Windswept

SOLD

A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

This painting captures the fluidity and energy of a coastal scene through bold brushwork and a harmonious colour palette. Its semi-abstract approach makes it open to interpretation, but the sense of movement, the presence of sails, and the interplay of water and land evoke a windswept, maritime atmosphere. The artist’s use of colour and texture creates an evocative, immersive experience, making the piece feel both natural and expressive.

The painting has a dynamic, layered composition, where different elements blend into one another. The paint is applied thickly and expressively, using loose, gestural strokes to create a sense of movement. The blending of colours and textured application give the painting a dreamlike, atmospheric quality. The edges of the forms are intentionally soft and undefined, allowing the viewer’s eye to explore the painting freely.

The painting leans toward abstract impressionism, focusing more on capturing the essence of the scene rather than realistic details. The interplay of colour and texture suggests an artist interested in emotion and energy rather than precise representation. The scene may depict a harbour, a rocky coastline, or a windswept landscape, but its abstract nature allows for varied interpretations.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has light scattered craquelure present due to thickness of paint, but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some scuffs and light wear .

Size: 51 x 72 cm (including frame)
