A compelling mid-century abstract composition that centres around a loosely defined vessel form, its presence suggested through layered gestures rather than strict delineation, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

The composition feels both grounded and fluid: anchored by a bold yellow mass in the lower centre, which evokes the solidity of a bowl or container, while surrounding shapes drift and dissolve into one another with a sense of quiet movement. Above, softened circular forms: one pale, one touched with a vivid yellow hint at light sources or distant suns, lending the work a subtle, atmospheric rhythm.

The style is distinctly painterly and intuitive, characteristic of mid-century abstraction where form emerges through process. The artist embraces a balance between control and spontaneity, allowing the composition to unfold organically across the canvas. There is a sculptural quality to the arrangement, with layered planes and overlapping gestures creating depth without relying on perspective.

The colour palette is beautifully restrained yet expressive. Earthy browns, warm beige, and muted greys form the backbone of the piece, complemented by passages of soft, powdery blue and lifted by striking accents of saturated yellow. These brighter notes punctuate the composition, drawing the eye and energising the otherwise calm tonal field.

Brushwork is confident and varied: broad, sweeping strokes sit alongside more deliberate, textured applications of paint. Areas of visible bristle marks reveal the artist’s hand, while thicker impasto sections add weight and tactility. Edges are often blurred or scraped back, suggesting revision and movement, and reinforcing the sense that the painting is as much about process as it is about form.

This oil on canvas is present in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and very striking mid-century geometric abstract composition, painted in oil in 1955  by the established Swedish artist Bror Ingemar Fröberg (1921-1999), whose artworks have been represented in the Moderna Museum in Stockholm and the Sörmland Museum.

The painting is built from a dynamic network of interlocking shapes and angled planes. Triangles, diamonds, and irregular quadrilaterals converge and diverge across the canvas, creating a sense of movement that feels architectural. Though non-representational, the arrangement evokes rhythm, structure, and balance.

Executed in a geometric abstract style, the work relies on strong linear boundaries and clearly defined colour fields. The composition feels meticulously plotted, yet there is a softness to some of the edges that lends a human, hand-painted warmth. The overlapping forms create layers of depth and subtle spatial tension, typical of mid-century abstraction.

The colour palette is earthy and muted, and these grounded tones harmonise beautifully together. The balance of darker masses against lighter areas adds contrast and energy.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with solid blocks of colour applied in smooth, even strokes. Slight variations in texture and faint visible brush trails keep the surface engaging

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some light surface marks but overall, the surface still presents well, and these characteristics do not detract from the artwork’s visual impact.
