I live in Stockholm. My work is divided between Stockholm and Västerås. I am a member of BUS & KC-Öst.


Cronological summaration of more or less imortant events. If for no other reasons: self-therapeutic ones.

1980 Born in Västerås, Sweden.

1986-1988 Live in Pittsburgh, USA.

1990 Discover David Lynch, too young to grasp. Scared, fascinated.

1994 Become increasingly obsessed with film. Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick and, of course, Lynch.
Realise I want to be a film director. Write screenplays I am unable to carry through.

1995 Shave my head.

1996 Discover Nick Cave & Jack Kerouac. Start writing horrible poetry. Fall in love.

1998 Begin painting, largely influenced by David Lynch & Jean-Michel Basquiat. Fall in love, again.

1999 My first encounter with the only job that ever made any sense: delivering newspapers. At night.

2000 Fall in love. Get the Warehouse Blues.

2000-2001 Study video-production at Kantzowska, Surahammar. Form Junk Food Productions.
A bunch of short films follow, some screenings & awards at minor festivals in Sweden.

2003 First group show. First (failed) novel attempt.

2004 First solo show (horrible review in the paper). Start to cry when I see Cy Twombly's Quattro Stagioni
at Tate Modern in London. The only time a work of art has had this effect on me. Fall in love.

2005 Stand in blood at a meat factory, while the soundless scream of a thousand dead cow-souls filled my mind. Curiously I do not become a vegetarian. Also, I start wearing glasses.

2005-2006 Study art at Skinnskattebergs Folkhögskola, begin to paint solely abstract.

2006 First good review in the paper.

2006-2007 Start & run The Basement gallery in Västerås, produce 22 exhibitions.

2007 Form the alternative rock band Hotel Wedding. Singer/lyricist. Band gets a flat tire, & thus ceases to exist
by the end of 2008. Start experimenting with sound, making weird sound-collages under the name Bjarne Madox.

2008 Fall in love.

2009 Start the lefthand project I'm Afraid Of Bumblebees - still sound-collages, but (I guess) a step closer to
"music". Re-design my website, move to Stockholm, write this chronology.

2010 Receive an art-scholarship from Konstnärsföreningen in Västerås.
