Oversized rotten fruits, dying flowers and displaced, plagued animals are frequent subjects in Roland Persson's art.
This lavishly illustrated book traces the Swedish artist's career over twenty years from 1988-2018.
Although the artist claimes there is no diffence between the two, the book is divided into two parts; public work and private. Roland Persson moves with ease in both areas, represented as he is in many museums and private collections.
Roland Persson's material of choice is silicone. He also favours huge installations and sculptures of nature in decay. Oversized rotten fruits, dying flowers and displaced, plagued animals are frequent subjects.
Included are a number of drawings, a conversation between Mika Hannula and the artist, followed by two texts by professor Katarina Wadstein Macleod and writer Ola Nilsson
