European Naive
Art , Copenhagen 6th October – 18th November 2012
Per-Olof Olsson, Sweden The
Swede Per-Olof Olsson, born in 1949, is a true autodidact naive artist. He
has been a full time professional artist for more than 20 years. His
motives are characterized by people in different well-known surroundings
such as the little Swedish town of the 1960s with small local pastries and
flower shops or people enjoying a holiday in a Swedish coastal resort.
Being part of a family of several generations of pastry chefs, cakes in
all forms are important ingredients in his paintings. As a former tenor
choir singer, music is essential to his motifs. He has a positive attitude
to life and you can clearly see that in his paintings. Per-Olof
works with oil on canvas, gouache, lithographs and sculptures. Besides
numerous exhibitions to galleries and companies all over Sweden, he has
also exhibited his paintings abroad, for example in the Spain, France,
U.S.A., Germany, Denmark, Israel and Finland. Per-Olof
has his studio in Helsingborg, Sweden, right in the fancy harbor area.
Meeting people who stroll along the water front gives energy and
inspirations to new ideas and paintings. REPRESENTED Malmöhus läns landsting 1979, 1982 Burlövs kommun 1983 Kristianstad läns landsting 1985 Helsingborgs Museum 1987 Landskrona Museum 1987 Lomma kommun 1988 Krokoms kommun 1989 Jämtlands läns
