Bengt Lindstrom

Biegga Galles, God of the Storm Wind

As it turns out -- I'm a big fan of the Swedish painter,
 Bengt Lindstrom (1925-2008)

His stuff drives me crazy.

I wrote about his show here .

Below are some more pictures that I took.

The American contemporary artworld
being what it is,

 chances are I will never see his work again.

The Nordic God, Thor

Little Red Riding Hood

(with a rather crocodilian wolf)

student work,  Art Institute of  Chicago

self portrait, 1970's

The Nordic God, Loke

Women of the Champs Elysees

(one for each side of the box)

Viking

Crazy  Person

Red Magic

*****************

A few years ago,  I reviewed a show of Dimitry Pavlotsky

and recently it occurred to me that he might like this show.

Bingo!  Hit that nail on head.

He bought a coffee-table book of Lindstrom reproductions
back in the nineties.

For a  while, he riffed on his style
-- examples of which are shown below.

Here's a website of his recent work

If anything - he's gotten even wilder.

He seems to have turned his mind  inside-out.
