About the Item
Frida Willis (Swedish, born 1971)
"Cold Fire" 2022
Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars
The artist signed the back of the painting.
“Cold Fire” is a commanding large-scale abstract defined by sweeping horizontal bands of saturated color and aggressive, gestural surface work. Deep blues and charcoal tones collide with fields of molten red and radiant yellow, creating a dynamic tension between heat and restraint that gives the work its title and emotional charge. Willis applies oil paint in dense, layered strokes, allowing scraped passages, embedded marks, and exposed underlayers to remain visible. The surface feels worked and physical, with movement coursing across the canvas like shifting weather or elemental forces. Color is used structurally rather than decoratively, organizing the composition into zones that pulse with energy and contrast.
Known for her large-scale abstractions, Willis explores the relationship between control and release, balance and disruption. In Cold Fire, the viewer is invited to experience the painting not as a fixed image but as an environment, one that changes with distance and light. The work’s scale amplifies its impact, making it an immersive statement piece suited for expansive interiors. Bold, expressive, and materially rich, “Cold Fire” exemplifies Frida Willis’s ability to transform raw gesture and color into a cohesive, emotionally resonant abstract composition.
About the Artist:
Frida Willis, a Swedish-born artist, discovered her passion for art at a young age, thanks to her mother's artistic influence. Frida followed her unfulfilled dreams, even if art was nothing that was taken seriously and not even talked about a lot in her little village of 3000. Her abstract works are large in scale, powerful in perception, and always both vibrant and extremely textured, allowing for a third degree when one is viewing them. Her works are ever-improving and filled with more and more emotion with each iteration.
The artist mentioned that the painting can be hung horizontally or vertically.

Frida Willis, the Swedish-born artist, unearthed her deep-seated passion for the world of art from a tender age, nurtured by her mother's profound artistic devotion. In a small village of 3000 souls, where art was scarcely taken seriously, and rarely whispered about, Frida forged her path, steadfastly pursuing her dreams. Fast forward to the present, and Frida's journey has led her to a place of recognition and reverence. Her abstract creations now grace the homes of The American Art Gallery's most esteemed patrons. Her oeuvre, marked by its sheer scale, evokes an overwhelming sense of presence and perception. Each piece pulsates with vibrant hues and intricate textures, inviting viewers to engage on a profound, almost tactile, level. Frida's artistry is an ever-evolving tapestry of emotion and creativity, a testament to her relentless pursuit of self-expression.
