Förhandsvisningen av den internationella minnesutställningen ”Bengt Lindström, den Fornnordiska Mytologins Mästare” har på sin väg ut till världens konstmetropoler nu redan visats i Storsjö kapell och i Mora.
Nästa visning arrangeras i Midlanda Konsthall på Midlanda Flygplats i Timrå, Västernorrland.
Fri entré.
Ingrid Ronkainen, projektledare Bengt Lindström Art Tour:

”Det kommer bli en stor utmaning att förbereda förhandsvisningen av ”Bengt Lindström, den Fornnordiska Mytologins Mästare” i Timrå eftersom vi nu ska ställa ut i Bengt Lindströms gamla konsthall.

Temat för Timrå blir konst i världsklass av Bengt Lindström, skapade under olika perioder i hans liv, från de tidiga skisserna på 1930-talet till de sista verken som gjordes innan han blev sjuk 2003.

Jag kan lova att det kommer bli en riktigt intressant konstutställning, speciellt med tanke på att många konstverk aldrig har varit utställda tidigare.
Välkommen till en riktigt spännande konsthelg på Midlanda Konsthall.”

Ilon worked closely together with Astrid and as soon as new drawings were finished she showed them to Astrid for approval. Astrid only asked Ilon twice to change an illustration because she had another opinion about the appearance of the character. Astrid thought that Karlsson-on-the-Roof first looked like an accountant and Ronia the Robber’s daughter like a Samish girl.

Ilon has said, that Astrid’s writing continually makes her see inner pictures. She also derives inspiration for her pictures from real life; the children’s room in her own family inspired her, when she illustrated Smidge’s room. A small man in Paris looked like Karlsson on the Roof and she found Ronia’s robbers outside the liquor store. To be able to illustrate buildings, houses and environment, it is necessary to do a lot of research. In order to get a clear visual picture for the Mattis Castle, Ilon travelled through half of Switzerland for example. Ilon puts incredible effort into the details of the surroundings. She wants to be sure to interpret the personality of the characters and she is well aware of the emotions her illustrations create. To accomplish harmony between the image she has got in her head and the finished drawing on paper, she has to redo it many times. First she starts with pencil sketches and the final version is done in Indian ink.

Just as Astrid wrote for “the child within her”, Ilon draws for “the child within her”.

Ilon Wikland is the artist, who has illustrated the greatest number of Astrid Lindgren’s books. She has illustrated The Six Bullerby children, The Children on Troublemaker Street, The Brothers Lionheart, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, Mardie, Mio my Son, Simon Small, Ronia the Robber’s Daughter, Seacrow Island, The Ghost of Skinny Jack as well as Sunnanäng. She has also illustrated many picture-books, including: The Dragon with Red Eyes, I want a Brother or Sister/That’s My Baby, Brenda helps Grandmother and Simon Small Moves in.
