Carl Hammoud (born 3 April 1976) is a Swedish artist. He was educated at the Valand Academy in Gothenburg and primarily works as a painter. Many of his paintings depict sterile interior environments such as offices and libraries, which are given a timeless and sometimes fantastical quality. [1]

In 2012 he received Åke Andréns konstnärsstipendium, which with a prize sum of 500,000 kronor is Sweden's most valuable art prize. [2]

His paintings of piles of chairs inspired an installation piece in the 2017 film The Square , which satirizes the art world. [3]
