Painterly Portrait

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very striking and emotive mid-century figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting portrays a silhouette of a solitary figure, bathed in a luminous yellow hue. The figure stands boldly against a profound dark backdrop infused with subtle yet striking hints of blue, red, and white. These background shades evoke a sense of mystery and depth, lending an air of ambiguity to the composition.

Painted in an abstract manner, all realistic details including facial features have been purposefully omitted, and the artist has used the power of brushstroke and colour to highlight emotion.

What’s most striking is the masterful use of highly expressive and painterly brushstrokes, that have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wood frame with visible grains. The painting has very minor paint losses to its edges, but the overall paint layer is stable. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

Size: 53 x 44 cm (including frame)
