Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Born in Copenhagen, Ruben Gelardi was the son of painter Herdis Gelardi. He debuted his work in 1950 at Trefoldigheden with a solo exhibition of landscapes, cityscapes, installations and portraits. In 1954, Gelardi was one of the youngest of the time to be admitted to the painting school at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.

This oil on canvas brings together a number of distinctive characteristics that can be found throughout Gelardi’s body of work, from the use of richly pigmented colour to the textural application of paint. The composition is formed through a subtle grid structure that we can see through the vertical objects that reach across the canvas and the horizontal lines formed by furniture and wall markings.

Speaking about the artist in 2012, architect Lars-Erik Ejlers said, “Ruben Gelardi is what I would call 'the born artist' - that is, born with a natural talent and a brush in his hand. He painted in what could be called a 'French tradition' based on what the eye sees.”
