Johan Bloom
Johan Bloom is a Swedish-born artist whose journey has taken him from the landscapes of Botswana and Mozambique to the vibrant contrasts of Sweden and South Africa. His work reflects a deep exploration of the human condition and our relationship with nature.
Bloom's artistic practice is rooted in the belief that humanity and nature are inextricably linked. His canvases, often bursting with colour, invite viewers to engage with the magnificence of the natural world while also considering the hidden life that thrives beneath the surface.
Having spent years as a teacher and gallery owner, Bloom draws inspiration from his experiences as a long-distance commuter between northern and southern hemispheres. He finds common threads in the art and cultures of these diverse regions, particularly in the parallels between rock art in the Drakensberg and petroglyphs in Scandinavia.
Johan Bloom's art is a celebration of life’s interconnectedness and an invitation to reflect on our place within the natural world. His exhibitions have reached audiences across multiple continents, each piece resonating with a vibrant energy that captivates and inspires.
