Stefan Thorén (1927-1997) was active as a sculptor and painter. During the 1940s and 50s he was a student of both Otte Sköld and Eric Grate at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
As a sculptor, Stefan Thorén chose a wayward and uncompromising path. In the latter part of his life he concentrated on working with iron as a material, a material in which he executed his large monumental sculpture 'Dawn'. Originally placed at Medborgarplatsen in 1976, it now stands at Brunkebergstorg, where his work 'Gyllene luft' also adorns the entrance to the Sparbanken building. Like many of his other sculptures, "Dawn" balances between the abstract and the mechanical, often in a play between the two opposites of man and machine.
In 1987, Jan Torsten Ahlstrand wrote the following about his paintings: "The couple, the male-female relationship, is a recurring motif, sometimes in fairly easily identified forms, sometimes transformed into insect-like machine men in an organic-abstract idiom... ...In Thorén's work, the biological species of man is transformed into a machine among machines in the machine society she herself has created".
Today he is primarily remembered for his many public sculptures, but he was a multifaceted artist and very much a great painter, which he deserves to be recognized as. He himself said that in 500 years people will understand his art better than today.

More photos available Leo Olavi Laukkanen (11 October 1913 Helsinki - 1 November 1978 Helsinki) was a Finnish sculptor.
