Mid-Century Abstract Expressionist Mixed Media Painting

This is an original Mid-Century Abstract Expressionist painting, likely executed in oil or acrylic with potential mixed media elements on canvas. The composition is characterized by a dense, architectural arrangement of dark, skeletal black lines that overlay a textured ground of earth tones, including sienna, ochre, umber, and muted greys. The application of paint varies from thin, atmospheric washes and drips to thicker, impasto-like applications creating physical depth. The work shows a strong handle on spatial structure despite its abstraction, reminiscent of industrial or urban scaffolding. The piece is housed in a simple, low-profile wooden 'floater' frame of a warm brown tone, which acts as a subtle border without distracting from the artwork. Regarding its condition, the canvas appears tightly stretched with no obvious sagging, though there is visible surface texture and minor edge wear consistent with a piece from the mid-20th century (estimately 1950s-1970s). No signature is immediately visible in the provided image, but the sophisticated layering and confident brushwork suggest a professional hand. The overall craftsmanship is high, displaying a mastery of gestural abstraction typical of the post-war era.
