1953 Mid Century Modernist Swedish Still Life Oil Painting - Vessels and Bowl

1953

About the Item

VESSELS AND BOWL Size: 52.5 x 42.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A striking mid-century modernist style sill life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953. The subject matter consists of a green bottle, a blue vessel, and a yellow bowl, thoughtfully arranged against a subdued backdrop of muted greys, greens, and mauves. Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has skilfully reduced the composition into simplified forms and blocks of overlapping shapes with contrasting colours, that demonstrate a sense of depth to the painting. The choice of colours is restrained yet impactful, offering a balance between contrast and cohesion. And the selection of muted shades adds a soothing feel to the work. The artist has used painterly, expressive brushstrokes that create a textured, layered appearance, allowing each object to possess a sculptural quality. This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with multiple profiles. 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.
