CARL MARTINSON; Pine Trees and Still Life
Carl Martinson (b. 1991) grew up on the not-quite-an-island of Ekerö, just outside Stockholm. In his twenties, he moved to Gothenburg to study furniture design at HDK-Valand. He has since returned to Stockholm, where he is pursuing a master’s degree in spatial design at Konstfack.
Martinson began working with intarsia two years ago and has since developed a distinctive style that blends naive figurative imagery with large, abstract landscapes. His intarsia works are often incorporated into furniture, transforming flat images into three-dimensional objects.
