Figurative composition on canvas, unsigned, mixed media, unframed, rolled up.
Valter Gibson was born in 1928 in Lycksele, grew up in Stockholm and lived until his death in 2002 in Hallstavik. In the years 1952-1955, Gibson studied painting at the Valand Art School in Gothenburg, with the prominent artist Endre Nemes as teacher. Gibson belonged to the "Generation 47-55" and was a member of the artists' association Grupp 54. It was founded by Nemes students who opposed the Gothenburg Artists' Club which was dominated by the Gothenburg Colorists and who opposed the new abstract and surrealist art.
"I have a passion for collage and that's how it had to be." Perhaps it is an unusual collage technique. An essential feature of my art of painting is to seek a connection in time. That is the intention of my art. The meaning is not completely clear as long as a painting is emerging. Only when the work is finished is the meaning finally formed, I paint my way to a content and the images are created within me". I often use smaller paintings and sketches that divide my works, working with monumentality and imagery appeals to me" (Valter Gibson).
