Hans Viksten Mallorca Oil Painting 1962 Framed

About the Item

Hans Viksten’s oil painting from 1962 titled MALLORCA (signed on back) is a striking summer depiction of a Mediterranean memory. The Swedish maestro has a gestural quality to his paint strokes that feel very vivid, expressive and alive. I love his work and own several of his paintings during his larger sized painting era in the 1960’s. The quality of life in this work is important something you can taste - it has an evocative nature and dreamlike feeling. A Swedish outlier, Hans Viksten studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and was later a professor at the Stockholm Academy of arts. His work intersects through many different mediums but has always been referred too as a ‘fantasy painter’ with motifs inspired by Swedish forests, lakes, and ridges - cloaked with a layer of mystery. He is an incredible storyteller virtuoso that blended poetic descriptions into his paintings but mostly they were accompanied by them.. a sort of hand in hand love letter to his country, and in this case - to Spain.

  • Chiara Lamp by FLOS - 1960's EARLY EDITION - Original Mario Bellini
    By Flos, Mario Bellini
    Located in Vancouver, BC
    A cult object from the 60s, As well as an early edition by Flos - Manufactured in the 1960's. Chrome-plated metal, enameled metal. Takes one E27 100W maximum bulb. This has Original European wire but has been Re-wired for North American outlets. Chiara brilliantly combines its explosive simple design - it was made from a single steel sheet, cut and rolled up in a cylinder - with a charismatic and highly evocative shape: similarly to a nun with a large coronet that diffuses the light. On top of that, Mario Bellini names it Chiara, similarly to the saint of Assisi, founder of the order of the Poor Clares, who embraced Franciscan poverty. For the architect and designer, one of the most influential personalities on the creative scene, a great experimenter and intuitive designer (winner of eight Compassi d'Oro awards, 25 of his pieces are part of the permanent collection of the MoMa, he invented the P101 for Olivetti - the first personal computer – the director of Domus '86-'91 and much more), Chiara is the result of research begun in 1968 with paper models, for a lamp with diffused and reflected light and a hidden light bulb. Biography of Mario Bellini; Born in Milan in 1935, Bellini attended the Politecnico di Milano for a degree in architecture. He graduated in 1959, and from the very beginning of his career his prominence increased rapidly. From 1959 to 1962, Mario Bellini managed the design department of the Italian department store La Rinascente, and in 1963, he served as chief design consultant for Olivetti, a role that he retained until 1993. Also in 1963, Bellini opened his own design studio, Studio Bellini, and created an array of innovative Italian furniture design pieces, such as the 932 leather armchair designed for Cassina in 1964. In 1970, Mario Bellini designed the Colonato table...
