About the Item
Original abstract painting titled "Archipelago IV" by contemporary artist Nicolas Makelberge. The "Archipelago" series is a minimalist exploration stemming from the artist's formative college years in New England, a period defined by extensive travel across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. This experience, steeped in the region's stark beauty and enduring maritime spirit, translates into a series of highly distilled, reductive forms.
The composition, a study in negative space and essential geometry, evokes the isolated yet connected nature of the coastal islands—the archipelago. Deeply influenced by American Abstract Expressionist masters, the work embraces the spontaneous yet controlled line.
The limited palette and emphasis on texture capture the fleeting, often harsh, light of the North Atlantic. It’s a quiet, monumental abstraction of memory and geography.
Ink on organic Italian canvas, framed behind museum-grade acrylic glass in an waxed oak handmade frame.
36 x 41 cm (14.17 x 16.14 in)
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nicolas Makelberge (b.1976) is a Swedish artist renowned for his evocative artworks, reminiscent to the forces at play in the sky and the sea - his constant sources of inspiration.
His works are currently on display at the Audo House in Copenhagen, as well as at Minotti Showrooms in London and Stockholm.
The trajectory of Nicolas' artistic path was shaped by attending art school at an early age in Lund, Sweden (1996) as well as earning higher degrees in design in Rhode Island in the US (2005) and Porto, Portugal (2012).
The distinctiveness of his approach has earned him international recognition, with his art being featured in publications including ELLE Decor, Forbes and Harpers Bazaar as well as collaborations with high-end design companies around the world.
