About the Item

Frida Willis (Swedish, born 1971) "Around the Corner" 2024 Oil Pastel, Paper The artist signed the bottom right of the artwork. Frida Willis’ Around the Corner presents an urban landscape from a dynamic, almost voyeuristic perspective. The angled view of the colorful buildings and the narrow street draws the viewer’s eye into a scene that feels intimate yet expansive. Willis employs bold, contrasting colors—soft pinks, bright yellows, and vibrant blues—accentuated by the earthy tones of the street below. The bright, angular buildings seem to almost lean into one another, their sharp lines softened by the hazy application of oil pastels. The stillness of the parked cars in the street adds a subtle sense of life, anchoring the work in a recognizable reality while pushing it into abstraction. The painting conveys the sense of a moment frozen in time—an intersection between place and feeling—where color and form serve as emotional cues. The abstract approach to the urban environment transforms the cityscape into a more personal reflection, offering a quiet yet contemplative view of urban life. The lack of human figures places the focus on the inanimate world around them, hinting at the unspoken narratives that unfold in these everyday settings. About the Artist: Frida Willis, the Swedish-born artist, uncovered her passion for art at a young age due to her mother's artistic love. Frida followed her unfulfilled dreams, even if arts was nothing that was taken seriously and not even talked a lot about in her little village of 3000. Fast forward to the present and her works now are in the homes of The American Art Gallery's most valued patrons. Her abstract works are large in scale, powerful in perception, and always both vibrant and extremely textured - allowing for a third degree when one is viewing them. Her works are ever-improving and filled with more and more emotion with each iteration.
