About the work
Madonna brings colour and constructed form together in painted metal. Its title carries a longstanding association with images of motherhood, while the material gives the work a distinct sculptural presence. The object belongs to Bengt Rosenström’s exploration of the relationship between surface, structure and colour, which extends across sculpture and furniture.
About the artist
Bengt Rosenström is a Swedish artist working across sculpture, painted reliefs, mobiles and furniture. His practice brings constructed forms into contact with colour and decorative surfaces.
