In the Shadows

SOLD

An outstanding mid-century abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto board.

A figure standing in an interior setting, with one hand resting on a raised platform, punctuates the center of the composition.

The figure, depicted in a fleeting silhouette, stands in the shadows, revealing only half of its form. Abstract in nature, all realistic details are deliberately omitted, allowing the viewer to focus on the expressive and powerful brushwork, as well as the rich and limited colour palette that evokes a sense of mystery and introspection.

This masterpiece is a dance of contrasts, where the interplay of light and dark takes center stage and helps to demonstrate depth and balance to the painting.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing, in keeping with its overall vintage style.

Size:  39 x 30 cm (including frame)
