"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads..."
For today's artist I picked Mattias Adolfsson. This artist
from Sweden is responsible for making my most favorite album artwork I've laid
eyes upon. Mr. Adolfsson made four different works of art for the band
"Dance Gavin Dance" who, much like the work, is a mixture of very complex,
detailed elements and other things that just come from left field. Adolfsson
pays very close attention to detail and making works that defy gravity and
perception. Most notable are his works dealing with buildings and how he
incorporates housing structures into places they
don’t belong such as a 747
plane or, for the Star Wars fans out there, the Death Star. His playful take on
everyday life can almost play as a satire on society where in one of the
paintings animals are looking at one lone human like he is an exhibit at a zoo
or where animals are driving flying cars and humans are flying on animals. I
highly recommend looking at his work and giving the band a listen and just see
how well both elements work together.
All works Belong to Mattias Adolfsson.
