An oil on canvas by Ivon Hitchens in which floral and landscape forms are distilled into broad passages of colour and fluid brushwork. Areas of blue, yellow, orange and lilac move across the elongated composition, balancing abstraction with references to the natural world. The work reflects Hitchens’ mature approach, where structure, colour and gesture are used to evoke atmosphere rather than direct description.
Ivon Hitchens (1893–1979) was a leading figure in Modern British painting. A founder member of the Seven and Five Society and a member of the London Group, he developed a distinctive painterly language that moved between landscape, still life and abstraction. His work was exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale in 1956, and is represented in major public collections including Tate.
