Jonas Silfversten Bergman (born 1991) is a third year student at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design. His work revolves around the exploration of painting as a tool to examine the balance between the real and the abstract. In his latest paintings he has focused on common visual references from the industrial language.
By employing painting as a tool to construct realistic surfaces, Jonas recreates their essence and confronts them with painterly qualities such as over-exaggerations and abstractions.
The encounter between the real and the abstract creates an instability between the distinct and the diffuse.
