artist biography
Olof "Olle" Gunnar Ängkvist, was born March 16, 1922 in Stockholm. He was a Swedish painter, print maker, illustrator and sculptor.

After graduating in 1942, Ängkvist studied in the spring of 1943 at Otte Sköld's painting school, between 1943 and 1949 at the Kungliga konsthögskolan (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) in Stockholm, and then in the summer of 1949 at the Boston Museum School Summer Session with Oskar Kokoschka as head teacher. In the autumn of 1949, he stayed in Florence and made study trips to around Europe including time in Spain and France. He was awarded a scholarship from the Royal Foundation in 1957 and from the Kimmansson Foundation at the Konstakademien (Academy of Fine Arts) in 1960. Ängkvist received a silver medal at the annual competition for the city's Ostend European Artist Prize 1962 and the state's major work scholarship 1966-1967.

He lived with his family in Rome between 1957 and 1958, and from 1961 to 1963 he worked with ceramic decoration at the Department of Botany at Stockholm University. He had solo exhibitions at Gummesons konsthall in1954, at the Swedish-French art gallery in 1964, and various galleries in Halmstad, Norrköping and Rättvik. He had 2 person shows with Bertil Wahlberg in Karlskrona in 1944, with Georg Suttner in Uppsala in 1956, with Walter Bengtsson at the Artists' House in Stockholm in 1960, and alongside Börje Lindberg at Galerie Gammel Strand in Copenhagen in 1963. He exhibited with Ivan Rodell and Jan Stenvinkel exhibiting decorative sketches for the Twelve Shillings Opera at Galerie Observatorium in Stockholm in 1965. He participated in the Svenska konstnärernas exhibitions at the Konstakademien (Academy of Fine Arts), the Svenska institutets (Swedish Institute’s) graphics exhibitions in Rome, Turin, Paris Milan and London 1961 to 1962, and the artist group Aktiv färgs utställningar at Galerie Blanche in Stockholm. He had work in numerous group exhibitions in Lund, Karlstad, Nyköping, Njurunda, Vienna and Yugoslavia. He was represented in the exhibition Kubism, abstrakt måleri, primitiv skulptur (Cubism, Abstract Painting, Primitive Sculpture) which was shown at Norrköping Art Museum in 1949.

Olle Ängkvist's largest public work was the design of Alby metro station, which was completed in between 1972 and 1974. He also produced the public work Tupp för morgonsömniga in iron, copper and aluminum for Fröslunda school in Stockholm in 1954, the wall relief Växande for Botanikum in Frescati in 1964. He won second prize in the competition for decoration for Ängbybadet in Stockholm in 1957. In 1958 he published a print portfolio titled Folk.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Olle Ängkvist painted mainly optically suggestive pictures, but worked over time with a more playful drawing style. He tried different forms of expression from imaginative to completely informal, where text and image were combined and the canvas had a relief effect of objects and materials pasted on.

The Halland Art Museum has an extensive collection of Olle Ängkvist's works. He is also represented many other public collections including works at the Gothenburg Art Museum, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Arkiv för dekorativ konst (Archive of Decorative Art) in Lund and Lund University's Art Museum.

Ängkvist passed away at the age of 83 on March 9, 2006 in Eftra parish, Halland county.

Not as it seems
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
these are awful... Each individual panel is fine, but when you put it together it can barely stand up, and the clips that hold it together keep popping off. Steer clear of this item.

Great Product that does exactly what it says it will.
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
I really enjoy this product and it does exactly what it describes. I use it on my balcony. It is effective, but still very lightweight. It is easy to assemble as well. The price point is excellent. Also, I had an interaction with the company about an issue and they were incredibly responsive and helpful, fixing the issue immediately. Highly recommend.

Great WFH screen for video calls
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I share a workspace with my hubs since we both work from home. I have the attention span of a 🐿️ and need this so I can focus on my work and not get distracted by him, since he is very amusing to watch. This screen is very lightweight and the panels can move and create a little cubicle around your workspace. I personally loved cubicles & despise open space seating, even at home. The ADHDer in my loves being able to block things away from my field of vision. These panels also hide any mess behind you, especially if you forget to blur the background on Teams or Zoom calls or if you don’t have the option to change your backgrounds. This was fairly easy to put together and very easy to move and adjust. The screen is a much better option than a sheet as I’ve seen others use on calls.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m not sure how it will stand up around rambunctious pets or kids, but fairly certain it takes quite a push to knock it over. We have four cats & I’m pretty sure someone would try to climb this, which is why they’re not allowed in our workspace.

Difficult to assemble, but a good basic divider
Color: Beige, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I bought this to use as a background for when I have video calls. I wish I'd ordered the 6- or even 8-panel to block a little more, but that's my own error. It still covers a good portion of the room, so I'll make do, or maybe buy another at a later date to expand it. It looks ok, if a little plain. The fabric panels have creases in them from being folded and will need to be steamed or ironed out for a nicer look. It would be easy to make your own panels as well, if you're so inclined. The construction is decent. The frame is lightweight and if you don't angle the base supports the right way it may tip over if you extend it too far. The fabric panels aren't the highest quality, but are sturdy enough. They seem like they would handle being thrown in the wash well. The only issue I have with it is that it was so difficult to put together. The push latches that connect the poles don't push it well and hurt my hands. The fabric panels are sized to be extremely taut, which makes it very difficult to get them on the bars without forcing the bar to bend slightly. Overall, this is a good divider if you're looking for something simple and functional without being too worried about aesthetic. It's also a good, inexpensive base if you want to make your own custom panels.
