    The painting portrays a silhouette of a solitary male figure, bathed in a mix of orange, red, beige, and brown hues. The figure stands boldly against a subdued and soothing light-coloured backdrop.

    The artist has used the power of brushstrokes and colour to highlight emotion. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece.

  • Metamorphosis

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and striking 20th century oil, painted onto canvas and dated ’98.

    Brightly coloured figures fill the scene, each one overlapping and layering onto another. There is incredible depth within the picture – the way the artist has layered the forms, some opaque and some translucent, gives us the sense of a very busy street scene with lots of people on their way to work. We can just about make out a figure in a suit, carrying a briefcase. Interestingly, as our eyes scan the canvas,  we notice that the figure’s heads morph from human ones to animal ones, perhaps an allusion to the herd mentality or the humdrum of working life.

    Whatever one’s interpretation, the painting is brilliantly executed, with a rich variety of colours and textures filling the surface. This statement piece would certainly make for some interesting conversation.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has an area of paint loss, revealing the red underlayer, as shown in photo.

    Size: 76.5 x 96 cm (including frame)

    A brilliantly executed and playful figurative composition with abstract qualities, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition unveils a seated figure on a chair. Seated upright and with poise, the figure embodies a profound sense of presence and power.

  • Blue Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very impactful abstract modernist oil composition, painted onto board.

    Although very much abstract, the painting is reminiscent of the qualities of water – its flowing nature, its sparkling and dappled reflections, and even its undercurrents. This interpretation is of course subjective but at its very essence, the composition captures a feeling of motion, transience and dynamism. The artist juxtaposes broad sweeping brushwork with much more controlled and defined dots of paint. The palette of colours interplay wonderfully with each other, encouraging our eyes to move in different directions and explore different areas of the composition.

    This oil on board is housed in a very attractive wood frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
