Essence of Objects

SOLD

An outstanding mid-century still life composition in the style of abstract expressionism, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is filled with loosely defined everyday objects, whereby the artist has reimagined them as abstract shapes and forms. The arrangement is dense, giving the painting a sense of fullness.

Abstract expressionist in nature, the painting conveys emotions through colour and shape,  rather than through realistic representational forms.

The colour palette consist of muted tones with contrasting pops of striking reds and orange.

The brushstrokes are energetic and gestural. These strokes do not aim for precision nor to fully define each form, but instead to capture a sense of immediacy and movement, suggesting the artist painted with vigour and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint losses as shown.

Size: 54 x 63 cm (including frame)
