Lead creative for a project during Stockholm Art Week with artist Mark Frygell, Mack Art Foundation in New York, gallery Andréhn-Schiptjenko and A Day's March.

What if a garment could unsettle as much as it could clothe? As Stockholm Art Week unfolded across the city, Swedish painter Mark Frygell and A Day's March presented Mutations — a limited-edition capsule that invites just that kind of provocation. The collection was presented by A Day's March and Mack Art Foundation in New York.

Known for his expressive, often darkly comic approach to figurative painting, Frygell works across drawing, still life, and landscape to explore the blurred boundaries between the beautiful and the grotesque.

The collaboration comprises approximately 35 one-off pieces — hoodies, t-shirts, and caps from A Day's March's existing collection — hand-painted by Frygell using textile pigment. Each piece, transformed through brushwork and intuition, lives somewhere between clothing and art, utility and expression.

"They're mutants," Frygell says. "Somewhere between clothing and drawing, between something to wear and something to look at. A bit grotesque, a bit beautiful."

Supported by the Mack Art Foundation in New York and the Stockholm gallery Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Mutations occupies a rare space: high-concept but tactile, disruptive yet grounded in the everyday.
