Cubist Pooh Bear Painting by Tommervik, Oil on Canvas (2011)
The Cubist Pooh Bear Painting suggests a connection between childhood and adulthood. Its fragmented form invites viewers to reflect on how a simple, familiar character like Pooh can evoke memories of youth, while also hinting at the complexities and changes that come with growing up.
Tommervik is traditionally trained in classical painting and drawing. Elements from Cubism, Art Deco, and Avant-Garde Art are depicted in his work.
Tommervik’s work has been featured in many publications such as Wired, Vanity Fair, Vogue, New Yorker, Cool Material, Thrillist, and Boing Boing. In addition, his work has been represented in featured films.
Tommervik’s Art Vader Painting featured in a new collectors edition from Conde Nast is releasing today, “The Epic Saga: The True Stories behind the Star Wars Saga.”
“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.co.uk
