Erik Johansson, a Swedish artist, is an amazing photographer who has recently produced art works inspired by cars. Taking the subjects from everyday life and focusing on cars in particular, Johansson gives a new image of reality mixed with a touch of surrealism.
Self-taught photographer and artist Erik Johansson is causing a stir with his ‘illusion’ photographs. These mind-bending images take everyday cars, roads and transport as subjects but transform and challenge reality in all kinds of amazing ways…
The 27-year-old Swede sums up his work as ‘Surreal ideas realised in a realistic way with a touch of humour’. His mixture of graphics and imagery, combined with heavy use of digital image manipulation, creates a unique and sometimes mind-boggling effect.
Johansson’s fascination with travel and roads has led him to produce a whole series of works which deal with the patterns and everyday use of transportation.
