    This mid-century expressive and emotive oil portrait delves into the depths of the human psyche with an intriguing depiction of a male figure in a brown shirt.

    The face of the figure appears slightly distorted, contributing to an atmosphere of unease and ambiguity. Through the semi-abstract portrayal, the artist captures the complex and often contradictory nature of human emotions and thoughts.

    The painting’s expressive brushwork is forceful and emotive, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Reminiscent of the works of Irish-born British figurative painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992), the piece explores themes of inner turmoil.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has light craquelure at its top right section but the paint layer is stable. The frame edges have some losses but this is in keeping with its overall distressed vintage style.

    Size: 65.5 x 54 cm (including frame)

    A visually striking and soothing mid-century modernist style oil composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene is set within an interior setting, where a female figure is seated by a table with a vase of beautiful blue flowers, and beside a window that reveals a glimpse of the outside world. The figure, who is the focal point of the composition, is dressed in a vibrant red and yellow attire, and has her gaze faced downwards and appears to be in thought.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist explores the use of contrasting colour and brushstrokes to create this wonderful composition. The colour palette is a skilful selection of hues that evoke positive emotions, enhancing the overall uplifting atmosphere of the painting, and the gentle brushstrokes add a sense of tranquillity to the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in distressed light wood frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age wear but this is in keeping with its vintage look.
