ISSUES

ISSUES is pleased to present Georg Nordmark's solo exhibition Housebroken. After participating in group exhibitions and art fairs internationally and locally, it is not only his first gallery solo show in Stockholm, it is also the first time he shows drawings. The eight framed drawings on display are a series of pen and wash portraits referencing contemporary art and popular culture through the lens of caricature, or more specifically: drawing as a satirical tradition and iconoclastic tool/impulse. Alongside, encircled by the drawings, is one sculpture continuing Georg’s known interest in the human–animal relationship. Together, the drawings and sculpture form a tragic-comical whole, engrossed in the ambiguities of agency and control.
