Andreas Englund
Andreas Englund originally hails from Falun, Sweden, but is currently based out of Stockholm. Englund creates an absolutely hilarious series of oil on canvas paintings of a beloved superhero on the wrong side of 40 just trying to get by in his twilight years. We’ll all see to that day ourselves at one point in our lives. None of us live forever. Who wants too?
“Humour can be the carrier of messages that are otherwise hard to convey. For me, it liberates my thoughts and ideas from pretentiousness while at the same time it opens doors to new routes and angles.”






































This is brilliant!

What a brilliant illustration to prove that nothing stays the same, even superman! Fantastisk verk, mer om detta!
The banquet one actually made me wince. I guess I’m old enough. :/

Don’t stop.
It is humourus and makes us realise that none are immortal Hahaha!!
I wish I could tell Andreas how hard I laughed, but he appears to offer no contact info. on his site. Of course he is a tremendous painter, but his crazed sense of humor supercedes all! THANKS and I hope to see more.

omg – love it!!!!
Hey 40 is not old
My favorite is the one with the camera.
Nice paintings. I still want to live forever though. What most people fear is not living forever, but the body damage that comes with older age and prevents them from doing what they want.
Beyond compare. Original, subtle humour and excellent technique, wonderful.
LOL! Wonderful concept for a series of paintings! Love the portrait of him in the chair, that one says it all. Nicely done!
