Oil on board

A soothing modernist painting that depicts a stylised horizon where three houses rest quietly in the distance, painted in oil onto board and dated 1970.

The scene is reduced to bold horizontal bands of colour, evoking the sweep of open fields, sky, and distant land. The houses appear as simplified, block-like forms – dark silhouettes accented with white and red – standing in quiet contrast against the rich layers of the landscape.

Executed in a modernist style, the work emphasises abstraction and rhythm over detail, distilling the essence of farmland into pure forms.

The brushwork is measured and horizontal, with deliberate layering that builds subtle depth while maintaining a calm and minimalist aesthetic. The simplicity of line and form imbues the painting with a contemplative, timeless quality.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary off-white painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.
