About

Göran Sveningzon (signature GSZON) is an artist based in Bohuslän on Sweden’s west coast.

Since the late-1990s, abstraction has been at the core of his artistic practice. His technique is both exploratory and intuitive, where surface and content merge into gestural foundations.

Alongside his visual art practice, he works with music through his instrumental solo project LYROTRON.
