The Painter

SOLD

An intimate and expressive mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

The artworks depicts a seated figure working at an easel, engaged in the act of painting.

The colour palette is muted, dominated by soft blues, green and grey, and with warmer tones like orange. These colours harmonise wonderfully together and instil a soothing quality to the piece.

The brushwork is dynamic and layered, with loose and broad thick strokes that suggest movement and spontaneity. The layering of colours create a characterful textural quality to the surface.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has some scattered craquelure (which is not easily visible due to the expressive brushwork), but overall the paint layer is stable.

Size: 65 x 49.5 cm (including frame)
