Add a pop of yellow with this lovely still life pastel and mixed media drawing by listed Swedish Artist, M Kihlman. Signed by the artist bottom right and dated 1999.
Style: Contemporary Scandinavian Modernism.
Yellow Still Life with Bottle and Vessel
Kihlman is known for his exploration of light and form through simplified still life objects, as shown in this abstract piece. We love the warm, atmospheric glow of the objects against the dark ground, which gives this a luminous composition.
Housed in a clean, natural wood frame that complements the artwork's minimalist aesthetic.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition, colours remain vivid. The frame shows minimal wear, consistent with age and use.
Kihlman is a well-regarded figure in European graphic arts and painting, making this an excellent addition for collectors of modern Scandinavian art.
