Signed lithograph by Jussi Taipaleenmäki, numbered and from the 1990s, depicting a figurative interior scene inspired by songs by Cornelis Vreeswijk.

A narrative figurative composition showing a seated woman in an intimate interior, holding a mirror while overlooking an industrial harbor landscape. The scene balances sensuality and quiet reflection, with symbolic elements such as the mirror, flowers, and distant figures adding depth and atmosphere.

This lithograph is part of a series inspired by songs by Cornelis Vreeswijk, and visually relates to Ballad om herr Fredrik Åkare och den söta fröken Cecilia Lind. The composition reflects the poetic tension between intimacy and observation that characterizes Vreeswijk’s storytelling.

Printed as a lithograph on paper, this work demonstrates the artist’s characteristic use of soft tonal transitions combined with defined line work. The surface shows subtle texture typical of lithographic printing, enhancing both color depth and detail.

The composition has strong decorative appeal, combining figurative subject matter with a distinctive Nordic visual language. It works well as a focal point in living spaces, particularly in interiors that favor characterful and narrative wall art. A signed lithograph with clear visual presence, suitable for collectors of Scandinavian graphic art.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jussi Taipaleenmäki (born 1948 in Oulu, Finland) is a painter, printmaker, and sculptor who later settled in Sweden. His work is known for its imaginative and unconventional character, often combining figurative elements with symbolic and narrative content.

His early life was highly unusual, living independently from a young age, which contributed to a strong sense of individuality and creative freedom. While working at a paper mill, he began experimenting with wax marking crayons on industrial paper, developing a distinctive and expressive technique later referred to as “Jussi-ism.”

Taipaleenmäki’s graphic works are recognized for their inventive compositions and emotional depth, placing him within a unique position in Scandinavian graphic art.
