Description from the seller
Urban landscape, oil on canvas
Frameless
Oil on canvas depicting an urban landscape rendered in a post-impressionist language with a constructive tendency, where the composition is articulated through patches of color and a visible, firm, and architectural brushstroke.
The scene shows a group of buildings arranged in depth, built from well-defined chromatic planes that contribute solidity and balance to the whole. The architecture is synthesized through clear volumes, without resorting to meticulous detail, prioritizing the formal structure and the relationship between masses and spaces.
From a technical standpoint, the work stands out for its short, impasto brushstrokes, applied with confidence and rhythm, which confer texture and dynamism to the pictorial surface. The color palette, dominated by earth tones, ochres, blues, and pinkish tones, creates a harmonious and sober atmosphere, reinforcing the sense of visual unity.
The treatment of space and light reveals a clear influence of Post-Impressionism, especially in the construction of the motif through color and in the pursuit of compositional stability. The perspective remains legible, contributing depth without losing the modern and synthetic character of the representation.
The artwork is offered unframed, allowing the future owner to choose a framing that matches their taste or the needs of their collection.
A work of notable pictorial quality and strong decorative appeal, particularly interesting for collectors of modern painting and for those who value urban landscapes in a post-impressionist idiom, balanced and well constructed.
