A striking and deeply textured mid-century oil painting, signed and dated 1966 by C. Bradshaw.

 

This piece embodies a bold, almost brutalist approach to still life — with heavily worked impasto, palette knife application, and a raw, expressive surface that gives the composition a sculptural quality. The subject appears to centre around a vessel and floral form, abstracted through energetic, gestural strokes and layered earthy tones.

 

There is a strong sense of movement and intensity throughout the work, with scratched and built-up paint creating a tactile surface that shifts under light. The palette is rich and moody — dominated by browns, ochres, and charcoals — lending the piece a grounded, architectural presence.

 

Framed in its original mid-century textile mount and slim frame, which complements the warmth and depth of the painting beautifully.

 

A highly decorative yet characterful piece — ideal for interiors leaning toward mid-century, brutalist, wabi-sabi, or contemporary rustic styles.

Condition

 

 

Good vintage condition overall.

 

There is natural age-related wear to the frame and minor surface marks consistent with the period. The painting surface is stable, with intentional heavy texture throughout as part of the artist’s technique.

 

 

 

 

Styling Notes

 

 

This piece works exceptionally well in more considered interiors — particularly against limewash, concrete, or neutral-toned walls.

 

Pairs beautifully with:

 

  • dark woods
  • ceramic or stoneware pieces
  • soft, ambient lighting

 

 

Ideal as a standalone statement or layered within a gallery wall of mid-century or abstract works.
