Aron Landahl
(Born in Sweden 1984. Lives and works in Uppsala, Sweden)

Aron Landahl was raised on the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea. As an illustrator, Aron Landahl's images have been seen in various magazines throughout Sweden. Its setting often involves elements from the nature and the quieter dwelling with some distances away from the peak of action. The mood is somewhat eerie. Hatching with steel pen and ink creates misty details for the viewers to observe. Landahl plans his debut to publish a book in Sweden as the illustrator and author of Dropp Dropp, a horror story for three-year olds.

When he was a child, he found a book at the local communal library called 100 views of Mt. Fuji with magnificent images within. Now, some decades later, he travels to Japan to further study the world of Hokusai and his works of art. With this, the artistic examination is to develop the project 100 views of Karlsö, a local application of Hokusai's great works. The centre of these views will instead be the islands of Karlsö, situated in the Gotlandic area where Landahl was raised. These islands are regionally famous for their unique cakelike shapes attracting birds and plants of rare kinds.
