I Mentioned Maidstone Prison,

which brought to mind convicts in striped shirts,

 and here are a few,

 that look like they are jumping up,

 or down depending on your perspective, 

 they are by Norway-born, Berlin-based artist Anders Gjennestad, who works as STRØK,

 Gjennestad incorporates shadows for each figure that disrupt the viewer’s perspective, leaving one to wonder if the artist’s subjects are falling up or touching down. Most recently, the artist participated in Aberdeen, Scotland’s international Nuart festival,

in addition to his large-scale outdoor pieces, Gjennestad also creates figural works that fit inside galleries, often using rusted metal surfaces and dilapidated wood doors as his canvas, the artist’s forthcoming solo show will open May 10th at Galerie Mathgoth in Paris, and runs until July 9, 2019, you can see more of Gjennestad’s work and travels on  Facebook and Instagram, and find select prints in his online store,
