Gustaf Skoglund
1959 Mid Century Modern Abstract Landscape Oil Painting - Coastal Abstraction

1959

About the Item

COASTAL ABSTRACTION Oil on board Size: 36.5 x 49.5 cm (including frame) A striking and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract composition that captures a rugged coastal landscape through a geometric interplay of angular shapes and layered textures, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959 by Swedish artist Gustaf Skoglund (1923-2003). Rendered in an abstract, almost cubist manner, the artist has skilfully deconstructed and fragmented the natural scenery into overlapping planes of earthy browns, muted blues, and soft greys, evoking the rocky shoreline, rolling dunes, and distant waters. The palette consists of subdued, earthy hues that imbue the work with a soothing yet nostalgic quality. The brushstrokes vary—some areas exhibit smooth, blended applications, while others feature expressive, swift horizontal strokes that emphasise the tactile nature of rock formations and land contours. This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent 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.

Contemporary British Abstract Landscape Framed Oil Painting - Urban Landscape
Located in Bristol, GB
URBAN LANDSCAPE Size: 38.5 x 53.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A brilliantly executed semi- abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood. The artist works in broad, expressive strokes, filling in the urban scene with a cacophony of colour. We see areas of the canvas as well as the artist’s outlines, giving it a very raw quality, emphasising the uncompromising nature of the urban landscape. This oil on board is housed in a complementary light blue frame with an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition. About the artist: Ian Mood is a contemporary artist with an international reputation, having shown work with Saatchi London, Brooklyn Art Library, Battersea Art Fair & Manchester Art Fair – as well as being represented by numerous established galleries in the UK and US. He recently held his first solo show in New York.
