AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

John Picking – Multiples of Time (1993)
Oil on canvas – Original work

Description:
A fascinating work by the artist John Picking, created in 1993, which explores the theme of temporal dimension through an intense and evocative composition. The painting depicts a compact group of stylized human figures, arranged in sequence on a platform suspended over water, almost representing a collective flow of existences and memories.

The figures, deliberately lacking defined facial details, stand out for the richness of the colors of their clothing and for the gathered gesture, creating a strong sense of unity and introspection. The background, dominated by warm and luminous tones, harmoniously contrasts with the cooler, reflective shades of the water in the foreground.

The painting technique highlights a tactile, vibrant surface, with layers of color that give depth and movement to the whole. The work sits between figuration and abstraction, and is particularly evocative and contemporary.

Conditions:
Good overall condition. There is a small defect at the bottom right: a slight fraying of the canvas, visible but not intrusive.

Details:
• Technique: Oil on canvas
• Artist: John Picking
• Title: Multiples of Time
• Year: 1993
• Original work

Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary art, ideal for modern settings or thematic collections related to the figure and time.
