About the Item
Introducing a beautifully gripping post-war oil painting by British artist Joseph Duncan. Within this intense expressionistic work, the powerful use of colors ranging from dark green and blue to striking hues of red and yellow, interweaved with splashes of silver paint, renders a captivating and evocative effect on the viewers.
There are parallels and similarities within this painting that can be drawn to the CoBrA movement, which was prevalent during the same time Joseph Duncan was settled in Paris. With his painting technique, Duncan creates a unique effect where signs, heads, flowers, and eyes appear in the spots and splashes, creating a dramatic and thrilling visual experience.
This oil painting is countersigned by the artist with the signature "Duncan" located in the front lower right of the painting. On the reverse side of the canvas, it is signed "Joseph Duncan" and is dated "67-69". The painting is titled "Owl by night" and "21 Rue Michel le Comte 3rd arr.", which is a reference to a Parisian street with the equivalent name in the Marais district. The painting is made with oil paint on paper which is then mounted on top of canvas.
The painting is elegantly displayed in a bespoke floating frame that compliments its details. The unframed dimensions are 73cm x 50cm/28.7in x 19.6in, while the framed dimensions are 86cm x 63cm/33.8in x 24.8in. The painting is in good condition and is ready to hang.
Joseph Duncan (1920) was born in London and honed his skills at the Slade School of London from 1944-1949. He went on to teach at the Guilford School of Art, and in the 1950s, traveled extensively to France and Italy to showcase his art. He developed a deep connection with the regions of Vance in the South of France, Paris, Milan, and Sardinia before finally settling in the picturesque district of Marais, Paris.

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman.
In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues.
Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish.
Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...

Jack Knox RSA (1936-2015) was one of the most influential artists to work in Scotland in the second half of the twentieth century. Born John Knox to a family of tailors in Kirkintilloch, Knox studied at the Glasgow School of Art (1953-57) where his drawings were noted for their mature draughtsmanship. After graduating, Knox went to Paris to attend the atelier of Cubist artist, André L’Hȏte. During his time in Europe Knox digested the various art movements of the moment, including Surrealism, Tachisme, Colour Field and Pop Art. Visiting the great museums, he was particularly interested in Analytic Cubism and Georges Braque’s intimation, rather than description, of object. He also went to Brussels to visit the first major show of American Abstract Expressionism in Europe. He returned to Scotland eager to establish his own style, drawing on everything he had seen in Europe. In 1960 the Glasgow Herald presented an exhibition during the Edinburgh Festival of young artists from the west of Scotland. Knox was selected to show alongside George Devlin, Carole Gibbons, Anda Patterson, Douglas Abercrombie and Duncan...
