on the edge of the residential area at the Gothenburg Smyckegatan, over one of the small building, in which filter waste and housed, will discover a granite sculpture that Lövet the artist, the called leaves, has and is a fictional page. Today, like this sculpture may seem somewhat poorly placed, as the residential area is now surrounded by trees.
When the artist in 1992 in the district Tynnered created this work, there were few trees and plantings seemed rather dull. Leo Pettersson therefore wanted to distract the view from the cubic architectural works and create a kind of movement in the brick world, what with him Lövet, the sheet, well done, even if you get today in the Smyckegatan almost the feeling of living in a forest in which just a few blocks of flats have been established.
Leo Pettersson, who was born in 1952 in Gothenburg Partille attended art school Valand. While he created at the beginning of his creative life, especially large-scale stone sculptures, his works in recent years, more intimate. Leo Pettersson, who is known in Sweden for his paintings and drawings, created several public works in Gothenburg, on inter alia the Klippdockan Redbergsplatz.
