Mid-Century Modern Swedish "Village by the Sea" Vintage Coastal Oil Painting, Framed

Village by the sea. Size: 61 X 69 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas. An inviting and delightful mid-century modernist style coastal landscape, executed in oil onto canvas. The composition presents a quaint village with colourful houses and lush greenery surrounding a gentle coastline. Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has used contrasting shades to give rise to the various forms, and has skilfully outlined each form in a dark hue to highlight its three-dimensional quality. Working boldly in his medium of oil, a combination of confident and expressive short brushstrokes have been used to depict the village and greenery, and smoother and softer strokes have been used to paint the blue sea, sky, and rocks. Overall, the beautiful earth tones imbue the work with a sense of warmth and a soothing quality. This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wide-profile distressed frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a nick to its top edge as shown in the close ups, but this is not noticeable from the front.
