“Players of Strange, Meaningless Games ~ The Art of Hawk Alfredson”                By Hector Gramme: “The surrealist painter Hawk Alfredson made a name for himself in Sweden before moving to the United States towards the end of the 1990′s. His highly detailed and exquisitely painted canvases are inspired both by the Old Masters and by the Surrealism of the 20th century, creating a highly      original and always bewildering fantastic world. The highly productive Alfredson has not mellowed with age, but continues to shock and surprise with every new painting. “Chelsea on the Rocks”, directed by Abel Ferrara in 2008, is a documentary about the Hotel Chelsea in New York City which features Hawk speaking candidly on his shocking experiences while living and painting at the legendary hotel. Other major films to include Hawk’s original artwork include: “Ocean’s 13″, “Mystery Men”, and “I Am Legend”. 

Mr. Alfredson currently lives and works in New York City.

“Players of Strange, Meaningless Games” contains 70 of Alfredson’s weird and bizarre paintings from the period 1991-2014, together with texts written by Hector Gramme.

“What we really are is a community of mind, knitted together by codes and symbols, intuitions, aspirations, histories, hopes — the invisible world of the human experience is far more real to us than the visible world, which is little more than a kind of stage or screen on which we move." 

~ Terence McKenna
