Despite earlier signs that Spring was on its way, the weather in Scandinavia has turned cold and grey, with icy rain falling on the hard packed snow still covering much of the region. It was surprisingly warming therefore, to view the colorful new series of paintings by our friend, the Swedish artist Bertil Hansson, at his recent vernissage in Oslo.
In the mainly abstract image-world Hansson inhabits, light has always played a central role, whether expressed through painting, photography or graphic art and the same is true of his recent work, comprising mainly of tempera on canvas.
Work in the new exhibition comprises of a collection of small series that includes Resa (Travel), Ükent Land (Unknown Land), Ljuskraft (Light Power) and Tilsammans (Together). Called simply Abstrakt, Bertil Hannson’s exhibition at Galleri A in Oslo is on show until 20. April and well worth a visit if you're in the area. Take a look below to see a selection of paintings from the show and remember to read our earlier profile of the artist as well as viewing our online gallery of his work.
