Description

This book is a comprehensive collection of the artworks created by Oslo's legendary studio, Guttestreker. Known for their distinctive fusion of surrealism, symbolism, and intricate line work, the artists of Guttestreker craft visually rich and thought-provoking illustrations that invite viewers into a world of hidden meanings and layered narratives. Each piece is deeply rooted in historical events, scientific discoveries, and academic literature, offering a compelling visual interpretation of complex ideas.

Author Bio

The artist duo, Guttestreker, consisting of Petter Malterud Grndahl and Christoffer Kroge Christensen, has collaborated since a late night drawing session in the fall of 2015. Their collective artistic vision quickly materialised and has since made them a household name in the Norwegian capital. While neither of them having a formal artistic education has given them a non-traditional approach to art, and their method and creative process is anchored in what they refer to as Illustrated Philosophy.
