Artist Info:
Allan Ebeling (1897–1975) was born in New York City of Swedish parents. He lived in the United States until 1908, before moving to Sweden where he studied at the influential Althins Painting School, followed by the Technical School (today’s Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design).
He worked at the Bo Fajans ceramics factory from 1921 to 1927, followed by a period at Upsala-Ekeby AB between 1928 to 1930. He subsequently worked at his own workshop located in Torshälla, 71 miles west of Stockholm.
Ebeling’s sculpture and ceramics, in particular, display a bold use of form and texture, reflecting a modernist spirit while maintaining a strong sense of individuality. He is remembered for his distinctive artistic voice that bridged tradition and experimentation.
His works are represented in several Swedish collections including the National Museum, Stockholm. He also has a museum dedicated to his work in Torshälla, where he lived much of his life.
