Filippa Barkman's artistry derives its power from the intersection between events and conditions. The drawings deal with themes such as identity. impermanence and relationships. The characters function as metaphors for emotional states, different states of mind and often occupy a borderland between pain and pleasure. IN Tegnerforbundet gallery, she shows a suite of new charcoal drawings and watercolours.
Filippa Barkman (b.1982 in Stockholm) is educated at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm 2005-2009 and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen 2004-2005.
