Martin Wickström (SE)
Martin Wickström is one of Sweden’s most prominent contemporary artists. Throughout his oeuvre, psychoanalysis and semiotics have met at the intersection between private life and use of documentary format. While fragments of the self fuse with the documentary, chosen subjects emerge from an array of spheres. They range from the political arena to colourful and shimmering landscapes, and everything in between. A consistent feature of his work is the fragmented depiction of cityscapes - stagnant and seductive – and their mixing with pop culture symbols.
Martin Wickström (b. 1957, Finspång; SE) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. He studied at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm (1982 – 1987). His works are represented in several private and public collections such as Skövde Konstmuseum (SE), Norrköpings Konstmuseum (SE), Göteborgs Konstmuseum (SE), Fredrik Roos Nordiska Samling (SE) and Moderna Museet (SE).
