FRAGMENTS OF A DAY
Size: 59.5 x 74 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A striking modernist work that presents a scene fragmented into angular planes and interlocking blocks of colour, evoking figures and structures emerging within an imagined landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.
Though abstracted, one can sense the suggestion of human presence and architectural forms – perhaps a house, a figure, and surrounding terrain reduced to their essential geometric components.
Rendered in a modernist style, the composition is built from flat, faceted shapes that tessellate across the canvas, creating a rhythmic mosaic. The artist has employed a harmonious yet lively palette of muted peach, terracotta, sage green, browns, dusty pink, teal, and pale blues. These tones shift softly across the surface, creating subtle contrasts and spatial tension without harsh division.
The brushstrokes are controlled yet visible, giving texture to each block of colour while maintaining an overall crispness in form. Edges are softly defined, hinting at the hand of the painter beneath the structure of the geometry. The result is a composition that feels both architectural and lyrical – an exploration of form and colour that balances abstraction with a whisper of narrative.
This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary simple wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition
