More information
Oskar Bergman occupies a unique position in Swedish art history through his detail-rich, atmospheric landscape paintings of primarily Swedish nature and Swedish towns in bright colours and shimmering light. With a strong influence from the Swedish Artists' Association's national romanticism and Japanese woodblock printmaking, he developed his distinctive visual language. He primarily worked in gouache and watercolour, mediums that allowed for a high degree of control and precision in execution.
His motifs are often drawn from the areas around Saltsjöbaden, where he spent much of his life, but his works transcend the documentary. Instead, the landscapes serve as subjects of study where he explores form, rhythm, and composition. With restrained colour palettes and a carefully constructed pictorial structure, he creates a visual order where each element is balanced. Oskar Bergman's art can be understood as an extension of the national romantic landscape painting, but with a personal interpretation that approaches the decorative and sometimes symbolic. Through his methodical working process and focus on the formal qualities of nature, he contributed to a continuity within Swedish figurative painting during the first half of the 20th century.
Designer
Oskar Bergman was a Swedish visual artist born in Stockholm. Bergman was self-taught and took much inspiration from his study trips to Germany, Italy and France. Bergman worked as an etcher and painter, with his paintings, which emulate an overpowering Swedishness, is valued today not only in Sweden, but also international artists. With his razor-sharp and lifelike depictions of both city scapes and rural landscapes, Bergman managed to capture viewers and art audiences alike. As a self-taught artist, one is particularly impressed by his detailed and evocative painting style.
