Oskar Wikström
< BACK
I’m a Gothenburg based printmaker and artist from Stockholm, mainly working with artists’ books and other types of low edition publications. To a wide extent, my practice consists of exploring how technique, format and materials affect the book as an interactive art object. I also have a special interest in imprints, creases, wear and stains as visual elements and encapsulators of a movement, touch or force – not least in relation to books in particular.
