Olle Jonsson


					His first exhibited works won the acclaim of Gösta Gierow, a renowned Swedish artist. Encouraged by this response, he devoted himself to developing his talent. At first he used traditional techniques, but soon discovered a unique type of artistic material scrap iron. From then on, monumental sculptures made from scrap would be his principal means of expression. Olle Jonsson is also an accomplished fiddler and draws his inspiration from the folk music and legends of his native Alfta.
