More information
Konstnärsparet Eddie Figge och Rune Jansson utvecklade under slutet av 40-talet och 50-talet en egen variant på det i Frankrike förhärskande informella måleriet. De gjorde det dock självständigt och uppfann sin egen ”spontanism” innan informellt måleri kallades så genom Pierre Restany. I den lilla utsökta oljemålningen från 1964 finns allt som Figge är känd för. Vi ser en pastos oljemålning med collage innehållande handskriven text och även de metalltrådar som Figge ofta inkorporerade i sina verk.
More about Eddie Figge
Eddie Figge (1904-2003) was a Swedish painter. They studied at Otte Skiöld's art school from 1939 through to 1942. After persuing figurative painting during the 40s, Figge changed course towards a more informal painting style which played with the properties of light, dark, and space. With a strong understanding of colours, she had a deep understanding of her art; inspired by the cosmos, space travel, and quantumphysics. Figge also uses assemblage to achieve her artistic goals: threads, pieces of fabric, and bits of paper that she combines with sparkling colors. Eddie Figge has gained international recognition and has participated in the São Paulo Biennial.
