Oil on canvas

An engaging and dynamic mid-century abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

Abstract in nature, the painting focuses on form, colour, and texture over realistic depiction.

The palette is harmonious – with the dominant colour being a deep, earthy red, complemented by pale yellows, muted beige, white, and shades of grey. Black lines and forms provide contrast, adding structure and depth to the composition.

The brushstrokes are dynamic and varied, ranging from thick and textured to lighter and smooth strokes. This technique creates a sense of depth and movement, emphasising the tactile quality of the paint. The strokes in some areas are energetic and loose, suggesting spontaneity, while others are more deliberate, indicating a thoughtful layering process.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small mark of paint to the lower left corner but is in very good condition overall. See less
