ICONS & GOLD
Painting icons is contemplative.
From the arduous process of finding the right kind
of wood, priming, sanding several rounds and laying
gold leaf -to spending countless hours painting details.
It takes time, patience and concentration.
The icons have played a dramatic role
over the centuries, but also been admired for their
beauty and have become a source of inspiration for many.
They have also been my great interest.
"Gold in Art"
was the name of an exhibition, that took place
in summer of 2001 in Borgholm’s Castle Ruins,
and was arranged by the curators Kamras.
The contrast between the raw, worn walls and the
magnificent works of art in gold, with invited artists,
was an unforgettable experience. I contributed with
12 gold glazed sculptures / consoles.
Some are now shown on STUDIO L2
WELCOME!
