Ture i Berg

The house where Alfredsson created his art.

Ture Alfredsson (1896–1984) also known as Ture i Berg, was a Swedish artist and sculptor.

Career

Alfredsson had very little contact with the outside world. He lived in a rural area and retired in 1963 at the age of 67.[1]

He only began to take interest in art as a retiree, using the local[2] material he had at his disposal like stones, trash and barbed wire. He felt that art could be made from anything if the artist had a vision.[1] In the small village of Bartveten in Sillerud he built sculptures next to the road passing by his home in the area between Årjäng and Arvika.[2][3] Alfredsson created his art during a period of roughly ten years, from the mid-1960s.[3]

Alfredsson had difficulty relating to women, and consequently his art depicted a struggle between the sexes. Men and women were rarely displayed together in his pieces; if they were, they were typically involved in some kind of struggle.[2] Alfredsson's view on relationships was one of the many reasons as to why some considered him to be an eccentric.[1]

Over the span of his career, Alfredsson created approximately thirty sculptures, all located in close proximity to where he lived and close to the size of real-life objects. Examples include a group of working farmers, windmills, animals and a coffee table with artificial tulips. Some sculptures were mechanic, almost machines.[2] Alfredsson enjoyed making his sculptures mobile.[3]

Located in the center of his sculpture garden, there was a tower, allowing his work to be viewed from a single vantage point.[1] Most of his sculptures have perished, and many of them are preserved only as photographs.[3]
