(b. 1989) With a fondness for the investigational look, Jesper likes to dig and collect material from the collective pop-cultural substrate - using technological lingo as a material for analogy; within an updated interface these artifacts could appear as if new?
Jesper is currently researching how it feels to think.
Jesper Henningsson’s (Norrköping, Sweden, 1989) small linen wall panels are filled with graphite drawings of organic shapes that contrast with the more geometric figures and layout. The contrast between organic and geometric shapes mirrors the contrast between abstract and figurative elements like flowers. By using those contrasts, Henningsson emphasizes the tension between the mathematical and scientific and the cartoonish, questioning under what circumstances an object was made. Will it ever reach the eye? What does it say? And does the place of creation travel?
