An uplifting and expressive mid-century modernist still life painting, executed in oil onto board.
The composition features a vibrant arrangement of red amaryllis flowers placed in a green jug, set against an abstracted background. The composition is thoughtfully balanced, with the rich red of the blossoms drawing the viewer’s attention, while the surrounding foliage and vase provide contrast.
Executed in an expressive style, the painting exhibits bold colour blocking and simplified forms. The palette is earthy and muted, with browns, blues, and greys forming the backdrop, while the foreground is energised by the deep crimson of the flowers and the bright citrus tones of fruit resting on a plate.
The brushwork is loose and textured, with visible, confident strokes that create a sense of movement and depth. The application of paint varies, from thicker to more fluid, blended sections, enhancing the overall dynamism of the piece.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 38 x 31.5 cm (including frame)
