  • By the Piano

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An emotive mid-century figurative composition, executed in gouache.

    The artwork’s focal point is a female figure dressed in a yellow dress, positioned on the left side of the painting. The choice of this striking yellow dress immediately captures the viewer’s attention, as it stands out prominently against the subdued and muted colour palette that dominates the composition. The artist has deliberately depicted the figure without any discernible facial features, encouraging viewers to focus on her form, her graceful posture, and the emotions conveyed through her body language.

  • Uninterrupted

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An enigmatic mid-century semi-abstract figurative oil painting, that masterfully contrasts light and dark elements.

    In a mysterious, dark black room rendered with swift and expressive brushstrokes that serves as the backdrop, a figure punctuating the center of the composition is the focal point.  The dark room has a dimly lit ambiance, and we can spot a dark brown chair and table.

With her gaze directed downward and seemingly engaged in an activity, her form has been reduced into blocks of contrasting colours painted in light colours, creating a powerful visual juxtaposition against the surroundings. The artist has deliberately omitted realistic details, opting instead for bold outlines that define the contours of her figure, resulting in an almost abstract representation.

  • Entangle

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed abstract oil composition, painted onto board and dated ’96.

    The composition features meandering outlines in black that intertwine and intersect, creating pockets that the artist has filled with rich, vivid colours. Each individual shape is therefore completely unique and distinct, while still very much part of a whole. Each shape has a role in the total organism, each one is holding the other up, supporting the whole. As a result the picture has a palpable energy – the forms and shapes almost appear to be moving around the canvas, shapeshifting and amalgamating. There is also an element of the optical effects of light and colour, almost reminiscent of stained glass.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs including a small nick on the bottom which can be seen in the close up photos.

In the middle ground, dark brown, grey, and tinge of light blue tones create a sense of depth and mystery, suggesting hidden depths beneath the fog.

    The brushstrokes, applied with an unrestrained yet thoughtful touch, leave behind a light texture, adding to the painting’s overall transient quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver metal frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Suited Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.
