Essence of Earth

SOLD.

A minimalist abstract composition that captivates with its simplicity and subtle complexity, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970 on verso.

In the lower section, a solid block of forest green grounds the composition, representing the earth. A faint black line hovers above, suggestive of a horizon. Above this line, a serene block of cream fills the top half of the canvas, evoking a vast expanse of sky. At the pinnacle, a luminous white circle glows softly, reminiscent of a sun.

While abstract in nature, the painting subtly suggests a landscape bathed in the light of a radiant sun. Its minimalistic composition and gradients echo the emotive resonance often found in the works of American abstract painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970), inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of light, space, and colour.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 82.5 x 61 cm (including frame)
