Tom Cullberg’s prints are an extension of his paintings that explore aspects such as narrative, intimacy and the transient. Cullberg used references to his paintings and found images as starting points for his prints. Unsurprisingly, colour was vital in the production of these prints. Many trial proofs were pulled to establish the right colour. The prints were constructed layer upon layer until a reality emerged that conveyed both the prints’ physicality and the objects portrayed.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Cullberg attended the Michaelis School of Fine Art and continued living in Cape Town after his studies; today, Cullberg is seen as a South African artist. Cullberg has had thirteen solo exhibitions at Brundyn + and João Ferreira Gallery in Cape Town. As well as in Stockholm and Milan. The artist is represented by Barnard Gallery in Cape Town.
