In this episode, Enuma Okoro speaks with Swedish artist Andreas Eriksson about a practice rooted in perception, memory, materiality, and the natural world. Moving between painting, sculpture, photography, prints, textiles, and drawing, Eriksson describes how visual sensations, walks through the landscape, and memories find their way into the studio. From an early childhood memory of becoming snow-blind to the bronze casts of birds that collided with his studio windows, the conversation traces how formative experiences of perception, vulnerability, and loss inform his fascination with illusion, reflection, and the shifting boundary between what we see, feel, and know.

Eriksson’s work will be shown in two exhibitions at two galleries in Berlin in September: Horizontal Fold at Barbara Wien and a parallel presentation at neugerriemschneider with Korean painter Kim Chong Hak. Together, they offer a chance to encounter his recent work outside the intimacy of the studio and within new spatial and artistic contexts.
