ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jacques Mangold was born i Paris in 1948. He moved to Stockholm in 1975 and has lived here ever since.
Jacques is an autodidact artist who has painted since he was a child with Cezanne and Gauguin as models. It was in Stockholm that he started to develop his artistry, and he belongs to the painting group Maria since 1983.
-The advantage of being autodidact is that you take more risks and dare more than in the false security of an art school, he says.

His oil paintings are characterized by strong colours and geometrical city pictures, often in association with soft shapes of landscapes and unusual Nils Holgersson perspective (the character of Selma Lagerlöf's famous novel that fly over Sweden on a goose).
The exhibition "Identity" is a personal tribute to the colourful images of the city of Stockholm, the wide forests and lakes in the north of Sweden and the sunny French Riviera.
Though he's a convinced cosmopolitain and globetrotter, it's these three fixed points in life that has shaped his identity in time and space. And it's this harmonic mixture expressed in his paintings that he wants to share with other people.
