Bror Jesper’s voice feels less like “emerging” and more like inevitable. There is a rare clarity in his practice. Moving fluidly between painting, film, and installation, he approaches identity not as something fixed, but as urgent, fragile, and unfolding. His work gives form to questions many shy away from, revealing tension, vulnerability, and possibility.Growing up in the small village of Bjursås in Dalarna, Jesper experienced a world that was both intimate and constrained, where belonging and isolation existed side by side. From that tension emerges art that insists on expanding language and inventing new ways of being seen and understood. Now, on the world stage, he continues his search, his curiosity about identity, relationships, and the systems that shape our lives.

Jesper transforms personal restlessness and the search for identity into a universal mirror. His works open cracks in dominant narratives, offering glimpses of alternative selves, other possibilities, and a freedom that asks for no permission.At HAS, we show Bror Jesper because his practice embodies exactly what the space was created for: artists who challenge norms, provoke dialogue, and expand the boundaries of contemporary art. Here, Jesper presents new works alongside previous statement pieces, continuing his exploration of identity, form, and perception. Singular, uncompromising, and unmistakable, his practice is less about answers than about the courage to ask questions most avoid. It is this pursuit, fierce, vulnerable, radiant, that makes his art feel inevitable.
