Dominant colour
board, painting, is a paint by Oskar Friström, held at ethnographic museum.
This is a close-up portrait of an older man with a long white beard and dark skin. He’s wearing a loose white shirt and a brown vest, with a red-and-white cloth tied around his neck. The background is a plain, dark oval shape that makes his face stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on his beard and forehead, giving the painting a rough, almost sculpted look. His expression is serious, with deep-set eyes and a slightly furrowed brow. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Oskar Friström’s life is a quiet mystery, but his paintings hum with the low light of Swedish winters.
