Woman Ingbritt Irene Lagerberg - or ii for short. I showed my work publicly for the first time in Gothenburg, Sweden 1979. Since then I have had more than forty successful exhibitions, mainly in Sweden and Norway, but also in Scotland, Spain, Belgium and the United States.

From oil and acrylic, I have developed a penchant for tempera that I mix myself. My Colors, often a saturated ultramarine and fluorescent orange, have a unique luster when used with the handmade paper which I prefer.

Chairs My painting is about male and female, communication, relationships and experience. In the early 1990's I found my special symbolic language. It was then that the humanized chairs began to take shape. The chairs of symbols - the slender female and male of the mighty armchair - always with me since.

With three-dimensional montage images I have developed my design language further. I paint pictures and build some other self-made paper. Tempera, oil and acrylic topped with 24 carat gold leaf.
