Meeting Swedish Artists in Easter (part 1)

(一) 老婆婆與她的金畫布
Part 1 - The Old Lady and Her Gold Canvas




之前聽朋友仔講, 瑞典每年復活節, 除左傳統慶祝之外, 會有一個叫 "Konstrundan" (解"Art Round") 既 event.  全國各地都會有好多藝術家, 開放佢地既屋企 / 工作坊俾人參觀, 展出佢地既畫作, 雕塑, 陶瓷等等.
一年一度既盛事, 好多人都會渣車周圍去睇野.  然而小弟無車, 當然係踩單車去睇啦!

Heard from a friend that in the Easter holiday every year, there is an event called "Konstrundan" in Sweden (meaning "Art Round") -- many artists around the country will open their home / workshop, so we can go to see their painting, sculture, or whatever their art form are.
As a big annaul event, many local people will drive their cars to visit the artists.  But i don't have a car... so i'll paddle my bike to see them!

Let's Go!



第一日路線.
呢度係瑞典東南部 (eastern Skåne), 聽講呢頭藝術家比較出名.
Route of the first day.  Here is eastern Skåne, south-east part of Sweden, heard that the art here is more famous.


由隆德坐巴士去小湯 (Tomelilla), 陪同我既乖仔 (單車收小童價錢)
I go from Lund to Tomelilla by bus, with my lovely son (bicycle costs a child's fare in bus)




乜突然咁聖誕既??
Suddenly very Xmas feel....


見到呢種標誌, 就知有大師出現!
When you see this kind of sign, there's a master near by!


先拜訪 Agneta.
Firstly visit Agneta Nilsson.


似唔似畢卡索?
Feel like Picasso?


除左油畫, 佢仲有好靚既編織作品.
Besides painting she makes knitting art too, very nice.


一傾之下, 原來Agneta個仔(定係侄子?)去過香港住, 仲响度娶左個菲律賓太太 (瑞典人好鍾意娶菲律賓人架).
Agenta said his son (or brother's son?) has been living in Hong Kong, and got a Philipino wife there (Swede guys do love Philipino girls!)

繼續踩, 去林田 (Lunnarp).
Continue my biking, to Lunnarp








來到 Tania 家, 唔記得同佢影張相添.  (報紙相片)
Arrive to the home of Tania (Tatiana Groniewicz-Fant), forgot to take a photo with her (this is a photo from newspaper  article in Sydsvenskan.se)


佢既畫作以金色為主色, 好有貴氣.
Her paintings use gold as the main color, feeling gorgeous.




Tania 去過伊斯坦堡, 我都想去...
Tania has been to Istanbul, i wanna go too.


並唔係金色咁簡單, 真係用金箔紙做底, 上面再畫上油彩.  之前既 Agneta 都有用小小金箔, 但唔係成張.
The paintings are not only golden, but actually painted on a gold foil!  (image from web)
Previous artist Agneta also used gold foil, but not the whole canvas.


呢幅一睇就好日本大師北齋 feel, 果然 Tania 話靈感係來自北齋既"沖浪圖".
This painting has the feeling of Japanese art, especially Hokusai's printings.  Tania said the idea really came from Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa
