The Cockerel

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style still life composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974) whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

Working under a largely modernist ethos and containing elements of abstraction and cubism, the artist has skilfully deconstructed and simplified the scene down to geometric shapes and colour blocks, rather than focus on realistic detail.

A limited colour palette of muted tones—such as blue, grey, beige, and white—accentuated by vivid reds for the figurine’s comb and beak, have been used. This helps to create a balanced contrast, as well as create depth and space within the picture.

The brushstrokes are expressive and visible, adding a light tactile quality to the piece.

Geometric Fun

Sold

SOLD

A very unique original abstract artwork, made up of paper that has painted, embroidered and then stitched together.

The paper has been stitched to create a three dimensional form that is mounted onto board and protected behind glass. The paper has been painted with an abstract composition using acrylic paint, and each alternating strip has been painted with different colours. As a result, the artwork changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. If viewed from the right, we see a geometric patterning of red, black and yellow. When viewed from the left, a series of angled lines criss-cross across the lighter coloured surface. Although it is technically a static piece, we have in fact a very dynamic artwork that changes constantly. The paper itself has also been embroidered with an intricate pattern which gives it textured detail, visible when viewed closely.

The artwork is presented in a black frame and protected behind glass. It is in very good condition. Ready to hang.

Grounded

Sold

SOLD

A wonderfully executed mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

In this atmospheric composition, the artist has applied the paint thickly, creating lots of areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) and variation in texture. Depicting what appears to be a rural landscape, the lower section of the painting has richer, earthier colours in broad sweeping brushstrokes . This juxtaposes against the lighter top half of the painting which has been painted in a mixture of white and lilac, with hints of blue underneath, alluding to the depth of layers within the painting.

There is a really earthy quality to the piece, and its abstract subject makes it an easy fit into most interiors.

The painting is housed in a silver leaf wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
