Trellis

SOLD.

A striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

In the centre of the composition we see thickly applied layers of paint and this area of impasto in grey and rust brown creates an initial focal point. The composition has a grid like effect, with layers of paint contrasting against each other in a myriad of ways. The crossed angles in which the paint has been applied create a distinct sense of depth to the painting, drawing our eyes further and further inward to discover the various layers. The lighter colours sit underneath the darker, earthier colours, giving it a luminous effect.

Although the picture does not depict anything identifiable, it is very expressive and emotional in its effect,  created both through the colour palette as well as the gestural way in which the paint has been applied.

The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a linen lined border.  There are some age spots on the top left of the painting, but it is overall in good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the frame, commensurate with its age.

Size: 45 x 56 cm (including frame)
