Fresh Fish Gallery

Fredrik Åkum is 23 years old and is originally from Kristinehamn but is currently living in Gothenburg.

Fredrik Åkum is a multifaceted artist. Based in the visual arts world he blends and experiments with elements like sound and design to create contrast and give the works a new dimention.

He sees himself as a storyteller and in his paintings he depicts themes as escapism, melancholy and utopian concept. Each image is part of a larger story, but is simultaneously art in its own right and tells its own story.
Despite his young age of 23 he already has a distinct style and a great technical skill when it comes to creating interesting and exciting compositions. Åkum has a huge drive of creativity, and will almost certainly be the next big name in art Sweden.

				Tomas Lundgren - October 13th, 2011
				It's not interesting for Tomas Lundgren to create completely new images. His visions come from existing objects/images, like a photograph, a text or an object. For Tomas it's the selection and exploration of the object that matters. He consider himself a filter that the old object passes through on it's way to become a new vision or artwork. Tomas Lundgren is 25 years old and was born and raised in Uddevalla. He has a Bachelor degree in Art from the National University College of Fine Arts in Malmö and is currently on his Masters year at Valand National University College of Fine Arts in Gothenburg.
