PONTUS RAUD

In Pontus Raud's world of moments, absurd encounters often occur like a choreography with the unexpected and the abstract.

Raud finds inspiration in everyday life, in observations of everything from ongoing social debates and news reports to beach life and holidays. Unforeseen events and absurdities are often given special space, where seemingly small events can have a lot of room to gather in an associate story.

Pontus Raud holds a Master of Fine Art from the Stockholm School of Art 1994 - 98. Since then he has had several separate exhibitions and curating events and projects both nationally and internationally.

Since 2006, Pontus Raud has been the initiator and creative director for Supermarket Stockholm Independent Art Fair, an annual international art fair for artist-run galleries.
