HÅKAN ASKMARK

Born in 1949 and lives in Uppsala.

Everyday environments with paradoxical elements.
"Our tolerance for the deviant is not big and we don´t need much to perceive a person as deviant or a situation as absurd. Several of my paintings illustrate superficially seen an exclusion, but it is to me by no means obvious which individuals are the most pitiful, the lonely outliers or those in the group that follows the norm."
