Balmain is an original oil streetscape by Australian artist Herman Pekel, signed Pekel at the lower left and titled on the reverse.<\/p>\n
The street curves between buildings and parked vehicles beneath a luminous sky. Strong tonal contrasts, cool shadows and expressive brushwork create depth and atmosphere. Presented in its frame with a pale mount, it is an engaging work for a collection of Australian urban painting or for someone with a connection to Balmain.<\/p>\n
