Andreas POPPELIER
1973, Sweden

Name Andreas POPPELIER
Birth 1973, Sweden
Lived & Active In Malmö, Sweden

Andreas Poppelier is a diverse storyteller; he chooses the medium and expression through
the subject. This variation has become part of his artistry, not to stay within one way of
expression, continuing to investigate ways to formulate his ideas. A past within the graffiti
culture and an interest in tattoos is noticeable but these cultural preferences have a place
in Poppelier’s artistry together with an interest for, among others, renaissance paintings.
Nothing is too high or low, something which can be seen in the works displayed at Galleri
Thomas Wallner. Everything should be taken seriously.

Andreas Poppelier har ett flertal separat- och grupputställningar bakom sig, bland annat i Sverige, Tyskland, Danmark och Finland. Hans måleri har ställts ut på Åbo konstmuseum och visas hösten 2009 på Estlands konstmuseum, under rubriken \"I love Malmö\".
\"Ett förflutet inom graffitin och ett intresse för tatuerarkonsten är märkbar. Men dessa populärkulturella markörer samsas i Andreas Poppeliers värld med ett intresse för bland annat klassiskt renässansmåleri. Inget är för högt eller lågt. Allt ska tas på lika stort allvar.\"
Dunkers Kulturhus, Andreas Nilsson
\"Det är omöjligt att inte dra på munnen åt hans figurer som sticker fram sina näpna huvuden på de mest oväntade platser i hans måleri. På ett liknande sätt fungerar hans lätt skruvade bildjargong med drag från seriemagasinens och graffitikonstens värld. Som kontrast dryper vissa dukar av ett kladdigt färgspel i upplösning, ett tumult av mörker och absurditet i varierande tongångar.\"
