Description

Stefan Kavsjö's painting carefully depicts the changing coastal landscape's shifts from one state to another in weather and wind. A sudden rain, the mist when the sunlight breaks through, the rising and setting of the sun and the magical light that arises just at the breaking point. In Stefan's paintings, we are reminded of the uncontrollable powers of nature. We become the little spectator on the ground, peered into the sky to try to observe and react. It is enchantingly beautiful but at the same time full of whimsy that calls for reflection and thought.

After training at Domen art school, KV, and GU, Stefan Kavsjö debuted as a 23-year-old with an attention-grabbing solo exhibition at gallery Fenix in Gothenburg, and he then participated for a short time in several group exhibitions. After a long break, Stefan Kavsjö has now resumed creating in classic layer painting, with many thin layers of oil glazes, and strong contrasts in color and brushwork to capture the depth and movement in the image.

Technique: Oil on canvas
Size: 75 x 150 cm

EXHIBITION IN LINKÖPING 21 OCT - 5 NOV 2022

STEFAN KAVSJÖ

In Kullavik just south of Gothenburg, Stefan Kavsjö lives and works in his studio. Here next to the sea, the special light is a constant companion, whether it's a late summer evening or a midwinter day. The pursuit of the clouds across the sky and the ever-changing light is for Stefan the absolute strongest source of inspiration. After an early education at art school in Gothenburg, Stefan Kavsjö already had several successful exhibitions as a 23-year-old. But life took a different turn, and he took a long break from painting, although creation has always followed Stefan in one form or another. Since a couple of years ago, he and the painting studio have been reunited with new energy. The living interior and exterior expanses carry an unimaginable source of inspiration that Stefan Kavsjö brings with him in the brushstrokes and the contrasting landscapes.

INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LANDSCAPE

IN THE MOMENT OF CHANGE

Stefan Kavsjö paints landscapes in the moment of change. A kind of abstract impressionism that is not directly descriptive but concrete enough to experience the feeling of a natural landscape with its enigmatic shifts.

"It's about depicting an inner landscape rather than describing nature, like memory pictures from the moment when you stop in wonder. It can't really be touched or accurately reproduced. The pictures are an effort to recreate the feeling.” - Stefan Kavsjö

"IT'S ABOUT IMAGING AN INTERNAL LANDSCAPE RATHER THAN IMAGING NATURE. TO CAPTURE THE FEELING AND MOOD AT THE MOMENT IT IS EXPERIENCED"

• STEFAN KAVSJÖ •

MASSIVE CLOUDS & BEAUTIFUL LIGHT

SUBCONSCIOUS PROCESSES

Stefan often wanders in the powerful landscape next to his home on the west coast of Sweden. The mighty clouds and beautiful changes of light carefully and subconsciously find their way into the studio and into the brushstrokes. He doesn't choose the subjects - they come to him. It happens that Stefan passes a place and suddenly recognizes it from one of his paintings.

“Once the painting is finished, I almost forget how I created it. Just like the landscape outside has changed, so too is the landscape inside. The moment has passed and somehow turned into a picture. There is no rational explanation. Even if I start from a sketch or a memory, I don't stand and think while I paint, but have to follow the flow and the right feeling to capture the mood of the moment."

CLASSIC LAYER PAINTING

DEPTH, LIGHT & HUES

Stefan works mainly in oil and masters an unusual older technique called layer painting. Layer upon layer of thin oil glazes, often up to ten layers, create a visible depth and seductive light changes. When the light breaks through the layers of paint and oil, the effect is experienced as three-dimensional.

"I have to capture the drive and rhythm of the composition already in the first sketch. In a sense, therefore, it is a very strictly schooled process that I deal with. When I stand in front of the canvas, I have decided exactly what I want to do. Then the end result can still be something totally different." - Stefan Kavsjö
