      Est: $2,200 - $3,300

      Andrew Johnstone (British, 1933-2015), "Black Walled Ships", mixed media on board, 1994. An elegant abstract work by contemporary British artist Andrew Johnstone who created non-objective compositions with themes derived from the ancient world. His style and technique were very much influenced by modern artists including Ben Nicholson, Roger Hilton, and William Scott. Johnstone discusses his intentions for his art, "My own work is domestic and small scale. It is for looking at and enjoying in a home environment… just to be there and to feed the spirit and imagination. Balm for the soul, if you like. If a painting of mine does that and, most importantly, goes on doing that, then I am happy: it is a good painting as far as I am concerned."
