The Pier

SOLD.

A large mid century modernist coastalscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

In this composition we see a long pier heading out towards the sea, with the backs of a figure and horse cart walking away from us. In the distance, a large cloud hangs over a ship, with streams of rain visible. The artist has used two thirds of the composition to paint the sky, yet there is real sense of the vastness of the coastal shoreline. The artist has carefully and delicately used the tip of his brush to paint in wonderful details – such as the little red bed sitting on the line between the poles, the horse drawn cart, the ship out at sea, as well as the lines showing the pouring rain in the distance. The artist has captured the essence of the coastal scene through his expressive yet considered brushwork, imbuing the painting with depth, movement, and tranquillity.

This wonderful painting is housed in its original mid century wide profile champagne coloured frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Size: 62 x 71 cm (including frame)
