Vibrant abstract acrylic painting titled “Cityscape” by Hamilton artist S. Page. Strong, textural brushwork in yellow, green, blue and russet suggests buildings and figures in a glowing city scene. Lots of movement and colour – it reads differently every time you look at it.

On the back is the artist’s own label with the title, medium, date and original price ($215), plus the framer’s label – a nice bit of provenance for NZ art collectors.

Condition

Painting surface looks good with strong colour and texture

Frame has minor scuffs and general wear consistent with age

Overall presents well on the wall, but would really come up nicely if you ever chose to re-mat or re-frame it

Characterful original abstract by a Hamilton artist, with clear title and date – great for adding a colourful focal point to lounge, hallway or office.
