Mårten Medbo "Strange Love"

Strange Love revolves around the ultimate symbol of human cruelty – the atomic bomb – and all works can be seen as studies of the bomb’s visual expression. Rendered in grayscale, the mushroom clouds and towering smoke pillars evoke the media coverage from the Cold War era.

Mårten Medbo (b. 1964) works in Katrineholm. He is educated at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, and at Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, and holds a PhD in applied art from HDK-Valand, Gothenburg.
