“The muted tones, strong lines and graphical shapes Tommervik creates are strongly reminiscent of the figures and still lifes pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque at the turn of the 20th Century.” – Wired

Cards on the table, we never really understood Cubism as an artistic movement. We love staring at a well painted picture of a naked girl in a gallery as much as the next guy, but when Picasso started getting all geometric with the fun bags we stopped paying attention. Don’t get us wrong, we totally respect his contribution and work to further Cubism, but we like the color periods and the sculpture much more. Tommervik, on the other hand, is cubism with enough pop culture to keep our (admittedly short) attention spans in check. – coolmaterial.com
