Erik Sigerud is a contemporary Swedish artist and painter who deftly combines psychological tension in his works, exploring the disconnect between public and private lives. His artwork speaks to the complexities of our modern world, often testing ideas about how thought, language, and reality interact while leaving room for viewer interpretation. Through unique imagery that surpasses physical reality and language, Sigerud decodes what he sees around him in contemporary life.
The impact of fear on collective events and voting behavior is a frequent theme in Sigerud’s work. He creates art that brings disparate elements together in order to explore how people process their emotions and reactions to their environment. This includes painting pieces that depict dystopian worlds or everyday moments with an ominous undertone of turmoil beneath the surface. By blurring the distinctions between public and private spheres, Sigerud seeks to understand how people relate to one another within these spaces.

Sigerud’s paintings have been featured in numerous prestigious exhibitions across Europe, including at Sweden’s National Museum of Fine Arts and other galleries in Stockholm, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Rotterdam, Vienna, Berlin, London, Copenhagen, Oslo and Helsinki. He has also exhibited in New York City at The Hole Gallery and White Columns as well as other venues throughout the United States.
Though many of his works are inspired by current events or personal musings about life experiences, some of Erik’s pieces feature recognizable symbols from popular culture or iconic figures from history such as Dante Alighieri or Jimi Hendrix. Those who are familiar with his work may recognize recurring motifs such as a burning guitar or a lion that serves as a metaphor for strength amidst chaos.
In addition to his visual artistry displayed through painting and sculpture mediums such as stone carving or bronze casting sculptures; he has also released several publications such as “Nightmare Before Coffee” which dissects themes related to surrealism and dreams through text-based essays accompanied by vivid images evoking a sense of dreamlike dread. He has also released several books featuring collections of his artwork such as “Anatomy Of A Painting” which consists of digital prints created from scanned original works layered with additional imagery using computer technology for maximal effect.
