Björn Ekegren

born in 1955 in Stockholm/Sweden
In his impressionist watercolour paintings and lithographs created between 1970 and 1993, he quasi anticipated the light-filled and atmospheric characteristics of glass art. After his self-study, he mainly applied himself to sculptures made of glass, but also of bronze. He is creating is sculptures by means of a type of sand casting similar to the Egyptian techniques used more than 2000 years ago. The bold colours seem to reflect the Mediterranean light.
His works of art are on display in many exhibitions in Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and the USA.
