Edges of Dusk

SOLD

A minimalistic mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet, geometric landscape rendered with bold simplicity and thoughtful abstraction, painted in oil onto board.

At its center, a sharply angled white structure – perhaps a barn or house – emerges between two looming, almost silhouetted trees. A small blue-and-white striped form in the foreground, possibly a bench, adds a playful pop of colour and contrast.

Modernist in its ethos, the painting embraces geometric abstraction as the artist has omitted all realistic details and has used flat planes of colour and a minimalistic approach to suggest depth and form.

The palette is dominated by deep greens, blacks, and subdued greys, evoking a moody, almost twilight ambiance. The stark white of the roof and the sharp blue accents add both contrast and focal interest.

Thick, expressive brushstrokes are visible throughout, especially in the trees and background areas. These textured strokes bring a sense of movement and energy to the otherwise calm and structured scene, grounding the abstraction in tactile, painterly technique.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs at its corners.
