"A vibrant flâneur with an eye for bicycles, the artist Berndt Wennström… He resides in Södermalm, Stockholm, and it is the streets and parks of Södermalm that he portrays, filled with people in motion. A small-town atmosphere in blue and light gray, or bright red, or rich yellow. Everyday moments captured, which he continuously seeks out and attempts to recreate with shifting color harmonies."
