Stockholm-based artist Evelina Kroon builds beautiful, repetitive graphic compositions and unexpected colour combinations using a special method involving tape, paint and lacquer. Her new collection with ARKET features a series of colourful plaids produced by Swedish woollen mill Klippan, bringing some welcome warmth and creative energy into our homes as we move into the autumn and winter months.
Working within the fields of painting, interiors and colouration, Evelina Kroon has created a dynamic space of her own between the fine and decorative arts. Influenced by nature and her close surroundings as well by human interactions, Kroon's works echo both historic and contemporary women's arts and crafts.
‘As a mother of little children, most of my inspiration currently comes from the smaller life. It's the things I see on the daily walks in my neighbourhood: the meeting spot at the local square, a trash can in front of a sun-drenched facade, and conversations with my 3-year-old about the meaning of beauty,' says Evelina Kroon.
Renowned for her simplistic but powerful ‘tape paintings', Kroon's work is signified by repetitive graphic compositions and unexpected colour combinations.
‘Colour is mood, memories, politics, perception, seasons and symbolism. It's everything we see. For me, personally, colour also means joy.'
