About the Item
Framed size: 26.5" x 33"
This spirited waterfront scene by Gen Paul bursts with colour and energy. A vivid red boat anchors the foreground, set against a richly hued blue harbour. Buildings, a clock tower, and a café emerge with expressive brushwork - formed by bold, flowing strokes that lean into abstraction. Inspired by the work of Raoul Dufy, Paul painted at the same time in Paris as the iconic artist. The composition balances suggestion and structure; recognisable elements harmonise with movement in a way that feels both spontaneous and joyful. Paul’s technique exemplifies the ‘action painting’ ethos, dynamic, gestural, and rhythmically charged. Here, strong diagonals and flat, saturated colour planes create visual tension and movement. While abstract in execution, figurative elements anchor the viewer, transporting mundane harbour life into a vivid emotional moment. Though Gen Paul shunned the art establishment, he nevertheless gained recognition—and remains highly collected. His works are housed in prominent museums and continue to appeal. The Harbour radiates with Paul’s quintessential joie de vivre. Raw, vivid, and alive. With its bold red vessel, blue waters, and energetic brushwork, the painting captures not just a scene, but a heartbeat.
