venue：SNOW Contemporary
SNOW Contemporary is pleased to present David Stenbeck solo exhibition "Dreamscapes" from March3,2023 to April8,2023.
Born in 1978 in Lund, Sweden, Stenbeck has worked as a poet, literary critic, and editor. He eventually started working with 3D modeling software to visualize the world he depicts in his poetry. These works are often fantastical and seem to present “dreamscapes.” The landscapes depicted in his works, from the sky and clouds to mountains and seas, are all created using computer generated imagery (CGI). They give the viewers the illusion which blurs the boundaries between reality and unreality, and consciousness and unconsciousness.
Stenbeck comments on his artworks as follows:
“Setting classical art history as its base, my practice updates old conventions into something more contemporary and approachable by questioning the conventional structures and concepts. While referring to the sublime ideal of the Old World and deconstructing its motifs before the viewers’ eyes, I let the human body and other figurative forms guide the viewers to help the viewer focus on the composition.”
As Stenbeck mentions above, his artworks are created by extracting universal elements from classical art and reviving them in this contemporary era. He has also actively posted his works on Instagram under the account “dovneon,” which now has more than 260,000 followers. He collaborates with a number of fashion brands and companies around the world, and is increasingly gaining attention internationally.
This exhibition is the very first occasion to introduce David Stenbeck, who has attracted much attention through his works, in Japan. The exhibition will feature approximately ten works selected by Stenbeck himself, as well as several works at ART FAIR TOKYO, which will concurrently take place. We hope you will take this opportunity to visit the exhibition.
