1976 Vintage Mid-Century Figurative Oil Painting - At your Service

1976

About the Item

AT YOUR SERVICE Size: 58 x 43 cm (including frame) Oil on Board A wonderfully textured figurative composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1976. A figure is captured in the act of serving a drink. The figure blends seamlessly into an abstract backdrop where shades of white, light blue, greens and brown overlay one another. He or she appears as a natural extension of this delicate environment, and by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the figure’s form. The subtle colours, applied with loose and unrestrained brushstrokes, create a textural and visually stimulating surface. Its expressive nature also evokes a sense of movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the scene. This oil on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with multiple ridges. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item's condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
Located in Bristol, GB
WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
