A soothing mid-century modernist still life painting that captures a quietly sophisticated domestic scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.
The composition brings together a collection of everyday vessels – cups, jugs, bowls, and sculptural forms – arranged along a table in a harmonious interplay of shape and space.
The painting favours a subdued palette of earthy sand, muted greys, pale greens, soft whites, and dusty pinks. These tones are carefully balanced to evoke a sense of calm and cohesion, while the curved and angular geometries of the objects introduce dynamic tension.
The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the work a contemplative, introspective tone. This is a piece that quietly commands attention through its meditative balance of form and colour – a testament to the modernist ethos of finding beauty in simplicity.
This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited hessian lined wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.
Size: 37 x 50 cm (including frame)
