A striking mid-century modernist abstract oil composition dated 1965, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

This painting explores the interplay of organic form, colour and movement. Large, loosely defined shapes gather and overlap across the canvas, creating a lively visual rhythm that feels simultaneously spontaneous and carefully balanced. The forms remain deliberately ambiguous, inviting associations with leaves, petals or fragments of the natural world without resolving into a recognisable subject.

The palette is particularly distinctive, bringing together powdery blue, fresh lime green, warm brown, burnt orange and earthy brick red, punctuated by bold areas of charcoal black. Sections of creamy white provide moments of openness between the denser passages of colour, while the contrasting warm and cool tones give the composition its wonderful energy.

Stylistically, the painting has a distinctly mid-century modernist sensibility, with an emphasis on simplified organic forms and expressive colour rather than representation. There is an almost collage-like quality to the arrangement, as individual shapes appear layered, interlocked and suspended across the surface.

The brushwork is loose, visible and wonderfully tactile. Short, overlapping strokes remain evident within the larger blocks of colour, creating subtle variations in tone and texture. Rather than striving for perfectly polished edges, the artist allows the hand-painted quality of the work to remain visible, lending the composition an appealing immediacy and warmth.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Morning Light
£595
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century interior painting that captures a simple wooden table positioned before a softly illuminated window, where a modest bouquet of freshly gathered flowers introduces the composition’s only vivid burst of colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist distils the scene into an elegant study of light, atmosphere and quiet domesticity, allowing the interplay between interior and exterior to become the true subject.

Executed in a refined modernist style, the composition demonstrates a thoughtful balance between representation and abstraction. Clean architectural forms, flattened planes and subtle tonal relationships create a calm, contemplative rhythm, while the generous areas of negative space lend the work an understated sophistication. The window serves as both a compositional anchor and a source of gentle luminosity, drawing the eye through the room and towards the softened suggestion of greenery beyond.

The palette is wonderfully muted, comprising warm greys, soft taupes, sage greens and gentle blue-greys, complemented by rich walnut browns within the table and window frame. Against these subdued tones, the bouquet introduces touches of crimson, ochre, deep violet and fresh green, providing a restrained yet captivating focal point.

Confident, deliberate brushstrokes define the painting throughout. Broad, vertical strokes animate the walls with subtle movement, while thicker, more sculptural applications of paint give weight to the table and flowers. The window and surrounding architecture are rendered with economical precision, allowing the texture of the oil paint to remain visible and enhancing the painting’s quiet, tactile presence. The result is an intimate and timeless interior that celebrates the beauty found in everyday moments.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Waiting by the Window
£850
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intriguing and enigmatic semi-abstract oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1948.

A solitary woman sits in profile beside what appears to be a window, her form pared back into simple blocks of colour and loosely drawn lines. The artist gives us very little detail, yet somehow there is enough to suggest a whole moment. Someone sitting, waiting, thinking or simply watching the world beyond the glass. Powder blue and pale green create a soft, almost dreamlike setting, while touches of mustard, pink and deep teal bring warmth and structure to the composition.

The painting is wonderfully presented in a simple but effective wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Blue Echoes
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition that explores the tension between mass, movement and negative space, painted in oil onto board by the established 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.

Rather than depicting a recognisable subject, the painting invites interpretation through its bold architectural forms and layered textures. A sweeping black arc anchors the composition, while sculptural passages of white, vivid cobalt blue and warm browns appear to float across a tranquil slate-grey ground, suggesting the remnants of a constructed landscape or an imagined industrial horizon.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work balances geometric abstraction with expressive, tactile mark-making. The composition feels carefully considered yet spontaneous, combining the structural confidence of post-war abstraction with the physicality of gestural painting. Areas of exposed underpainting and irregular edges lend the work an authentic sense of process, revealing the artist’s intuitive approach to building the surface.

The restrained palette of soft greys, charcoal black and creamy white is punctuated by electric cobalt blue and earthy browns, creating a compelling dialogue between cool and warm tones. These carefully placed accents energise the composition without overwhelming its quiet sophistication.

The paint surface is richly textured, with thick impasto passages applied confidently using a palette knife or broad brush. Heavy ridges of paint, scraped-back layers and expressive drips create remarkable depth, while looping linear gestures on the right-hand side introduce a lively counterpoint to the otherwise solid forms. The resulting surface is highly tactile, celebrating the materiality of paint as much as colour and composition.

This oil on board is presented in a silver frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are scuffs to the frame and marks visible to the pale sections of the frame. There is a small area of wear to the top section of the frame.

Where the Palms Sway
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modern townscape that captures the warmth and simplicity of a Mediterranean village through a wonderfully stylised composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs cluster together while a lone palm tree and broad-leafed plants frame the quiet street, evoking the relaxed atmosphere of a coastal settlement bathed in southern light.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist reduces architecture and landscape into bold geometric forms and flattened planes of colour. Perspective is intentionally simplified, allowing the rhythmic arrangement of rooftops, walls and pathways to create a harmonious sense of balance rather than strict realism. The composition possesses a naïve elegance, where everyday architecture is transformed into an expressive study of shape, light and colour.

The palette is both vibrant and restrained, pairing rich burnt orange roofs with soft creams, pale sage greens, muted blues and warm greys. A dramatic slate-blue sky provides striking contrast, enhancing the luminosity of the village while deep charcoal shadows add depth and definition. Bright green foliage introduces lively accents that guide the eye through the composition.

Confident, deliberate brushstrokes reinforce the painting’s modern character. Areas of flat, opaque colour are punctuated by visible directional strokes that lend texture and movement without overwhelming the clean geometry of the scene.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm honey finish and that features a stepped, multi-profile design. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Gathered Apples
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modernist abstract still life oil composition dated 1954, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

The painting depicts an abundant arrangement of rounded fruits or apples scattered loosely across a warm earthen ground. Rather than presenting the objects in a conventional tabletop arrangement, the artist allows them to overlap and drift across the composition, creating a wonderfully rhythmic pattern of organic forms. Their simplified shapes give the work an almost abstract quality while retaining the warmth and familiarity of a traditional still life.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modernist manner, the work favours simplification, shape and colour over precise naturalistic detail. The fruits are reduced to broad, softly defined forms, with their overlapping contours creating a playful sense of movement throughout the composition.

The palette is beautifully muted and harmonious, dominated by soft sage, olive and celadon greens alongside warm apricot, ochre and buttery yellow. These gentle tones are set against a dusty terracotta and rose-brown ground, lending the painting an earthy, autumnal warmth. Occasional touches of grey, cream and deeper moss green provide subtle contrast and definition.

The paint has been applied with loose brushwork, with visible strokes following the rounded contours of the fruit. Areas of colour are softly layered rather than heavily modelled, allowing the texture of the canvas to remain visible beneath the paint. Small flashes of lighter pigment along the edges act as highlights, while broader, slightly dry strokes give the surface a wonderfully tactile, time-worn character.

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

Landscape Remembered
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board by the established 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 composition distils the essence of a landscape into a harmonious arrangement of geometric forms and expressive gestures. Suggestive silhouettes of harbourside buildings and rolling headlands stretch across a broad horizon, while sweeping black marks evoke the movement of seabirds or drifting clouds overhead. Rather than depicting a specific place, the artist captures the memory and atmosphere of a landscape through abstraction.

Rendered in a beautifully restrained palette of warm greys, taupe and charcoal, the composition is enlivened by carefully placed accents of cobalt blue, burnt sienna, ochre, soft sage and pale lemon. These vibrant passages punctuate the muted tones, lending the work a quiet sense of rhythm and vitality without disturbing its overall serenity.

Confident, deliberate brushwork characterises the painting throughout. Crisp, flat planes of colour are balanced by spontaneous gestural strokes, textured impasto passages and exposed painterly marks that reveal the artist’s process. The interplay between controlled geometry and expressive abstraction creates a composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

This oil on board is presented in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs mainly at the inner section.

Summer Path
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and lively mid-century modern landscape that depicts a winding country path leading through open fields toward a cluster of farm buildings beneath a cloud-filled sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rather than focusing on fine detail, the artist reduces the scene to simplified forms and planes of colour, capturing the atmosphere and rhythm of the landscape setting.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the composition balances broad geometric shapes with a strong sense of space and light. The palette is soft and harmonious, featuring fresh greens, muted ochres, dusty pinks, pale blues, and gentle grey-lavender tones that evoke the changing light of a summer afternoon.

The brushwork is loose, painterly, and confident, with sweeping strokes and flattened areas of colour defining the landscape. Visible energetic brush marks and layered passages lend the work a spontaneous quality, while the simplified treatment of trees, fields, and buildings reflects the expressive aesthetic characteristic of European mid-century modern painting.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition overall – there are small areas of craquelure are present but these remain stable and do not detract from the overall presentation of the work.

A Moment of Quiet
£575
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century interior still life depicting a simple table illuminated by soft natural light, with a solitary white vessel and dish arranged against a backdrop of windows and architectural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

Rather than focusing on narrative, the artist celebrates the quiet poetry of everyday objects, transforming an ordinary domestic scene into a contemplative study of light, balance and atmosphere.

Painted in a modernist style, the composition is carefully constructed through bold geometric shapes and strong verticals, creating an elegant sense of structure while maintaining an understated intimacy. The pared-back arrangement and generous negative space evoke a calm, almost meditative mood, allowing the subtle relationships between form, light and shadow to take centre stage.

The palette is sophisticated and subdued, combining cool shades of slate grey, charcoal, ivory, muted turquoise and deep blue with delicate touches of warm cream. These restrained colours harmonise beautifully, while enhancing its tranquil, light-filled atmosphere.

Confident, expressive brushwork brings the surface to life. Broad, textured strokes define the architectural planes, while layers of thickly applied paint create subtle variations across the walls, table and window shutters. The loose handling softens the geometry just enough to preserve a sense of warmth and spontaneity, resulting in a work that feels both thoughtfully composed and effortlessly painterly.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant silver-toned wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays minor age-related wear, including a tiny area of wood loss to the top left corner, consistent with its age.

£300
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A wonderfully textured figurative composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1976.

A figure is captured in the act of serving a drink. The figure blends seamlessly into an abstract backdrop where shades of white, light blue, greens and brown overlay one another. He or she appears as a natural extension of this delicate environment, and by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the figure’s form.

The subtle colours, applied with loose and unrestrained brushstrokes, create a textural and visually stimulating surface. Its expressive nature also evokes a sense of movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the scene.

This oil on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with multiple ridges. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

En Route My Love
£640
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very captivating and richly toned original painting by British artist Frances Daws.

Inspired by the quiet familiarity of travelling the same country roads time and time again, Frances distils the landscape into memory rather than reality. Instead of capturing every field and hedgerow, she paints the essence of a place as it lingers in the mind.

A deliberately muted palette of deep greens, earthy reds and soft pinks creates a gentle rhythm across the canvas, while subtle glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath our own recollections. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and elusive. Less a specific view, and more the feeling of passing through the countryside, where memories blur into one another with every journey.

The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

Fleeting Glances
£640
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and richly coloured original painting by British artist Frances Daws.

In this expressive landscape, Frances Daws explores not the countryside as it appears, but as it is remembered after countless journeys along the same familiar roads. Shapes dissolve into broad, confident brushstrokes, while a restrained palette of deep greens, warm ochres and soft pinks allows shifts in tone to take centre stage.

The landscape feels as though it is constantly moving. Glimpsed from a car window, recalled later in fragments, and reassembled through memory rather than observation. Areas of exposed underpainting peek through the composition, lending a sense of depth and cohesion while reminding us that, much like our own recollections, every landscape is built layer by layer. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and wonderfully familiar, inviting the viewer to fill in the details with memories of journeys of their own

From Lacock to Bath
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and vividly coloured painting by British artist Frances Daws.

“From Lacock to Bath” captures the fleeting impressions gathered along one of the West Country’s most familiar routes. Rather than documenting a particular view, Frances paints the landscape as it settles in the memory after repeated journeys, rolling hills reduced to confident, flowing shapes and a carefully restrained palette of deep greens, rich earth tones and soft pinks. The subtle contrasts in tone create depth without relying on fine detail, while glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath the surface.

The result is a landscape that feels both unmistakably rural and beautifully universal, inviting us to recognise not a place, but the familiarity of a journey we’ve taken many times before.

This painting on canvas board is beautifully presented in a in white St Ives style frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Verdant Passage
£685
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An energetic and gestural abstract landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2015 by post-war Swedish artist Bo Swenson (1932–2022), whose artworks have been displayed in major public collections including the Swedish National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.

The artwork evokes the sensation of moving through a lush woodland rather than depicting it literally. Broad vertical forms suggest tree trunks, while sweeping fields of green hint at dense foliage, filtered light and the layered depth of a forest interior. The composition balances recognisable natural references with expressive abstraction, inviting viewers to complete the landscape through memory and imagination.

Executed in a distinctly gestural, modernist style, the painting favours spontaneity and movement over precise representation. Confident, oversized brushstrokes overlap freely, creating a lively interplay between solid forms and open passages of exposed canvas. Vertical black marks establish a rhythmic structure, while loosely applied green shapes soften the composition. The result is both dynamic and contemplative, capturing the atmosphere of nature through gesture rather than detail.

The palette is refreshingly vibrant, dominated by varying shades of rich greens. These are balanced with creamy ivory, warm buttery yellows and deep charcoal accents, producing striking contrasts that simultaneously convey freshness, light and shadow. The restrained colour selection allows subtle tonal shifts to create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony.

Brushwork is bold, immediate and highly expressive. Thick, loaded strokes sit alongside dry-brushed passages, adding texture to the surface. Sweeping arcs, broad painterly blocks and quick linear gestures overlap in an intuitive rhythm, while occasional exposed areas of ground provide breathing space within the composition. The visible hand of the artist imbues the painting with a sense of energy and confidence, making it highly engaging.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

The Waiting Bicycle

Sold

SOLD

A contemplative mid-century painting captures a tranquil domestic interior, where the viewer looks through a tall sash window towards a lone bicycle resting outside, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rather than making the bicycle the central focus, the artist celebrates the interplay between interior and exterior spaces. Long bands of sunlight stretch dramatically across the window frame and sill, transforming an everyday scene into a study of light, shadow, and quiet observation. The composition evokes a sense of calm, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty found in an ordinary moment.

Executed in a refined mid-century realist style with subtle modernist influences, the painting balances careful observation with simplified forms and a restrained sense of geometry. The strong verticals and horizontals of the window create an architectural structure that contrasts beautifully with the organic silhouette of the bicycle beyond.

A harmonious palette of honey yellows, olive greens, soft creams, and muted browns gives the composition a gentle, sunlit warmth. The golden exterior light is offset by the cooler grey-brown shadows within the room, while touches of muted blue on the bicycle provide a subtle focal point. The restrained colour scheme enhances the painting’s peaceful, timeless character.

The brushwork is measured and controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint that reinforce the stillness of the scene. Soft blending creates convincing transitions between light and shadow, while delicate variations in texture subtly animate the grassy foreground and weathered surfaces outside. Fine, confident detailing defines the bicycle and window frames without becoming overly precise, allowing the composition to retain its painterly elegance.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner stepped silver profile. Both the painting and frame are excellent vintage condition.

Stylised Fruit
£640
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant 20th century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1986.

Two stylised green fruit rest upon a pale tabletop, their simplified geometric shapes illuminated by strong directional light that casts long, angular shadows across the composition. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist celebrates the quiet beauty of ordinary objects through carefully considered planes of colour and an understated sense of harmony.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the painting embraces minimalism and geometric abstraction. The fruit are reduced to faceted forms, while the surrounding space is constructed from broad intersecting planes that create depth through subtle shifts in tone. The restrained composition evoke a sense of calm, allowing light and shadow to become as important as the objects themselves.

The palette is soft and sophisticated, dominated by cool aqua and turquoise blues that contrast beautifully with muted sage, olive, and pale green tones. Gentle greys provide balance, while small accents of dark charcoal and earthy brown in the stems and leaves introduce subtle definition.

The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, opaque applications of paint that reinforce the crisp quality of the composition. Clean edges and carefully defined colour fields create an architectural precision.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a silver grey wood-grain finish. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some scuffs to the inner area of the frame.

Where Light Rests
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A minimalist and elegant mid-century abstracted composition that distils the essence of a tranquil seascape into a beautifully restrained arrangement of form, light and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two simplified sailboats rest quietly upon still water, their dark hulls and slender masts emerging from an expansive field of soft ivory. A delicate burst of luminous colour behind the vessels hints at the first light of day or the gentle glow of a setting sun, creating a subtle focal point without disrupting the painting’s meditative calm.

Executed in a modernist style, the work embraces minimalism and negative space, allowing the surrounding emptiness to become as expressive as the subjects themselves. The composition balances precision with softness, reducing familiar maritime forms to their essential geometry while preserving a strong sense of serenity and contemplation.

The palette is intentionally restrained, dominated by warm whites, cream and pale stone tones, accented with charcoal black and touches of muted turquoise and soft gold that gently radiate through the centre of the composition. These understated colours lend the painting a quiet luminosity and timeless sophistication.

Brushwork is delicate and atmospheric throughout, with fine surface texture within the paint that creates depth. Thin, carefully controlled lines define the masts, while the hulls are rendered with confident, sculptural strokes. The surrounding paint has been softly layered and feathered, creating translucent washes and subtle tonal transitions that evoke mist, reflected light and calm water.

This oil on canvas is presented in a distressed style wood frame with a light gold gold finish that beautifully complements the work’s soft, neutral palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Garden Gate in Spring
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and uplifting mid-century landscape painting depicting a lush garden entrance, where a white picket gate opens onto a winding pathway beneath flourishing trees in bloom, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1961.

The composition captures an everyday suburban scene with remarkable freshness, celebrating the quiet beauty of a well-tended garden at the height of spring. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist conveys the atmosphere through simplified forms and an intuitive sense of colour.

Executed in an expressive, painterly style, the work balances representation with loose abstraction. The scene is built from confident, gestural brushstrokes that allow shapes to dissolve into one another, creating a lively impression of filtered sunlight, moving foliage, and blossoming branches. Broad sweeps of paint are contrasted with more deliberate marks that define the fence, tree trunks, and winding path, lending the composition both structure and spontaneity.

The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by an array of luminous greens ranging from soft sage to vibrant lime, complemented by crisp whites, cool blue-greys, warm yellows, and delicate blush pinks along the pathway. The interplay of light and colour evokes the warmth of a bright spring day, while the visible brushwork gives the painting an energetic, immediate quality that is full of movement and life.

This oil on canvas is presented in a well crafted wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Cottage Garden Gathering
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modern landscape captures the quiet rhythm of everyday life in a peaceful countryside setting, executed in oil onto board.

A modest white cottage with a steep charcoal roof sits at the heart of the composition, framed by leafy trees and a warm terracotta garden wall. Small figures animate the scene – two gathered around a table beneath the window while another walks across the lawn carrying a basket – bringing a gentle sense of domestic activity without distracting from the tranquil atmosphere.

Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is simplified into broad, confident forms with an emphasis on balance and mood over fine detail. The artist employs an understated palette of soft sage and celadon greens, creamy whites, blush pinks, deep slate greys, and earthy browns. Carefully placed accents of coral red and blue within the figures introduce subtle moments of colour that enliven the otherwise restrained composition.

The brushwork is loose, expressive, and painterly, with broad, visible strokes that allow the texture of the surface to remain evident throughout. Buildings and foliage are rendered with gestures rather than precise definition, while the sky is built from sweeping, layered strokes that create a luminous, atmospheric backdrop.

This oil on board is presented in a simple painted wooden frame finished in an off-white tone, complementing the soft, muted palette of the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Daphne
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

Set within a tranquil landscape, the painting depicts a sheep named Daphne by the artist, standing peacefully in an open meadow. In the distance, a small white cottage nestles atop a rolling hill, with a ribbon of smoke rising from its chimney beneath a brilliant blue sky dotted with stylised clouds.

Painted in a contemporary naïve style, the composition embraces simplicity, clarity and a sense of childlike wonder. The artist distils the landscape into softly undulating hills, clean silhouettes and carefully balanced forms, creating a scene that feels both timeless and quietly whimsical.

The colour palette is fresh and harmonious, combining lush greens with a vivid blue sky and warm cream tones that give the sheep a soft, luminous presence. Gentle beige accents define the animal’s face, legs and ears, while the white cottage introduces a subtle focal point that balances the composition. The restrained palette creates an atmosphere of warmth, optimism and pastoral serenity.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint producing broad, uninterrupted fields of colour. Subtle tonal modulation across the sheep’s fleece suggests softness, while delicate linear brushstrokes within the foreground grass add gentle movement and texture.

This oil on board is housed in a black painted wooden frame with a gilded inner trim. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Gentle beige accents define the animal’s face, legs and ears, while the white cottage introduces a subtle focal point that balances the composition. The restrained palette creates an atmosphere of warmth, optimism and pastoral serenity.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint producing broad, uninterrupted fields of colour. Subtle tonal modulation across the sheep’s fleece suggests softness, while delicate linear brushstrokes within the foreground grass add gentle movement and texture.

This oil on board is housed in a black painted wooden frame with a gilded inner trim. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Norma
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

A black ewe (named ‘Norma’ by the artist) stands calmly against a simplified countryside, framed by rolling green pasture, glowing yellow hills and a soft grey sky scattered with stylised clouds. With its gentle expression and sturdy silhouette, the animal becomes the quiet focal point of the composition, conveying a sense of contentment and innocence. The intentionally pared-back landscape enhances the painting’s contemplative mood, allowing the humble subject to command the viewer’s attention.

Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces simplicity and bold forms. The artist avoids unnecessary detail in favour of clean outlines and balanced composition, creating an image that feels both playful and quietly sophisticated.

The palette is restrained yet striking, contrasting the rich charcoal-black body of the sheep with warm ochre-yellow hills, muted sage-green grass and a softly graduated grey sky. Delicate touches of brown define the sheep’s face and legs, while the subtle golden tones in the landscape introduce warmth and optimism without overwhelming the composition.

Brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with carefully applied layers producing broad, even areas of colour and very little visible texture. Gentle tonal variation within the sheep’s coat and sky adds depth while maintaining the painting’s clean aesthetic.

Quiet Passage
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully atmospheric mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet rhythm of a valley through expressive colour and simplified form, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling hills frame an open plain, while hints of fields and pathways emerge from broad, gestural passages of paint. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist evokes the sensation of moving through an expansive countryside, where changing light and shifting weather become the true subject.

Painted in a lyrical, semi-abstract modernist style, the composition balances recognisable landscape elements with confident abstraction. Forms dissolve into blocks and planes of colour, creating a harmonious interplay between structure and spontaneity. The expansive sky occupies much of the composition, lending the work a wonderful sense of openness and calm.

The palette is soft and understated, featuring airy blues, sage green, muted teal, dusty pink, warm browns, sandy beige and touches of terracotta, all enlivened with creamy white highlights.

Expressive brushwork is central to the painting’s appeal. Thick, painterly strokes are applied with confidence, with palette-knife-like marks adding texture throughout the surface. Sweeping gestures define the sky, while shorter, layered strokes build the landscape below, allowing colours to overlap and intermingle. The result is a work that feels both immediate and contemplative, celebrating the expressive qualities of paint as much as the landscape itself.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt wood frame surrounded by a wide textured linen slip. Both the painting and frame are is in excellent vintage condition.

Quiet Shoreline
£625
Sold

SOLD

A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape depicting a quiet waterside scene beneath a luminous, overcast sky, executed in oil onto board.

Dense trees anchor the composition on the left, their rich foliage contrasting beautifully with the expansive sweep of pale water and sky beyond. In the distance, a solitary sailboat glides across the calm surface, while a faint shoreline dissolves into the atmospheric haze, creating an impression of remarkable depth and serenity.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting captures the essence of the landscape rather than its precise details. Broad, confident brushstrokes and softly blended passages allow forms to emerge naturally, lending the work a quiet spontaneity. The restrained composition embraces negative space, with the vast sky becoming as important as the land itself, reinforcing the painting’s contemplative mood.

The palette is beautifully understated, composed of muted greys, soft blue-greens, sage, olive, and deep forest tones, gently enlivened by touches of warm browns along the shoreline. The subtle tonal transitions between sky and water create an almost ethereal atmosphere, while the darker mass of trees provides a striking visual counterbalance.

Brushwork varies from expressive, layered strokes within the foliage to delicate, feathered applications across the water and sky. This contrast between richly textured foreground elements and the softly painted distance creates a convincing sense of perspective and invites the viewer into the peaceful stillness of the scene.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a gently distressed cream finish, and complemented by gilt detailing around the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there is some light craquelure visible on the inner top white section of the frame.

The Reader’s Bouquet

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modern still life that presents an arrangement of flowers in a vase, resting among neatly stacked books, executed in oil onto canvas onto board and dated 1968.

A single crimson tulip and delicate yellow blooms provide a lively focal point, while the surrounding books introduce a quiet narrative of contemplation and everyday domestic life. The composition feels intimate and unpretentious, celebrating the beauty found in ordinary objects.

Executed in a distinctly modernist manner, the painting embraces simplified forms and an intentionally loose composition. Rather than striving for realism, the artist captures atmosphere through expressive colour relationships and confident abstraction, allowing the objects to emerge through suggestion rather than precise definition.

The palette is wonderfully restrained, combining dusty blush pinks, muted sage and blue-greens, soft slate blues, warm creams and touches of earthy browns. These harmonious colours are punctuated by the rich red of the tulip, which enlivens the composition without overwhelming its tranquil mood.

Thick, impasto brushstrokes animate the surface, with generous applications of paint creating a richly textured finish. Broad palette-knife-like passages and visible directional strokes lend the work an appealing tactile quality, while areas of exposed canvas and layered paint reinforce its spontaneous, painterly character.

This oil on canvas board is presented in an elegant wood frame with an inner white border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

A black ram, aptly named ‘Walter’ by the artist, stands calmly against a simplified countryside, framed by rolling green pasture, glowing yellow hills and a soft grey sky scattered with stylised clouds.

Where the Street Bends
£530
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century modernist painting that captures the charm of a winding street, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

The composition leads the viewer around a gentle curve, framed by a procession of closely gathered buildings whose simplified forms and overlapping rooftops create a rhythmic architectural landscape. Rather than focusing on activity or figures, the painting celebrates the character of the built environment itself, transforming an everyday streetscape into a carefully balanced study of shape, colour and light.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist reduces the architecture to clean geometric planes and broad areas of flat colour. Perspective is gently compressed, allowing the facades and rooftops to stack together in harmonious layers that emphasise composition over strict realism. The resulting scene possesses a calm, contemplative quality, where atmosphere is conveyed through thoughtful simplification rather than intricate detail.

The colour palette is warm yet refined, combining terracotta reds, burnt orange, yellow and muted sage greens with cool blue-grey rooftops, soft taupes and a pale, luminous sky. A crisp white building in the foreground anchors the composition, providing striking contrast against the richer hues beyond. These carefully balanced colours lend the painting both warmth and serenity while guiding the eye naturally through the winding street.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate. Broad, even applications of paint establish the strong architectural forms, while subtle directional strokes and lightly textured surfaces add depth and movement without distracting from the painting’s graphic simplicity. The visible brushstrokes soften the otherwise geometric composition, giving the work a tactile quality and preserving the expressive character of the artist’s hand.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame that features a wide cream-linen finish and an inner gilt moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Cafe Corner
£500
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century figurative scene capturing two quiet moments at a cafe, painted in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a seated figure in a deep navy jacket and soft blue beret rests a hand on the edge of a round cafe table, their form simplified into warm, tonal blocks of colour. Behind them, another figure is absorbed in reading, rendered with the same softened anonymity. A bright window view opens out to terracotta rooftops and a leafy green tree, bathing the interior in a gentle, diffused glow.

Painted in a restrained, modernist style, the composition favours suggestion over detail. Colours are muted yet fresh – powder blues, sage greens, clay reds, and chalky neutrals form a harmonious palette. The brushwork is tactile and deliberate, with thick, confident strokes that create a pleasing sense of texture and movement. Figures and objects are shaped through broad patches of pigment rather than fine modelling, giving the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Crimson Conversation
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A bold and expressive mid-century modernist figurative composition, painted in oil and gouache onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

The painting depicts two seated female figures in vivid red garments, engaged in quiet dialogue or mutual contemplation. Their forms are abstracted, rendered without facial features, allowing posture and colour to convey mood and intimacy.

The painting bursts with saturated reds, deep purples, and yellows, offset by bold swathes of white and textured brushwork that creates a dynamic, almost rhythmic background. The foreground is punctuated by gestural strokes of lilac, grey-blue, and orange, suggesting fruit or textiles on a table.

Executed confidently and swiftly, the brushstrokes are layered and gestural, giving the piece a tactile quality as well as lively feel.

Garden Gathering
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century landscape painting captures a tranquil outdoor scene featuring two female figures seated at a round table in a sunlit garden, executed in oil onto board.

Set against the backdrop of a soft beige house with a deep, shadowed doorway, the figures appear engaged in quiet conversation or shared activity, lending the composition a gentle narrative intimacy. The garden around them is lush and alive, with tall grasses in yellow-green hues and trees whose canopies are rendered in cool greens, blues and touches of deep teal, creating a vibrant interplay of colour and light.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has employed simplified forms and expressive, confident brushstrokes. The palette leans toward harmonious earth tones, punctuated by cool blues and greens that evoke dappled shade and warm Mediterranean air. The brushwork is loose yet intentional, especially in the foliage, where strokes overlap to create texture and depth. The figures, though minimally detailed, are sensitively modelled through shape and colour, allowing their presence to feel both grounded and atmospheric.

Overall, this work offers a beautiful snapshot of leisurely outdoor life: serene, intimate, and rich with the warmth and colour characteristic of mid-century European painting.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream and white border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
