Artist Name: Martin Ocana (Original Artwork - Listed Artist) Dates: 20th Century Signature/Date/Other: Signed boldly in orangy red in the lower left hand corner (Martin Ocana) Probably painted in about the 1950s/1960s. Nationality: Spanish Subject or Title: Seems to be a surrealist view of the edge of a town at twilight (just as the sun is rising), with water in the foreground. Size/Sight: 15 1/2" x 12" Frame: A very unique and fancy frame - appears to be hand carved for the piece; 24" x 21 1/2" framed size Media: Oil on Canvas Condition: A few very small chips of paint missing. Liner could use replacing and the edging between the frame and liner could be cleaned perhaps with a solvent. On the back seems to be a price tag of 1200. Back of canvas is sealed with paper and looks to be original. It is believed it could be much brighter if cleaned, but currently provides more of a mood perhaps along the lines of the actual scene - which is believed to be a city at dusk situated on the edge of a river. Comments/Other: Listed Spanish Surrealist Oil Painting Martin Ocana. His work is said to be very much in the modernist surreal urban style that was popular around the world during the late 1960s and the 1970s, as it still is today. Martin Ocana is a well-known Spanish painter, working in Malaga and Torremolinos during the mid 20th century. His work is often of city scenes with figures and always has an element of mystery and movement. His paintings are sold at auctions and galleries and he is listed in art references, including ArtPrice and Davenport's Art Reference and Price Guide. This painting is quite interesting both in composition and technique. We have seen other pieces of his work and feel this stands head and shoulders above all the others. A very unique piece is subject and color and an interesting hand carved (?) ornate frame (natural wood). Two of the photos which show just the artwork, one is as photographed and the other one is lightened a bit to show what it may look like if lit with a light to show off all the subtle color that exists; cleaning it might also make it pop more. Better photos may be obtained if there is interest. ---------------------------------------
