Vintage Mid-Century Swedish Framed Portrait Oil Painting - Painterly Portrait

1950s

About the Item

PAINTERLY PORTRAIT Size: 53 x 44 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A very striking and emotive mid-century figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas. The painting portrays a silhouette of a solitary figure, bathed in a luminous yellow hue. The figure stands boldly against a profound dark backdrop infused with subtle yet striking hints of blue, red, and white. These background shades evoke a sense of mystery and depth, lending an air of ambiguity to the composition. Painted in an abstract manner, all realistic details including facial features have been purposefully omitted, and the artist has used the power of brushstroke and colour to highlight emotion. What’s most striking is the masterful use of highly expressive and painterly brushstrokes, that have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece. This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wood frame with visible grains. The painting has very minor paint losses to its edges, but the overall paint layer is stable. The frame is in very good vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item’s condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.

    The two works are for sale together. Together they are more meaningful. The two figures are side by side, looking at each other. Each work is 92X73 cm. If it is desired to be exhibited together, the frame of one is slightly larger than the other. However, the canvas dimensions are exactly the same size. If desired, the frame can be changed. The work is oil on canvas. The artist does not use white paint on white areas. That is the nature of the artist. More information is right below. Ömer Kaleşi...
