About the Item
SEATED IN THOUGHT
Size: 72 x 53 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
An expressive modernist style figurative oil painting that presents a contemplative and poised seated figure, rendered with bold, confident brushwork, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.
The subject, dressed in a muted green top, cropped blue trousers, and accented with a pale pink scarf, sits on a red-cushioned wooden chair. Their head is turned slightly to the side, the facial features left abstract, allowing posture and colour to convey mood.
The composition is set against a dynamic backdrop of vertical strokes in varying shades of blues and orange, creating a sense of depth and vibrancy. The artist has used thick, visible brushstrokes, lending the work a tactile quality and an impressionistic immediacy. The palette balances earthy neutrals with cooler blues and greens, punctuated by warmer reds and orange, creating both harmony and contrast.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small loss to its top right corner.
