Flock in Flight

SOLD

A sombre and atmospheric abstract landscape composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1978 on the reverse.

The painting depicts a flock of birds soaring across an overcast sky, set against an abstracted landscape with hills.

The style is expressive and painterly, with the use of loose, sweeping brushstrokes that create a sense of dynamism and texture. It leans towards abstraction, omitting all realistic details while retaining enough structure to convey the scene’s essence.

The palette is earthy and subdued, with tones of muted green and brown dominating the landscape. The birds are rendered in darker hues, standing out prominently against the pale, off-white sky. Touches of warm reddish-brown provide depth and contrast, adding vibrancy to the otherwise sombre composition.

The brushstrokes are confident and vigorous, revealing the artist’s adept layering technique that adds interest to the painting.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary ridged wood frame painted white. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor marks but is in very good condition overall.

Size: 41 x 43 cm (including frame)
