Leo Park (b. 1980) and Anton Alvarez (b. 1980) are both based in Stockholm and represent the dynamism of the contemporary Swedish art scene. Working in oil, Park paints large scale works which blur the line between abstraction and figuration. Alvarez fuses cutting edge technology with the traditional medium of clay to create beautiful sculptural forms. Taking inspiration from each others’ practices they have created a harmonious body of work, celebrating their unique skills, colour palettes and forms. The title of the exhibition, Embodiment, encapsulates both the theme of the work, but also the collaborative process between Alvarez and Park.
