Mats Gustafson
(Swedish, born 1951)
Biography
Mats Gustafson is a Swedish artist and fashion illustrator. In his watercolors and paper cut outs, his hallmark style is the simple use of silhouette shapes and muted palettes. His subtle, elegant works can be seen in advertisements and articles for Tiffany & Co., Vogue, and The New Yorker, though most popularly for Dior. In addition to his drawings of archival Dior designs—a collaboration that began in 2013—Gustafson has exhibited internationally in galleries. Born in 1951 in Mjölby, Sweden, he studied at the University College of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm and the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts before moving to New York. Before reinvigorating the art of fashion illustration, Gustafson worked in stage design. His works are in the collections of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Roosmuseum in Malmö, and the Nordic Watercolor Museum in Skärhamn, Sweden, among others. The artist lives and works in New York, NY.
