Oil on canvas

A striking and richly textured mid-century abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
Although abstract in nature, the painting captures a densely clustered mass of vertical forms that suggest a gathering of figures in motion.

The artist has used thick impasto and gestural, almost sculptural brushstrokes to create a palpable sense of depth and emotional intensity. Faces and bodies seem to emerge from the paint, rendered with a raw immediacy that is both haunting and poetic.
The palette is earthy and muted – browns, greys and beige – with punctuations of orange, evoking both the solemnity and vitality of the human condition. The work feels deeply emotive, bordering on the surreal, and invites contemplation on themes of community, anonymity, and collective memory.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. See less
