Marcus Eek (b. 1968) is a Swedish painter living in Berlin. Eek graduated from Stockholm’s Royal University College of Fine Art (KKH, Kungliga Konsthögskolan) in 1997. Eek’s paintings move on the border of the figurative and the abstract. Some elements may be recognizable,and the paintings are visually abundant, but still maintain a sensitive lyricism. Eek’s production is part of the new coming of Scandinavian painting in the late 1990s when the style and methods were broken free.
