Tommy Hilding
In his recent exhibitions, Tommy Hilding has worked with a large variety of expressions in his paintings. He explores several paths simultaneously, and sometimes combines them in one painting. At the core there is a documentary and realistic visual language in which Hilding carefully constructs images of urbanity or the surrounding nature. A more abstract and spontaneous way of painting eats its way into the imagery and exists both inside and outside the motif itself. In later years, Hilding has also tenderly integrated samples from art history into his paintings. These are usually motifs from 19th-century romantic painting which either blend seamlessly into the image or are put in contrast with the contemporary. Tommy Hilding’s paintings portray an ambivalence and rootlessness that exist in our time. He challenges chronology and reverses concepts with a language that is playful yet urgent.
Tommy Hilding (b.1954 in Skagersvik, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. He has exhibited at galleries and institutions since the late 1980s. He is represented in the collections of Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Västerås Konstmuseum, Norrköpings Konstmuseum, Stockholm City, Folke Bernadotte Academy, Kramfors, and The Public Art Agency Sweden. He is one of the contemporary artists in the exhibition The Romantic Eye at Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden.
Tommy Hilding har i sina senaste utställningar arbetat med en stor variation av uttryck i sina målningar. Han utforskar flera vägar samtidigt och kombinerar dem ibland i en och samma målning. I grunden finns ett dokumentärt och realistiskt bildspråk där Hilding omsorgsfullt konstruerar bilder av urbanitet, natur och interiörer. Ett mer abstrakt och spontant måleri äter sig in i bilderna och finns både inom och utanför själva motivet. På senare år har Hilding också ömsint integrerat lån från konsthistorien i sina målningar. Det handlar då oftast om motiv från 1800-talets romantiska måleri som antingen smälter in i bilden eller ställs i kontrast till det samtida. Tommy Hildings målningar gestaltar en ambivalens och rotlöshet som finns i vår tid. Han utmanar kronologin och vänder på begreppen med ett språk som är både lekfullt och angeläget.
Tommy Hilding (f.1954 i Skagersvik, Sverige) bor och arbetar i Stockholm, Sverige. Han har ställt ut på gallerier och institutioner sedan slutet av 1980-talet. Han finns representerad i samlingarna på bl.a. Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Västerås Konstmuseum, Norrköpings Konstmuseum, Stockholms Stad, Folke Bernadotteakademin, Kramfors och Statens Konstråd. Han är även aktuell i Nationalmuseums uppmärksammade utställning Romantiken – ett sätt att se.
