About the Item

THE BUSTLING MARKET Size: 46.5 x 54 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A charming and lively 20th century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1994. This painting is a lively, stylised market scene. The composition is structured with clear spatial organization and bold colour blocks, using a bird’s-eye view to depict the bustling activity. Market stalls and vans are arranged throughout the square, painted in vivid colours like green, red, and orange. Figures of vendors and shoppers are loosely rendered with minimal detail, emphasizing movement and atmosphere over realism. At the centre is a small circular fountain, anchoring the composition. The paved plaza is painted in cool shades of blue and white, contrasting with the warm, saturated tones of produce and vehicles. Brushwork is loose and expressive, with a soft handling of light and shadow. The scene conveys a sense of sunny midday energy and community life, blending structure with spontaneity. Despite the simplified style, it captures the essence of a busy open-air market, full of colour, activity, and everyday charm. The painting is presented in a very well made gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.
