From the rare limited edition of 200 - Original lithograph in colors on paper - Hand signed and numbered by Lindstrom

Komposition by Bengt Lindström is a vivid lithograph from 1976, showcasing the artist's bold, expressive use of color and form. In this composition, two abstract figures—one in deep blue and the other in bright red—are entangled in an intense, almost confrontational interaction. The figure in blue, with glowing eyes and primitive, mask-like features, appears to dominate the red figure beneath it, creating a sense of power struggle or tension. Surrounding shades of green and purple add depth, enhancing the dramatic intensity of the scene. Lindström’s characteristic, almost primal style imbues the artwork with an emotional rawness, inviting viewers to interpret themes of conflict, dominance, and vulnerability.

Bengt Lindström (Sweden, 1925–2008) was a painter and sculptor celebrated for his bold, vibrant use of color and expressive, distorted faces. Influenced by Nordic mythology and Sámi culture, his dynamic works bridged modern expressionism and folkloric storytelling, cementing his legacy in 20th-century art.

- Bengt Lindstrom

Bengt Lindstrom is an artist from the Lapland area of Sweden. His early life in this place, where it is common to hear of the legends and tales of mystical beings, filled his artwork with a bold presence of color, form, shape, Lapp culture and shamanism. Known as an Impasto painter, his art also includes figurative works with distortion in the faces of his subjects. He has created numerous murals, outdoor paintings, glass and ceramic pieces, sculptures and lithographs. Bengt Lindstrom’s early art took inspiration from the Cubist movement. But after he moved to France, his experimentation with monsters, gods and masks moved his art loosely toward the COBRA group. Bengt Lindstrom saturated pure color palette remained distinct, with intense colors and unblended strokes of paint used throughout many of his pieces. Animal Sacre’ is one example characteristic of his bold paint strokes, intense color palette and figurative yet distorted face. An excellent representative of his outdoor murals is the one painted on the Akkas Dam Hydropower Station. He took part in the 1993 exhibition of glass art, “Grandi Vetri di Murano”. The art work of Bengt Lindstom is displayed in more than 38 major museums around the world. His pieces are also sold by prestigious galleries today. Many art experts consider his early life, lived with the influence of Laplanders, to be the essence and defining core of the entire body of his work. (Artist website)

What is the CoBrA movement?

CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.
