Fredrik Bülow in World Art Guide 2023 by Bellamonti Art

When Fredrik Bülow puts his headphones on, something happens. The heavy metal music penetrates his eardrums, goes around in his head, down into his heart and soul, through his hands, into the paintbrush, and onto the canvas. Listening to the depth of the instruments and the words of the lyrics takes him to another place, back in time, to memories of what has been.

Bülow never planned on starting to paint until a few years ago. With a lot of spare time, he sat down, grabbed a pen and some paper, and started to draw whatever came to his mind. One thing led to another, and now, three years later, he has made nearly 500 paintings on both stretched canvases and thick paper, has had about 20 gallery exhibitions, and has been represented by two galleries in Manhattan, New York, and one in Laguna Beach, California.

His style extends all the way from abstract to funky surrealism, cubism, action painting, pop art, and everything in between. What the result will be is not always predetermined. For Bülow, art is not a destination or goal; it’s a journey. As long as the paint flows with the music and it feels right, then he is on the right path.

When you look at Fredrik Bülows art, you can see a piece of himself, a piece of his soul. Maybe it´s a storytelling of his life or his thoughts. Maybe it´s a way of inner chaos or a way of inner calmness. Maybe it´s a way of moving forward and leaving bad memories behind. Maybe it´s a way of lashing out or a way of reflection. Maybe it´s a way for him to say, “This is me; this is who I am.”
