More information
Sten Eklund was a Swedish painter and graphic artist. Educated in 1966-1971 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm.

In watercolor or gouache, in Marcel Duchamp's spirit and tradition, he has reproduced remarkable battalion paintings and other combat scenes, populated with figures built of Lego pieces.
