Biography

Carl Hammoud, born in 1976, lives and works in Stockholm. He studied at the Valand Academy of Fine Arts in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 1999 to 2004 and has since exhibited at galleries and museums in Europe, Asia and the United States. Hammoud received the Åke Andrén Foundation Scholarship in 2012 and the Stenastiftelsen Cultural Scholarship in 2020. The Schumpeter Room at Stockholm School of Economics, a classroom with permanently installed paintings, a site specific printed linen wallpaper and complete colour coordination of walls and furniture by Carl Hammoud, was inaugurated in 2024. His works are included in the collections of Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Magasin III Museum for Contemporary Art, Stockholm, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Malmö Art Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Gävleborg County Museum, The British Museum, London, United Kingdom, and The Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, USA. Since 2019, he has been a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, Sweden.

 

Carl Hammoud’s works are characterized by concentrated observation and a feverish preoccupation with details and fragments. The paintings zoom in and out, moving among remnants and ruins of our time. In a wider perspective, Carl Hammoud’s work is also about demarcation, examining the shift between memory and fiction, as well as questioning structures that define the fragile conditions of humans and civilization.

Carl Hammoud, f. 1976, bor och arbetar i Stockholm. Han är utbildad på Konsthögskolan Valand i Göteborg 1999–2004 och har sedan dess visats på gallerier och museer i Europa, Asien och USA. Hammoud erhöll Åke Andrén Stiftelsens stipendium 2012 och Stenastiftelsens kulturstipendium 2020. 2024 invigdes den permanenta gestaltningen The Schumpeter Room av Carl Hammoud på Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Hans verk finns i samlingarna på Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Magasin III Museum for Contemporary Art, Göteborgs konstmuseum, Malmö Konstmuseum, Eskilstuna Konstmuseum, Länsmuseet Gävleborg, The British Museum, London, Storbritannien och The Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, USA. Sedan 2019 är han ledamot av Kungl. Akademien för de fria konsterna. 

 

Carl Hammouds arbeten kännetecknas av koncentrerad iakttagelse och febrigt flimrande upptagenhet vid detaljer och fragment. Målningarna zoomar in och ut, rör sig bland nutidens lämningar och ruiner. I ett större perspektiv handlar Carl Hammouds verk också om gränsdragningar, att undersöka glidningen mellan minne och fiktion.
