About the new etchings
The act of creating rushes forward along quick paths over roots and meadows. There is a longing and an eagerness to arrive, preferably as soon as possible. With the years, you set that thought aside. One thing leads to another, and the journey widens.
Sometimes you stop, marvel at a shadow, a beam of light, two things that have ended up next to each other in what seems like chance, and something new has come to life.
This time it became eight new graphic prints in a modest size. Humble lines that do not boast, shadows that tremble lightly and whose density tastes richer than one might have expected at first glance. The journey continues, outward, away, and—as always—inward.
Drypoint etching
"It’s not just the darkness itself that I appreciate. It’s the interplay between the dark and the light, the thin air in a face, the volume in a body, and the compact, heavy earth beneath the feet. Drypoint etchings are life and death, black on white."

Jesper Waldersten
From being one of Sweden’s most popular illustrators and cutting satirist, with numerous international awards behind him, Jesper Waldersten (born 1969) has rapidly made a name for himself as a recognised and distinctive artist.
With his inimitable style in which he seemingly unhindered mixes words, photos, music and draughtsmanship, he creates images where nothing is static, nothing is obvious. The result is unpredictable, ingenious and usually unsettling; you may laugh at the clever wordplay, the sharp humour and the contemporary commentaries but lurking throughout is a depth of seriousness.
He has published several highly acclaimed books and has exhibited in Sweden and abroad to very positive reviews. Waldersten lives in Mariefred, outside Stockholm.
