Blabbermouth - 2011 Painting

Johan Bergelin, born in 1969. Have developed himself as an artist for over 35 years. His archive includes over 1000 works on various mediums like photography, paper, canvas, wood and pvc. 10 selected works will be available for sale at ranging from large scale canvas work, pvc and wood paintings, pastel drawings and photography. Bergelin's preferred technique, automatism, using simple, primitive lines and holding the pastels, pencils or brushes very gently. The picture's effect is a kind of "romantic symbolism". The more you observe the pictures the clearer you see the message of love. Finally you see that all are tributes to life in its ultimate state. A unconscious and very immediate way of creating pictures. With references from the streets but also both from Cobra and Artbrut movements. Colour references are often from the Fauvism, often with strong purple, red, black, yellow red shades. As an outsider, Bergelin have had no contact with the mainstream world of art or art institutions.
