Original artwork details: KUUSI by Terese Andersson acrylic on canvas 33x41x2.1cm 2019
A rhythmic distillation of the northern forest
In this 2019 acrylic work, Andersson explores the verticality of the forest through a focused, portrait-oriented lens. The composition moves away from literal representation, instead using the medium of acrylic on canvas to build a tactile surface where the suggestion of a tree—the 'Kuusi' or spruce—emerges from a series of deliberate, abstract marks. The small scale of the canvas, measuring 33 by 41 centimeters, creates an intimate encounter with the artist's process, inviting a close reading of how light and shadow play across the painted textures.
The piece functions as a bridge between traditional landscape and modern abstraction. By isolating botanical elements against a structured background, Andersson captures the rhythmic patterns found in the wild. The work avoids the vastness of a panoramic view, opting instead for a grounded, singular observation that emphasizes the physical presence of the paint and the organic geometry of the woods.
Natural plant forms are reimagined as abstract geometric shapes and vibrant color blocks.
Rather than a wide vista, this work treats the landscape as a close-up, vertical study of a singular environment.
Andersson exploits the fast-drying nature of the medium to build a complex, physical surface that retains the energy of its application.
