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.

Size: 79 x 89 cm (including frame)

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
£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
£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
£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.

Winter Light at Dusk
£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.

Houses by the Rolling Hills
£595
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A charming and picturesque mid-century landscape that captures a quiet cluster of houses nestled within rolling green fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

The composition centres around a small hamlet, its simple geometric forms distilled into blocks of colour: red and blue rooftops, creamy white façades, and deep green foliage. A single tree rises from the village centre, its broad, dark crown creating a natural focal point amid the surrounding patchwork of shapes.

Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces simplification and abstraction, reducing the landscape into harmonious, interlocking planes. The artist’s palette is earthy yet vivid: rich brick reds, moss greens, browns, and blues – all balanced by softer, muted tones in the distant hills. This juxtaposition of saturated and subdued colour adds depth and a rhythmic visual cadence.

Brushstrokes are confident and textural, with layered applications of paint that create subtle variations across the surface. Edges are softly defined, allowing forms to merge slightly into one another, giving the work its characteristic mid-century warmth and painterly charm. The result is a beautifully composed village scene that feels at once grounded and gently abstracted.

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

Intersecting Planes

Sold

SOLD

A large and very striking mid-century geometric abstract composition, painted in oil in 1955 by the established Swedish artist Bror Ingemar Fröberg (1921-1999), whose artworks have been represented in the Moderna Museum in Stockholm and the Sörmland Museum.

The painting is built from a dynamic network of interlocking shapes and angled planes. Triangles, diamonds, and irregular quadrilaterals converge and diverge across the canvas, creating a sense of movement that feels architectural. Though non-representational, the arrangement evokes rhythm, structure, and balance.

Executed in a geometric abstract style, the work relies on strong linear boundaries and clearly defined colour fields. The composition feels meticulously plotted, yet there is a softness to some of the edges that lends a human, hand-painted warmth. The overlapping forms create layers of depth and subtle spatial tension, typical of mid-century abstraction.

The colour palette is earthy and muted, and these grounded tones harmonise beautifully together. The balance of darker masses against lighter areas adds contrast and energy.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with solid blocks of colour applied in smooth, even strokes. Slight variations in texture and faint visible brush trails keep the surface engaging

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some light surface marks but overall, the surface still presents well, and these characteristics do not detract from the artwork’s visual impact.

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.

This oil on canvas is presented in an off-white wood frame with an inner linen border that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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
£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
£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.

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.

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.

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.

The Shifting Sky
£810
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid-century modernist abstract landscape composed in rich, geometric swathes of colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

This lively painting has abstracted a landscape scene into bold, horizontal blocks that suggest cultivated fields and farmhouses nestled among trees. The land is rendered in earthy greens, dusty pinks and mauves, transitioning toward cooler blues and lavenders in the sky.

The brushstrokes are broad, confident, and thickly applied. The sky dominates the upper half with layered streaks of cloud in muted purples, creams, and blues, evoking a moody, almost cinematic atmosphere. The artist’s minimalist approach to detail creates a sense of depth and serenity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the rhythm and quiet beauty of the countryside.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited ridged frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some surface wear to inner silver border (as shown), as well as a small loss to its upper left corner (as shown).

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.

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.

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.

Sea Catch
£455
Available

A brilliantly executed and lively mid-century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

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.

This oil on canvas is housed in a unique dark blue – green frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

Boats in Pastel
£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. Please note that due to the glass there are areas of reflection in the photographs.

Tribe
£750
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

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.

Close to a metre in width, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas comes unframed and can be hung as is. It is in excellent vintage condition.

The focal point of the composition is a figure in a blue shirt, seated at a table and engrossed in reading a book. The background depicts a winter landscape painting hanging on the wall that has been painted with a rich mix of green and yellow hues.

The artist has used the power of brushstrokes and a rich and striking colour palette to highlight emotion. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece.

Cradle
£915
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

Fields at First Light

Sold

SOLD

A tranquil mid-century landscape that presents a serene, panoramic view of open countryside unfolding beneath a pale sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959, measuring a metre in length.

Broad fields stretch gently into the distance, punctuated by a softly clustered stand of trees at the centre and a darker wooded horizon beyond. The composition’s horizontal emphasis enhances the sense of calm and quiet continuity, drawing the eye slowly across the land rather than toward a single focal point.

Painted in a restrained mid-century modern style, the work favours atmosphere and balance over fine detail. The colour palette is subtle and harmonious: warm buttery yellows and soft ochres in the fields are offset by muted sage and olive greens, with blush and dusty rose tones delicately shaping the trees. Above, a pale, airy sky in washed blues and off-whites lends lightness and openness to the scene.

Brushstrokes are loose and confident, applied in flattened planes with visible texture that gives the surface a gentle rhythm. The handling feels intuitive and expressive, allowing colours to softly merge at their edges while still maintaining a clear sense of structure. Overall, the painting captures a quiet, contemplative moment in nature.

This long oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen lined frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
