Atelier Stockholm – The Swedish Academy of Realist Art (SARA) is a fine Art school dedicated to traditional, realistic drawing and painting.
The school uses long-established techniques from the Renaissance, 18th and 19th-century European and Russian academies, as well as contemporary methods to teach its students. Through this demanding training program, students acquire a range of skills that enable them to create personal, contemporary works of art displaying the same level of expertise and craftsmanship that meet the highest standards set centuries ago. SARA is one of only a few serious academies in the world that concentrates on the creation of realistic art.

“Renaissance Behind the Iron Curtain – The Art of Socialist Realism.” 2010-09-17
Open-to-the-public Lecture
In the late 1980s a part of Soviet history – a whole genre of art – Socialist Realism – was quickly erased from the public eye. The paintings were taken down and hidden away into basements reflecting the widespread sense of urgency to break with the past. So what do we know about this period? What kind of traditions and art schools were developed there? What connections can we find to the earlier movements such as Peredvizhniki (The Wanderers) etc.? Börje Fridlund and Elena Nordström, both experts in Russian Art History, will fill shed some light on the subject! The lecture will be delivered in english.
Congratulations to recent graduate Samuel Schultz!

Samuel Schultz will be taking part in a group exhibition at Galleri Kocks, Kocksgatan 18 in Stockholm on the 23rd-29th of September.
