to complete work Månfärd, havet and solvandring (Moon, sea and beach walk) to the Beryllgatan the Gothenburg district Tynnerd also includes two walls with images that Solvandring the course of the sun represent. Again, the artist takes to surrealism, this time in the form of a ceramic work.
To break the cycle of sun, so the Solvandring, display, the artist reaches for one to "soft material" ceramic, not merely provides an inherent gloss, but also allows the use of soft colors and in the course of the day by changes Sunlight constantly takes on a different expression.
The Swedish artist born in 1929 Åke Thornblad works with almost any material and surprise, therefore, again with each of his works. The skilled in the art school Valand artist who has spent several years to study abroad is, however, repeatedly returned to ceramics and to knowledge he has acquired in the 40s and 50s in the ceramics studio in Gothenburg. Works by Åke Thornblad be found today not only as public art, but also the most important museums in Sweden.
