Bjorn Dolva is a keen observer of life. The mundane and the ordinary become platforms on which Dolva's diverse characters act out whimsical and often ironic narratives. In this work, a seemingly light-hearted view of a suburban landscape is crammed full of people. Through intentional distortion of perspective and scale, he creates a sense play, whilst underneath layers a serious comment on present day society with all its frills.
