SOLD.

A mid century modernist portrait of two figures, painted in oil onto board.

Angular lines, distinctive forms, contrasting tones, a restrained palette, and a matte finish are all features in this piece.

Here we have two female figures, depicted in a powerful standing stance, one staring straight at us and another looking down. Both stand with their arms folded and feet firmly on the ground, conveying a message of strength, firmness, and solidarity.

The artist has used a restrained palette, focusing instead on the juxtaposition of light and dark. Short and visible multidirectional brushmarks give this paintings its texture and depth. The artist has applied thin layers of oil to the hardboard, giving the painting an even matte finish.

The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 68.5 x 50.5 cm (including frame)
