Poppies in Green Vase
SOLD
A striking mid-century still life painting that captures the quiet elegance of two vivid red poppies, their stems leaning delicately from a green vase, executed in oil onto canvas.
Set against a geometric backdrop of cool-toned rectangles in teal, turquoise, and slate, the flowers appear both fragile and bold, their bright scarlet petals sharply contrasting with the subdued, structured background.
Executed in a modernist style, the composition is pared back and minimal, yet highly expressive. The brushstrokes are textured and layered, giving the surface a tactile, almost woven quality. The artist uses flat planes of colour and simple forms, yet allows slight irregularities in line and texture to introduce warmth and humanity to the structured setting.
The palette balances the cool serenity of aquas, teals, and muted blues with the arresting vibrancy of the red blooms. The lime vase adds a playful accent, anchoring the composition with brightness. The overall mood is contemplative and quietly joyful – a celebration of beauty in restraint, and of the way colour alone can evoke emotion.
This oil on board is is presented in a beautiful wide wooden frame with natural wood grain visible. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small mark on its top inner section.
