Description
A large and expressive mid-century modernist still life painting captures a simple yet effective arrangement of green apples resting on a loosely draped cloth, executed in oil onto board. The composition exudes a sense of spontaneity, emphasising form and colour over precise realism. The apples are depicted in various shades of green and yellow, with broad, expressive brushstrokes giving them a sense of volume and natural imperfection. The background features dark muted earthy tones, including deep blues, browns, and hints of red, creating contrast with the vibrancy of the fruit. The cloth, rendered in soft whites and beiges, provides a fluid, organic texture that balances the composition. The artist has used a gestural painting technique, with visible brushstrokes that enhance the dynamic energy of the piece. This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint losses as shown Size: 49.5 x 85 cm (including frame)
