Norwegian-born painter Kjell Torriset (born 1950) combines fragmented figuration--primarily of nudes--with abstract signs, geometric shapes and words, dispersing them across a groundless backdrop to explore a range of literary, philosophical and art historical themes. This volume provides an overview of his work from the past ten years.
