Christian Pontus Andersson was born in the small town Brattfors, county of Värmland, in Sweden.

Combining both high artistic and craftsmanship level, his work gained a lot of attention at the annual Spring exhibition, and led to his first acclaimed solo exhibition at Christian Larsen Gallery (Aerea). Andersson has also exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Stockholm, and participated in group exhibitions in Tokyo, Munich, Frankfurt, and Milan. The National Museum owns his 2007 sculpture Guard for Tears; he is also represented in the collection of the Röhsska Museum with two works. 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. As sources of inspiration, Andersson mentions Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, and his work also resembles that of Matthew Barney and Jeff Koons. (en)
