GSZON
Göran Sveningzon (signature GSZON). Contemporary artist, born 1964 in Källeryd parish, Sweden.
Göran Sveningzon's painting is characterized by both chance and planned composition. With a personal color scale, he builds contrasts between spontaneous gestures and sign-like forms.
His interest in the abstract evolved during basic education years in the 80s in parallel with solo exhibitions in cafes and smaller galleries. Trough continued culture studies at university, historical references came to influence his work with colours. In particular Byzantine mosaic art which became an inspiration for his public wall decorations during the 90s.
After several years in the graphic industry, he resumed academic studies in art and started working with digital music. He received a bachelor's degree 2020 and became a member of KRO (Swedish Artists' Association) in 2022.
