This piece embodies a bold, almost brutalist approach to still life — with heavily worked impasto, palette knife application, and a raw, expressive surface that gives the composition a sculptural quality. The subject appears to centre around a vessel and floral form, abstracted through energetic, gestural strokes and layered earthy tones. There is a strong sense of movement and intensity throughout the work, with scratched and built-up paint creating a tactile surface that shifts under light. The palette is rich and moody — dominated by browns, ochres, and charcoals — lending the piece a grounded, architectural presence. Framed in its original mid-century textile mount and slim frame, which complements the warmth and depth of the painting beautifully. A highly decorative yet characterful piece — ideal for interiors leaning toward mid-century, brutalist, wabi-sabi, or contemporary rustic styles. Details original oil on board signed “c.
