About the Item

Oil on canvas. Original wooden frame. This striking abstract composition by Swedish artist Bertil Öhlund is executed in 1958, a period when his work became increasingly focused on geometric, non-figurative painting. With its sharp intersecting forms and strong contrast between color fields, the work reflects Öhlund’s interest in rhythm, balance, and precision within a modernist visual language. Öhlund was an important Swedish painter, draftsman, and graphic artist, educated in Stockholm and further influenced by extended stays abroad, particularly in France and Southern Europe. He gained early recognition through exhibitions in Sweden and internationally, and his abstract works remain central to his artistic legacy. A rare and confident example of Swedish postwar concrete abstraction.
