Ian Mood Paintings

SUMMER ABSTRACTION Size: 65.5 x 65.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A very atmospheric abstract coastal scape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood. Inspired by coastlines, this expansive abstract painting captures the essence of sea, sky and rain, and has a meditative quality. There is a sense of being awash – awash by colour, by nature, by the air, and by the sea. As our eyes move across the painting, the movement of the brushstrokes and the style of the drips and colour wash absorb our attention and settle our mind. This oil on board is housed in a complementary light blue frame with an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition. About the artist: Ian Mood is a contemporary artist with an international reputation, having shown work with Saatchi London, Brooklyn Art Library, Battersea Art Fair & Manchester Art Fair – as well as being represented by numerous established galleries in the UK and US. He recently held his first solo show in New York.

He was awarded the Artists Association of Nantucket Frank Swift Chase...

SUMMER CLOUDS Size: 65.5 x 65.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board An outstanding and atmospheric abstract coastal scape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood. The vast expanse of a magnificent sky dominates the middle and background of the painting. Broad and expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed in various shades of blue, white, and orange, creating a mesmerising dance of colours that captures the essence of the dynamic and ever-changing atmospheric conditions. A coastline takes up the foreground of the artwork, brought forth through the use of rich colours and horizontal sweeping brushstrokes. The overall colours and brushstrokes in the painting convey a sense of awe and serenity, inviting us to take a moment and appreciate the beauty of nature that surrounds us. This oil on board is housed in a complementary light blue frame with an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
