MORTEN ANDREAS SVENSSON

INANIMATE DEATH

A travelling tattooer and artist based in Oslo, Norway, Morty communicates his stellar talent not only on skin but through digital and traditional methods.
Completely self-taught, his distinctive style is grim and intensely dark, yet at times communicates a sense of capricious whimsy and mischief while exploring themes of extreme apathy and abject nihilism.
‘Inanimate Death’ gives us a glimpse into the futility of existence and our own mortality while capturing our imaginations through a fascinatingly charismatic depravity.
Morty’s work beautifully communicates an innate melancholy and darkness which lies in all of us making ‘Inanimate Death’ a perfect addition to our 2022 exhibition programme.

His work is featured in two museums in France and Italy and in two galleries in the USA and his first artbook  was published in 2016 by Cyclic Press.
