Facade and Form

SOLD

A calm and introspective mid-century composition of an urban setting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents a quiet town with a stretch of houses located near a body of water, that adds depth and tranquility to the scene.

Leaning towards abstraction and with an emphasis on simplicity and structure, intricate details have been omitted. The houses and rooftops have been deconstructed into geometric shapes and blocks of contrasting colour, and the painting is composed with a strong sense of balance and order.

The brushstrokes are thoughtful and deliberate, and the artist has used a restrained and muted colour palette dominated by shades of blue, green, and grey, suggesting a subdued mood and possibly a specific time of day like dusk or dawn.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 55.5 x 51 cm (including frame)
