Roland Persson: The Composition
Turku Art Museum, Turku
- 6.6.2025–14.9.2025
Roland Persson is known for his impressive silicone sculptures, which he casts in moulds made from real objects.
At once sculptural and painterly, the result is stunningly illusory, strange and surreal. The brutally beautiful and touching composition of new works shown in the Studio is a testament to the fragility and vulnerability of life amidst the insecurity that surrounds us. The world they create balance between death, transience, nurture and care in a way that is characteristic of Persson.
Roland Persson (b. 1963) lives and works in Stockholm. He graduated from the Umeå School of Art in 1993 and continued his studies at the Royal Stockholm School of Art, graduating as a sculptor in 1999. Persson’s work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in the Nordic countries, Europe, Russia and Asia, and in Sweden he is also known for his many public works. In Finland, Persson’s works are part of several public collections, including Amos Rex, EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Wäinö Aaltonen Museum and Turku Art Museum. He is also currently a candidate for the Ars Fennica 2025 Prize.
