Additional texteExhibition text: Mikael Jansson’s portrait of Max Martin is the 2024 Portrait of Honour to the Swedish National Portrait Gallery. Martin wears a T-shirt with a portrait of Prince, one of his major influences. But the design on the T-shirt is also part of the composition. Martin’s hands – which appear to be moving to music – interact with Prince’s hand. While Martin has his eyes closed, Prince is looking at the viewer with one eye.
