Viktor Byhr is an energetic Gothenburg based artist and our latest participant in “artist talk”.  Primarily, he works with collages made from street trash. This highly undervalued material is probably a reference to the “hot topic” of environmental issues.

Viktor Byhr is convinced that Borås is the current center of the artistic world or as he says:

Now it is probably Borås, since my friend from NYC, Shai Dahan moved there. He is awesome and will bring fresh air to the current art scene.

Forget Berlin, Borås is the place!

BUFFÉ

Vernissage: 27th of April 2011, Galleri KORN (Stockholm)

An exhibition called “Buffé” is now running in this tiny gallery at Hornstull. Viktor Byhr, a Göteborg’s-based artist is renting out a space and showing his work at Galleri Korn for the next two weeks.  The title of the exhibition describes, according to the artist, the art work as a “little mix of everything”. Lot of the things that are used in the art work is trash, picked up by the artist both on the street and in the forest.

The atmosphere was friendly and a breeze of positive vibe was felt by the work and the artist, even though some of the art work seemed to have a more serious undertone were the “hot topic” of environmental issues was clearly one of the focal point.

“Buffé” is worth checking out, if not for buying an art work than just for looking around and having a nice chat with the artist.

As stated by the artist´s blog, he is having an extra vernissage and a birthday party at Galleri Korn tomorrow, 29th of April from 18.00. Everybody is welcome.

Happy birthday Viktor Byhr!
