Jozef Mees
Modern Abstract Painting
Oil on canvas, 1961
143 cm × 112 cm

A bold and rhythmic composition from Belgian painter Jozef Mees (1898–1987), created during the mature period of his abstract work. Painted in 1961, this large-scale oil on canvas reflects Mees’ masterful use of layered color, structured geometry, and lyrical expression.

Rooted in post-war European abstraction, Mees’ work is known for its balance between intuition and construction. This piece reveals his ongoing dialogue with modernist form and emotional depth,  a testament to the quiet power of painting as a meditative act.

An important and timeless work that brings depth, energy, and presence to any space.
