An expressive and uplifting mid-century modernist painting that showcases a richly decorated interior scene, executed in oil onto board.

The composition features a still life arrangement in the foreground and a vibrant seaside painting adorning the wall. The scene is anchored by a patterned tablecloth draped over a round table, which holds a bowl of fruit, a ceramic dish, and a guitar. Surrounding the table are striped upholstered chairs, adding an inviting atmosphere to the space. In the background, a framed painting of a lively harbour with colourful sailboats adds a lively quality to the scene.

Executed in a Fauvist-influenced, post-impressionist style, the painting embraces bold colour choices, flattened perspective, and an expressive, spontaneous approach to form. The composition plays with pattern and contrast, reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s interior scenes, where objects and décor hold as much visual weight as the background elements.

The brushwork is lively and gestural, with painterly strokes adding texture and vibrancy. The artist has used a loose, expressive technique, giving the composition an energetic and dynamic feel.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.
