Jim Thorell: The Grey Liberator Event

“So imagine you can not read the written words of this science, you don’t understand the symbols included in the message, your device doesn’t even pick up the signal and this alien liberator comes to check you out. It’s scary, right?
And maybe you should be sceptical of the absolute authority this creature seems to command over you.”

Jim Thorell, b. 1981 in Stockholm where he lives and works. He studied at schools in Finland, Japan, Vietnam and Austria before receiving his MFA from Valand Academy in Gothenburg. Working figuratively in a wildly expressive manner, his intuitive painting produces larger-than-life live things. Thorell?s work has been shown at Loyal Gallery and with Carl Kostyál in Stockholm, Gillmeier Rech in Berlin, Roman Road Gallery and Union Pacific in London, S2 Gallery in New York City, Wanås Konst and Moderna Museet in Malmö.
