acrylic on paper, mounted on canvas - ca 1980
L'Attente by Bengt Lindström, created around 1980, is a vivid and expressive acrylic painting on paper mounted on canvas. The artwork features a bold palette of greens, blues, reds, and yellows that swirl and overlap, creating dynamic textures and movement. Lindström's characteristic brushstrokes are thick and gestural, lending the piece a sense of intensity and emotional depth. The central figure appears abstracted yet retains a discernible face and hands, seemingly caught in a moment of contemplation or waiting, as the title suggests. The heavy use of color and form embodies Lindström's unique expressionistic style, where human figures are imbued with a raw, almost primal energy. This work captures the essence of emotion through powerful color contrasts and fluid lines, reflecting Lindström’s fascination with the human psyche and primal states of being.

What is new figuration?

What is new figuration?

Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
