To look at a work by Jockum Nordström is to walk into another time period. The pictures are secretive, filled with humour, and often with an erotic touch. His work is being exhibited in the most prestigious galleries internationally, David Zwirner in New York is just one of them. One work was illustrated on the cover of The Armory Show catalogue recently.
