Mackerel & Lemon
SOLD
A bold and striking mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
The painting presents two mackerel laid on a plate, accented with a lemon wedge and a backdrop of simplified, abstracted elements, and a stark blue tabletop. The fish are rendered in vibrant blues and greys, with expressive yellow eyes that draw immediate attention.
There is a strong emphasis on simplified forms and expressive brushwork. The palette is restrained but impactful, dominated by cool tones—deep navy, cobalt blue, teal—offset by earthy beige and a pop of lemon yellow. Thick, confident brushstrokes and impasto application give the surface a rich texture, adding dimensionality and dynamism to the otherwise static subject.
This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner green and gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
