was born in 1973 in Stockholm and currently lives and works in Paris, France and Coimbra, Portugal.
As a point of departure in history, popular culture and the canon of western civilization, Andersson is fusing together myths and given facts into something of a hybrid encyclopedia. Juxtaposing emotion and reason, he’s leaving a door open to the unprompted, impulsive and extemporaneous as legitimate paths towards the limbo he conjures out of truth’s fictions.
Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Hallands Konstmuseum, Halmstad and Borås Konstmuseum (both in 2024). Christian Andersson has had solo exhibitions at FRAC Normandie, Rouen and CAV - Visual Arts Center, Coimbra (both 2022), Museum CIAJG, Guimaraes (2018), the Kunstmuseum Thun (2015), as well as at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris and Moderna Museet, Malmö (both 2011).
