Bottles in Blue Geometry

A refined and thoughtfully composed mid-century still life composition in a cubist style that presents two elongated bottles set against a layered arrangement of abstracted forms, executed in oil onto board.

The objects are simplified and slightly flattened, outlined with confident dark contours that give them a sculptural presence. Around them, angular planes and overlapping shapes create a quiet architectural backdrop, lending structure and balance to the composition while subtly shifting the sense of depth.

Executed in a modernist style with cubist leanings, the work embraces reduction and clarity over realism. The interplay between object and space feels deliberate and contemplative, with negative space used just as thoughtfully as the painted forms themselves. There is a calm stillness to the arrangement, where everyday objects are elevated into a study of form, tone, and balance.

The colour palette is harmoniously restrained, dominated by cool blues, soft aquas, and muted teal tones, punctuated by gentle off-whites and deeper navy accents. These hues create a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere, while subtle tonal variations add dimension without disrupting the overall serenity.

This oil on board is presented in a elegant frame with a warm, muted gold tone finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
