present in his larger installation works and his permanent public sculptural works.
Said about Per Svensson:
"Alchemy reappears as a movement and mental image with Per Svensson. VITRIOL (Visit the
Earth's inner and trough purification you should find the secret stone). A spiritual,
artistic, metamorphosis in other words"
"Per Svensson is one of the leading visual and sound artists from Sweden"
/ Thomas Millroth, Art critic, Art Historian
"Per Svensson's paintings stand in a tradition of political painting but with a kick-ass
attitude that often is absent in art"
/ Håkan Nilsson, Art critic, DN
"Per Svensson's space capsule is a molecule constructed from life´s own atom, carbon, wich
encapsulate a tiny living space, a biosphere"
/Ingrid Sandahl, Professor of Space Physics, IRF, Kiruna
"...As with the contemporary artist Olafur Eliasson, he investigates the forces of nature,
it is a kind of scientific research but from a humanistic perspective"
/ Yrr Jonasdottir, Director of Ystad Art Museum.
