Large Mid Century Oil Painting by listed artist Richard Björklund from Sweden. A striking modernist interior successfully broken down into bold geometric shapes. Beautiful use of warm and cool colours. A solid composition with depth and excellent use of line with confident brushwork. The interplay of light, shadow and pattern creates depth, and rhythm giving the piece a quietly dramatic feel. A lovely example of mid century art! A spectacular oil by a well known and highly collectible artist. Shipping to the US to the US included. If shipping to other countries please contact us about additional shipping charges.
