About Ola Billgren

  • Ola Billgren (5 January 1940 – 4 November 2001) was a Swedish artist and art theorist.
  • His art can be seen in various public collections including Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.After a few years of informal art, Billgren became influenced by the new realism and photorealism in the 1960s, often, however, using contrasting abstract elements in his works.
  • He then had his breakthrough.After the mid 1970s he turned to seemingly traditional landscapes, deconstructing the conventions of romantic painting.Later on, he also examined colours and light in abstract paintings.
  • In the 1990s he presented a series of red-surfaced paintings, which at first sight give the impression of something abstract, after which the underlying pictures slowly emerge, like "suppressed figurations".
