Lars-Gunnar Nordström serigraph

This serigraph by Lars-Gunnar Nordström was created in 1968 and exemplifies the artist’s precise geometric abstraction characteristic of Finnish constructivism. The composition features a rhythm of intersecting vertical, horizontal, and circular elements rendered in vivid yellow, black, white, and grey tones. The sharp contrast between these colors generates a dynamic sense of movement and depth while maintaining a strict structural balance. Nordström’s work from this period is noted for its exploration of spatial relationships through minimal forms and bold chromatic juxtapositions.

Executed in serigraph (screen print) technique, the print demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship in its crisp edges and solid fields of color, typical of Nordström’s meticulous approach to graphic art. The image is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner and mounted within a light aluminum frame and neutral mat, allowing the composition to retain its optical clarity.

Lars-Gunnar Nordström (1924–2014) was a pioneer of Finnish concrete art and one of the leading figures of Scandinavian geometric abstraction. His work was deeply influenced by international constructivist and modernist movements, while remaining rooted in Nordic precision and restraint. Nordström sought to create visual harmony through pure form and color, without reference to natural or symbolic imagery.

The print remains in excellent vintage condition with only minor signs of age to the paper and frame. The surface retains its strong color saturation and clean presentation.
