Gleam

SOLD.

A thoughtful and expressive modernist style portrait, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artwork depicts a side profile view of a young figure dressed in blue clothing, and standing beside a lamp. The lamp is glowing with warm orange light, resulting in the figure’s hair and small parts of his silhouette to have an orange gleam as well.

Set against a light beige background, the artist has used a range of luminous colours including orange, purple, blue and green, and displays effective painterly skills in the medium of oil. Beautifully distinct and expressive brushstrokes fill the canvas, creating a vibrant and almost translucent and diaphanous effect that resembles the nature of watercolour.

This oil on canvas is housed in a white wooden frame with gilt and linen details. The painting has some minor scuffs, but overall the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Size: 71 x 61 cm (including frame)
