Muut tiedot
'I love life, but I hate reality.' Barbro Bäckström is said to have had a note with those words in her studio. Perhaps that is why she was so drawn to the structure and malleability of iron mesh. It gave her the artistic freedom to work with physical, human forms while still retaining the weightlessness and softness that is far from the heaviness of traditional sculptures. The bodies balance between reality and dream, between the material and the dissolved.
Bäckström's works carry with them a human presence and spiritual force, which is also discernible as a common thread throughout Barbro Bäckström's entire oeuvre, whether it concerns wall reliefs in iron mesh, plastic, or aluminum, or the many public sculptures she has created.
