A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figurative composition, painted in oil on to canvas and dated 1958.
In this composition we see a seated male figure dressed in a blue suit, with his arms and legs crossed. He looks down pensively, his mind appears to be preoccupied. The artist has intentionally left out realistic detailing, focusing instead on the form of the figure and his surroundings. Broad, gestural brushstrokes have been used, giving the piece its painterly characteristic. There is a very calming energy to the painting, and would suit a library or drawing room perfectly.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has very light scattered craquelure present to its surface. The top edge of the canvas has a seam line where it appears to be attached to a backing canvas.

A brilliantly executed modernist still like composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
In this scene we see a pair of fruit, a pair of white mugs, and a blue sugar pot. The artist has incorporated a loose and porous like effect to the medium by thinning down the oil paint, creating a watercolour like effect. Significant attention has been paid to the application of colour, from blending and layering to looser flicks and dabs. This myriad of application techniques creates a textural effect and allows the different layers to remain visible. There is a softness to the palette – the objects are set against a pale pink background which contrasts beautifully with the greenish blue of the upper edge of the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a lovely wood frame in a distressed style with an inner white border that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 45 x 55 cm (including frame)
