4 • www.lackokinnekulle.se A R T ANDREAS ERIKSSON IS ONE of Sweden’s most successful artists and his pieces can be found in some of the most prestigious museums around the world. This summer, after a ten-year hiatus, he will finally be exhibiting once again in Sweden. Lidköping Art gallery and Vänermuseet will be showcasing two complementary exhibitions of his work under the heading ‘Rötter’ (Roots). “It feels really great. This has largely been the base for all my work, after all, and Lidköping has shaped me to a great extent, both as an artist and as a person.” The art gallery is presenting paintings from the past ten years fromAndreas’ own collection, while Vänermuseet is displaying a painting and a photo, both in large format. In addition, his extensive range of books will be available at the museum for visitors to sit and browse through. Many of them are photo-based and focus on the local natural environment. It’s the local area specifically, and above all the ancient landscape in and around Kinnekulle that serves as Andreas’ main source of inspiration. “Kinnekulle possesses tremendous visual richness and variety. To all intents and purposes, the natural environment of all of Sweden can be found represented within a half-hour radius of the mountain here. It’s magical,” says Andreas, who has lived in Medelplana for long periods, but now also has a house in Lidköping.
