Mid-Century Modernist Signed Abstract Architectural Landscape Painting

This is an original mixed media or oil painting on paper, characterized by a bold, modernist aesthetic with heavy palette knife application. The composition features an abstract architectural structure, possibly a cathedral or steepled village building, rendered in a palette of deep teals, slate grays, earthy browns, and punctuations of red. The background is constructed with rhythmic, block-like impasto strokes that suggest a stone wall or a dense urban atmosphere. To the left, delicate, skeletal white trees provide a linear contrast to the heavy textured buildings. The work is signed in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'A. Selvy' or similar, followed by the date '61', indicating it was produced in 1961. The painting is housed in a contemporary silver-toned wooden frame with a linen-textured inner liner and a thin metallic filet. While the paint surface appears stable with rich impasto peaks, there is visible minor discoloration or foxing on the linen liner. The paper substrate shows no immediate signs of buckling, though the dated nature of the piece suggests it belongs to the post-war European or American expressionist movement. The craftsmanship displays confident bravura and a keen sense of geometric abstraction typical of early 1960s gallery art.
