Stranger Danger

Joakim Allgulander X John Slade

Jealous North

16 May 2018 — 03 Jun 2018

Jealous is proud to present ‘Stranger Danger’, a show that brings together, for the first time, the works of Swedish artist Joakim Allgulander and Dublin-based artist John Slade.

Using a myriad of materials, such as spray paint or metallic liquids, the works are quiet and peaceful while conveying a sense of energy and life. Alongside the paintings, Allgulander will present Burned (2007) an installation of a classic sun chair where the seat is made in red neon; it’s hot, electric and high voltage. John Slade’s will also present a wide scope of his practice, showing multimedia works on paper and canvas in materials including oil paint, charcoal, inks and pastels

Joakim Allgulander

Joakim Allgulander is a Swedish sculptor, painter and ceramist born in Stockholm who lives and works in Gotland and London. Allgulander studied at Öland Folk School and the College of Arts in Stockholm. One of Sweden's most renowned contemporary artists, Allgulander creates work that evokes both emotion and curiosity. The work of Joakim Allgulander is characterized by a conceptual base, combined with the skill of craft and a love of the practical process. His work demonstrates a curiosity and desire to explore different media and techniques. There’s existential content and a dynamic play with contrasts throughout Allgulander’s work; everything from natural and artificial, new and old, to more archetypical opposites such as light and darkness, and life and death.
