Erik-Mark Sandberg works are characterized by perfection and a fascination in persons, animals and their significance. In the exhibition Wunderkammer two portraits is presented showing an over weighted little girl and a boy, both children about the age of 7-13 years old, and both of them with abundant hirsuteness, which makes it hard to distinguish any contours or facial features. Sandberg gives the characters and objects a new context and a new definition and makes it difficult to distinguish the fiction from the reality.
