BIOGRAPHY

For nearly a decade Rytt (b. 1984, Sweden) has explored how the fundamental elements of painting; canvas, frame and pigment, interact with their surroundings and affect our perception of them. The artists bold, confident works repeatedly pose the question; When does material become image and what is created in the meeting of the viewer and the works surrounding spatiality?

As an artist, Rytt is drawn to the elementary premises of painting which acted as a source of inspiration and focus for the Concrete movement of the 1930’s as well as the Light & Space and Minimalist movements of the 1960’s. Exploring these ideas, Rytt expands upon the potential of Concrete painting and follows in a long tradition of earlier artists focused on a formal clarity within their work such as Lygia Clark, Lygia Pape and Olle Bærtling.
