Biography, CV
Carsten Regild, was born in Copenhagen in the year 1941 and died in Stockholm in 1992. Being a Swedish /Danish artist as well as a commercial artist, he was productive in Stockholm. He worked with drawings, collages, paintings, movies and music. Together with Rolf Börjlind, in 1973 he founded the Stencil Periodical Kulturmagasinet Vargen and they even founded Vargens Publishing Firm, which published art books and the art magazine Kulturmagasinet Vargen.
His art was very graphic and collage inspired with an advertising touch to it and all his art entailed a recurring theme of symbolism. He created an icon that he called “Vargen”, which reappeared frequently in his works. Vargen was a picture of a man in a coat and a hat, drawn in comic strip Film Noir – style, somewhat like Mr Walker, or a 1950’s spymovie. Another of the iconic pictures he created was that of a black light bulb, this came to be the logotype for Bo Cavefors Publishers. On the surface it could appear as if he was working within the Pop Art tradition, but Dada and Surrealism equally inspire his ways of expression.
In 1972 he had a separate exhibition Nekropolis at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and in 1981 they had on showing an exhibition of his art from the years 1953-1981 which was given the title Vargens öga.
In 1975 he released collective record titled Voice Of The Wolf, with among others Pugh Rogefeldt and Åke Hodell.
In 1990 his works were exhibited at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, with a larger separate showing titled Terra Incognita Tur o Retur. The same title was used at a larger retrospective exhibition of his works at The Art Academy in Stockholm in 2006.
