Mamma Andersson

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Widely recognised for her pastoral, ethereal art, Mamma Anderson is a contemporary Swedish artist, inspired by her rural upbringing. Anderson’s most distinguishing trait throughout her work is arguably her incorporation of various other works by notable artists; Stairway to the Stars is perhaps her most notable work of this kind – the piece is comprised of an array of canvases, appearing to float upwards against a dark sky and mountains, and features works by Hopper, Monet, Gauguin and Manet.

« I think the color is close friend of the psyche, a kind of mode. »

Anderson has cited John-Erik Franzen and Dick Bengtsson as major influences on her work, as well as her native roots – she stated: “My style follows a very Nordic painting tradition: landscapes, interiors, relationships, and dramas.”

«As an artist I live in a continuous contact with art history, you could say that it is other artists that gives me impulse and energy. »
Mamma Andersson

She is also particularly inspired by film and theater, often employing a stage-like setting for her works, a technique that she describes as ‘absurd’ but somehow still able to ‘buy into’.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
