Åsa Johansson’s sculptures are created according to the basic geometric shapes, examining the balance of both form and color. Using millimeter precision, she casts the shapes and then deforms some of them to create undulating variants. To create harmonious and balanced arrangements, she stacks the shapes on top of the other.

Soft colorful glazes, playing with hues and complementary colors, on strict hard forms create an exciting contrast. 

The title of the exhibition I Balans [In Balance] can be attributed to both the works in the exhibition and to her process. The creation requires great precision and closeness. Up until the very end, when everything is measured with a spirit level and the oven is put to 1260 degrees, she has control over the work, thereafter the rest is an immeasurable coincidence – it is also what brings the sculptures to life and the uncontrollable gives the sculpture its unique expression.
