Verdant Echoes

SOLD

A striking and emotive mid-century abstract composition painted in oil onto canvas, by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The painting invites the viewer into a dynamic interplay of layered greens, icy blues, and deep emerald hues. Sweeping diagonals and overlapping forms create a sense of movement and quiet tension, evoking natural forms without direct representation. At its core, the painting pulses with organic vitality – its soft jade and moss tones offset by the smoky depth of midnight green and slate.

The brushstrokes vary in texture and direction, with areas of thick impasto contrasting with smoother, almost scraped-back planes. Textural accents and faint gestural arcs emerge through the surface, suggesting a hidden geometry or memory. With a palette both cool and contemplative, Verdant Echoes reflects the era’s fascination with abstraction as emotional landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of paint but the paint layer is very stable overall.
