  • The Balcony

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet very captivating modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non-essentials – focusing our attention on the beautiful essence of colour may come across as limited but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms, as well as evoke a soothing and minimalist quality to the work.
