Kai Lindemann
Mid-Century Modern Extra-Large Red Abstract Oil Painting By Kai Lindemann

1964

About the Item

An extra-large red abstract composition that invigorates the bystander with its powerful red and black color play. This oil painting is an exquisite example of a mid-century modern abstract oil painting with all of its dramatic expression, and deep saturated colors. The painting the made by the celebrated Danish visual artist Kai Lindemann (1931-2007). Kai Lindemann was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and finished his education in 1957 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art. Kai Lindemann is best known for his abstract paintings, prints, and sculptures. Especially within his paintings, he is known to typically use a multitude of saturated colors, and it is said to be the cultivation between color, light, and form that is the actual center of his compositions. His early work was influenced by the abstract expressionist movement that emerged in America in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as by the COBRA group, a collective of European avant-garde artists that included Asger Jorn and Pierre Alechinsky. His paintings from this period often feature bold colors, gestural marks, and textured surfaces. In the 1960s and 1970s, Kai Lindemann began to incorporate geometric shapes and patterns into his work, creating abstract compositions that were both structured and organic. This oil on canvas painting is signed ‘Kai Lindemann’ and dated ‘1964’ on its reverse side. Also, it is titled ‘Rød episode’ which translates directly to ‘Red episode’ from Danish. The painting carries its original wooden frame, and arrives ready to hang. The condition of the painting is great. Expect natural wear consistent with its age.
