Coastal Fragments

SOLD.

An outstanding mid-century abstract composition depicting a coastal scene with boats, painted in oil onto canvas.

The artwork embodies hints of cubism, with all realistic details omitted, emphasising a play of geometric shapes and colours.

The artist has expertly deconstructed what we can discern to be a coastal scene with boats into blocks of contrasting colours that interlock with one another, creating a harmonious balance among them.

The colour palette predominantly features rich reds, pale yellows, mellow whites and beige, and deep blacks, each block merging with the next through a process of layering that adds depth and interest to the composition.

The use of these rich colours brings warmth and energy to the scene, while the unique blue outlines that trace the silhouettes of some blocks add a distinctive touch, drawing the eye to key elements of the composition.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Size: 62 x 74 cm (including frame)
