Fundamental questions about the world are a constant thread in Andersson’s work. The artist attempts to illustrate these complex questions in series of works developed over long periods of time. The metaphorical power of images is a compelling source for the artist, as is the impact of different mythologies and belief systems of our day. Concepts like pareidolia, eisegesis, backmasking and the Rorschach test are very inspiring to him and fuel much of his work.
