Silent Street Scene, Oil Painting, Framed

A brilliantly executed geometric abstract mid-century modernist streetscape that captures a quiet neighbourhood setting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953. Simplified geometric forms suggest a cluster of houses, defined by interlocking planes of mustard yellow, charcoal, and muted sage. A single dark chimney silhouette anchors the composition against a subdued, grey-green sky. The painting is executed in broad, deliberate brushstrokes, lending a sense of structural weight and stillness to the scene. The palette leans toward earthy muted tones with cool undertones that evoke the atmosphere of dusk or a rainy day, evoking a melancholic ambiance to the scene. Despite the abstracted forms, the artist maintains a strong sense of spatial rhythm and architectural logic, using blocks of colour and shadow to lead the viewer’s eye through the quiet street. This oil on board is housed in very well suited white painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight wear, but is in good condition overall. Size: 46 x 58 cm (including frame)
