Beautiful Velvet Vintage Swedish Tapestry Rug by Pierre Olofsson, Country Of Origin: Sweden, Circa Date: Mid-20th Century – Gripping colors, flying shapes and expressive overlays give this dramatic mid-century vintage Swedish tapestry rug a vibrant, symphonic presence that conveys Pierre Olofsson’s artistic personality. Adapted from the popular work “Flick Flack,” this splendid vintage mid-century Swedish tapestry is an textile art re-creation that embodies the artist’s signature elliptical style. This Swedish tapestry features dramatic line-based forms sweep across the composition in a spiraling hyperbolic motion. Overlapping shapes, shaded colors and strategic shadows create a dazzling op-art illusion together. This extraordinarily modern and artistically original creation gains a fanciful retro flavor through the luxurious velvet “pile”, which gives the usual brushstroke details and painterly surfaces a chic, matte surface with superb color intensity. Ideal for a modern interior or art collection, this artistic Swedish tapestry is a fabulous representation of Olofsson’s unique style, which helped shaped Sweden’s modern art movement.
