Birger Borgman
Winter Sunset in the Forest, 1923

1923

About the Item

This atmospheric winter scene by Swedish artist Birger Borgman captures the stillness and quiet beauty of a snow-covered landscape at dusk. Soft lavender and blue shadows stretch across the snow, while the last warm hues of sunlight glow behind a delicate tangle of bare trees. Borgman’s sensitive rendering of light and texture creates a deeply evocative mood — a poetic moment frozen in time. Birger Borgman was born in Gävle in 1888 and studied art both in his hometown and at Althin’s painting school in Stockholm from 1917. He continued his education through study trips to Norway, the Netherlands, France, and Spain. Borgman exhibited solo in cities such as Gävle, Borås, Västerås, and Örebro, and participated in numerous group exhibitions. His oeuvre includes figure compositions, scenes from Dalarna, urban motifs from Gävle, as well as woodcuts, commercial artwork, and illustrations. His work is represented in several notable public collections, including the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the Royal Library in Stockholm, and the art collections of Uppsala and Lund Universities. This work from 1923 is a fine example of his early landscape painting — a tranquil and lyrical interpretation of the Nordic winter. oil on tree panel signed and dated unframed: 65 x 74 cm (25 5/8 x 29 1/8 in) framed: 75 x 84 cm (29 1/2 x 33 1/8 in)

"Landscape #10", oil painting on cradled wood, resin finish, black wood frame
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Landscape #10 is an oil painting on cradled wood panel with chalk and graphite, and measures 24" high by 18" wide by 2" deep. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending Landscape #10 a particular warmth and liquidity that is lovely to behold. It is framed in a black wood shadowbox frame. Will’s new landscapes are inspired by the shorelines of Lake Erie and the farmland of Norfolk County, Ontario. His true project – to explore and capture sudden bursts of cloud light, a disintegrating horizon, the ephemeral nature of shifting shores and lands. From Will Hudson: “From one day to the next it seemed nothing was the same. There was no permanence to a particular view or setting. That’s what I painted.” Recognized for seductive, enigmatic works in oil on wood panel, Will's picture surfaces are fascinating – he favors oil paint with chalk and graphite – and often allows the wood grain to emerge as a natural texture. He finishes each painting with a clear resin that operates as a lens. Admitting light and transmitting light, lending a palpable warmth and liquidity to the experience. Will Hudson is a formally trained architect originally from the UK, now practicing in Toronto, Canada. With an eclectic career in the art world, Will has shown and performed chalk street painting and murals in across North America and Europe. His installations have been exhibited at Nuit Blanche in Toronto in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014. His paintings were featured in a solo show, "Things You Think You've Seen" at Artists' Network Gallery in 2018. His most recent solo exhibitions were here at Gagné Contemporary...
