Olle Hjortzberg

Olle Hjortzberg (1872-1959) grew up in Linköping before moving to Stockholm in 1886 and a few years later becoming an apprentice to his brother-in-law, the illustrator Agi Lindegren. In 1892-1893, Olle Hjortzberg participated in the embellishment and decoration of Uppsala Cathedral. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts before a scholarship enabled a multi-year study trip through France, Italy, Greece and Palestine. After his return to Sweden in 1905, many commissions in church painting and building decoration followed. Among them were 28 paintings in Klara Church, the Dramaten restaurant, the City Hall and the Stockholm Institute of Technology. Olle Hjortzberg was also a professor at the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and as a graphic artist he created many stamps and, among other things, the poster for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. Olle Hjortzberg liked to combine traditional elements and stylistic features in a simultaneously modern design language. Preferably in a monumental style and a somewhat strict stylization with clear inspiration from Assyrian art and symbolism. Olle Hjortzberg is represented at, among others, the National Museum, the Modern Museum and the Norrköping Art Museum.

Upcoming Exhibitions

Art is best experienced live. Openings are arranged at the gallery in Linköping approximately once a month, all year round. Here you can experience a wide selection that alternates between contemporary art, where the artist himself is often present, and classic or modern collections.

About Gallery Melefors

Johan Melefors, born 1971, founder and CEO of Galleri Melefors, grew up in a family that is the third generation in the auction and antiques industry. Already during his childhood, Johan developed an interest in art and since the early 1990s has collected and traded classic, modern and contemporary art. He started Galleri Melefors in Linköping in 2013 when he moved home from Stockholm to his birthplace of Linköping, which he felt lacked an art store and gallery with a breadth of established collector's art and a well-thought-out and future-oriented contemporary catalog to display.
