Hans Lannér works with images from various origins – moments from journeys, everyday life compositions, abstract thoughts and fading memories. He works in a dissolved but yet precise manner, where each smear of colour is both body and content. Where the motif is both simple and inscrutable.
There is a timeless fateful quality in Lannér’s work that Ulf Linde described in catalogue text: “…When our own species has died out the earth will continue to spin without us. The horizon will continue to be horizontal, weights will continue to fall straigt downwards, night will continue to follow on day: everything that the man crossing the road never needs to think about but takes for granted. This is what Hans Lannér gives expression to in his little, etched hymns.”
(from the book “Hans Lannér”, Carlsson bokförlag, 2008)
