About the Item

EMBRACE IN BLUE Size: 56.5 x 47.5 cm (including frame) Oil on Board An emotive and serene mid-century modernist figurative composition, executed in oil on board, and dated 1983 on reverse. The painting captures a poignant moment of maternal love as it feature a female figure cradling a baby. As the figure in a blue dress and with blue hair is seated on a blue chair, blending into the cobalt blue backdrop, the artist has thoughtfully chosen a monochrome blue theme – symbolising calmness and serenity. This oil on board is housed in a complementary silver painted frame with a wide inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some general scuffing but this is in keeping with its vintage quality. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible.

Located in Bristol, GB
WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
