"A colorful flâneur with an eye for bicycles is the artist Berndt Wennström... He resides in Söder in Stockholm, and it is the streets and parks of Södermalm that he portrays, filled with people in motion. Small-town atmosphere in blue and light gray, or bright red, or vibrant yellow. Everyday special moments that he constantly seeks to recreate with shifting color schemes." Review by Ann-Charlotte Sandelin on Kultursidan.nu, exhibition at Galleri Sander, Norrköping 2011.
Auction on April 22nd.
