Le Jardin de L’Amour :2019

Six sculptures de Gudmar Olovson constituent l’écrin du Château de Cheverny, le Château de l’Amour.

C’est l’une des plus importantes installations de sculptures figuratives en Europe ces 60 dernières années. <« Ce sculpteur franco-suédois, surnommé le Rodin suédois, qui nous a quittés en 2017, a travaillé à nos côtés pendant sept ans avec une ardeur passionnée afin que ce merveilleux projet voie le jour », expliquent Charles-Antoine et Constance de Vibraye. Ceci grâce à l’amitié profonde qui s’est créée entre les familles Vibraye, Wauquiez, Goemaere, la sculptrice Lena Dettervik, et trois familles profondément attachées à Gudmar: Les donateurs suédois, financiers et industriels d’envergure mondiale, la famille af Jochnick fondatrice des multinationales Oriflame et Medicover, la famille Lundin fondatrice de Lundin Petroleum et Lundin Mining et la famille Hjelt fondatrice de CDI Global et donatrice de Falsterbonäsets Open Air Museum. Les sculptures monumentales de Gudmar Olovson présentées au Château de Cheverny dans toute leur majesté ont pour fil conducteur la symbolique éternelle de l’amour et de la famille."

Six sculptures by Gudmar Olovson are making Cheverny the setting of the Castle of Love.

It is one of the largest installations of figurative sculptures in Europe of these past 60 years. "This French-Swedish sculptor, nicknamed the Swedish Rodin, who passed away in 2017, worked with us for seven years with passionate zeal in order to make this wonderful project come to life", explain Charles-Antoine and Constance de Vibraye. All this thanks to the deep friendship that developed with the Vibraye, Wauquiez and Goemare families, thanks to the co-ordination of the sculptor Lena Dettervik, and thanks to the generosity of three families deeply attached to Gudmar: Swedish sponsors, worldwide financiers and manufacturers, the af Jochnick family, founder of the multinationals Oriflame and Medicover, the Lundin family, founder of Lundin Petroleum and Lundin Mining, and the Hjelt family, founder of CDI Global and sponsor of Falsterbonäsets Open Air Museum. The monumental and majestic sculptures of Gudmar Olovson exhibited in the Château de Cheverny symbolise eternal love and family."
