Désirée Burenstrand Schyman
For Désirée Burenstrand Schyman, the act of painting is performative and exploratory.
Her work investigates concepts such as pain as a phenomenon, how it seems to arise and thus becomes intimate, a distinctive space that can only be described by the person within it.
Using painting as installation, Burenstrand Schyman adopts a phenomenological perspective on both inner and outer spatiality and their inherent properties, allowing her work to explore the properties of specific places, the material and embodiment of a substance such as water or of a concept such as sensibility. It also asks the question: Can what we are, be something else?
