Roger Metto
Roger Mettos färgsprakande landskapsmåleri frammanar ofta känslan av människans litenhet inför en storlagen men också mystisk natur. Han är uppvuxen i Kiruna, omgärdad av de vidsträckta fjällmassiven. I målningarna finns delar av en avbildad natur som sammanvävs med abstrakta element på ett för Metto signifikativt vis. Han finns representerad i de stora svenska muséernas samlingar.
Born in Kiruna in 1964, lives and works in Stockholm.
