Magnus Petersson

(Sweden; born 1964)

Petersson takes his inspiration from his immediate surroundings, living as he does for much of the year amid the vast forests that swathe Sweden.

He also has a summer house on the southern Swedish coast and his work beautifully evokes both landscapes across all the seasons. As you might expect, light - and sometimes the lack of it - suffuse his paintings. Although largely - though not exclusively - expressed through the medium of watercolour, his work can clearly be seen as following in the rich tradition of Scandinavian artists - and perhaps most akin to the great Harald Sohlberg - in celebrating the inimitable landscape that surrounds him.
