Jacob Dahlgren continuously experiments with different types of materials. He often works with ready made-products.  The fact that many industrial products are designed in a highly aesthetical fashion makes them perfect in an artwork. Sandpaper comes in many colours, depending on grit size, and use. Dahlgrens interest in modernist thoughts and forms are made evident in his Sandpaper-works.  These paintings include both new and used sandpaper, which gives each part a special finish.  The works measure 23 x 28 cm, which equals a whole sheet of sandpaper. The compositions are kept simple, and the types of sandpaper vary. Some parts are made of sandpaper made for grinding machines, and these sandpapers come in different shapes. Dahlgren also uses the different grit sizes to create dynamic compositions.  The end result is a tactile series of paintings. The dust caught in the grit resembles light strokes of paint; the solidness of the geometrical shapes is loosened by this effect.
