Clam

Sold

SOLD

A unique and captivating oil on canvas by contemporary Irish artist Jenny Belton.

Featuring a clam shell on a round box under a spotlight, this painting by Belton is a comment on the rarity of wisdom. In Belton’s words, “The chances of finding a perfect round pearl in a clam are 100,000 to 1. Wisdom is as rare.” The clam shell here is closed so the question remains as to whether or not there is a pearl to be found within.

Yellow & Green Ball

Sold

SOLD

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 on the reverse by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

A group of vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green and yellow circles, which draw our eye to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

This painting is wonderfully presented in a distressed style frame with ridge detail, and an inner linen-lined border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
