is a painter, curator and writer whose work often contains a playful double coding. His ‘paintings’ are both works on canvas or paper as well as site-specific installations with sticky tape, paint and stretcher frames. In printed forms these paintings can be transformed to woodcuts or digitally manipulated illustrations.
Jan Rydén lives and works in Stockholm. He has studied at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2002-2008), as well as at the architecture program at the Royal Institute of Art.
