Artist

Sten eklund, Swedish painter and ilustrator. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts between 1966-71. He is known for his work with the fictional 19th-century botanist J.M.G. Paléen and Kullahuset's Secrets, which features 53 hand-colored copper engravings with matching sculptures. The visual narrative is a peculiar art project. Early in his career, Eklund was fascinated with the incomprehensible devices and constructions which he painted on glass or canvas. In watercolor or gouache, he has, in the spirit of Duchamp, created strange battle scenes and other depictions populated by mechanical figures.
