Vår’s Karl Grandin is exhibiting, together with Anne Grandin and Karin Gille, at Bastard Gallery in Stockholm between the 12th – 21st December.
In the installation ’Superpowers of Ten’ Karl has been working on the concept abstraction. The image is broken down and stylized into a logical, geometrical raster. Then he turns the process inside out and builds it up again. The parts appear together as a chaotic cosmos, but with a new clearness.
