Sway

SOLD.

A small yet very impactful modernist style semi-abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

The composition depicts tall slender trees rising from the ground of open fields, swaying in the gentle breeze.

Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist explores the use of colour and brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space in this painting.

The use of a limited and gentle colour palette comprising shades of green, teal, and yellow adds a subtle and soothing quality to the painting.

Another striking aspect is the artist’s creative use of negative space. By leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the forms of the trees are accentuated, drawing our attention to their slender branches and overall intricate form.

This oil on canvas is housed in hessian-lined frame. The painting has no issues but there are paint losses to the edges of the frame, as shown.

Size: 35 x 31 cm(including frame)
