Oil on board
A striking mid-century abstract cityscape rendered in a restrained muted palette, executed in oil onto board.
The painting captures an imagined urban landscape reduced to essential form and shadow. Angular blocks suggest rooftops, facades, and stacked buildings, layered tightly across a sloping terrain beneath a distant hill.
The artist has used deliberate, textured brushstrokes to create architectural weight and spatial tension. The colour scheme leans toward steely greys, deep charcoal, slate blue, and hints of taupe, giving the composition a quiet, contemplative tone. Despite its abstraction, the work holds a firm sense of structure and rhythm, reflecting mid-century modernist ideals of simplification and form.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.
