Anders Appelkvist (1958) - Surreal Strawberry

Offered is a striking and visually engaging lithograph by Swedish artist Anders Appelkvist, known for combining realism with imaginative and symbolic elements.

The artwork features two oversized, highly detailed strawberries placed on either side of the composition. Between them, a ribbon-like form twists vertically, intersected by a horizontal bar that subtly forms a cross-like structure. A small insect hovers in the upper area, adding a sense of life and scale to the scene.

The contrast between the hyper-realistic strawberries and the abstract, symbolic central form creates a surreal and thought-provoking composition. The background is expressive and painterly, with dynamic brushstrokes in green and blue tones, enhancing depth and movement.

Anders Appelkvist is recognized for his detailed and atmospheric works, often rooted in realism but with elements that move toward symbolism and surrealism. His art frequently explores contrasts between nature and constructed forms, combining technical precision with imaginative concepts. His works are appreciated for their clarity, balance, and visual impact.

This piece reflects Appelkvist’s ability to merge realism with conceptual depth, resulting in a composition that is both decorative and intellectually engaging.

A bold and collectible work by a respected Swedish artist, ideal for collectors of modern Scandinavian art or those drawn to surreal and symbolic compositions.
