Ture i Berg

Ture Alfredsson (1896-1984) also known as Ture i Berg, was a Swedish artist and sculptor.

Career
Alfredsson had very little contact with the outside world. He lived in a rural area and retired in 1963 at the age of 67.

He only began to take interest in art as a retiree, using the material he had at his disposal like stones, trash and barbed wire. He felt that art could be made from anything if the artist had a vision.

Alfredsson had difficulty relating to women, and consequently his art depicted a struggle between the sexes. Men and women were rarely displayed together in his pieces. Alfredsson's view on relationships was one of the many reasons as to why some considered him to be an eccentric. Over the span of his career, Alfredsson created approximately thirty sculptures, all located in close proximity to where he lived and close to the size of real-life objects. Examples include a group of working farmers, windmills, animals and a coffee table with artificial tulips.

Located in the center of his sculpture garden, there is a tower, allowing his work to be viewed from a single vantage point.
