A brilliantly executed modernist still like composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
In this scene we see a pair of fruit, a pair of white mugs, and a blue sugar pot. The artist has incorporated a loose and porous like effect to the medium by thinning down the oil paint, creating a watercolour like effect. Significant attention has been paid to the application of colour, from blending and layering to looser flicks and dabs. This myriad of application techniques creates a textural effect and allows the different layers to remain visible. There is a softness to the palette – the objects are set against a pale pink background which contrasts beautifully with the greenish blue of the upper edge of the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a lovely wood frame in a distressed style with an inner white border that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An outstanding mid-century modernist style still life painting, executed in oil onto board.
Simple yet effective in its composition, the artwork presents a group of objects including jugs and bowls carefully arranged across a burnt orange surface that exudes warmth, and placed against a luminous light yellow backdrop.
Celebrating the simplicity and beauty found in everyday objects, the earthenware seem to converse with each other, their forms rendered through a sophisticated progression of rich colours. Starting with the lightest shades of yellow on the left of each object, they gradually transform into shades of orange and then deeper, nuanced browns as they ascend towards the right. This dynamic shift in colour adds a sense of depth and dimensionality, as if the objects are caught in a dance between light and shadow.
The artist has also skilfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, further highlighting the three-dimensional qualities of the objects.
