Kjell RINGI
1939, 20th century, Sweden

Name Kjell, Arne Sörensen RINGI
Birth 1939, Sweden

Kjell Ringi has spread his unique world of art globally, but primarily across the U.S. and Europe. His works consist mostly of paintings, as well as graphics, official posters, art books, films, sculptures and designed monumental objects.

Today, we are inundated with novel forms of pictorial representation. To stand out, one needs to display a personal touch-a hallmark of Kjell Ringi\\\'s. He does not follow trends nor does he remind us of other painters. Rather, he creates totally unique works of art with a personal style all his own. He says: \\\"I work constantly to be able to create my own world-for me, it\\\'s 100% or nothing at all.\\\"

All Ringi\\\'s works are detailed and colorful and have to be seen in real life. A couple of gallery sites represented show excerpts of his different techniques. Some pictures have been enlarged in order to display them in greater detail. However, the medium of the Internet do not do them justice.
