More about Håkan Rehnberg
Håkan Rehnberg is one of Sweden’s leading artists. He lives and works in Stockholm and has, for several decades, developed a form of painting that combines formal precision with a strong interest in the possibilities of colour and sensuality.
Rehnberg has developed a distinctive technique using oil paint on acrylic glass. By replacing the traditional canvas with acrylic glass, he transforms the physical qualities of painting. The material’s lightness and transparency emphasise the open and fluid character of his works.
His art can be related to the American Color Field tradition, with artists such as Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko, as well as to the abstract painting of Gerhard Richter. Colour plays a central role in Rehnberg’s work, used both to reveal and conceal. His paintings thus move between the visible and the hidden, inviting questions about what we actually see.
Rehnberg has exhibited extensively in Sweden and internationally and has been a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts since 2000.
