  • 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.

    The figure is standing beside a piano with an open book, and a plant sitting on it. Rendered in darker muted shades of brown, green and black with the use of smooth brushstrokes, this adds to the overall sense of nostalgia and vintage charm of the painting.

    This gouache on card is housed in a complementary gilt and black frame.  There are areas of craquelure present to the figure’s yellow dress, but the paint layer appears to be stable and is protected behind glass. The frame has losses and wear but this is in keeping with its vintage look.

  • 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.

    The female figure emerges from the darkness in stark contrast. 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.

    This oil on board is housed in complementary wood frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • 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.

  • A Quiet Afternoon

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intimate and beautifully executed composition of an interior setting, painted in oil onto board.

    In the center of the composition, we see a seated figure reading a book. Surrounding her are all her homely objects – a potted plant with flowers in bloom, and a painting on the wall. We get a sense this space is lived in and well-loved.

    The artist has worked in an expressive manner, using loose and distinct brushstrokes to compose the scene. There is an illustrative quality to the painting, giving us some insight into the artist’s method of working.

    Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct form.

    This oil on board is housed in a simple gilt frame. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 53 x 29 cm (including frame)
