Tom Cullberg is an artist born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1972. He currently lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. The paintings of Cullberg are at once familiar and foreign, pensive and playful. Charting territories between seemingly tangible and intangible worlds, the artist presents us with collections of represented objects that explore both fictitious story telling as well as real or recorded histories. These signifiers or symbols, appearing as though from dreams, hover or float over abstract grounds that, like the mechanics of memory appear in a state of flux. With humour and seriousness his paintings consider processes of association and recognition in the reading of both private and public narratives.
