artist biography
Sven Torsten Anderström was born August 30, 1917 in Viken, Malmöhus. He was a Swedish painter.
Anderström studied at the Skanska malarskolan (Scanian painting school) in Malmö from 1941-1942 and under leading Swedish Modernist and Expressionist artist Isaac Grünewald in Stockholm in 1942. He also studied abroad in Amsterdam, Paris and Grenoble.
Anderström debuted at exhibition in Malmö in 1943 and subsequently continued to exhibit around Sweden during his career. He painted in oil and is best known for his landscapes (often from the district of Arild, in Höganäs, Skåne in the south of Sweden) with an abstract influence and confident colour palette. He signed his paintings with his initials.
He passed away on July 18, 2004 at the age of 86.
