On this episode Juliet is in conversation with Swedish wildlife artist Per Ekros.
Always fascinated by faces, expressions and bodies, animals are an intrinsic part of Per Ekros's life, and they form naturally and intuitively as the subject matter of his artworks. His heart lies within the animal kingdom and our consumption of their environments, which impacts him deeply and the psychology of this is a reflection of this.
The podcast discusses his series of polar bear portraits from the 2021 series The King without a Kingdom and how Per captures emotional response through his selection of material and media. His approach to a reductive painting style enables the characterisation of his chosen animal to be simplified within the composition which provides an emotional intensity in his painting.
Current works from the To The Ark series are exhibited at the Nordic Art Agency gallery during the Summer Exhibition and a solo exhibition of Per Ekros's painting will be held in the gallery from September 21st - November 16th 2024.
