JENS MALMGREN I create.

Hourglass with impossible frame

This is one of the first illusionistic drawings that I find in my stash of old drawings. This drawing is made in 1983. In Sweden, we had Oscar Reutersvärds drawings on stamps. I suppose that was the initial inspiration for trying to make these "jokes".

Little did I know that I would learn more about the Dutch illusionistic artist M. C. Escher and also that for some people am I most known for my illusionistic paintings.

Oh well... Maybe this blogging can make my other work more known as well. What you see here is an hourglass with an impossible frame.

 

I moved from Sweden to The Netherlands in 1995.

Here on this site, you find my creations because that is what I do. I create.
