A powerful and vividly colored work executed in the Cobra tradition. The painting depicts two figurative characters, reduced to primitive and almost childlike shapes, rendered with expressive brushstrokes and intense color contrasts in red, blue, green, and yellow. The spiral-shaped eyes and bold outlines emphasize the spontaneous and direct expression characteristic of Cobra artists’ rebellion against established modernism in the post-war era.
The composition radiates both energy and playful freedom, where form and color break free from classical rules and instead appeal to the instinctive and emotional. This makes the piece a lively example of the artistic spirit of the early 1960s, when the influence of the Cobra movement was still strongly present in Scandinavia and across Europe.
