Ian Rusth (born 1950 in Trollhättan) is a sought-after Swedish artist, active in Majorna in Gothenburg. In his colorful naïveté, grand turn-of-the-century villas coexist with buses, dogs, picturesque outdoor cafes and romantic buildings. Thoughts are taken to Paris, which has long been an important inspiration for Rusth. He is a self-taught artist whose first exhibition took place in an old tobacco shop in the late 1970s and has since become one of Sweden's most beloved artists. He creates the recognizable frames with his own hands from door linings from old demolished shacks. The beautiful, subtle and slightly enigmatic motifs have charmed art collectors in Britain, France, the Netherlands and Norway and are also sold at auctions far outside Gothenburg. A warm welcome to enter the narrative naïveté Ian Rusthhs magnificent fantasy world.
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.
