⁠ ⁠ Anders Krisár⁠ Artist talk and book signing⁠ ⁠ Saturday, May 9, 2–4 PM⁠ Gallery opening hours 12–4 PM⁠ ⁠ CFHILL, Riddargatan 13⁠ ⁠ CFHILL warmly invites you to an artist talk and book signing with Anders Krisár, Saturday, May 9, 2–4 PM in connection with his current exhibition Father Figures at CFHILL. The afternoon opens with a conversation with the artist, offering a glimpse into his creative process. After the talk, Krisár will sign copies of the book Sculpture. The book is an in-depth survey of Anders Krisár’s sculptural work, presented in a beautifully crafted book designed by Henrik Nygren. It unfolds as a dialogue between his artistic practice and Cecilia Dupire’s insights into visual art, music, and her behavioral psychology research. We look forward to welcoming you.⁠ ⁠ Father Figures, an exhibition by Anders Krisár. The exhibition centers on a series of sculptures in polished steel and bronze depicting a young boy in three stages of a dive: standing at the edge of the diving platform, leaning forward with his gaze directed toward the water; suspended mid-air in a pike position; and seated at the pool’s edge in quiet reflection. High Diver (1–3), 2022–26, forms a multi-layered body of work exploring the narcissistic gaze, the discipline of mastery, and the existential weight of the decisive moment.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @cfhillofficial @anderskrisarstudio #CFHILL⁠

Rum för avsked, 2024, is a series of intimate drawings made while observing the artist’s father in the “room for farewell” at Södersjukhuset. In some sixty drawings—thirty-six of which are on view—Krisár renders his father’s deceased form in a quick, impressionistic style recalling Monet’s haystacks, as well as his father’s own painterly language of expressionistic cross-hatching. Each drawing represents the reappearance of a loved one who is no longer alive, as well as the tracing of a new memory. Father Figures @cfhillofficial is on view until May 22.

Opens today Anders Krisár⁠ Father Figures⁠ ⁠ April 17 – May 22⁠ CFHILL, Riddargatan 13 ⁠ ⁠ Tue–Fri 12–5 PM ⁠ Sat 12–4 PM ⁠ Mon–Sun Closed⁠ ⁠ CFHILL presents Father Figures, an exhibition by Anders Krisár. The exhibition centers on a series of sculptures in polished steel and bronze depicting a young boy in three stages of a dive: standing at the edge of the diving platform, leaning forward with his gaze directed toward the water; suspended mid-air in a pike position; and seated at the pool’s edge in quiet reflection. High Diver (1–3), 2022–26, forms a multi-layered body of work exploring the narcissistic gaze, the discipline of mastery, and the existential weight of the decisive moment. ⁠ ⁠ The series takes as its point of departure a historical photograph depicting Krisár’s father as a young diver in Budapest in the late 1950s. Captured mid-jump, the father’s body appears to hover in the air, frozen in a moment of complete control. By translating this archival image into sculpture, Krisár returns to a past that precedes his own existence, offering a glimpse of what he has inherited from his father. The figure becomes not only a biographical echo, but also a reflection on the traits, ambitions, and decisions that have shaped, and continue to shape, the artist’s life and practice. These themes are further developed in Room for Farewell (2024), a series of intimate drawings created while the artist sat beside his father in a farewell room at Södersjukhuset hospital. In approximately sixty drawings, thirty-six of which are included in the exhibition, Krisár renders his deceased father in a rapid, impressionistic style that recalls Monet’s haystacks as well as the father’s own painterly language, marked by expressionistic cross-hatching. ⁠ ⁠ Together, these works reflect an ongoing engagement with memory, the fleeting nature of time, and the relationship between sculpture, drawing, and remembrance. Each drawing evokes the presence of a loved one no longer living. Each dive and return to the surface mirrors a desire to preserve that memory, and each time, a new farewell. ⁠ ⁠ @cfhillofficial @anderskrisarstudio #CFHILL

High Diver (3), 2026 High Diver (1–3), 2022–26, is a sculptural series in polished steel and bronze depicting a youthful figure at three distinct moments of a dive: standing poised at the edge of a platform, peering down at the water; suspended mid-somersault in the air; and seated at the edge of the pool in reflection. Rich in layered meanings, the works evoke a narcissistic relationship with the self, the repetition and discipline required to excel at any endeavor, and the existential weight of the instant of decision.

Small High Diver (1), 2026, will be on view during my solo exhibition Father Figures @cfhillofficial The show opens to the public on April 17

High Diver (2), 2026 The origin of this series lies in a singular historical photograph: an image of Krisár’s father as a young high diver in Budapest in the late 1950s. Captured mid-dive, the father’s body appears suspended in space, frozen in a moment of controlled descent. By translating this archival image into sculpture, Krisár revisits a past that predates his own existence and offers a fleeting glimpse of what he inherited from his father. The boy thus becomes not only a biographical echo of the father, but also an autobiographical reflection on the qualities, aspirations, and decisions that shaped—and continue to shape—the artist’s own life and practice.

My sixth and final single, Memory of Stefan, is now released. I wrote this piece after the passing of my best friend Stefan in 2008. While I normally spend months refining a composition, this one came together in just a few days, as if it had already been written. Performed by Roland Pöntinen and released by European Gramophone, this piece completes the first round of my recorded works for piano, now available on all major streaming platforms.
