Stig Knutsson
Mixed media on paper: The erotic relation between woman and man

Artist statement:
I'm interested in the fragile side of the erotic relation between woman and man, here expressed in an abstract manner. Simplicity and reduction of input are my lodestars. Young children’s own drawings have profoundly inspired my work.

Opening Reception: Sat. March 3, 12-4 pm
Mon-Fri 12-6 pm, Sat-Sun 12-4 pm
