Andreas Eriksson’s major breakthrough came when he represented Sweden at the Venice Biennale in 2011. Here he chose to emphasize the interplay between outside and in, nature and architecture, by having the existing thick tree trunks in the centre of the pavilion interact with the paintings and the small bronze sculptures representing molehills and dead birds placed around the floor. Since then, Andreas Eriksson has been in constant demand for exhibitions in Sweden and abroad.

His first institutional solo exhibition was at Bonniers Konsthall in spring 2014. It was a critical success and went on to tour Trondheim Kunstmuseum in Norway Centre PasquArt in Switzerland and Iceland’s Reykjavik Art Museum. In Stockholm Eriksson’s vast painting “Stenbrottet” takes pride of place in the entrance of the city’s new hospital Nya Karolinska Solna (NKS). Measuring 11×6.5 meters, the work is mounted on the end of a huge lift shaft that runs through the centre of the building.

Andreas Eriksson was admitted to Stockholm’s Royal Institute of Art at the age of 18 (1993). On graduating, he went to live in Berlin, where his career blossomed, including working as an assistant for artists Olav Christopher Jenssen and Tobias Rehberger. The sudden onset of a sensitivity to electricity forced him to make radical changes to his life, moving to the countryside near Kinnekulle in Western Sweden, but this has not hindered his international career. If anything demand for his work has only increased. In 2018, Andreas Eriksson participated in two different group shows; "New Materialism" at Bonniers Konsthall (5 Sep - 11 Nov) and "NATURE- Home and Workplace" at Johannes Larsen Museet, Kerteminde in Denmark (15 Sep - 9 Dec).

Andreas Eriksson's breakthrough as an artist came when he represented Sweden at the Venice Biennale in 2011. Since then, Eriksson has exhibited his works both in Sweden and abroad and is today a matter of course in Swedish contemporary art.

Already as an 18-year-old, Andreas Eriksson started at the Stockholm Academy of the Arts, where he studied during the years 1993-1998. After graduating, he traveled to Berlin where he lived and worked for a while.

In connection with the fact that he suddenly suffered from electrical hypersensitivity, he was forced to change his life and moved to Kinnekulle.

In recent years, Andreas Eriksson's captivating paintings have been exhibited in several prominent galleries and museums, such as Bonniers Konsthall.
