City Blocks - Mid-Century Modern Swedish Oil

A fantastic mid-century abstract cityscape, executed in oil onto board. In this abstract composition, the artist has reconstructed a cityscape of buildings down to blocks of contrasting muted earthy colours, creating a sense of depth and space. The silhouettes of the respective forms have been highlighted with a bold outline, emphasising the shapes and contours of the city. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been confidently applied to the canvas, imbuing the scene with a lively quality, and the muted earthy tones create a sense of warmth. This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century linen-lined frame with an inner black and gilt window. the painting has some losses to its lower half, but the paint layer is stable.
