  • Cal Henrik Max Magnus Norman (born July 30, 1973) is a Swedish artist, painter, and sculptor. Norman was born in Sundsvall, Medelpad, he currently resides in Prague. He paints visions and dreamlike images as accurately as possible, which results in paintings with a photorealistic quality. His works are intended to spread virally among social networks on the Internet; his art and stunts often deal with everyday events spiced up with a touch of the absurd. A few examples of such works created for the Internet are the illustrated essay "The LED (minor) Artcrime Tutorial" and the Moose graffiti stunt, where the artist sneaks up on a wild moose and paints graffiti on it. His sculpture and plastic arts projects have received some exposure in Sweden, such as his art project that consisted of a woodpecker placed on a traffic camera on the E4 near Stockvik.In another of Max Magnus Norman's art projects the artist created an unknown (but huge) number of plastic monkeys, about 1 metres in length. One night in early May 2009 he put up these monkeys in different settings all over the small city Sundsvall. One monkey was riding a crocodile in the middle of the central stream Selångersån and one was placed upon a traffic light making it look like the monkey controlled the traffic, some monkeys were even placed under water. A few of these monkeys still remain, amongst other one flying 20 metres up in the air, holding a beer can above the intersection Köpmangatan-Thulegatan. In 2008, a statue of his, "Kuken ska ha sitt," which includes a 30 cm. long penis, caused some local outcry which was noticed by the Swedish press: the "obscene sculpture" drew notice and commentary from the two largest Swedish papers, Aftonbladet and Expressen. As it happened, Norman's sculpture coincided with a few other "phallic" Swedish works of art that year, including a full-frontal nude Jesus; the fact that Norman's sculpture was provided with a warning for the young enhanced its reputation, as well as that of the artist.

  • Cal Henrik Max Magnus Norman, född 30 juli 1973 i Sundsvall, är en svensk gatukonstnär, målare och skulptör. Max Magnus Norman målar syner och visioner, bilder som dyker upp framför ögonen under meditativa tillstånd eller i drömmar. Dessa syner återger han så exakt som möjligt. Han skulpterar även satiriska figurer och scener. I ett av Max Magnus Normans mer kända konstprojekt skapade han ett antal omkring en meter höga apor i plast. Dessa apor satte han sedan under en natt i maj 2009 upp över hela Sundsvall, bland andra en ridande på en krokodil i Selångersån och en på ett trafikljus. En del av dessa apor kan ses än i dag[när?], till exempel en som flyger med en ölburk i handen cirka 20 meter över korsningen Köpmangatan/Thulegatan. Projektet efterföljdes 2011 av en liknande uppsättning av katter i Stockholm. (sv)
