‘THE STRONGEST OF THE STRANGE’

Traveling. Looking for the weird among us. Visiting with the strange. Coincidental encounters, mostly far from home. Eating boiled salami. Thinking about a poem by Bukowski: The Strongest of the Strange.

The currently exhibited series of sketches, photos and large drawings by Thomas Pålsson at VÆG Gallery – and an accompanying book – are entitled The Strongest of the Strange. The work is a compilation of visual fragments and fabulations created over a period of 3 years to ask very basic questions about life and it’s implications – snapshot-like slices of a thought process – the primary medium being a small black pen and paper.
