Bengt Westrell
Bengt Westrell is a renowned Swedish painter, sculptor and printmaker. Born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1940, he attended the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm where he earned a degree in art history. Westrell's art is a synthesis of a range of influences, including ancient forms, Renaissance and Mannerist painting, as well as the Abstract Expressionism of the 1950s. His works include a series of still lifes and landscapes that capture the essential elements of the Swedish countryside, as well as a variety of prints and sculptures that reflect the nature of modern life. One of his most famous works is the Sången om Uppsalas stad sculpture, in which he captures the hustle and bustle of a Swedish city. Westrell has also been awarded the Prince Eugen Medal and the Swedish Art Academy's Honorary Medal.
