BENGT LINDSTRÖM (Sweden, 1925 - 2008). Untitled. Acrylic on paper glued to board. Presents label on the back of the Juana Mordó Gallery, Madrid. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 104 x 74 cm; 110 x 80 cm (frame). This piece reflects an aesthetic language where various avant-garde movements and the translation of the history of art are reflected. From a new perspective in which the aesthetic transgression at the hands of the artist that involves the creation of an image with its own language and personality. Through the use of color the work offers the viewer a new vitalist aesthetic that merges with a diluted and fluid technique that spreads over the surface of the canvas in an apparently random way. However, compositionally the artist has managed to create a completely harmonious image where the mastery of color and technique achieve an expressive, vitalistic and dynamic image that captures and creates a dialogue with the viewer. Bengt Lindström began his artistic training at the Stockholm Academy (1944-1945) and at Isaac Grünewald's school of painting. He later worked with Aksel Jorgensen, before spending some time in Chicago and moving to Paris. There he worked in the studios of Fernand Léger and André Lhote. In 1949 he began to paint in a less figurative and increasingly colorful style. His first solo exhibition took place in Sweden in 1954, at the Gummesson Art Fair. From the 1950s onwards, he took part in several group exhibitions and salons in Paris. Recognized from the 1950s onwards, Lindström held solo exhibitions in cities such as Paris, London, Brussels, Cincinnati and Tokyo. Most of his work is currently held at the Krimaro Foundation, as well as at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Carnegie Institute, the Pompidou Center in Paris and the Tate Gallery in London, among many others.
