About the Item

PORT CONSTRUCT Size: 53 x 69.5 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A striking mid-century abstract painting that explores the structural rhythms of a harbour or port cityscape, rendered through a bold interplay of geometric forms and mirrored reflections, and executed in oil onto board. Angular shapes and intersecting planes suggest industrial architecture – perhaps cranes and bridges – set against a waterfront backdrop. The lower half of the canvas evokes the surface of water, softly reflecting the rigid structures above. Executed in thick, expressive brushstrokes, the artist has used a restrained yet dynamic palette of cool sea-blues, teal greens, soft greys, and sandy browns, punctuated by touches of deep navy and burnt orange. The paint is applied with a wide brush, producing a ridged texture that adds dimension and movement to the flattened forms. Reminiscent of the modernist abstraction of the 1950s and 60s, the work captures the tension between nature and industry, fluidity and form – an evocative study in balance and reflection. This oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited wood frame with a linen border. Both the 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.
