About the Item

THE CHILDREN Size: 36.5 x 66 cm (including frame) Oil on board A richly textured and endearing mid century modernist style figurative portrait, painted in oil onto board. Rendered in an expressionist manner, the artwork depicts 5 young figures, presumably children, of which each respective form has been outlined in black in a sketch-like manner. The artist has used a unique sepia tone palette with hints of green, blue and grey. Expressive and unrestrained brushstrokes have been loosely applied and layered upon one another, adding interest and a raw and textural quality to the painting. This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
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...
