Still Life with Fungi, Oil Painting, Framed for sale at Pamono

A tranquil and meticulously detailed mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957. The painting features an array of mushrooms thoughtfully arranged on a light surface. The fungi, with their distinct cap and stem, are depicted in varying orientations, some standing tall and others tilting to one side. The mushrooms natural shapes, paired with their subtle tonal differences, create an engaging composition. The brushstrokes are deliberate and bold, lending a sculptural feel to the mushrooms, which are rendered with both softness and definition, showcasing the artists skilful manipulation of texture and light. The colour palette is soft, incorporating naturalistic tones such as pale browns and cream, contrasted by the deeper blue in the foreground. The overall mood is tranquil, with a refined simplicity that invites the viewer to reflect on the beauty of still life. This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen and gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 37.5 x 72.5 cm (including frame)
