Artist Bo Torgé
Born
1949 in Stockholm
Paint in acrylic
Education: autodidact
The paintings
are mostly abstract and relate to abstract expressionism. Figurative
painting also occurs.
The challenges lie in different boundaries,
movements, colors and shapes
Curiosity and playfulness in the
paintings are important in my creation.
After finishing the
painting period in 1983, the painting work was resumed in 2015, where
painting is now performed professionally full time.

A central idea for me is the form, which should be a way of experience for the viewer who should be able to fill in with their imagination. I would like to name my paintings as "objects" when you associate the paintings with the idea of a form, which has come to be the end result of an inner experience or idea. In my objects I use different numbers of shapes. They are represented in different long series and in a specific system for each object. The uniformity and symmetry of the paintings allow a growing and the possibility of great variation. There are no limits here. The geometry is important in my paintings, but never as a self-purpose, it wants to tell us something. One can sense timeless principles in the compositions developed from the early, more contemplative, restrained form studies to life-affecting displays of color and rhythm, where the imagination of the viewer places limitations.
