Mid Century Modern Swedish Figurative Oil Painting - Abstract Figure in Blue

1960s

About the Item

ABSTRACT FIGURE IN BLUE Size: 73 x 59.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A striking mid-century modernist abstract painting that presents a fragmented and abstracted seated figure, rendered through a dynamic interplay of geometric and organic forms. The composition is a fusion of bold shapes and layered textures, evoking a sense of movement and depth. Executed in oil, the piece prominently features a cool-toned palette dominated by deep blues, blacks, and whites, with touches of cream and green adding warmth and contrast. The brushstrokes are expressive and varied, ranging from thicker strokes to more fluid, gestural applications, creating a rich textural surface. The style aligns with mid-century abstraction, where figuration is suggested rather than explicitly defined. The figure emerges from an interplay of overlapping planes, lending a cubist influence to the composition. The result is a visually compelling piece that balances structure and spontaneity. This oil on board is framed in a light wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.
