Essay:
Presented here is Stormy Night, a subtle and atmospheric pastel work created in 1978 by Swedish artist Bruno Wiklund (1937–2011). The piece evokes a sense of introspective mood, as swirling clouds or veils of light seem to sweep across a darkened landscape. Bare trees stand silhouetted against the shifting sky, lending an air of quiet drama. The subdued palette and soft transitions typical of pastel are handled with delicate mastery, giving the work a poetic resonance.
The Artist
Bruno Romeo Wiklund (born 4 May 1937 in Strömnäs, Kramfors — died 7 October 2011 in Härnösand) was a Swedish visual artist and draftsman, sometimes signing his works as Romeo Bruno.
He studied privately under the marine painter Tor Eugen Eliasson between 1954 and 1959, and also received instruction through Hermods, NKI-skolan, and the Medborgarskolan under Allan Dolmen. He undertook study trips throughout Europe, parts of Asia, and the United States.
Wiklund often worked in large formats with a muted color range in oil, but also produced watercolor, pastel, and ironwork. He developed his own technique combining oil and synthetic paints on antique-treated wood. His motifs included landscapes, marine scenes, figures, still lifes, interiors, animals in nature, and religious subjects.
His work was exhibited internationally, in the United States, New York, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, Japan, the Azores, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Tallinn, Riga, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and in numerous places across Sweden. He also created public commissions, including ironwork for the memorial grove in Härnösand.
Wiklund was a lifetime member of the Académie Internationale de Lutéce and was awarded its Silver Medal in 1999. He was also appointed Art Professor in Naples, and two Swiss postage stamps featuring his art were issued during his lifetime. He is buried near the monument he himself designed for the memorial grove at the Holy Cross Chapel in Härnösand.
His works are represented in the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, in the Västerbotten Regional Council, the municipalities of Sollefteå, Timrå, Kramfors, and Haparanda, in several parishes in Ångermanland, at the Institute of Art History at Umeå University, as well as in public buildings in Svalbard and in numerous corporate and private collections.
