How To Congratulate My Sister For Her Wedding

Tre Gracer, Three Graces, by Per Agelii in the wedge coupler Park in Gothenburg


stands at the highest point in the Rambergsvägen wedge coupler Park in Gothenburg on one side of the road, the three-part sculpture Tre Gracer, Three Graces. Even if one thinks of the Tre Gracer the three Greek graces from the mythology that express the grace and are usually depicted as naked women, so the Tre Gracer soft in the wedge coupler Park but this idea somewhat.

Even if the viewer can think of the three figures on the road to women's surreal illustrations, so the artist has a different explanation, because he felt that represents the Rambergsvägen the Göta River and the three sculptures represent the high cranes on Gothenburg cargo port, as witnessed by the two viewpoints, which are located on the Ramberget can see. The artist wanted to express, therefore, the economic, industrial Graces Gothenburg.

The Gothenburg artist Per Agelii works as a stage designer and sculptor, said he is responsible for numerous sculptures in Gothenburg. Per Agelii, the Tre Gracer created in 2008, the centenary anniversary of the wedge coupler Parks, studied at art school in Gothenburg and was Valand then continued his studies in sculpture courses at the CPB (Konstnärernas collective Verkstad). The artist lives and works in Gothenburg.
