Fredrik Säker
Oil painter based in Grythyttan,Sweden. Born 1983 in Örebro.
Fredrik works in a Classic tradition with ”vanitas” as a subject matter, a 17th-century Dutch genre containing symbols of death or change as a reminder of their inevitability.
Heavily inspired by Charles Budelaire’s ”Les Fleurs de mal” and the Dutch floral painters, but with an execution of contemporary photo realism.
Raising questions around life, death and the perception of reality.
The animals in his paintings are not seldom roadkill found around Älvestorp where he works and resides.
Attended Örebro Art collage 2006-2007
