An emotive and brilliantly executed mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
The composition depicts a toreador dressed in white, courageously waving a pink muleta at a charging bull. The presence of both figures are set against a backdrop of warm and muted shades of orange and red, evoking a sense of energy to the painting.
Executed in an abstract manner, the scene is rendered through a masterful reduction of form, where blocks of contrasting colours intersect to create depth and intensity. The limited yet rich palette, coupled with expressive brushstrokes, evokes a profound emotional resonance, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the drama and passion of the bullfighting spectacle.
This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited frame with an inner linen border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 36.5 x 46.5 cm (including frame)
