Bengt Lindström, From Dream to Canvas

5 March – 27 March 2026

Opening reception: March 5

In 2025, the international art world marked the centenary of Bengt Lindström’s birth, a milestone that has sparked renewed attention through retrospectives across Scandinavia and Europe.

This spring, Galerie Birch is proud to present a focused exhibition that continues this momentum.

Lindström is celebrated as one of the most powerful voices of Nordic modernism. His work is instantly recognisable with its bold colours and mythological figures, deeply rooted in the landscapes and folklore of northern Sweden and Sámi culture. Influenced by his years in Paris and the post-war European avantgarde, his art bridges Nordic mythology and
international expressionism.

This exhibition presents a carefully curated selection of paintings highlighting Lindström’s distinctive visual language which is as relevant today as when it first emerged. The exhibition at Galerie Birch offers a rare opportunity to experience his work in an intimate gallery setting.
