A bold and intriguing surrealist painting, executed in oil. Surrealism is an artistic movement that focuses on the exploration of the unconscious mind. This work heavily bears its elements, presenting a dream-like imagery of unexpected forms coming together. Apart from a mix of objects including a tomato, cup, and a moon floating around, we can spot an animal and a human form merging as one on the left, and a guitar and vase blending in on the right.
Although peculiar, this work of art is nevertheless fascinating and reminds us that strange beauty can be found in the unexpected.
The painting is housed in a complementary gilt frame which suits the painting well. The frame has minor scuffs and the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

A brilliantly executed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.
The composition features a jar and some fruits on a raised surface, set against a well-coloured background of green, white and yellow.

Distinct expressive multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas, and have been executed with vigour and confidence. The artist displays a deep understanding of colour as he skilfully overlays contrasting shades to demonstrate depth and interest to the painting, and the unique white bold outlines wonderfully accentuate the three dimensionality of the objects.
