Description
This oil on canvas by Per Bengtsson brings together overlapping planes of colour, whose shapes and structuring reminds us of the composition style of cubist-era artists. The background surface of mauve, a muted tone recognisably associated with colours used in mid-century painting, offers a sense of calmness among the more energetic areas of paint.
The overall composition is punctuated by solid lines that give structure and movement to the painting, guiding the eye to move around the canvas. This definitive and precise line work contrasts with fluid, dappled paint marks that create a sense of depth, texture and richness. These textured areas of reds and browns evoke a clay-like quality, whilst the cooler tones of blue and grey are reminiscent of worn metallic surfaces.
