Borg Emil Ragnar Mesch, född 17 december 1869 i Sundsvall, död 20 oktober 1956, fotograf. Som ung hade han en studio i Landskrona och Gävle, men flyttade 1899 till Kiruna. Mesch tog oerhört många porträttfotografier, vilket var hans huvudsakliga levebröd, men det han är känd för är sina foton från nybyggarsamhället Kiruna, byggandet av Riksgränsbanan, Kebnekaises fjällvärld och samerna. Mesch sågs allmänt som en äventyrlig man, och deltog i flera expeditioner för att bestiga fjäll.

Ivan Agueli aka Abd al-Hādī 'Aqīlī










Ivan Aguéli (born John Gustaf Agelii) (May 24, 1869 - October 1, 1917) also named Sheikh 'Abd al-Hādī 'Aqīlī (Arabic: شيخ عبد الهادی عقیلی‎) upon his acceptance of Islam, was a Swedish wandering Sufi, painter and author. As a devotee of Ibn Arabi, his metaphysics applied to the study of Islamic esoterism and its similarities with other esoteric traditions of the world. He was the initiator of René Guénon into Sufism[2] and founder of the Parisian al Akbariyya society. His art was a unique form of miniature Post-Impressionism where he used the blend of colours to create a sense of depth and distance. His unique style of art made him one of the founders of the Swedish contemporary art movement. (wikipedia)









































































He was born in Gotland where he started to paint, Later he moved around in Europe. He was a animal activist and maybe the first swedish vegetarian? :)
Some say it is because of him bullfighting never became popular in France, during a parade, he were shooting against two matadors and wounded one of them. Soon after. bullfighting were forbidden.
After spending two months in jail he was moving around and ended up in Kairo and he started to study the arabic language (one of the first europeans to do so).
He also converted to Islam and lived in Egypt for many years.
Ivan died 1917 in a train accident in Barcelona, ​​He was deaf and people think that he couldn't hear when the train was coming.

He was so much ahead of his time, both in his way of living and painting.
For me his paintings are so mysterious and he's coulours are beyond my mind

Gardar Eide Einarsson





Norwegian artist, who can be described as a conceptual minimalist. From press release:
"Dog-Whistle Politics: You have to be in the know in order to understand the
message in the deliberately ambiguous communication, the symbols or behaviour,
which seem to mean one thing for the general population and something else for
the target group.
The symbols of violence, politics, class struggle and revolution may be sensed,
but you never feel completely in the know!"
Ps. Big paintings!
