Jockum Nordström - Drawings 1992-2006 - Nieves 2006
Jockum Nordstrom (1963) was born and lives in Stockholm, where he makes drawings of ships, tiny dioramas of cities, and men in uncomfortable suits, all rendered in a deliberately crude folk-art style. His compositions are spatially dimensionless, but the figures that populate his odd, rickety landscapes are vividly – even lewdly – robust, the rich mysteries of their private lives pooling suggestively in the impossibly steep and cavernous rooms through which they move.
His enigmatic scenes, rendered in drawings and mixed-media pieces in watercolour, gouache, and collage, seem at once old-fashioned and modern. Lucas Cranach and James Ensor are longstanding influences, as are folk art and Surrealism.
The idea behind Jockum’s first Nieves collaboration was to put together a chronological collection of both known and unseen drawings of its prolific production from 1992 to 2006.
