In his constant traveling in the subconscious, he returns from time to time to a cave. Maybe it actually is a swelling inside of a mothers womb, in which death paradoxically fells threateningly close. The ambivalence and the ambiguous is almost a trademark. Eroticism and annihilation is one. A creepy mix of sweetness and coldness. Intriguing and seductive – but poisonous. Clear and pedant but in the same time elusive and secretive. Thus continues our walk through Andinéland.

- Pontus Hammarén, Head of Borås Art museum. This is an excerpt from the catalogue Tittofili/ Peepophilila


Patrik Andiné (b 1968) lives and works in Gothenburg and graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in 1995. His paintings have been exhibited widely, for example at Alingsås Art museum in 2009 and make part of various collections in Sweden such as The Arts Council Sweden, Gothenbourg Art Museum and Borås Art museum.

In 2010 he was awarded The Sten A Olsson Cultural award “…for paintings that allow for interpretive sad subjects to blends with a human path for survival; a rather bizarre humour and a careful attention to detail.” This is Andiné’s third solo exhibition with the gallery.
