About the Item

Frida Willis (Swedish, born 1971) "Untitled" 2021 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars The artist signed the back of the painting. This untitled abstract by Frida Willis is driven by density, rhythm, and the physical weight of paint. Built through layered applications and repeated vertical passages, the surface carries a sense of accumulation rather than depiction. Scraped, dragged, and reworked marks reveal earlier decisions beneath the top layer, creating a dynamic tension between structure and disruption. Deep reds, blacks, whites, and muted neutrals interlock across the canvas, forming a composition that feels architectural yet visceral, ordered yet unsettled. The vertical elements suggest columns, barriers, or figures without resolving into representation, allowing the work to remain open and interpretive. Texture plays a central role; thick passages of paint catch light differently across the surface, rewarding close viewing and emphasizing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas. Frida Willis is known for her materially driven abstract works that explore memory and strong emotions. Rather than aiming for immediacy or polish, her paintings embrace process, revision, and restraint. This work reflects her commitment to abstraction as a lived, intuitive practice, one that values depth, complexity, and quiet intensity over overt narrative. It stands as a compelling example of contemporary abstraction rooted in gesture, surface, and sustained looking. 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.
