People suspended in moments of transient stillness and introspection – illustrations full of emotive beauty by Peter GEHRMAN c/o AGENT MOLLY & CO
Peter Gehrman is an illustrator and interior architect based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He was born in 1990 in the countryside in the south and received his BFA from the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. After graduating, he worked as an interior designer before starting to work full-time as a professional illustrator.
In his soft, almost airbrushed style, he often explores topics such as relationships, memories and our inner worlds. Within the scenes depicted in Peters illustrations, we encounter people suspended in moments of transient stillness and introspection, often surrounded by a world which is not standing still – leaves and petals flying turbulently around them as if in a storm, within the sharp lines of interiors and buildings.
“Peter’s experience as an interior designer has a clear impact on his illustrations. Even if buildings don’t appear in his artwork themselves, his use of lines, curves, light and shadow carefully guides the viewer’s gaze on a journey across the image, telling a story or setting a mood without making them consciously aware of their role. There is a soft, airbrushed quality to his colorand a distinctive use of soft focus gives many of his pieces a dreamlike quality. The figures in his compositions are often obscured or left blank, but the slightest details of their posture and motion tell an impactful story all on their on own.” Brandon Bogajewicz, Vinyl Moon.
Peter works mainly as an editorial illustrator, and among his clients are the Southern Poverty Law Center, Architectural Digest Germany and the Swedish psychology magazine Modern Psykologi, but also commercial clients such as the kimono company Chiso Kyoto.
