Lot 45: GIEVE PATEL(B.1940)

UNTITLED (NEAR THE BUS STOP) Signed and dated 'Gieve Patel 91' on reverse Oil on canvas 147.8 by 179.8 cm. (58 by 71 in.) Painted in 1991

Poet, playwright and physician, Gieve Patel’s expressionistic body of work, such as the present oil painting from 1991, Untitled (Near the Bus Stop), espouses the simple, poetic beauty of a solitary human interaction; the narrative of a playwright setting a scene; and the pathos of physician intimate with the human condition.
