Ulrica Hydman Vallien. A Paradise Attack

Unique among Swedish designers and artists, Ulrica Hydman Vallien - whose glass designs are synonymous with the huge commercial success of Kosta Boda - has made her supremely personal style her trademark. This monograph shows a master artist, now in her seventies, who has always had one foot in product design, and one in fine art. She has been creating vigorous, color-soaked images and symbols, full of whimsy and inspiration, for half a century now. In the bright pages of A Paradise Attack, we step into the artist´s idiosyncratic pictorial world through the medium of ceramics, painting and glass.
