About the Item

Colin Ruffell is an English painter of interiors, cityscapes, and many other unique subjects. This bold and evocative 1970s painting by English artist Colin Ruffell captures a nostalgic yet timeless scene featuring an old-fashioned record player, a port decanter, and a wine glass. Its rich, earthy palette and strong lines exude a sense of warmth and intimacy, making it a striking addition to any art collection. Ruffell’s unique, abstracted style blends elements of cubism with pop art, offering a modern twist on traditional still life. For art collectors, this piece is an opportunity to own a work from a notable English painter whose career spans decades and reflects the shifting art movements of the late 20th century. The painting’s textured surface and carefully composed design invite a closer look, adding depth and character to any room. Interior designers will appreciate its versatility; the artwork’s warm tones and engaging subject matter make it an ideal accent for spaces seeking a touch of vintage charm or mid-century modern flair. Collectors who appreciate art that blends nostalgia with a modern aesthetic will find this painting especially appealing. Ruffell’s playful take on everyday objects imbues them with an iconic status, transforming the record player and glassware into symbols of leisure and relaxation. This work is not only a visual delight but also a conversation piece, evoking an era when music and fine port went hand in hand with sophisticated, leisurely evenings. The piece has a small simple wood frame which is original to the piece.
