 Olle Borg Principia Mundi Andréhn-Schiptjenko has the pleasure of presenting a new solo exhibition by Olle Borg. In a series of six oil and enamel paintings on canvas, Olle Borg deals with the human need to find a meaning in life through an instinctive way of always seeking for codes and patterns in our environment. In his œuvre, Olle Borg has always been interested in the relationship between chaos and order. In chaos the mere chance is prevalent and there is no visible consistency - meaning comes with order. These new paintings are based on a series of the numbers 3, 4 and 5 in different mathematical formulas. From these numbers, images are created, images that challenge the viewer's instinct to find a consistency in the symbols and patterns. In these new works the colours have been given a narrative role, they are reconstructions from Borg's own memory of colours of different objects. Olle Borg was born in Stockholm in 1960 and educated at the The Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He is represented at a majority of the most important art institutions in Sweden, among them Moderna Museet, Göteborgs Konstmuseum and Borås Konstmuseum. He lives and works in Stockholm.
