Deconstruction by Light

If there is such a thing as subjective minimalism, Torbjörn Johansson defines it perfectly. But the term sound like an oxymoron to me, and if you go to far from the common interpretation of something you end up playing with words. But since Johansson’s aesthetics is so very similar to minimalism there is a need to say that it’s not. A critic at the site omkonst.com writes that "his intentions seem more like those of the painter, than those of the colour analyst."

Torbjörn Johansson works in many media, but is perhaps at his best when working with light. His latest installation Colores Apparantes uses light to deconstruct the dimensions of the room. It’s confusing, and beautiful.

I like a lot of his earlier stuff too. For example The Worlds Most Boring Man, and The Stair.
