Grandparents

SOLD.

Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century piece has been painted in oil onto board and depicts two seated figures on chairs.

Large swathes of bold and vivid colour have been unabashedly applied to the canvas, and the artist has also incorporated areas of thick impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface, creating a three dimensional effect. The artist’s painterly style celebrates the medium of oil, encouraging our eyes to soak in his rich and vivid palette.

The figures don’t have facial features, and the background also does not to allude to any particular space. This gives the painting its timeless quality, and asks us instead to appreciate the qualities of form, shape and colour.

The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. There is some minor cracking to the thick impasto area (very normal due to age) but these areas are very stable. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some general wear and surface paint losses to the outermost edges of the frame, but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

Size: 77 x 62 cm (including frame)
