Size: 50 x 66.5 cm (including frame)
Oil on board
A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.
Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner. The architectural forms have been fragmented into angular, interlocking planes, and the cubist influence is evident in the faceted representation of buildings and their integration into the surrounding landscape.
The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including pastel shades that harmonise with deeper hues of brown and red. The subtle blending of colours creates a cohesive and atmospheric effect, while the subdued tones evoke a tranquil, contemplative mood.
The brushwork is expressive, with short, layered strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping strokes enhance the impression of architectural complexity and spatial rhythm.
This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited distressed style grey painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
