Galleri Lars Bohman is proud to present the fourth solo exhibition with Hans Wigert. The exhibition "The Autumn's Eye" consists of a series of new paintings.
Hans Wigert has both in oil and in printed works approached life and death, happiness and sorrow. He has depicted the human conditions with gentle humour and lively realism. But perhaps primarily has Hans Wigert allowed us to experience the landscape in the province of Ångermanland aswell as the nature around his home in the Stockholm archipelago. Ever since he in 1965 received the scholarship of Grundsunda folklore society he has conveyed the northern landscape in personal paintings from his cottage by the lake Prästsjön. Hans Wigert reflects with just as open eyes as an open mind his surroundings which creates fascinating meetings between the viewer and the figures that sometimes form among trees and brushwood. The siren of the wood emerges, and up in a tree we find a man with hair as golden as the autumn trees on the opposite shore of the lake. Hans Wigert allows the myth and the inexplicable to be present in his works, and he invites the viewers to a journey of wonder.
Nature and our relation to it is a recurrent subject in the works of Hans Wigert. In the new exhibition "The Autumn's Eye" we meet grand panoramic views and in painterly close-up details the secrets of nature is presented. Apparently easy to access but at a closer look the more difficult to grasp Hans Wigert shows how multifaceted nature can be. The exhibition takes us through the different seasons, from the moist of the autumn leaves to the clarity of the powder snow.
In conjunction with the exhibition the gallery presents a new book about the artist. Mårten Castenfors has written an introductory essay and the new paintings are included.
Born in 1932 in Karlskrona, Hans Wigert lives and works in Stavsnäs. He received his artistic education at the Royal University College of Fine Arts (1960-65). Hans Wigert was in 1988 elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts.
