SOLD.

A mid-century abstract landscape painting that captures the essence of a fleeting autumn moment through expressive, bold brushstrokes and a rich, earthy colour palette, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

The composition centres on a striking, stylized tree with vibrant orange foliage, leaning slightly as if swayed by the wind. The background features deep green and muted brown hues, creating a sense of depth and grounding the scene in a natural setting. A hint of light cream in the centre suggests sunlight filtering through the foliage, adding a subtle glow.

The artist has used loose, expressive brushstrokes that give the painting a dynamic and raw quality. The juxtaposition of vibrant orange against deep forest greens evokes a sense of contrast between movement and stillness, warmth and tranquillity. The use of muted earth tones in the foreground and background enhances the natural, organic feel of the composition, while the layered application of paint gives it depth.

The painting’s abstracted form and expressive colour choices reflect a contemplative interpretation of the landscape, focusing on mood and atmosphere rather than realistic details.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver leaf wood frame. There is some v slight wear to bottom edge of canvas, but the painting is in good condition overall. There are some losses to the silver leaf on the frame, as shown.

Size: 41 x 56 cm (including frame)

SOLD

A minimalistic mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet, geometric landscape rendered with bold simplicity and thoughtful abstraction, painted in oil onto board.

At its center, a sharply angled white structure – perhaps a barn or house – emerges between two looming, almost silhouetted trees. A small blue-and-white striped form in the foreground, possibly a bench, adds a playful pop of colour and contrast.

Modernist in its ethos, the painting embraces geometric abstraction as the artist has omitted all realistic details and has used flat planes of colour and a minimalistic approach to suggest depth and form.

The palette is dominated by deep greens, blacks, and subdued greys, evoking a moody, almost twilight ambiance. The stark white of the roof and the sharp blue accents add both contrast and focal interest.

Thick, expressive brushstrokes are visible throughout, especially in the trees and background areas. These textured strokes bring a sense of movement and energy to the otherwise calm and structured scene, grounding the abstraction in tactile, painterly technique.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs at its corners.
