The Brook

A wonderfully expressive midcentury Swedish landscape, where an expansive, cloud-filled sky meets a patchwork of olive-green fields and a winding passage of pale, silvery water. Painted with generous, confident strokes of thick impasto, the composition finds its character in the movement of the paint itself, with sweeping passages of ivory, soft grey, charcoal and ochre yellows creating an almost sculptural surface. There is a distinctly modernist sensibility to the work, balancing abstraction with just enough suggestion of the natural landscape. Signed by the artist and presented in a simple, warm gilt frame, it is an understated yet wonderfully tactile piece, bringing a sense of openness, movement and quiet drama to an interior. Keep out of direct sunlight and gently dust with a soft cloth. Please note this item is final sale.
