Some information about us:
Håkan, who passed away in the spring of 2021, had an unusual path to art.
As a newly qualified lawyer, he suffered a serious stroke at the age of 27.
He had to learn to read, speak and walk.
After a few years, he began drawing, painting and photographing with his left hand after
having been right-handed.
We went on many painting trips, Håkan rarely depicted directly but was inspired by new landscapes
and always by music.
I myself paint figuratively, mostly in oil.
Often landscapes, still lifes and sometimes portraits.
The trips have often been north, such as to the High Coast and Lofoten, but also Denmark and
Småland.
We have exhibited around the country at art galleries and art associations.

Håkan Larsson
If Håkan had been born in a different context, such as
among some nature people, he would have been a shaman.
Someone who has direct contact with existence, who lets go of time and space during creation.
Like a hallucinator with post-traumatic memory disorder.
Like a shaman who wakes up after a long stay in the realms of the gods and who is not allowed to remember what he has seen. But who retrieves difficult-to-interpret messages for others to interpret.
He does not want to put titles on his works, he himself does not know what they represent or are about, does not remember…
The rest of us mortals must interpret what we need to see.
Håkan is on his way to the next seance….”
