Oil on board
A striking contemporary abstract still life composition that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board and dated 1991 by British artist Romi Behrens (1939-2019).
The painting captures an abstract, minimalist arrangement of two distinct objects – a white pitcher and a violin – placed on a bright yellow bench and under a blue surface. With its striking colour, the yellow bench dominates as a focal point, energising the composition and contrasting against the dark black background.
The presence of grid lines in the background suggests a tiled wall, and it adds depth as well as enhances the geometric nature of the composition.
Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has deliberately reduced the objects into bold, simplified shapes and flat planes of colour. The use of thin black outlines further emphasises their shapes.
The brushstrokes are visible and lightly textured, giving the work an expressive feel. The overall intentional lack of intricate details invites the viewer to contemplate the form, colour, and symbolism of everyday objects.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary tray frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some minor age wear but is in good condition overall.
