Björn Wessman (1949)

Björn Wessman

Björn Wessman is a Swedish painter and graphic artist who lives and works in Stockholm.

He was educated at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts. Since childhood Wessman was interested in nature and, of course, the main theme of his work from the very beginning was landscape painting. But these landscapes are special - they are so saturated with color that they seem to glow and burn, and are often accompanied by text. The artist's paintings show magnificent panoramas of Swedish mountains and French vineyards, swamps of Swedish forests and the neighborhood of the studio.

Björn Wessman is today one of Sweden's most prominent contemporary artists. His work is represented in the Royal Palace and the Contemporary Museum in Stockholm, the Gothenburg Art Museum, the Malmö Art Museum, the Umeå Museum of Paintings and the Norrköping Art Museum.
