Abstractions
Abstractions was first shown in Sweden in the summer of 2023, presented by 3 Hombres Art and Bengtsson Fine Art alongside Per Gessle’s return-to-music concert and Fredrik Etoall’s Roxette photo exhibition. The works emerged from the creative momentum of Revelations, my 2022 solo exhibition at Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles — the festival’s first edition after the pandemic.
This series explores abstraction as a living space where form is never fixed. Light fractures against glass, edges dissolve in reflection, and geometry becomes a framework for emotion. Each image captures a moment both precise and impermanent, inviting viewers to navigate perception the way one might move through a building — slowly, with awareness, and open to change.

Tres Hombres Art was founded at the end of the 80s, right after Per Gessle had become a part owner of the hotel with Björn Nordstrand. Per and his wife Åsa Gessle were planning to buy a sculpture for their garden, but the art dealer went bankrupt before the deal was finalized, so the sculpture ended up with a liquidator. A deal with the sculptor was made anyway—but only on the condition that the Gessles bought the entire art collection of 1 300 pieces.
With 23 000 sqm of space to fill, the idea to transform the newly acquired hotel into a gigantic art gallery was born. Together with friends and collaborators Lasse Nordin and Jan Beime, Per created Tres Hombres as a means to give the hotel a pop culture edge that would be totally unique in the business.
Today it’s one of the most celebrated photo art galleries in Sweden. As a guest at Hotel Tylösand you have the privilege to enjoy rare masterpieces that can otherwise only be found on museums and art galleries around the globe.
