Beschreibung:
Stockholm-based artist PG Thelander (1936) is a unique figure in the contemporary art world.00In the 1970s, his paintings, drawings and etchings seemed to spring directly from a sharp critical observation, which continuously gained new surprising aspects from nature and reality. In the following decade, against the rigid formalism and technical neatness of the Stockholm art scene he launched a new exhilarating freedom, a freedom allowing a reckless play with proportions of reality, filled with a mysterious figurative glow and fantastic distortions. For over fifty years, the disaster of the conditio humana has lured behind his enigmatic figures, signs and scripts. His formal vocabulary is fluid, elusive and in a perennial state of transition, while the line between sarcastic realism and poetic symbolism remains blurred.00'Made with No Loss of Time' offers a first comprehensive survey of PG Thelander?s versatile and extensive oeuvre from the early 1960s to the present day. The book is structured around five sections of images (Paintings; Prints; Works on Paper; Sculptures; Medals) organized in chronological order that document Thelander?s evolution during the last five decades
