Geometry in Balance

SOLD

A mid-century geometric abstract painting that features a minimalist composition of overlapping rectangular forms, presented in a balanced and structured arrangement, executed in oil onto board.

The artwork is divided vertically into two contrasting sections: a light, off-white area on the left and a dark, charcoal-black area on the right. The primary geometric shapes include a series of coloured rectangles stacked on a horizontal black base. On the left side, a small yellow rectangle partially overlaps with a green rectangle, adjacent to a slightly larger blue rectangle. On the right side, a dominant red rectangle stands tall, partially obscuring a dark green rectangle at its base. The overlapping of colours and shapes creates a sense of depth and spatial interaction.

The colours used are bold and primary: red, blue, yellow, and green, with neutral black, white, and grey tones as background elements. The brushstrokes are varied – smooth strokes fill the background, and more expressive stokes with visible texture have been used to paint the shapes.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen-lined frame with an inner black and silver border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 45.5 x 53.5 cm (including frame)
