1973 Mid-Century Modern Swedish "In the Shadows" Nude Oil Painting, Framed

In the shadows. Size: 37 X 29 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas. An emotive and visually captivating abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1973. Small yet impactful, a standing abstracted figure punctuates the center of the composition. The figure is skilfully defined with subtle black outlines that emphasize its silhouette. The use of these outlines adds a sense of distinction to the composition. The figure stands boldly against a backdrop of muted greys and blues, which has been executed with broad and expressive brushstrokes. These brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and emotion, and the limited and somber palette of greys and blues evokes a sense of melancholia. This oil on canvas is housed in a slim silver frame which complements the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs.
