Vintage lithograph print by Ib Geertsen (1919-2009). Presented in its original timber + glass frame. Signed and numbered.

Ib Geertsen was a Danish painter, born in Copenhagen in 1919. Geertsen’s professional life underwent a number of crucial changes: first training as a gardener, he later practiced professionally as a painter; initially inspired by traditional, early 20th century paintings, he later established a name for himself as a proponent of “Konkret”, or ‘concrete art’, in Scandinavia. He was awarded the Eckersberg Medal In 1978 and the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1991.

Concrete art is a form of abstract art, defined by Tate as “entirely free of any basis in observed reality” and as having “no symbolic meaning.” Rather than pointing to any - ironically - concrete explanation, Geertsen’s art focuses on being at once visually striking and producing a sense of joy in its playful colours and shapes. The bright interplay of the orange and yellow here, as well as the slightly off-kilter square, both attract the gaze of and disorientate the onlooker.
