Leif Elggren is usually called Sweden's most famous underground artist. In Tierp, he has previously been seen in the Persbo sculpture park in Månkarbo with the sculpture Dormitory for the Dead (extended) ( 2021). In the exhibition, painting with only black and yellow colors is shown. The sharp opposition between yellow and black dissolves and new colors and shades are created.
