Oil on Board

A small yet striking mid-century semi-abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

The painting centers around a silhouette of an illuminating standing figure rendered in shades of yellow. This luminous form stands in stark contrast against a rich brown backdrop, creating a captivating focal point that draws the viewer’s eye.

The artist’s use of a restrained palette, consisting primarily of browns and yellows, emphasises the interplay of the contrasting shades, allowing the figure’s form to stand out further.

The composition’s simplicity is balanced by the expressive and beautifully textured brushwork, which adds depth and dynamism to the painting.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame with multiple profiles, that complements and enhances the warm tones of the artwork. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. less
