Sculpture "Rygg mot rygg"

"Rygg mot rygg" (Back-to-Back) by Liv Due

The sculpture was exhibited during the sculpture exhibition "Hake and Due in the Centre" in Arvika in 2006 and was then acquired by Arvika Municipality.

When observing the sculpture "Back-to-Back", one can discern two figures suggested in the material and form. On closer inspection, different types of stone can be seen in the two figures, which reinforces the impression of duality. On both sides of the figures are elements shaped from wood that resemble carrying chairs or litters.
