Leif Elggren

Leif Elggren is a Swedish artist born in 1950 who lives and works in Stockholm.

Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren has become one of the most consistently surprising conceptual artists to work in the combined worlds of audio and visual. A writer, visual artist, stage performer, and composer, he has many albums to his credit, solo and with the Sons of God, on labels such as Ash International, Touch, Radium, and his own Firework Edition.

His wide-ranging and prolific body of art often involves dreams and subtle absurdities, social hierarchies turned upside-down, hidden actions and events taking on the quality of icons.
