Oil on Canvas

An outstanding mid-century geometric abstract cityscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts a cityscape reimagined through a dynamic array of geometric shapes and blocks that intersect one another. The city has been skilfully deconstructed into shapes with clean lines and sharp angles, reminiscent of architectural forms but stripped to their essence.

The composition features a vibrant palette of rich and striking colours—jet black, fiery orange, bold red, deep blue, and sunny yellow. These hues contrast sharply, creating a sense of energy as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

The smooth brushstrokes add a polished finish to the piece, enhancing the sharpness and clarity of each geometric form.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited dark grey frame with an inner silver window. The painting has some scattered areas of craquelure as well as small areas of paint loss as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is stable overall. less
