Original Swedish Modernist Oil on Canvas – City Rooftops By G. Axelsson – Signed – Mid‑20th Century – Vintage & Framed – 65.5 × 54.5 cm (25.8" × 21.5") incl. frame
An original Swedish modernist oil painting on canvas by G. Axelsson, signed lower left. Depicting a dense urban district from an elevated perspective, the composition transforms rooftops into a rhythmic arrangement of angles, colour fields, and intersecting lines. The vibrant palette of cobalt blue, brick red, violet, and soft green tones creates a dynamic and visually engaging cityscape. Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work reflects the energy and structure of mid‑20th‑century Scandinavian painting. Presented framed, the painting remains in good vintage condition.
