Mid-Century Modern Oil Painting "Neighbourhood Meet" Swedish Street Scene, Framed

Neighbourhood meet. Size: 47 X 59 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas. A very pleasant modernist oil street scene composition, painted by the established swedish artist stig wernheden (1921-1997), whose works have been represented at public collections in sweden including the moderna museet, malmö museum, snuff & match museum, ystad art museum and malmö city hall. The painting features a scenic neighbourhood setting lined with charming houses. Punctuating the middle of the composition, two figures are standing in the middle of the street, seemingly in conversation. The painting evokes a cool and relaxing quality, brought through the use of soft and precise brushstrokes, as well as a soothing and gentle palette of predominant cool blue and grey tones. This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited silver frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
