Tommy Lennartsson employs a diverse array of artistic mediums, including charcoal, acrylic, ink, and spray paint, and he occasionally incorporates sewing and stitching techniques to assemble captivating scenes that ignite the viewer's imagination. His work deftly blends abstract and figurative elements, paying homage to artistic movements like neo-expressionism, faux-naїf, pop art, and geometric abstraction. Hailing from Sweden, Tommy Lennartsson draws inspiration from the visual culture of street and pop art, infusing his original mixed-media artworks with vibrant energy.
“The process is a spontaneous and impulsive one in which I layer materials one upon the other and occasionally stitching and sewing elements together until the piece begins to take shape. When I look at my paintings,
I’m taken back to my childhood of endless doodling on my bedroom floor,” the
artist describes.
Lennartsson’s work has been featured in the Spanish arts and culture magazine Lamono and was selected as the cover art for the Spring 2019 issue of New England Review. Lennartsson
has exhibited extensively in both group and solo shows and has caught the attention
of collectors from across the world, including the US, Canada, Europe, Japan
, and China.
