Hammer

£70

An unusual and striking 1970s midcentury modern textured and sgraffito oil on board, showing an abstract landscape scene with an African or Middle Eastern house or place of worship, below a partially obscured Shell logo, signed bottom left 'Hutton', contained in a gilt painted frame, frame 52cm high, 51cm wide.

FOOTNOTE: This may be an artist's reaction to the ecologically impactful oil spill in the Niger Delta during the 1967-70 Biafran War in Nigeria, or the larger spill in the same area in 1978. In 2021, Shell paid a full and final settelement of $111million for the first.

Condition: Painting intact and in excellent condition. Frame with losses to finish and some of the plaster detailing.
