An outstanding mid-century modernist style composition, executed in oil and dated 1954.

Characterised by its use of geometric abstraction, the painting is structured around overlapping geometric shapes—semi-circles, circles, triangles, and rectangles—creating a dynamic interplay of forms.

The dominant colours are cool tones like blues, greens, and teals, unified with warmer accents of muted orange and yellow. This palette creates a sense of calm and balance.

The brushwork is smooth with visible layering and blending of colours, as each shade transitions seamlessly from one shade to the next.

By deliberately leaving areas of the canvas unoccupied, the artist has skilfully utilised negative space to emphasise the geometric forms and draws attention to the boundaries between each element.

This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, and is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing. See less
