Biography
Benoit Sjöholm was born in 1980 and lives near Paris.
During his childhood, he was particularly nourished by the work of Judith Reigl and Simon Hantaï, both friends of his maternal grandparents.
Benoît studied graphic design and worked for 15 years as an independent art director. Typography and graphic signs were very early on in the artist's preoccupations.
It is therefore quite natural that Benoit Sjöholm now devotes his art to writing and its evocation.
His approach focuses on the gesture, governed by a certain given rhythm, revealing an abstract and raw writing. Dictated by one and the same energy, the latter testifies to a moment of creative life, of a unique moment. Like a seismograph, his painting is the recording, the trace of living things in perpetual evolution. It is in fact a research on spontaneity in an imposed framework.
Like signatures, the lines of writing fill the medium which becomes almost organic material.
