David von Bahr

CV

Known for his abstract expressionist, often large-scale, paintings, von Bahr conveys a bold and energetic perspective, guided by internal systems and reflective of the artist’s own movement patterns.

His process is both instinctive and methodical. By adhering to repeated compositional systems and orders, von Bahr is allowed freedom within his chosen constraints. Paint, glue and collage elements are applied to the canvas through varied techniques, each layer responding to the one before it. Confident strokes and sprays of color, unexpected details and unruly scatterings of paint come together in rhythmic compositions.

 

David von Bahr (b. 1992, SE) graduated from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts & Design in 2019. Von Bahr lives and works in Stockholm.
