Scenes from NEANDERTHAL LANDSCAPE, 2009-2010 by Matts Leiderstam

What is old is new right?

Matts Leiderstam is a Swedish painter who brings classic ostentatious cultural paintings into a form of contemporary exploration using  modern slide projections, computer animations, optical instruments and his own paintings and drawings to open up new perspectives on historical motifs and compositions. 

Dissecting pieces in a new light, classical pieces become re-imagined in an elaborate way.

Worshiping tradition, new ideas emerge.
