Based on a book cover of an inflammatory 1960s tome with an identical title, the red splotches of paint which merge with a white background cleared from information brings out memories of abandoned human traces.
The human body is a continuous motif in the work by Einarsson as the site where repression becomes a lived reality and is represented in a series of new paintings. Einarsson's works are direct and uncompromising in their interpretation of the social dichotomies of society. These are brought into play through two kinds of images: associative images and images that are being decontextualized and converted into paintings.Exhibitions
