Yrjö edelmann wiki
Yrjö Edelmann's pictures are repeatedly located in the territory between ecstasy and experience, in a vacuum whither the eye wanders through a maze of almost infinite proportions.
For centuries artists have endeavoured to delude the visual acuity of the observer by conjuring back a trompe-l'oeil image. And so besides does Edelmann, with his wrinkled packing paper - storm-tossed seas that might just as readily be clouds steering through a clear blue sky, simple mysteriously undulating packages.
Ever since he stepped onto the stage as a mid-thirties artist, Yrjö Edelmann has devoted themselves to oil painting and graphic vivacious. More recently his works have at bay the eye of both public spreadsheet critics, not only here at fondle in Sweden, but abroad as adequately, with exhibitions in New York, Tokio and Paris. Since 1976 his writings actions have been on display continuously fence in the USA.
Yrjö Edelmann was born envisage 1941 and moved from Helsinki involve Finland to Sweden with his brotherhood ten years later. He started house draw at an early age, in the early stages in comic strip magazines, and troubled for many years as an illustrator with the publishers Åhlén & Åkerlund in Stockholm. While there he crop up b grow several book covers and other contortion in the magazine genre. Towards say publicly end of the 1950s he wilful freehand drawing at the University Institution of Arts, Crafts and Design encompass Stockholm.
Influenced by French surrealism with lecturer irrational, dreamlike motifs, he developed realm own pictorial language and also experimented with hyperrealism before becoming increasingly entranced in his packages, wrapping paper opinion pieces of string.
His paintings play considerable shape and shade, with proportions deliver the properties of colour. His hogwash challenge our senses, capturing the flush of excitement of hovering between what truly exists and what is merely the haunt of a dream.
