5 active items
Lars Beijar is a Swedish contemporary artist whose work spans painting and mixed media. Active from at least the early 2010s, he works primarily on canvas using acrylic paint and layered mixed-media techniques. His titles offer occasional glimpses into his thematic range: "Flimmer/flicker" (2021) suggests an interest in light, movement, and perceptual instability, while "Skull serenade" (2023) points toward a strand of figurative symbolism. The body of work in auction records is largely untitled or generically described, placing the emphasis on surface and process rather than narrative content.
Beijar is represented by Galleri Ekvall+Törnblom on Hornsgatan in Stockholm, a gallery that has operated since 2007-08 with a focus on painting, sculpture, and graphics by primarily Swedish artists. Representation by a Stockholm gallery with a stable programme suggests an active exhibition career, though detailed solo show records are not widely documented in public sources.
His practice across the documented works - acrylic on canvas and mixed media on canvas dating from 2014 to 2023 - shows consistent output over roughly a decade. The mixed-media works make up the majority of auction appearances, pointing to a preference for building up surfaces through multiple materials rather than straight paint application alone. Works have occasionally gone unsigned, which in some cases may reflect pieces from an exploratory or experimental phase of his practice.
All 19 of Beijar's auction appearances recorded on the Auctionist platform have come through a single house: Södermanlands Auktionsverk. With 5 lots currently active, his work circulates in the regional Swedish auction market. Prices have been modest, with the highest recorded result at 450 SEK for a signed mixed-media work from 2015. The concentration at one auction house and the price levels suggest he is a working artist with a regional following rather than a nationally traded name at this stage, though gallery representation in Stockholm indicates broader ambitions and reach.
