"Modul Relief ITarg 56D " 1981 Lars Erik Oskar Falk (born in Uppsala February 2, 1922 ) is a Swedish visual artist and sculptor. He studied at Otte Sköld and Isaac Grünewald's painting school in Stockholm. He was inspired by Bauhaus, De Stijl and Russian constructivism and his art for the thought of Olle Baertling . Falk is primarily regarded as the creator of concrete sculptures. Lars Erik Falk studied in Stockholm at Otte Skold School of Painting in 1944 and at the Isaac Grunewald Painting School in 1945 and had his first solo exhibition in 1952 at Welamssons Art Gallery in Stockholm. He works with non-figurative motifs and works with paint, sculpture, textile art and graphic design. He is among other things known for his public sculptures with painted aluminum profiles in different colors, positioned diagonally, upwards with a 73 degree slope. Lars Erik Falk's many sculptures almost always tilt at a 73 degree angle. The artist sees the angle as the exact position of the transition between rest and dynamic movement or as the point where equilibrium ends. The sculpture slats are colored so that the sides appear between each other. As you move around the work, the colors of the eye are mixed while the sculpture's air slots are opened as well. The 73-degree slope also seems to shift from straight and rank to risky slope. As seen from Sysslomansgatan, Falk's sculpture points very convincingly towards the city and the cathedral spiers. Lars Erik Falk belongs to the relatively few visual artists in Sweden who have lived in the art of expression of concrete art and, in consequence, succeed in articulating a personal idea. He has thus contributed to the development of this traditional art direction and international renewal now.
