Trained in classical traditional painting, Zetterstrand is inspired by the video games’ premise of offering a different world where anything is possible, yet it is in many ways an incomplete illusion prone to shattering. In Zetterstrand’s painting, The game, the gamer is depicted as real and outside the game, but in the nature of the painting he is ultimately unreal. In this way, Zetterstrand makes the viewer question his perceived realities.
