Evert Lindfors

Evert Lindfors (1927–2016) was a Swedish artist who moved between painting and sculpture, studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris before settling into a long working life in Lacoste, Provence. In the late 1960s, he turned towards terracotta, developing a sculptural language of small figures, heads and animal forms, often set on wooden bases.

This small group brings together a face or bust in patinated plaster or ceramic, a head raised on a joined wooden plinth, and a flying figure in faience with carved decoration beneath the surface. Each piece keeps the join between figure and base visible, with wood and ceramic meeting in a way that feels practical, slightly ungainly and unexpectedly tender.

There is a particular directness to Lindfors’ small sculptures. Heads become signs without losing their bodily oddness; figures appear weathered and alert, with the patina giving plaster and ceramic a mineral density. The wooden support gives each form a borrowed footing, somewhere between studio fragment and small domestic monument.
