Mid Century Modern Geometric Abstract Seascape Oil Painting - Nocturne Sail

1960s

About the Item

NOCTURNE SAIL Size: 40 x 56 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas An atmospheric mid-century geometric abstract painting that deconstructs the essence of a boat at sea into bold, angular planes and tonal contrasts, executed in oil onto canvas. Modernist in its ethos, the vessel appears anchored in a moody, segmented seascape rendered through a palette of smoky greys, deep charcoals, ivory, and earthy browns. The composition is structured with deliberate symmetry, as overlapping triangular forms evoke sails and hull, captured at rest under an overcast sky. The brushwork is dense and expressive, with thick, textured impasto strokes building surface tension and drama. Each section of the painting – sky, water, boat – remains distinct yet integrated within a grid-like framework, showcasing the artist’s mastery of form and abstraction. Minimalist yet deeply evocative, the painting invites quiet reflection on solitude, structure, and the sea. This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white-painted wood frame. 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. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible.
