About the Item
BULLFIGHT IN MOTION
Size: 43.5 x 51 cm (including frame)
Oil on Canvas
An emotive and dynamic mid-century modernist composition that captures the dramatic spectacle of a bullfight scene, executed in oil onto canvas.
The subject matter focuses on the intense interaction between the two matadors standing confidently in vibrant red attire, and a bull charging forward with energy and strength.
The painting exhibits an impressionistic style, emphasising mood and movement over precise details. The brushwork is loose, gestural, and impasto-rich, with visible, dynamic strokes that convey the raw energy of the bullfight. The artist has applied thick, expressive dabs of paint in the background to portray the crowd in the bustling arena, creating a sense of distance and excitement. In the foreground, the figures are defined by swift, directional strokes that capture the tension and motion of the moment.
The colour palette is warm and earthy, dominated by shades of reds, browns, and sand. The red of the matadors’ capes contrasts strikingly with sand tones and with the darker shade of the bull, creating a focal point in the composition and emphasising the intensity of the scene.
This oil on canvas is housed in complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the linen border of the frame has some marks as shown.

This painting of four different species of fish that can be found in South Korea is from the mid-20th century Korean artist Kim Kyung. Seafood from both the seas that surround the peninsula and from its rivers are an integral part of the livelihood and cuisine of Koreans.
Kim Kyung (in Hanja, 金耕, in Hangul 김경) was born in South Korea, his real name, under the current Revised Romanization was Kim Gyeong-Eun (in Hanja 金萬斗, in Hangul 김경은). His name follows the East Asian convention of family name first, though some Western galleries choose to reorder his name with the Western convention as Kyung Kim. He was born in Hadong, Gyeongnam during the Imperial Japanese occupation, as the eldest son of a poor farm family, and at the age of 18 he entered the art department of Japan University. In 1943, he returned to his hometown to escape being drafted into the Japanese army...
