Bengt Lindström (1925-2008) is one of our most famous visual artists who has had a great impact with his pasty abstract spontaneity painting, with strong colors and distorted faces. Lindström was educated at Konstfack and was apprenticed to Isaac Grünewald and Otte Sköld. He studied in both Copenhagen and Chicago and lived for several years in Paris where he was accepted at both André Lhote and Fernand Léger's painting schools. Through his interest in the inherent power of colors, he came into contact with the Cobra group in France in the 1950s. Lindström made several monumental paintings and one of his largest individual works is the large silo painting in Örebro. He is represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Gothenburg Art Museum.
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.
