Eric Magassa (b. 1972) is an artist based in Gothenburg, Sweden, whose practice encompasses collage, painting, photography and video – often combined in multifaced, large[1]scale installations. His distinctive colourful compositions evolve around decolonial narratives, identity, place and belonging. By processing different archives and unfolding visual patterns in frequently neglected spaces, he explores modes of looking and thinking that in many ways disrupt the narrow aesthetics of the canonised white cube.

Magassa studied at Central Saint Martins in London, and the Art Students League of New York. He has exhibited widely, including at institutions like Malmö Konsthall (2023), Tensta Konsthall (2021–22) and Moderna Museet Stockholm (2018), as well as biennials like the Gwangju Biennale (2024), Borås Art Biennial (2024) and Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA [2019])
