Description
A striking mid-century abstract figurative painting that captures a dynamic group scene with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich, layered composition, executed in oil onto canvas. Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted, and the figures, though loosely defined, appear to be engaged in a communal activity. Their forms are suggested rather than explicitly outlined, lending a sense of movement and depth to the composition. Executed in a rich palette of blues, purple, light yellow, brown and black, the painting consists of a harmonious contrast of darker and lighter tones. The artist has used a gestural and impasto technique, using heavy, angular strokes to render forms and suggest depth. The fragmented yet rhythmic brushwork adds spontaneity and raw energy to the piece, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene through its interplay of form and colour. This oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited wood frame with with an inner linen border. The painting has some areas of craquelure and paint loss present, as shown in the close ups. The frame has some scuffing. Size: 68 x 79 cm (including frame)
