Lars Englund painting

Composition in mixed media on paper, signed and dated Lars Englund 1956. The work belongs to the concretist movement and features a geometric abstraction built from precise linear divisions and contrasting color fields in yellow, ochre, and black. The composition emphasizes balance between form and color through rhythmic patterning and transparency effects characteristic of post-war Scandinavian Concretism.

The painting presents a refined spatial play where planes overlap and intersect within a restrained yet dynamic framework. The use of line as structure and the carefully applied pigment demonstrate the artist’s technical control and awareness of contemporary European abstraction of the 1950s. The work retains the tactility of hand-drawn construction, where subtle irregularities soften the geometric strictness.

Executed on paper, the composition remains in very good condition with minor signs of aging consistent with its age. Framed in a minimal black frame with a wide white mount, highlighting the small-format composition and preserving its intimate scale.

Dimensions including frame: 27.5 × 2.5 × 36.5 cm (10.8 × 1 × 14.4 in).
