Solna Centrum is a subway station in Solna, Stockholm, on blue line 11. Its artwork covers the walls with a green forest and a red evening sun setting behind treetops. The station opened in 1975 with the first arm of the blue line.
Artists Karl-Olov Björk and Anders Åberg first planned the walls in green and red. After completing them, they felt something was missing and added details and scenes among the forest. Art guide Marie Andersson says the additions were largely improvised. The paintings brought subjects debated in Sweden in the 1970s into the station: the environment, deforestation and the depopulation of rural areas. Visit Stockholm describes the work as political, unlike most station artwork. Visitors can look for the inserted scenes within the forest imagery, as well as the contrast between the red sunset and green trees.
