CITY HOUSES
Size: 58 x 50 cm (including frame)
Oil on board

An outstanding mid century abstract cityscape, executed in oil onto board.

In this semi-abstract composition, the artist has reconstructed this cityscape filled with buildings and houses of different shapes and sizes down to blocks of contrasting colours.

Expressive and beautifully textured brushstrokes fill the surface, and using a wide spectrum of rich and muted pastel colours, the artist has skilfully paired and layered contrasting shades to form this striking composition. Furthermore, the buildings have been uniquely outlined in blue to highlight their respective forms.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary deep profile distressed frame that pairs very well with the painting. The painting has some losses to its edges, due to the frame. The frame is ever so slightly too wide for the painting so there is a narrow gap to either side of the board. There are losses and scuffs to the frame and its corners, as shown.
