Kevin Strandberg (Bloomington, IL) is a retired art professor from the Ames School of Art, Illinois Wesleyan University, and is now A full-time working artist.

Using black and white negatives of graffiti and medieval fresco imagery, taken through the years in Barcelona, Spain, Strandberg produces high contrast silkscreens. These screens are then used to dry-sift glass powder onto glass sheets and fired in a kiln. The resulting pieces are then mounted in sculptural frames. Strandberg considers these fused-glass superimpositions to be modern “icons,” using snippets of modern and ancient wall drawings.
