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.
The piece uses the silhouettes and structures of plant life as a foundation for a non-representational composition.
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.
