Artists of the Midnight Sun - a Burst of Color in the Northern Darkness
Column's curated collection of northern art encompasses both vivid depictions of nature across marshes, fields, and valleys, and figurative scenes with a certain sharpness. The breadth within the art collection being offered now ranges from painting in various techniques and graphics to textile art. Among the paintings, Kjell Leander Engström, Erling Johansson, and Liisa Rautiainen stand out prominently. A striking and even experimental embroidery by Sten Kauppi is also worth highlighting in this unique collection, which represents the unglamorous yet bold art that has been created in northern Sweden during the latter half of the 20th century.
