Earthen Horizon

A soothing mid-century abstract painting that evokes a quiet, atmospheric landscape through restrained simplicity, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition is divided into two sweeping planes: a broad expanse of earthy brown and grey tones that anchor the lower half, contrasted with a soft, muted sky in shades of lighter greys and beige above. At their meeting point, textured strokes of white and pale grey suggest drifting mist or distant light, imbuing the work with depth and a sense of horizon.

The artist has used a minimalist yet expressive style, where the subject matter becomes more suggestion than representation. Broad, horizontal brushstrokes are layered with subtle variations, creating tonal gradations and a tactile surface. The impasto work along the horizon adds movement, balancing the otherwise serene, meditative field.

This painting’s restrained palette and textural abstraction reflect the mid-century modernist sensibility – favouring atmosphere, mood, and material over literal depiction.

This oil on canvas is presented in a very well suited silver metal frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
