About the Item

This captivating British St. Ives School abstract landscape is a striking example of mid-20th-century artistic innovation, seamlessly blending geometric abstraction with the natural inspiration of Cornwall’s rugged coastline. The dynamic interplay of bold lines, vibrant colors, and layered textures evokes a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of the St. Ives School’s avant-garde approach to landscape representation. The composition invites contemplation, drawing the viewer into a world where the boundaries between realism and abstraction dissolve.

Interior designers will find this artwork to be an extraordinary statement piece. Its vibrant palette and bold composition bring energy and sophistication to contemporary interiors, while its connection to the natural world ensures it remains harmonious in more traditional settings. Whether displayed in a modern living space or a minimalist gallery wall, this painting commands attention and sparks conversation. For those who appreciate the pioneering spirit of abstract art, this St. Ives School piece is more than a painting—it is a celebration of innovation and the enduring allure of the British landscape.

Contemporary British Abstract Landscape Framed Oil Painting - Urban Landscape
Located in Bristol, GB
URBAN LANDSCAPE Size: 38.5 x 53.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A brilliantly executed semi- abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood. The artist works in broad, expressive strokes, filling in the urban scene with a cacophony of colour. We see areas of the canvas as well as the artist’s outlines, giving it a very raw quality, emphasising the uncompromising nature of the urban landscape. This oil on board is housed in a complementary light blue frame with an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition. About the artist: Ian Mood is a contemporary artist with an international reputation, having shown work with Saatchi London, Brooklyn Art Library, Battersea Art Fair & Manchester Art Fair – as well as being represented by numerous established galleries in the UK and US.
