Bertil Nilsson | Bertil Nilsson on Tumblr (b.1981, Sweden/UK) - Eike von Stuckenbrok (2009)
Analytical, enterprising and positive, Bertil Nilsson is a Swedish-born and London-based artist-photographer. Grace, humanity and expressiveness, Bertil’s work often comes back to the incredible potential of the human body, how it can be pushed and what we can express with it through movement, across language and cultural barriers. “I’m fascinated by all the amazing things we as humans can do if we really try. Anyone that pursues something out of the ordinary, exploring new ground, not repeating themselves or others, is a huge inspiration to me.” Bertil collaborates extensively with dancers and circus artist, you can find more works and in formation on Bertil’s website and Tumblr.

Michael Kenna - 1953
Michael Kenna was born in Widnes, England in 1953. As one of 5 children born to a working class Irish-Catholic family, he initially aspired to enter the priesthood but his passion for the arts led him to The Banbury School of Art where he studied painting and then photography. Later he attended The London College of Printing and began working as a photographer and artist. He moved to San Francisco in 1977 where he was astounded by the number of galleries the city housed which allowed artists to showcase and sell their work. San Francisco has remained his home ever since.
