STILL LIFE WITH GREEN BOTTLES Size: 19.5 x 23 inches (including frame) Oil on canvas A charming modernist still life painting that captures a domestic tabletop scene with pared-down elegance and geometric order, executed in oil onto canvas. Two green bottles, a cluster of green apples, and a white bowl of leafy greens sit alongside a robust earthenware pot, all arranged on a grey placemat against a backdrop of vertical yellow stripes. In the distance, two halved eggs rest symmetrically on a narrow shelf, contributing to the balanced composition. The style is distinctly modernist, marked by flattened forms, strong outlines, and a harmonious structure. The artist has reduced everyday objects to simplified, almost architectural shapes – echoing the mid-century preoccupation with abstraction and clarity of form. The colour palette is rich and warm, dominated by yellows, olives, and soft blues, with accents of terracotta and cream. Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, lending a calm, deliberate rhythm to the surface. This is a quiet composition that celebrates order, stillness, and the formal beauty of the mundane. This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.
