This year’s Jazz Artist, Birgitta Glenmark, describes her creative method:
“My paintings are abstract. Colour and form. Layer upon layer. Light and dark. Thin transparent fields of colour that are allowed to spread over the canvas. Earlier layers decide the form of the next layer. The creative process can take different paths. The mind’s image file is continually replenished.”
Birgitta Glenmark lives and works in Stockholm, but visits to Ystad are part of the summer. Birgitta has exhibited at galleries in Sweden and Denmark. Music is a constant presence in the Glenmark family. Alongside her artistry, Birgitta works as a hand surgeon.
“Bluesette”
Does the intro in the painting look familiar? Birgitta has titled this year’s artwork “Bluesette” and donated it to the festival. The painting is acrylic on canvas and the dimensions are 69 x 73 cm.
The original could be yours! It will be auctioned during the festival via ystadjazz.se
The auction concludes at Ystads Teater on Saturday 3 August at 20.00.
