Christian Pontus Andersson (born 1977) is a Swedish artist and sculptor, living in Södermalm, Stockholm.
Christian Pontus Andersson was born in the small town of Brattfors, county of Värmland, in Sweden.
During his studies, he opened a ceramic workshop in the Chinese “porcelain capital” of Jingdezhen where he produced his master's degree project, the large-scale baroque series Cry Me the Sorrows (2007).
[7] The work of Christian Pontus Andersson balances between kitsch and stringent form, creating a contrast between the extravagant homoerotic appearances of the figures and the fragile material of which they are made.
[3] As sources of inspiration, Andersson mentions Czech artist Alphonse Mucha,[2] and his work also resembles that of Matthew Barney and Jeff Koons.
