• Still Life with Blue Chair

    Still Life with Blue Chair

    £595

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking still life composition that centres on a blue wooden chair rendered with bold clarity, its angular structure anchoring the scene, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    Resting on the seat are three rounded green fruits, their placement both casual and deliberate. Behind, a partially opened window shutter introduces a sense of space and atmosphere, suggesting filtered daylight entering an otherwise enclosed interior.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and strong outlines. Perspective is intentionally flattened, lending the composition a decorative, almost architectural quality. The artist prioritises balance and rhythm over realism, allowing shapes and colour blocks to guide the eye.

    The colour palette is vibrant yet harmonious: dominated by saturated blues that define the chair and surrounding space, contrasted with lively greens and yellow undertones in the fruit and background. Accents of warm terracotta and muted mauve in the floor add depth and visual grounding.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Areas of layered paint and subtle tonal variation give the surface a tactile quality, while darker outlines enhance definition and structure. The result is a composition that feels both playful and composed, capturing a quiet, contemplative interior moment.

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

  • Old Town Reverie

    Old Town Reverie

    £475

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A contemplative and nostalgic 20th century street scene composition that captures a quiet yet animated urban square, where figures drift through a softened architectural landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

    Tall, weathered buildings rise in layered formation, their facades dissolving into one another. In the foreground, loosely rendered figures – some in conversation, others moving independently – animate the space with a gentle rhythm, giving the composition a sense of everyday life observed from a distance.

    The style leans toward a semi-abstract impressionism, where structure and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The artist has employed a restrained palette of light yellows, muted creams, soft greys, and earthy browns, punctuated by occasional darker accents in the figures. These tones create a hazy, almost nostalgic ambiance, as if the scene is filtered through memory or mist.

    Brushwork is expressive and fluid, with vertical strokes elongating the buildings and lending them a sense of quiet monumentality. The figures are sketched with minimal, gestural marks – suggestive rather than defined – allowing the viewer to interpret their presence and movement. Areas of paint appear scraped back or layered thinly, adding texture and depth, while softer washes create an atmospheric, almost ethereal ground.

    Overall, the painting balances structure and abstraction beautifully, offering a poetic interpretation of urban life – less about a specific place, and more about the feeling of being within it.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame that features a gently stepped profile with soft ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • A Gathering Across Planes

    A Gathering Across Planes

    £910

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking mid-century composition that presents a rhythmic display of abstracted figures moving through a fractured, almost mosaic-like landscape, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Gunnar Greiber (1919 – 2011), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet, VästerÃ¥s Art Museum, Sundsvall Museum, Östersund Museum, Hudiksvall Museum, as well as the Hälsingland Museum.

    Slender, linear forms – rendered in vivid red- suggest human silhouettes, gathering across a dense field of angular shapes. These figures feel both primitive and modern, evoking a sense of movement and quiet connectivity within an otherwise chaotic environment.

    Stylistically, the painting leans into mid-century abstraction with strong influences of cubism and figurative modernism. The scene is constructed from interlocking geometric planes, compressing depth and perspective into a flattened, dynamic surface. The figures are reduced to essential lines and nodes, almost symbolic in nature, contrasting sharply with the weightier, block-like forms that surround them.

    The colour palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds, burgundy, plum, and umber, interspersed with cooler passages of slate blue, charcoal, and muted lavender. Occasional accents of green and pale cream provide visual relief, while the recurring red linear figures create a unifying thread across the composition.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Paint is applied in thick, deliberate patches, giving each geometric fragment a tactile presence. The interplay between matte and slightly more saturated passages enhances the sense of depth, despite the overall flattened structure. The result is a compelling balance between order and spontaneity – an intricate visual rhythm that invites the eye to wander and discover new relationships within the composition.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant wood frame with a linen-lined outer border and an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blossoms Over the Bay

    Blossoms Over the Bay

    £1,055

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A vibrant and lively mid century painting of a coastal village, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The composition unfolds beneath an arch of oversized, blooming flowers, as though nature itself is framing the scene. Bright red houses cluster along a winding path that leads toward a small harbour, where boats rest gently at the shoreline. Figures move through the landscape, adding a quiet sense of daily life. The perspective feels intentionally playful, with scale shifting between foreground flora and the distant village, creating a dreamlike, almost storybook composition.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern, naïve style, the painting embraces simplified forms and a flattened perspective. There is a joyful, almost childlike immediacy in the way elements are arranged – bold outlines, decorative repetition, and a disregard for strict realism. The composition feels both spontaneous and carefully balanced.

    The palette is vivid and uplifting. Bright reds dominate the houses and flowers, contrasted by fresh greens in the stems and landscape. The sky and water are rendered in soft, airy blues, while touches of yellow in the path bring warmth and movement through the composition. White accents in the flowers and shoreline add lightness and visual rhythm, preventing the bold colours from overwhelming the scene.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible, confident strokes that give the surface a lively texture. Paint is applied in a slightly impasto manner, particularly in the floral elements, where strokes feel rhythmic and almost decorative. Outlines are loose yet deliberate, enhancing the graphic quality while preserving a sense of spontaneity. The overall handling feels intuitive – celebrating colour and form over precision – imbuing the painting with warmth and charm.

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

  • The Space Between

    The Space Between

    £640

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A 21st-century minimalist abstract painting that explores the interplay between negative space and geometric form with meditative clarity, executed in oil on canvas.

    Dominated by a large, white shape that stretches vertically across the canvas, the composition is framed by two symmetrical bands of muted green on either side. These green sections are not sharply delineated but instead curve inward with organic fluidity, forming the edges of the central void.

    Executed in a minimalist style, the work bears no visible brushstrokes, suggesting the use of masking techniques or flat application of paint to achieve a crisp, graphic finish. The simplicity of the colour palette – clean white and a subdued forest green – lends a serene, contemplative tone, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tension between form and emptiness, presence and absence. A subtle nod to mid-century minimalism, this piece balances structure and softness with elegant restraint.

    This work appeals emotionally through its stillness and subtle rhythm, and intellectually through its form-driven abstraction—a reminder that art doesn’t need to explain itself to be deeply affecting.

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

  • Contrasting Silhouettes

    Contrasting Silhouettes

    £860

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents the silhouette of 2 figures, rendered in bold and contrasting colours of orange, black, grey, and white, against a deep black backdrop. The figures stand side by side, their forms simplified and stripped of realistic detail, emphasising their shapes and the dynamic interplay of colours.

    The abstract nature of the painting draws attention to the contrast between the hues, creating a sense of depth and movement within the piece. The overall effect is striking, with the stark background intensifying the vibrancy of the figures.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some light marks, but nothing that detracts from its overall appearance. The frame has a small mark at its bottom left corner.

  • Golden Fields

    Golden Fields

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century modern landscape that presents a cluster of farmhouses set against expansive, sun-washed fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

    The composition centres on a group of simplified farmhouses: white-walled structures with gently sloping roofs – arranged in quiet dialogue with one another. Beyond them, bands of cultivated land stretch horizontally toward a dark green tree line and a pale, open sky, creating a sense of stillness and breadth.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and clarity. Architectural forms are pared back to essential geometric shapes, with clean rooflines and block-like walls that emphasise structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the buildings and landscape to sit harmoniously within layered planes of colour rather than deep spatial recession.

    The colour palette is warm and restrained. Soft browns and golden yellows dominate the fields, evoking late afternoon light, while muted sage and olive greens define the distant horizon. The buildings are rendered in creamy whites and pale neutrals, their roofs in earthy taupes and browns. The sky, a gentle wash of pale greenish-blue, enhances the tranquil atmosphere and unifies the composition.

    Brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, with broad, even applications of paint that create smooth expanses of colour. Subtle textural variations are visible across the surface, lending depth without disrupting the painting’s calm rhythm. The overall effect is one of serene balance : a landscape scene distilled into harmonious shapes and tones.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is presented in good vintage condition. There is a small loss visible to the upper middle area and another to the bottom left, as well as very small areas of craquelure present, consistent with age. However, these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the work.

  • The Patience of Form

    The Patience of Form

    £895

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a stylised female nude seated in a contemplative pose,  executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The figure is simplified into soft, sculptural forms, her facial features intentionally omitted, allowing the focus to rest on shape, balance and presence rather than identity. One arm bends gently at the elbow, while the body folds into itself with an elegant rhythm, creating a quiet tension between strength and vulnerability.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the work embraces abstraction without fully abandoning figuration. The anatomy is reduced to rounded, almost cubist volumes, with limbs and torso articulated through blocks of colour rather than strict line. The proportions are subtly exaggerated, particularly in the thighs and hips, giving the composition a grounded, monumental quality despite its intimate scale.

    The palette is cool and harmonious, dominated by muted blues, soft greys and chalky whites. Gentle blush pinks and earthy browns warm the lower half of the figure, while small accents of deeper blue and rust add visual punctuation. The pale, textured background enhances the sense of stillness, allowing the figure to emerge almost like a fresco against a washed wall.

    Brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Loose, visible strokes define contour and volume, with areas of dry-brushed texture that lend the surface a tactile, slightly weathered character. Edges remain soft rather than sharply delineated, reinforcing the painting’s quiet, introspective mood.

    This large oil on canvas is well presented in a wide-profile wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Where the Sky Rests

    Where the Sky Rests

    £810

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century modern landscape depicting a sparse rural settlement set beneath an expansive, cloud-laden sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two low, dark-roofed cottages sit quietly along the horizon line, their whitewashed walls rendered in simplified, almost geometric forms. A solitary vertical pole punctuates the composition, while angular planes of earth in the foreground lead the eye gently inward, suggesting embankments or cultivated land.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition embraces minimalism and balance. The buildings are reduced to essential shapes, their proportions slightly flattened, creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Space is expressed through broad horizontal bands – sky, land, and foreground – rather than through intricate detail, giving the work its serene, architectural clarity.

    The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by soft sand tones and deep browns. The sky is a subtle wash of pale grey with faint hints of green and blue, lending the scene a quiet, overcast luminosity. Dark charcoal accents in the rooftops and vertical elements provide contrast and anchor the composition.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint that emphasise shape over texture. Areas of soft blending in the sky contrast with the more defined, deliberate edges of the buildings and landforms. The overall effect is one of stillness and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is well presented in a well-suited wood frame with a grey-brown finish and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Abstract Horizon

    Abstract Horizon

    £675

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A mid-century modernist abstract landscape painting that captures a rugged, windswept terrain through expressive and gestural brushwork, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition evokes an expansive natural scene, possibly an autumnal field or rocky desert, with layered horizontal bands of colour suggesting depth and movement. The artist has used bold black forms scattered across the canvas, which could represent geological formations, shadows, or abstracted land contours.

    Rendered in a striking palette of earthy ochres, deep rusts, and burnt yellows, the warm hues contrast dramatically against the bolder black strokes. The upper section features a pale beige sky, creating a sense of atmospheric openness that enhances the composition’s spatial depth.

    The painting is executed with raw, gestural brushstrokes and areas of impasto, adding an energetic and dynamic quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

  • Sushi & Sake

    Sushi & Sake

    £585

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking contemporary painting that presents a vibrant Japanese-themed still life celebrating the ritual of sushi and sake, executed in acrylic onto canvas and dated 2003.

    Four boldly coloured fish are arranged in a neat horizontal line across a yellow tabletop, evoking the careful presentation of sushi before it is served. They are accompanied by a sake bottle, matching cups, chopsticks, and a small dish of rice, creating a scene that feels ceremonial, abundant, and quietly joyful.

    The composition draws on Japanese visual traditions while remaining distinctly modern. Forms are simplified and stylised, with a graphic clarity that recalls both folk art and mid-century illustration. Decorative foliage frames the scene, adding movement and balance while subtly referencing nature.

    The colour palette is striking and playful. Rich reds, cobalt blue, deep forest green, and warm golden yellow are set against a soft sky-blue background and a creamy, sunlit tabletop. The high-contrast colours give the work a lively, contemporary energy, while black and white accents ground the composition and provide visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Fine line details and dotted highlights bring gentle depth and refinement to the surface without breaking the clean, graphic quality of the work. The overall effect is bold yet harmonious, a modern homage to Japanese dining culture, celebration, and shared moments at the table.

    This artwork on canvas is housed in a complementary white floater frame. The painting has some very minor surface marks that are commensurate with age and do not detract from the overall composition.

  • The Laundry Room

    The Laundry Room

    £625

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A lively 1977 interior figurative painting that captures a lively domestic moment within what appears to be a laundry room,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    A group of women are absorbed in their individual tasks: lifting sheets, folding linen, tending to fabrics, and moving rhythmically through the shared space. The presence of cribs in the foreground adds a gentle narrative rhythm, evoking themes of care, routine, and collective responsibility. The scene feels observed rather than staged, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life.

    Executed in a gentle modernist figurative style, the composition prioritises atmosphere and emotion over strict realism. Figures are simplified and slightly elongated, their forms softened into painterly silhouettes. The spatial arrangement guides the eye fluidly from foreground to background, creating a sense of continuity between the women, their tasks, and the surrounding architecture. Tall arched windows allow light to pour into the space, reinforcing the feeling of calm routine and shared purpose.

    The palette is dominated by delicate, muted tones – powder blues, greens, soft creams, and pale lavenders – punctuated by warmer accents of rust, ochre, and terracotta in the figures’ garments. These gentle colour harmonies evoke cleanliness, light, and quiet introspection, reinforcing the contemplative tone of the scene.

    Brushwork is loose, expressive, and economical. Forms are suggested rather than fully defined, with thin veils of paint layered transparently to create softness and luminosity. Edges blur into one another, allowing figures and environment to merge subtly, while occasional firmer strokes articulate gestures and movement. The overall effect is intimate and atmospheric, capturing not only a place, but the lived rhythm and quiet humanity of shared work.

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

  • Suspended Dialogues

    Suspended Dialogues

    £1,455

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An intriguing and engaging abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2009 by contemporary Swedish artist Pontus Carle (b.1955).

    This abstract composition unfolds as a lively visual conversation, where floating forms and intersecting marks appear suspended in a shallow, atmospheric space. Suggestive rather than literal, the painting hints at figures, tools, and architectural fragments without ever settling into a fixed narrative. Shapes drift, overlap, and counterbalance one another, creating a sense of movement and quiet tension across the surface.

    Executed in a contemporary abstract style with subtle echoes of mid-century modern abstraction, the work balances spontaneity with control. Linear elements cut decisively through softer, rounded forms, while areas of transparency allow underlying layers to gently emerge. The composition feels intuitive and playful, yet carefully orchestrated.

    The colour palette is restrained but expressive, anchored by soft greys and off-whites, and punctuated with confident accents of black, ochre, mustard yellow, coral, teal, and muted blue. These touches of colour animate the surface, guiding the eye rhythmically across the canvas.

    Brushstrokes range from broad, gestural sweeps to delicate, calligraphic lines. Some passages are thin and translucent, revealing earlier decisions beneath, while others are more opaque and textural, lending depth and visual contrast. The result is a dynamic, layered painting that rewards close inspection and invites ongoing interpretation

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary slim white frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The work is in very good condition overall. There is a small dent located in the middle of the surface, which is subtle and does not detract from the overall visual impact.

  • Houses by the Sea

    Houses by the Sea

    £485

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a quiet coastal scene viewed from a gently rising hillside, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two angular, red-roofed houses sit nestled into the land, their simple forms silhouetted against a wide expanse of luminous blue sea. The composition draws the eye naturally from the darker, earth-toned foreground up toward the glowing horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and calm.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified architecture, balanced geometry, and an emphasis on mood over fine detail. The houses are rendered with bold, confident shapes, while surrounding trees and foliage are loosely suggested rather than precisely defined. This restraint gives the work a timeless, contemplative quality.

    The colour palette is both rich and harmonious. Deep greens, mossy browns, and muted browns dominate the foreground, contrasted beautifully by the saturated cobalt and ultramarine blues of the sea. Above, a soft, sunlit sky in pale yellows and creams introduces warmth and light, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Subtle flashes of orange and red in the buildings act as focal points within the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive yet controlled. The sky is built up with soft, layered strokes that create a gentle, luminous texture, while the landscape below features broader, more gestural marks, allowing colours to blend and breathe. The overall paint application feels confident and painterly, capturing both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The Open Window

    £490

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, serene and light-filled mid-century coastal scene viewed from an open window,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    This tranquil painting invites the viewer into a sunlit summer morning by the sea. The composition is framed by delicate, sheer curtains billowing gently inward, softening the transition between interior and exterior. Beyond the window lies a lush garden bursting with violet blue delphiniums and pale pink blooms, leading the eye toward a sparkling expanse of ocean where the sun casts a gentle shimmer across the water.

    Rendered in a soft, lyrical mid-century style, the palette is dominated by airy whites, fresh greens, pastel blues, and gentle pinks, creating a sense of calm and effortless charm. The artist has used light, feathery brushstrokes to capture the translucency of the curtains and the movement of the foliage, while smoother, blended strokes describe the distant horizon and glowing sky. Subtle impasto in the floral areas adds texture and depth, enhancing the sense of a garden alive with colour and breeze.

    A peaceful and evocative work that beautifully captures the nostalgia of coastal summers and the quiet poetry of a room opening onto nature.

    £615

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An evocative mid-century modernist landscape scene with figure, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting captures a solitary figure standing before a quiet winter landscape as an orange sun dips low against a muted sky. The composition is distilled into simplified geometric forms: angular rooftops, rounded treetops, and broad planes of snow – creating a serene yet contemplative atmosphere.

    Rendered in cool tones of slate blue, charcoal, dove grey and icy white, the palette is beautifully punctuated by the warm, amber glow of the setting sun. The artist has used confident, stylised brushstrokes, outlining forms with inky, expressive lines that lend the scene a graphic clarity. Areas of flat colour are softened by subtle modulation, giving depth to the snowy fields and the silhouetted figure.

    The overall effect is both still and cinematic: a quiet winter moment reduced to its essential shapes, colours and mood, with a strong sense of restraint and poetic minimalism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful frame with a grey-wash wood grain finish. The painting in good vintage condition overall – with some marks and warp to the canvas.

  • Moments Between Casts

    Moments Between Casts

    £475

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene mid-century figurative seascape that captures a tranquil moment between two fishermen, each absorbed in the gentle rhythm of the water, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    One figure sits hunched in a brown rowboat, lost in quiet concentration, while the other stands poised in a teal-hued vessel nearby. The composition conveys stillness and introspection: a wordless companionship bound by the shared ritual of fishing.

    Rendered with soft, fluid brushstrokes, the artist has evoked a hazy, atmospheric calm, where mist and water seem to merge. Muted tones of beige, umber, and sea-grey create a sense of morning light filtered through fog, with subtle highlights suggesting the sun’s pale glow above. The brushwork is confident yet soft, with details intentionally abstracted to focus on form and feeling rather than realism.

  • Echoes of the Street

    Echoes of the Street

    £605

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An atmospheric modernist style mid-century cityscape painting that captures a quiet urban street running alongside a canal, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used broad, simplified forms and minimal detail to emphasise mood over realism. The palette is composed of muted greys, earthy browns, and beige, softened by pale green reflections in the canal water. The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, with visible textures and layered tonal variations that add depth to the otherwise stark geometry.

    There is a quiet melancholy to the work, evoking a sense of solitude and introspection within the starkness of the urban landscape.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary ridged white-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs along its edges as shown.

  • Afternoon Lesson

    Afternoon Lesson

    £615

    Available

    Free UK Shipping only.

    A large and outstanding mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted 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 captures a tender moment between two figures, likely an adult and a child, engaged in a shared activity – perhaps reading – on a pale yellow surface held between them. The figures are rendered with bold black contour lines and simplified geometric forms, evoking a quiet intimacy and emotional restraint characteristic of modernist abstraction.

    The palette is soft yet expressive, with cool mint green and powder blue balanced against pale yellow, white, and black. Textural brushwork adds depth, especially in the background and garment areas, where layers of impasto reveal the artist’s hand. The faceless figures and stylized forms invite universal interpretation, evoking themes of mentorship, learning, and companionship without prescribing a specific narrative.

    Executed with a controlled yet expressive brush, this work speaks to the elegance of restraint – where every shape and colour block carries emotional weight.

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

  • Coastal Descent

    Coastal Descent

    £545

    Available

    Free UK shipping Only.

    A very soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures a sun-drenched coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The viewer is positioned atop a steep stone path that winds between whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and geometric stone facades, descending toward the vivid blue sea. Three figures clad in dark robes – possibly local women carrying items on their heads – add a quiet human rhythm to the otherwise architectural scene.

    Rendered in flattened planes and simplified forms, the painting embraces a distinctly modernist approach. The brushwork is thick and confident, with textures and scumbled surfaces lending weight to the cobbled path and sky alike. The palette is subdued yet radiant: earthy browns and clay reds contrast with greys, chalky whites, and Mediterranean blues, invoking both warmth and distance.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. The painting has small areas of craquelure present, but the paint layer is stable and it is in good condition overall. 

    Size:  64 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

  • Facade in Focus

    Facade in Focus

    £495

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    A striking street scene that depicts a neighbourhood with robust, urban buildings rendered in bold linear rhythm, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    The façades are portrayed in a schematic and stylised manner, as strong black outlines segment the pale grey and white surfaces. Set against a smooth grey street with cobblestone detailing, the scene is framed by brick pillars and a wrought-iron fence, suggesting a modest residential area. A lone tree, ablaze with orange and green leaves, punctuates the structured composition and introduces a vivid contrast—perhaps hinting at early autumn.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work is characterised by its simplified forms, matte application, and confident brushwork. There is little modulation or blending – colours are laid down decisively, giving the piece a graphic, almost print-like clarity. The result is a striking yet quiet depiction of place, both grounded in reality and filtered through a stylised, personal lens.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs, particularly at its top left corner.

    Size: 73 x 86 cm (including frame)

  • The Rail Yards at Dusk

    The Rail Yards at Dusk

    £565

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.

    Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.

    The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some loss as shown.

  • At the Counter

    At the Counter

    £1,050

    Available

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and compelling mid century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted onto board 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 scene captures three stylised figures possibly engaged in an exchange at the checkout – a familiar ritual rendered with striking simplicity and emotional weight.

    The central figure, dressed in black, appears to be a shopper in mid-transaction, while the figure in pale blue behind the counter suggests a cashier. A third, more ambiguously defined figure stands nearby, perhaps another customer or a child. The figures are abstracted, skilfully reduced to essential shapes.

    Thick impasto brushstrokes and rich textural layering give the work a tactile presence. The palette is earthy and architectural – orange, muted greens, brick reds, and cool greys – punctuated by flashes of white, lemon yellow, and cobalt blue, adding moments of vibrancy to the otherwise grounded tones.

    The composition is rhythmic and architectural, with geometric planes converging to form an abstracted treatment of space and perspective. The flattened forms and overlapping fields of colour speak to the artist’s modernist sensibility — elevating the ordinary to the iconic.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

  • Theatre Performance

    Theatre Performance

    £510

    Available

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and wonderfully painted expressive modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A male figure dressed in a costume and wearing a baroque mask punctuates the centre of the painting. He is in character and is depicted in action, as he performs on a stage.

    The artist has worked with a calm and restrained colour palette comprising light shades of blue, white and grey, and has skilfully paired the contrasting tones that not only harmonise so beautifully together, but also highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the respective forms.

    This oil on board is housed in a wide-profile textured frame that pairs perfectly with the painting. The painting has some areas of losses to the top section, as shown in close ups. The frame has some losses and wear, including an area to the top part of the inner frame slip, as shown in photos.

    In this scene, we see a group of three fishermen in a boat out at sea. They appear to have a net in their hands, awaiting for the catch of the day.

    The painting has been executed in an expressionist manner – the brushstrokes are visible and dynamic, moving in a myriad of directions and imbuing the painting with a sense of energy

    This painting would look perfect in a nautical-themed interior, or perhaps in a setting that is close to the sea.

  • Nude on Couch (Very Large)

    Nude on Couch (Very Large)

    £850

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A quirky and heavily textured mid-century figurative composition, painted on oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition offers a captivating glimpse into an interior setting where a nude figure reclines upon a couch, her posture relaxed with one knee raised. The subject’s gaze turns away, caught unaware.

    The couch where the figure lays captures our attention. Adorned with a striking floral print motif in shades of green and pink, it adds a dynamic burst of colour against the neutral backdrop.

    Beneath the figure, the floor unfolds in a black and white chequered board pattern. An apple with a single bite taken from it rests on the floor, introducing a subtle narrative element.

    Overall, it is a very thoughtful and interesting composition, with meticulous attention to detail as well as refined and heavily textured brushstrokes.

    This painting comes unframed, and is an oil that has been painted onto canvas which has been laid down to board, making the painting quite heavy. There is craquelure present to the upper left as shown due to thickness of paint.

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and atmospheric mid 20th century modernist pastel and gouache composition,  depicting boats docked at a harbour.

    Using a restrained colour palette comprising shades of black, blue and yellow, the mellow and muted tones  create an air of nostalgia in this piece.

    Loose brushstrokes though executed in a seemingly swift and unrestrained manner, are thoughtful and precise – wonderfully capturing the transient conditions of light and water.

    This pastel and gouache composition is housed beautifully in a wide-profiled light gilt (champagne) and silver frame. It is also glazed (there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the painting). The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of scuffing commensurate with its age.

    A large, bold and striking figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976, and comes unframed.

    The composition captures a moment of communal life as it presents a gathering of a tribe. Some members are seated in the foreground, surrounded by an abundance of fruit, fish, and drinks, while others stand behind them, holding baskets and jugs.

    The artist has employed a restrained yet striking palette of orange, red, white, and black. The deep black of the figures contrasts beautifully against the fiery hues, creating a dynamic and visually arresting composition.

    The clothing of the figures is adorned with patterns, including stripes, adding to the richness and depth of the piece. The artist’s technique of using dark outlines to highlight the forms enhances the clarity and definition of each individual and object.
