    A fantastic mid-century modernist style composition of a harbour, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a vibrant scene of boats at a harbour, with seagulls flying in the clear blue sky.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting shades, focusing on colour contrast to create a sense of depth and space.

    Each respective shape seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

    The colour palette is rich and saturated, imbuing the work with a lively feel. And the painting has a soothing smooth finish.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light wood frame with an inner linen window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 48 x 55.5 cm (including frame)
