Mid-Century Modern Abstract Still Life by M. Consoli

This is an original oil on canvas board painting featuring a stylized still life of various vessels and bottles, rendered in a bold, mid-century modern aesthetic. The composition utilizes a vibrant palette of deep blues, forest greens, ochre yellows, and hints of red, applied with visible, expressive brushstrokes that suggest both volume and transparency. The central subject consists of overlapping geometric shapes representing pottery or glassware, set against a multi-toned background. The work is signed in the lower right corner as 'M. Consoli' in a dark, cursive hand. The painting is housed in an elaborate multi-part framing system reflecting mid-to-late 20th-century taste, including a gold-toned inner fillet, a wide beige fabric-textured linen liner, and a substantial outer wooden frame with a decorative green and gold distressed finish. Physically, the canvas board appears stable, though there is slight darkening of the varnish layer consistent with age. There are no major signs of paint loss or flaking visible. The frame exhibits minor 'shabby chic' style intentional distressing, with some evidence of localized wear on the outer corners. This piece demonstrates quality color theory and a sophisticated understanding of abstract form, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s.
