An atmospheric vintage abstract painting with a distinctly mid-century British surrealist character, closely resembling the biomorphic and marine-inspired compositions associated with John Tunnard.
The composition combines pale geometric planes, intersecting lines and mysterious organic forms, including a dark blue shape suggestive of a fish, whale or coastal rock formation. The restrained palette of slate blue, grey, cream, black and muted ochre gives the painting an enigmatic, dreamlike quality.
The work is unsigned, and no signature has been found on either the front or reverse. It is therefore offered as an unattributed vintage painting in the style of John Tunnard, with no claim that it is by Tunnard himself.
Painted in oil or mixed media on a woven canvas-covered support and presented in a substantial vintage moulded wooden frame. There are scattered surface marks, small abrasions and areas of wear consistent with age. The frame has knocks, rubbing and variation to the finish.
The framed painting measures approximately 72 × 56 cm / 28.3 × 22 inches.
