SARA-VIDE ERICSON

Images courtesy of Galleri Magnus Karlsson, Stockholm Riding She Wolf Liar Vice: Is your Liar also about relationships?
Sara-Vide Ericson: Yeah, because then it’d look like you really are lying.
And baring your neck and stomach to someone is showing yourself weak and vulnerable, right? Like animals do?
Riding These paintings are really good, I’m sure the exhibition will be a success. Are you nervous?
Are you scared no one will come to the opening? 
That’d be worse, of course.
THE HANDS (LIAR), 2010. Oil on panel, 46×36 cm. Are the people in the paintings anyone in particular? 
Like David Hockney? I saw this documentary about him the other day and thought, “his paintings are so ordinary, like the works of a middle-aged culture hag on a beach stroll.” Like, how ordinary can you allow yourself to get?
Maybe you can try both?
Um, you lost me there.
Photographs Sara took in her studio, which she painted LIAR IV and LIAR VII from. Oh yeah, he has no feet! That’s funny. Maybe they’ll buy it for their office. Does it matter to you who buys your paintings?
Are you easily separated from them?
Can you understand if people can’t really see what you mean?
But you have a pretty special clothing style in your paintings?
