A new limited edition print by Joakim Ojanen pulls out the inner child within us all. 

The dance we dance when we are together showcases the Swedish artist’s signature cartoon-like figures entangled in a playful yet introspective embrace. The work embodies his ongoing exploration of emotion and identity, where humour and melancholy coexist in perfect balance. Complete with elastic limbs and mischievous faces, these childlike creatures distill the delicate tension between innocence and vulnerability that defines Joakim’s practice.

This signed edition was crafted at our specialist fine art print studio, Make-Ready, in close collaboration with the artist to preserve the vivacity and warmth of his original painting.

Joakim Ojanen9 collaborationsOjanen’s creatures are surreal and deeply human at the same time. Each has a life of its own made up of droopy, worm-like expressions, bugged eyes, and odd flappy growths. Depicted across sculpture, painting and drawing, Ojanen uses a palette of pastel hues occasionally punctured by bursts of bright colour. The works contribute to the eclectic international resurgence of ceramics in contemporary art, from Grayson Perry to Yun Hee Lee. The works are inspired by DIY zine culture, as well as popular iconic cartoons like Garfield and Futurama. This sense of play runs throughout Ojanen’s practice, exploring the peculiar nature of the human condition.
