In this spring's major solo exhibition at Färgfabriken, Roland Persson explores the intersection between man and nature, the conscious and the subconscious, and the private and the public. The exhibition is a mid-career presentation spanning three decades of creation, where Persson's artistic journey is depicted from early self-reflective works about childhood and inner trauma to more recent works focusing on damaged and distorted nature.

Persson creates surrealistic compositions through hyperrealistic casts of flora and fauna, where the flexible silicone material plays a central role. With a painterly method and experimental techniques, he manages to create an extraordinary wealth of detail in his sculptures. The details are so meticulously executed that they appear as real fragments of nature – frozen moments in a surreal, dreamlike world where nature clings to life despite human destruction.
