It is my great pleasure to welcome Mr Alan Lofsness to my blog today, as I am convinced that
a lot more people here in Europe and elsewhere should discover this amazing artist :
Influenced by both cubism and art deco, he develops a style in which the atmosphere is unique
, landscapes and characters share the same presence and strength. Constantly varying
techniques and colour palettes, his work is always full of surprises and audacity. That is an
artist to watch closely if you haven't already been seduced by Lofsness 's world.
Mr Lofsness, I am proud of sharing this space on my blog with you. You are here on a French
blog, and we are always curious about artist from the other side of the Atlantic, you were born
in Minnesota, but an important part of your ancestry was European, am I right ?
Well, yes, my earliest ancestor was a Dutch pirate that went to far northern Norway around 1600 to
hide from the law. He settled on a small island with former Vikings and started a new family. My
grandfather was born there in 1840 and he had 18 children. My father was born in 1908 on the same
island and he went to America when he was 16 years old. I was born in 1947 in the middle of the
great prairie of the American West. My mother was from a small village in Sweden.
