About the BURN series

Raw pencil power

Alexander Lidström, the artist behind BURN

Known for storytelling through comic coloring, Alexander Lidström now ventures into the hyper-detailed world of graphite. In BURN he explores endless variations on the phoenix: rebirth, raw pencil power and pure funk.

It's a chance to discover (or rediscover) graphite on paper, the underdog of fine art.

Based in Kiruna, Sweden, Alexander has over ten years in the comics industry and has colored clients’ pages since 2015. He is also the creator of The Usual Jim. BURN rose from the ashes of a shelved comic project of his about a terrifying bird creature. When the comic died, the phoenix seemingly took on a life of its own. Each piece is drawn in graphite, mostly with three 0.3 mm pencils of different lead hardness, plus regular pencils. A piece takes days, if not weeks, and some are shelved for months, even years, while he decides how best to finish them.

“The prices are sky-high on purpose: they keep the collection undivided, and I’m proud to show it whole. Of course, nearly everything has a price… but an exhibition, a sponsorship, or a rental or three would suit me even better!”
