John Maitland's "Boy's Business" captures three young figures beneath a flowering tree in bold, gestural brushwork. This impasto expressionist work showcases the artist's masterful use of colour, with layered paint creating dynamic texture and movement across the canvas. The composition balances intimate figuration with the organic forms of nature, inviting contemplation of childhood moments and connection. The artist's confident handling of paint conveys both the spontaneity of youth and the quiet poetry of a fleeting moment. A striking example of contemporary Australian expressionism, this original artwork brings emotional depth and visual richness to any interior space.
