With his distinctive mode of expression Jarl Ingvarsson holds a special position in Swedish contemporary art. He is often described as a poetic and powerful artist whose colourful, expressionistic paintings, often in large-scale format, have their roots in 1980s new expressionism. Influences from Swedish artists, Bror Hjorth and Sven X:et Erixson, can be discerned as well as from Hans Viksten, who was also his professor at the Academy. Ingvarsson’s narrative and imaginative images touch upon subjects such as life, death and religion, but also trivial quotidian objects such as milk packets or a coffee filter. Ingvarsson is constantly searching for new ways of tackling the canvas and he is not afraid to allow the canvas’s white surface to dominate.
