Mid-Century Modern Vintage Original Landscape Oil Painting - Rural Abstraction

1960s

About the Item

RURAL ABSTRACTION Size: 46.5 x 78.5cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A large and captivating mid-century landscape painting that presents a dynamic interplay between abstraction and representation, executed in oil onto canvas. The painting presents a rural landscape dominated by an angular, white structure – likely a house or barn – set against rugged terrain. The composition balances organic and geometric forms, emphasising the contrast between man-made and natural elements. The piece embodies elements of abstract expressionism, blending gestural and textured brushstrokes with semi-representational forms. The fragmented, layered approach to the structure hints at collage techniques, while the landscape itself is rendered through broad, sweeping gestures. Earthy tones dominate the palette, with yellows, browns, and deep greens forming the background and landscape. The structure itself is highlighted with whites and light greys, accented by touches of muted blue. The artist has used expressive, textured brushwork, layering thick and thin applications of paint. Loose, bold strokes define the landscape, while the structure features more deliberate, angular marks, emphasising the contrast between organic scenery and constructed form. The brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and depth, giving the impression of a weathered, windswept setting. This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to bottom left frame corner, but it is in good condition otherwise.
