More is not Less
There is a thing called overworking something, that through one's stubbornness one would have done something to the point that it is no longer what it intended.
I have worked in different ways with patterns and environments in my painting. And in the past, I have always chosen to use clean fields to create a balance in the image, now I wanted to see if I could achieve the same balance even if I excluded the clean fields.
The classic and timeless patterns and designs I have chosen to work with are for me a counterpoint to the wear and tear culture, I choose to see this as a tribute to something that is not only for today but that bridges generations.

A word from Pontus Klingspor
As I've had the great opportunity to follow Bobo's working process closely for the last years I get more and more impressed - his dedication to every piece of art, his meticulous research of motives, motions and colours and his close relationship to his work - I see as the key to his success.
The response to his art is imidiate and the paintings evoke acquisitiveness. The audience always wants more! Bobos’ followers and collectors are very dedicated and have been faithful through out the years. Beside the chimpanzees the colours are his signum - always the air of being updated, always on spot and in bold combinations.
Humanity and a warm meeting of nature - feelings that are recognizable around the globe. The great response and the fact that the art world is now showing a great interest in his work is fantastic and the journey has just started!
