While in New York, I had the opportunity to hear my friend Tonny speak very highly about a couple of Swedish recipe books. Granted, Tonny isn't one to find himself in the kitchen very often, so I duly listened.
It unfolded into a happenstance meeting.........
Painter, photographer, author, Peter Åström, kindly invited us to his New York apartment to share the products of his talents. I must tell you that I becamecompletely enamored with his work. Each time I saw a new painting it spoke to me. I have this urge to fill my hallways and wall real -estate with Peter Åström paintings and photos.
Best of all he too has a summer cottage on Gotland, just a few kilometers from my house. So it is decided......we will meet on Gotland this summer to enjoy the fine Swedish light in style and it will also see me buying a few paintings.
Born in Stockholm and Peter now lives in New York City, the Catskills, NY, and on Gotland. Having several exhibitions all over the world , his paintings hang on the walls of many homes and at companies and institutions as well. At the moment ,he has an exhibition in Los Angeles and soon you can see his work in Chicago and at Liljevalchs in Stockholm from October the 2nd, together with Ernst Billgren and Mamma Andersson. Peter is showing paintings inspired by Märta Måås Fjetterström, from Båstad. For more information: http://www.ralphpucci.net/
