About the Item
THE RAIL YARDS AT DUSK
Size: 66 x 79 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.
As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.
Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.
The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some loss as shown.
