A soothing mid-century modernist still life painting that presents a carefully composed arrangement of objects, executed in oil onto canvas.
The scene features a potted plant with delicate white flowers, a woven basket, a small musician figurine with a blue guitar, and a green fruit, all set against a richly patterned background of intersecting planes.
Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully deconstructed and simplified the scene into blocks of contrasting colour.
The colour palette is a harmonious mix of muted blues, warm reds, and earthy greens, punctuated by the bright yellow of the figurine’s hat and scarf. These hues create a sense of balance and vibrancy within the scene.
The brushstrokes are expressive and confident and the paint has been applied in broad, deliberate strokes –Â reinforcing the geometric nature of the composition while adding a sense of movement and depth.
This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited cream frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.Â
