Oil on board

A mid-century modernist harbour scene that captures the liveliness of a bustling port through an abstracted lens, executed in oil onto board.

The composition features stylised boats with tall masts, cranes, and sails, all arranged in a rhythmic balance that evokes both movement and stillness. A triangular sail anchors the right side of the canvas, while geometric ship structures rise on the left, framed against a luminous sky.

The artist has used a modernist, semi-abstract style, reducing forms to simplified shapes and colour blocks while maintaining recognisable nautical motifs. The colour palette is fresh and expressive: soft yellows and muted greys provide a serene backdrop, while accents of bright red, orange, and yellow inject energy and contrast.

The brushstrokes are confident and varied. This interplay of texture adds depth and dynamism, suggesting reflections on water and the shifting atmosphere of a harbour at work.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wooden frame with traces of gilt and muted red accent. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.
