Translation:
From the Kalmar County Newspaper. / Art Exhibition in Kalmar.
The artist Nils Golbe from Kalmar is currently exhibiting around twenty of his latest canvases in the former Anita Bar at Larmtorget. The themes of the paintings are consistently drawn from Kalmar, the Kalmar region, and Öland, serving as excellent examples of Golbe's ability to paint his home region's nature and capture the characteristics of this part of the country.
It has been a couple of years since Golbe debuted with a few paintings exhibited at Dillbergs Bookstore. In the time that has passed since then, the artist has developed further and deepened his art, but even the first paintings revealed good talent and the right eye for artistic values.
The later canvases clearly reveal the artist, and particularly the pieces featuring motifs from the Stensö fishing harbor show an immersion into the environment that is the true hallmark of an artist. Golbe has clearly fallen in love with the sea and then specifically the Kalmar Strait (Kalmarsund), but not in the manner of wanting to become the Carl Wilhelmson of the East Coast—far from it. However, his pull toward the water is noticeable. The blue glimpses through in almost all motifs, and one understands that the artist works with a preference among boathouses and fishing cottages, whether they are located in Mönsterås, Pataholm, or on Stensö.
