Bård Breivik (b. 1948) graduated from Bergen School of Arts and Crafts in 1970, and St. Martin’s School of Art in London in 1971, where he studied under Anthony Caro. At age 34, Breivik became a professor of sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Since the 1970´s, he has exhibited widely in galleries and museums across Europe and in New York.
Breivik sees sculptures as material, he places emphasis on the sculptures’ actual forms and pictorial quality. Breivik is continually exploring the relationship between mass and material, shape, structure and scale, the various stages from first to final form, and the potential inherent in different materials.
Breivik´s structures can be seen as commentary on man-made structures – hollow shells around a volume – but can also be interpreted as vessels for the artist´s own experiences and memories.
Bård Breivik lives and works in Norway, Sweden and China.
