Mats Gustafson
Born in Sweden in 1951, Mats Gustafson is artist who has been based in New York since the late 1970s and is active around the globe. He has worked on a number of magazines and brand visuals for names such as “Vogue,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “Visionnaire,” “Dior,” “Hermes,” “Yohji Yamamoto,” “Comme des Garçons,” and “Estnation.” Alongside his fashion illustrations, Gustafson has maintained a focus on art and the pursuit of themes such as nature and the nude. This second exhibition at MA2 Gallery will present around 20 works comprised of watercolor paintings and ink drawings of nudes made in the late 1980s and thereafter. As HIV began to spread in the early 1980s, there was little awareness of AIDS, and many lives were lost while much prejudice prevailed. Gustafson, who was doing fashion-related work in New York at the time, began drawing nudes to in order to focus consciousness on the body during this tumultuous period.
