Intuitive Realism

Excursions into the landscapes of Margret Nordström are leading into a sensitive inner world of experiencing. A stillness is rising out of this pictorial space, its rhytm swinging along with the tenderly applied layers of Green and Terra. These imaginative compositions are directed by musical movements, showing only the absolutely essential in order not to hem in, not to lock up.

The surfaces of these oil paintings have a strangely iridescent effect, reminding of the airy colouring of very old aquarelles. White turns into delicate porcelain, the Violet into the vastness of the reindeer summer. Green is alive in all its shades, the reed, the Irish moss, the emerald of dewy grass.
Only a few accents in Autumn Red emanating maturity and secure shelter. The aim is to be found in a sudden stop on a long journey towards a kind of home having been impressively experienced somewhere and sometime.
This is the theme the plates of Margret Nordström, painted in a lyric hand are constantly revolving around: the landscape with the primal desire of man, the desire for peace. And peace it is you literally have to paint.
