He is a native of Lund and refers to himself as an image maker or electrographic artist. The latter because he often experiments with EEG and EKG machines at Lund Hospital to create his visual motifs.He has also drawn inspiration from electronic music, and based on two fundamental themes — architecture and music — he has aimed to create a series of images that harmoniously resonate with these themes.Bengt Christersson has previously participated in art exhibitions in Lund and has, among other projects, created the decorations for the Dialysis Department at Lund Hospital. — — — Category: press — Image maker at S:t Petri creates art with EEG machineLUND: Bengt Christersson, 30, is the new exhibitor at Galerie S:t Petri in Lund.

He refers to himself as an image maker or electrographer, as he often experiments with an EEG machine at Lund Hospital.Electronic music, as seen in the works of John Cage, Bo Nilsson, Stockhausen, and Xenakis, provides him with many impulses, as does architecture. The style that can be called concretism is characterized by an “anthropological quest” in that it serves both as an analysis and a synthesis of humanity’s relationship with the technological world.Bengt Christersson has previously exhibited at Skånes Konstförening, Lundagalleriet, and Galleri HS in Lund. Last year, he created a decoration for the dialysis department at Lund Hospital.The exhibition runs until November 24, with an opening today at 5 PM. The gallery is open on weekdays from 3 PM to 8 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 PM to 5 PM. — — — Category: press — Bengt Christersson calls the paintings he will exhibit today at 5 PM in Galerie S:t Petri “electrografik.” He often experiments with an EEG machine at Lund’s hospital, claiming to draw inspiration from electronic music such as that of John Cage, Bo Nilsson, and others. — — — Category: press — If one wants to communicate something, to express something, it is done in a specific way, in a specific form, using certain conventional signs. This applies, of course, to all messages, including artistic ones.Bengt Christersson limits himself in his images to only talking about language — that is, essentially about nothing. They are beautiful images, virtuosic compositions that speak about the act of speaking, discussing the signs used to communicate, to convey messages. They are breathtaking abstractions. — — — Category: docs — Cool Restraint – Pulsating with LifeMathematically cool, with strictly maintained color compositions, Bengt G. Christersson’s abstract works initially appear distant. But as one gets closer, captivated by a detail, an intriguing line, or an apparently neutral combination of colors, one discovers a world of nuances and meticulous precision that invites a closer look. His works, with their rigor in composition, also convey a certain indefinable lightness.Until October 16, his works are on display in the “Lunchrumet” at Skånska Brand. To avoid confusing art enthusiasts, he has chosen to name all his works “Composition.” Each piece is light and reasonably priced, around 380 kronor.PRODUCTIVITYBengt G. Christersson has been very active over the past two years. His works are displayed not only in Lund but also nationally, primarily thanks to a commission for murals in the regional hospital’s dialysis department.HEARTBEATSChristersson attracts many new admirers through his works, which embody a meticulous search for rhythms and sensory patterns. One senses a profound feeling of contemplation, inviting the viewer to ponder the meaning behind these works.STRAIGHTNESS – WARMTHThe viewer, initially confronted with a sort of rigorous and complex logic, eventually discovers a point where the rhythm of life and warmth seems to subtly pulse beneath the surface.In Bengt Christersson’s geometric paintingsAt Gallery HS, there is an indefinable movement. The flow is sometimes steady, but occasionally staccato. The works appear to be a sort of mechanical play of light.Lars Hägglund, exhibiting with Christersson, brings a certain depth that contrasts with the humorous, microscopic aspect of some of Christersson’s pieces, which seem almost more comical than menacing.Viola Robertson — — — Category: docs — At Lunda Galleriet, Beng G. Christensson makes his debut with a rather interesting collection of ink drawings—some of which might even be considered paintings. The exhibition is divided into two sections, each featuring a collage as a “sign.” One section includes an anatomical model of a male body, while the other showcases an eye, through which the artist’s otherwise abstract images gain a human connection, anchoring them in sensory experiences.The first part of the exhibition contains concrete exercises, where Christensson’s unique style is difficult to discern, while the second part, which deals with certain optical phenomena, feels more personal. Here, Christensson creates a kind of signal play with black and white, and occasionally colored circles inserted into a grid that resembles a musical staff, with horizontal lines interrupted by vertical bundles that gauge the depth of the image.The entire work is executed with a fairly clean and beautiful precision without appearing overly sophisticated or lifeless. The compositions may be based on some sort of system, but they likely arise more from intuition—like a form of visual point music. — — — Category: visual — — — Category: visual — CARD, FRONT — — — Category: letters — — — Category: visual
