Artist
Pelle Åberg was born in Stockholm in 1909, where he remained up until her death in 1964. His education began with his father and was later supplemented with study trips to Italy, France, England, and Spain. In between these trips, Åberg studied at the Technical School in Stockholm from 1927-1929. Today, Pelle Åberg is known as a folklife painter with a sense of humour. Among his subjects, most often executed in oil, one can find clowns, women with peculiar hats, elderly people, prostitutes and playful cityscapes. Åberg is also strongly associated with the decorations of Södra Theatre and Scala Theatre. Among his public works are the churches in Öjebyn and Enånger. Åberg was an active participant in Stockholm’s art life and was a member of the artist group ‘De Unga’.
