Mikael Lo Presti is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm whose paintings are informed by his examination of art history, his own family heritage and particular signifiers of our collective contemporary moment. Lo Presti’s work evokes a feeling of belonging both to different times and settings at once. His recent direction has seen him place a focused interest on still-life painting, where he has approached the traditional theme in his own captivating visual language. Motives of lone figures which find themselves in moments of the in-between or inactivity are also frequently explored within the paintings, drawing from both personal memory and history.
