​Simon Fensholm works with painting. His artistic universe is based on man's search for control in an uncontrolled context. His work presents itself as an examination of the constructed authenticity and the controlled chaos that, like a life jacket, allows us to float on top of the imperfect and vulnerable. The paintings are like an expressive documentary that creates a coherent voyeuristic portrait of modern man. The viewer is placed somewhere between perfection and imperfection, between the melancholy and the hopeful. Between abstraction and figurative.
