Bo Lundwall Bo Lundwall was born in Hultsfred, Småland, Sweden in 1953.
After many years of having a studio in Vallentuna on the outskirts of Stockholm, he has returned to his homeland.
Hultsfred Manor is in the beautiful countryside and serves as his home, studio and gallery.
Utbildning Bo Lundwall attended the Skåne Art School in Malmö and the Anders Beckman School in Stockholm. His media consists of oils, watercolours and lithographies. Scandinavia´s changing seasons and natural surroundings continually inspire him.
His recent trip to Africa has stirred his passion even more and has led to his growth of understanding many subjects in the ultimate wild.
He has had many commissions with businesses and private individuals, which continue to appreciate his diverse talents. The impressive list of one-man exhibitions speaks for itself as well as numerous joint exhibitions both in Sweden and abroad.
Bo´s innate bond with nature ultimately allows the viewer a glimpse at being at peace with whatever subject he chooses and its natural surroundungs.
His detailed paintings will be familiar to many from the books he has illustrated over the years. They include "Trolls, their natural habit, lives and legends" and "Hunting and game in Scandinavia". His skills are also reflected in some of Sweden´s most attractive stamps depicting wildlife. He has contributed to the "Birds in Art" exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in the USA, and was selected to contribute to "The Best of Wildlife Art". He has also been represented in Christie´s Wildlife Art auction in London.
