Oil on Board
Size: 26.6 x 30.5 inches (including frame)

A brilliantly executed and gentle mid-century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

A glass bottle, a green apple, a lemon, and a blue bowl are carefully arranged on a table.

Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully reduced the forms into blocks of contrasting colours to create depth, while maintaining the flatness of the board.

The scene is rendered in a beautiful palette of muted pastel shades—soft blues, gentle yellows, pale greens and subdued greys—that lend a calm and soothing quality to the painting.

Short, expressive brushstrokes add energy to the scene, emphasising the artist’s hand in creating the work.

Overall, the painting has a wonderful balance between form and colour, simplicity and expression. And the composition invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of everyday objects.

This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with multiple profiles. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. less
