LARS-GUNNAR NORDSTRÖM – CENTENARY
2024-07-29This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Lars-Gunnar Nordström (1924–2014), a pioneer of Finnish post-war abstract art. To mark the occasion of the centenary, Galerie Forsblom takes pride in presenting an exhibition spanning many decades of his career. Nordström’s paintings and sculptures celebrate the universal properties of form, color and line, fusing these elements in meticulously planned order and carefully orchestrated harmonies. His compositions are distinctive for their dynamism, precision, and perfect command of color. His visual lexicon has the immaculate equilibrium of a mathematical formula. The mathematical character of his compositions also finds expression in their inherent spatiality, which stands as a distinctive hallmark of Nordström’s highly recognizable Concretist painting style.
Opposite – Sommitelma (sini-valko-musta), 1950-luku
