The endearing, tragicomic figures of Swedish artist Joakim Ojanen express familiar emotions in peculiar ways.

The edition’s title references ‘Lillördag,’ a phrase meaning ‘little Saturday’ which has come to be used as an alternative name for Wednesday in Sweden — referencing a cultural trend for treating the day as a mini weekend in the middle of the working week.

Medium

Each work is individually hand blown, with differing thicknesses of glass. As a result, the colours vary between each piece, making each work unique. For best effect, we recommend placing the sculpture in a well lit room.

Joakim Ojanen concentrating on a metal sculpture which he is handling

Joakim Ojanen9 collaborationsOjanen’s creatures are surreal and deeply human at the same time. Each has a life of its own made up of droopy, worm-like expressions, bugged eyes, and odd flappy growths. Depicted across sculpture, painting and drawing, Ojanen uses a palette of pastel hues occasionally punctured by bursts of bright colour. The works contribute to the eclectic international resurgence of ceramics in contemporary art, from Grayson Perry to Yun Hee Lee. The works are inspired by DIY zine culture, as well as popular iconic cartoons like Garfield and Futurama. This sense of play runs throughout Ojanen’s practice, exploring the peculiar nature of the human condition.
