Gunnar Fohlin, Swedish painter and printmaker. Oil on cardboard. Horizontally composed work. 1979. cod Hilkka Säynäjärvi for ArabiaGunnar Fohlin, Sweden. Oil on cardboard, 1979. A horizontally composed work, where bands of blue and green run parallel, evoking the horizon lines of a landscape. The carefully balanced tones and strongly textured surface give the painting a sensory presence, while its geometric structure retains a distinctly modernist rigor. The piece exemplifies Fohlins ability to transform the rhythms of nature into tightly controlled yet lyrical color fields.
