Bronze sculpture by Stefan Thoren, Sweden, 1950s, Signed
Good condition.
Stefan Thorén (1927-1997) was active as a sculptor and painter. In the 1940s and 1950s, he was a student of Otte Sköld and Eric Grate at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
As a sculptor, Stefan Thorén chose an irregular and uncompromising path. At the end of his life, he concentrated on working in iron, the material in which he created his great 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" oscillates 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 identifiable forms, sometimes transformed into insect-like machine-men in an organic-abstract language.... ...In Thorén's work, the biological species that is man is transformed into a machine among machines in the machine-society that it has itself created".
Today, he is best remembered for his many public sculptures, but he was a multi-faceted artist and a great painter, for which he deserves recognition. He himself said that 500 years from now, people will understand his art better than they do today.
