PUBLIC PROGRAMS Artist Talk: Danelle Bergstrom

Hear from Danelle Bergstrom in conversation with BRAG's Alex Pedley

Bathurst Regional Art Gallery presents Afterglow by acclaimed Australian-Swedish painter Danelle Bergstrom. Afterglow is Bergstrom’s first career survey and presents key works from the last 25 years of the artist’s practice.

Based in Hill End since 1997, Bergstrom now lives between Australia and Åland, a remote archipelago in Finland.

Bergstrom uses landscape and portraiture as vessels to navigate “human emotion, experiences and choices”, where the artist paints what she feels, rather than what she sees. Afterglow traces Bergstrom’s own life as it is reflected in the overtures and undertones of her subjects, from major landscape paintings and portraits to intimate sketches and drawings.

Afterglow will be on display at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery 1 April - 11 June 2023
