Eva Bostrom

Pears, by Eva Bostrom

2006

Eva Boström was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1954, and currently lives in Alpbach, Austria. While she started out as a painter - and still paints in acrylic or oil - she prefer to make really big paintings. But over the past 20 years she has also produced some 50 original lithographs. Eva says about her paintings and prints "I think that art should be funny as well as a little impudent. We should be affected by it, happy with it, and committed to it. Joy, sensualism and a sense of humor are feelings that should remain on the retina. I hope to be able to bring about these feelings to you as an onlooker. The great pop-artist in the 60's with the sense of humor like Warhol and Lichtenstein have always been sources of inspiration for me. Enjoy my pictures and get your fantasy in motion." Bostrom had her first art exhibition in 1987 at Galleri Konstgåren in Tranås. Over the years, she has gone to nearly a hundred exhibitions in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Switzerland and the U.S.A.
