Picnic Under the Pines
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century figurative painting that captures a lively outdoor gathering beneath two abstracted pine trees, rendered in bold, expressive forms, and painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

At the center of the composition, a group of stylised figures sits together on what appears to be a picnic blanket, sharing a meal or conversation. Their forms are simplified yet evocative, outlined with fluid, gestural lines that emphasise connection and warmth.

Executed in a semi-abstract style, the painting merges figuration with vivid blocks of colour and dynamic compositional geometry. The palette features warm orange, deep forest greens, and rich reds, offset by cool blues and white negative space that lends the work a breezy openness. The brushwork is broad and textured, revealing the artist’s confident hand and intuitive layering of paint.

The overall effect is one of spontaneous joy and sunlit nostalgia—an ode to communal leisure in nature, filtered through the lens of modernist abstraction.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in execllent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Study in Repose

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed composition that presents a solitary, stylised nude figure leaning against a plinth in what appears to be an abstracted artist’s studio or model room, painted in oil onto canvas.

Composed in 1972, the painting captures a quiet moment of introspection and stillness, with the figure’s curved posture offering a gentle contrast to the geometric rigidity of the surrounding environment.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is constructed from flat, overlapping planes in muted tones of olive green, slate blue, warm orange, and deep maroon. The palette is cool and contemplative, creating a sense of psychological distance. A bold vertical panel in ultramarine anchors the left side of the work, drawing the eye toward the model. The right side recedes into architectural partitions and screens, painted in icy blue hues that hint at spatial depth without offering realism.

The artist’s brushwork is smooth and restrained, with minimal surface texture. Shadows and contours are suggested through tonal blocks rather than modelled detail, emphasising form over naturalism. This painting exemplifies a mid-century approach to figuration – introspective, architectural, and emotionally withheld – where the human form becomes part of a studied, constructed environment.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame painted silver. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

Verdant Echoes

Sold

SOLD

A striking and emotive mid-century abstract composition painted in oil onto canvas, by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The painting invites the viewer into a dynamic interplay of layered greens, icy blues, and deep emerald hues. Sweeping diagonals and overlapping forms create a sense of movement and quiet tension, evoking natural forms without direct representation. At its core, the painting pulses with organic vitality – its soft jade and moss tones offset by the smoky depth of midnight green and slate.

The brushstrokes vary in texture and direction, with areas of thick impasto contrasting with smoother, almost scraped-back planes. Textural accents and faint gestural arcs emerge through the surface, suggesting a hidden geometry or memory. With a palette both cool and contemplative, Verdant Echoes reflects the era’s fascination with abstraction as emotional landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of paint but the paint layer is very stable overall.

Fruit & Brushes
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A painterly and expressive mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

This expressive composition offers a window into the artist’s studio through a rhythmic arrangement of objects – a terracotta vase, a lilac-toned pitcher, a cobalt dish of orange fruit, and a pair of blue tumblers holding delicate paintbrushes.

What sets this piece apart is the dynamic interplay of brushstroke and line. Thick, impasto layers are energetically applied, while the artist employs sgraffito – scratching into the wet paint with the back of a brush to reveal underlying tones and carve gestural lines into the surface. This technique adds both texture and movement, amplifying the painting’s sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

The palette is a sophisticated interplay of soft mauves, deep greens, and muted blues, set against a textured backdrop that shifts from diagonal to vertical strokes – echoing the tension between structure and freedom.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary hessian lined frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. .

Pitcher & Pears
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A expressive and lively mid-century still life from 1958 that captures a vibrant arrangement of fruit and a pitcher set against a boldly abstracted interior, executed in oil onto board.

A pear, an apple, and sliced citrus rest on a geometric table surface, while a pale blue pitcher anchors the composition with sculptural solidity.

Rendered in confident, textured brushstrokes, the painting channels post-Impressionist and early Modernist sensibilities. The palette is rich and varied, blending warm yellows, earthy browns, and intense reds with cooler tones of turquoise and blues. Each hue is applied with visible, gestural strokes that lend the work a sense of immediacy and rhythm.

The background is an interplay of vertical and diagonal planes, suggestive of drapery or wall panels, contributing to the dynamic spatial ambiguity.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame. The painting has some craquelure present, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some paint losses, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Dual Horizons (Set of 2)
£850
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century pair that captures a bold interplay of form and colour across two abstract compositions, painted in oil by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

One panel features a cool-toned palette of slate grey, deep navy, teal, and pale blue, punctuated by a vertical yellow accent and small geometric whites and blacks. A strong horizontal composition grounds the piece, evoking a minimalist seascape or terrain without literal reference. The brushwork is confident yet restrained, layering flat blocks of colour with subtle texture.

In contrast, the other panel warms the viewer with earthy browns, burnt orange, ochre, charcoal, and a flash of cobalt blue. Its broader, blockier forms appear as abstracted architecture or landscape, with rugged edges and expressive brushstrokes suggesting motion and depth. The juxtaposition of these two works reveals Oswald’s mastery in balancing contrast – between cool and warm, geometry and gesture, stillness and energy.

Each oil on board is housed in a very well suited frame with an inner linen lining and a gilt border. Both paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have very minor scuffs.

Size of each painting: 45 x 40 cm (including frame)

£440
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century interior scene that captures a quiet moment in a Scandinavian home, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1944.

The composition is anchored by a pale green tiled masonry stove – a traditional element of Nordic domestic architecture. A blue pitcher perched atop the stove adds a pop of contrast, while a single wooden chair with a blue upholstered seat invites the viewer into the space.

The composition leads the eye across a striped woven rug into an adjacent sunlit room, creating a gentle sense of depth and domestic continuity. Executed in a naturalistic yet subtly stylised manner, the painting reflects the mid-20th-century Scandinavian aesthetic of simplicity, functionality, and calm.

The palette is soft and harmonious, dominated by muted greens, warm browns, powdery blues, and hints of red in the rug. Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, lending a quiet clarity to the scene, while the treatment of light – softly diffused through the unseen window – imbues the work with a tranquil, timeless atmosphere.

This piece is both a nostalgic record of interior life and a meditative study of colour, form, and balance.

A evocative mid-century figurative painting that presents a nude female figure reclining gracefully on a vibrant, patterned armchair, executed in oil onto board.

Her pose – one arm draped behind her head and eyes gently closed – suggests quiet introspection or rest, capturing a moment of serene vulnerability.

Executed with textural qualities, the artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes that give the figure and background a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The style bridges post-impressionism and early modernist figuration, reminiscent of the School of Paris.

The palette is rich but softly muted: creamy flesh tones are offset by warm earth hues in the hair and chair, punctuated by bursts of red, green, and yellow on the floral upholstery. A cool grey-blue background provides a subtle contrast, enhancing the warmth of the figure’s form.

Overall, this piece speaks to the quiet power of stillness, rendered through a confident yet tender painterly hand.

Painted in an expressive, semi-abstract style, the composition features loosely defined cottages scattered across the hillsides, their rooftops rendered in pastel tones of rose, lilac, mint, and cornflower blue. The artist has used a restrained, earthy palette dominated by yellows, greys, and soft creams, punctuated by these subtle touches of colour that lend the work a nostalgic yet dreamlike quality.

Collision of Colour
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An energetic mid-century abstract composition that explodes with motion and tension through a fractured interplay of geometric planes and bold colour fields, painted in oil onto canvas.

Abstract in nature, the subject is entirely non-representational, inviting the viewer to interpret intersecting diagonals and jagged contours as shifting emotional landscapes or psychological states.

The palette is vibrant and high-contrast: crimson red, emerald green, mustard yellow, cobalt blue, and burnt sienna pulse against a textured white backdrop. The composition is defined by strong black lines that cleave through the canvas, creating a sense of fragmentation and dynamism.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with textured areas where colour is densely applied, giving the surface a palpable materiality. Other sections are scraped back or layered thinly, revealing the canvas weave beneath and adding depth and texture.

Industrial Abstraction
£520
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly composed mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1957.

This painting is an abstract composition with a cubist influence, constructed from overlapping geometric shapes in a horizontal layout.

The artist has used a palette of muted earth tones—including shades of blue, olive green, mustard yellow, grey, brown, and black—with occasional pops of more vibrant hues like cobalt blue and ochre.

The forms resemble architectural or industrial elements—possibly buildings, machinery, or a cityscape—but remain non-representational. Thick, impasto brushstrokes give the surface a textured, tactile quality. The shapes interlock and layer, creating depth and rhythm across the canvas. Angled lines and blocks suggest both movement and structure, while negative space in pale grey balances the denser elements.

The rigid composition and strong use of form create a sense of architectural solidity, while still maintaining an expressive feel through painterly texture. The balance of order and spontaneity suggests an interest in form, design, and underlying harmony.

The painting is housed in a frame with a linen lined border. There is a small area of paint loss as shown in close up but the paint layer is stable overall. The painting and frame in good condition overall.

A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

The central figure, wears a softly patterned yellow garment that glows against the muted backdrop. Her jet-black hair is stark and angular, echoing the blocky architecture behind her. A small yellow cup, almost symbolic, rests at the bottom edge – a tender detail that anchors the composition with quiet intimacy.

Market Day in the Square
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century Naïve style street scene that captures the rhythm and warmth of a local European town square on market day, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition presents a bustling yet orderly gathering of figures amid open stalls and sunlit awnings, set against the backdrop of a grand building with a steep red roof and tall chimney that anchors the composition.

Executed in a naïve, folk-modernist style, the figures are rendered with simplified forms and minimal detail. The artist has used flat, blocky colour planes with earthy ochres, deep forest greens, navy blues, and brick reds, punctuated by soft greys and muted yellows in the cobbled square and overcast sky.

Brushstrokes are direct and purposeful, with little blending. A defining feature of this work is the use of deep blue outlines – used not only to demarcate figures, umbrellas, and building edges, but also to bring coherence and rhythm to the composition. These cobalt contours give the scene an illustrative quality, emphasising form over detail.

Overall, this work balances architectural geometry with the spontaneity of human life and community.

The Letter Writer
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative and rhythmic mid-century abstract figurative painting captures a quiet, intimate moment of reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The central figure – suggested through simplified, sculptural forms – rests their head on one hand while writing or drawing on a blank page, immersed in thought. The face and body are deliberately obscured, inviting the viewer to project their own narrative onto the scene.

Executed in a muted yet warm palette of mustard, brick red, and soft peach, the work is layered with earthy tones and bold linear accents. The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and lightly textured brushstrokes, contrasting with smoother, pale passages of light to create rhythm and emotional weight.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white painted wood frame. The painting has a small bit of paint loss at its top edge, as well as some craquelure present (as shown) but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has minor scuff marks.

Size: 40.5 x 48.5 cm (including frame)

The Net Menders
£440
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative mid-century modernist landscape composition with figures, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting captures a quiet scene where two figures are engaged in the timeless ritual of mending nets. Rendered in broad, confident brushstrokes, the composition emphasises form and rhythm over detail, evoking a sense of labor and community grounded in place.

The artist employs a muted yet expressive palette: yellows and orange dominate the foreground, while greys, greens and blues define the sky and background. A bold block of red – a hut—anchors the composition to the right, adding architectural structure to the looser figurative forms. The figures themselves are stylised, almost abstract, with simplified forms, allowing posture and gesture to tell the story.

Expressive and directional brushwork lend energy to the piece, particularly in the sweeping green lines of the fishing net, which leads the viewer’s eye diagonally across the scene. The cool and vast expanse of sky, provides balance and contrast to the dense activity in the lower half of the painting.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Twilight Over Bay
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century modernist painting that captures a tranquil coastal landscape bathed in the cool hush of evening light, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

A rugged shoreline dominates the foreground, its cliffs rendered in deep charcoal, mauve, and sienna tones, leading the eye toward a serene inlet that reflects the muted sky above.

The brushwork is confident – swift, expressive strokes shape the rocky terrain, while smoother, more fluid strokes define the still water and clouded sky. The pale turquoise sea contrasts gently against the darker crags, suggesting the last light of day catching on the water’s surface.

The sky is softened by horizontal swathes of greys, pinks, and purples, evoking a moment just before dusk settles.

This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very engaging and beautifully presented contemporary abstract composition, painted on to canvas by British artist Frances Daws.

The Forest Bathing series captures the feeling of walking through a forest on a warm day – how the light bounces off the leaves and shadows dance on the forest floor.

This small abstract painting, set within a deep white frame, presents a swirling interplay of earthy tones—olive green, beige, ochre, and hints of rusty red. The brushwork is expressive and gestural, forming a loosely circular or spiral pattern that seems to draw the viewer inward.

The layered, textured strokes give the surface a sense of depth and movement, while the overall palette evokes natural elements like moss, bark, and soil.

This piece conveys quiet energy and contemplative rhythm, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect within its modest scale.

Resting in Green
£620
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.

The paintings in this series respond to the calming presence of the colour green. Frances consciously spends as much time as she can outside. She lives close to woodlands and fields, making it easy to be immersed within greenery. Resting in Green seeks to capture the varying shades of greens within a snapshot of plants and how the relationship of these colours can form interesting compositions.

This fluid, abstract composition immerses the viewer in a serene, verdant atmosphere. Dominated by various shades of green, interwoven with hints of olive, moss, turquoise, and muted ochre, the work evokes the sensation of being enveloped by nature.

Organic, curvilinear forms ripple across the canvas, overlapping and intertwining in a way that mimics the foliage that Frances is inspired by. She employs layered brushwork and soft transitions between tones, creating a gentle rhythm that guides the eye across the piece.

There’s a meditative stillness in the work, capturing the quiet energy of an abstracted garden. Despite its abstraction, the composition feels balanced and harmonious, with light and dark greens playing off each other in a soothing visual dialogue.

Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

Light at the End
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very atmospheric and peaceful woodland scene, executed in oil onto board.

The composition draws the viewer’s eye into the distance, where sunlight breaks through a dense canopy of tall, straight pine trees. The path, dappled with light and shadow, winds gently forward, inviting contemplation and exploration.

The foreground is shaded, with rich, dark greens and earthy browns suggesting the coolness of the woods. As the eye travels along the path, the scene brightens, culminating in a radiant burst of light filtering through the trees in the background — the “light at the end” referenced in the title.

The artist uses careful gradations of light and realistic detailing in the foliage and tree trunks to create a tranquil, immersive atmosphere. The painting evokes a sense of peace, hope, and quiet movement toward clarity or resolution.

This oil on board is housed in a very light mint green frame, which suits it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 47 x 37 cm (including frame)
