Biography

Christian Andersson (b. 1973, Stockholm) lives and works between Paris, France and Coimbra, Portugal.

Drawing from history, popular culture and the canon of western civilization, Andersson is fusing together myths and given facts into something of a hybrid encyclopedia. Juxtaposing emotion and reason, he’s leaving a door open to the unprompted, impulsive and extemporaneous as legitimate paths towards the limbo he conjures out of truth’s fictions.

Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Hallands Konstmuseum, Halmstad and Borås Konstmuseum (both in 2024). Christian Andersson has had solo exhibitions at FRAC Normandie, Rouen and CAV - Visual Arts Center, Coimbra (both 2022), Museum CIAJG, Guimaraes (2018), the Kunstmuseum Thun (2015), as well as at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris and Moderna Museet, Malmö (both 2011). His work has been on view in group exhibitions at Borås Art Biennal (2024), Sinkka Art Museum, Kerava and Tourinnes-la-Grosse, Belgium (both 2023), Centre Pompidou Metz (2022), Havremagasinet Länskonsthall, Boden (2022), Hallands Konstmuseum, Halmstad (2020), Thielska Galleriet, Stockholm (2019), Malmö Konstmuseum (2017), Boimans van Beuningen Museum Rotterdam, Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (both 2016), Magazin 4, Bregenz (2014), Matadero, Madrid and the 12th Biennale de Lyon (both 2013).
