“Fisherman” by Gunnar Fohlin, 1975

Original Mid-Century Swedish Vintage Oil on Canvas “Fisherman” by Gunnar Fohlin, 1975 – Signed 54 x 75 cm (21.3" x 29.5")

A contemplative maritime scene by Swedish artist Gunnar Fohlin, Fisherman captures the quiet dignity of coastal labor. Painted in 1975, the canvas features a solitary figure poised near the water’s edge, rendered in soft tones and stylized brushwork. Fohlin’s late modernist approach blends realism with abstraction, evoking both the physicality of work and the emotional solitude of the sea. The composition’s scale and mood make it a compelling piece for collectors drawn to Nordic coastal narratives.
