  • Black Cat

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and engaging portrait composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

    This painting features a black cat reclining in a relaxed position, set against a minimalist two-tone background. The work is framed in a round black frame, enhancing its folk-art charm and giving it a portrait-like quality.

    The black cat is shown lying down with its front legs extended and tail curled around. It has a calm, observant expression. Vivid green eyes stand out against the black fur, giving the cat an alert and slightly mystical appearance.

    The painting has a serene and slightly mysterious atmosphere. The strong color contrasts and centered composition make the cat the focal point, while the circular frame adds a unique, almost medallion-like quality. It’s both whimsical and elegant—perfectly capturing the quiet power and grace of a black cat.

    This oil on board is housed in a black oval frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some light marks but is in good condition overall.

    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.

  • Grapes & Pears

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The composition features a golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of each form through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Love Under the Trees

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but vibrant modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a cosy outdoor scene with two people sitting on a bench under a lush tree.

    The scene is set in what appears to be a courtyard or plaza, with a cobblestone ground, benches, and a doorway in the background. A black and white cat is resting in the foreground, adding a playful element to the piece.

    The dominant green and yellow leaves of the tree contrast beautifully with the soft pink and blue hues of the background. The painting’s overall colour scheme is warm, inviting, and slightly whimsical, with a mix of pastel and bright shades.

    The painting features thick, visible brushstrokes, giving it a textured, almost sculptural quality. The outlines are somewhat rough and expressive, enhancing the sense of spontaneity and movement.

    This oil on canvas is enclosed in a simple white frame, which complements the bright colours and playful nature of the artwork without overpowering it. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £455

    Available

    A small yet very impactful mid-century modernist composition that captures the essence of a face, abstracted into geometric and textured forms, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is structured yet expressive, presenting a vertical figure with a strong, stoic presence.

    Rendered in a rich palette of mustard yellow, deep brown, and black, the painting exudes warmth and depth. The thick, impasto brushstrokes create a heavily textured surface, enhancing the raw, tactile quality of the work. The expressive layering of paint contributes to its dimensionality, making it a visually and physically engaging piece.

  • Pears & Glass Vase

    £1,050

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

    The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

     

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has water marks and wear across its inner border, and has some light scuffing present as well.

  • Echoes of the Coast

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A dynamic yet serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition captures a tranquil seascape with a bold yet abstracted and simplified approach. A vivid blue sky stretches above a deep azure ocean, with small landmasses appearing in the distance. The foreground presents rocky terrain with dynamic, gestural strokes of earthy tones—rich browns, and hints of purple and white—contrasting with the bright greens of greenery.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting embraces expressive and slightly abstracted forms rather than realistic details. The colours are vibrant, with a strong emphasis on blues and greens, juxtaposed against warmer, muted earth tones. The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident, with visible, textured strokes adding movement and depth to the composition. The sky exhibits smooth, blended transitions, while the land and sea are defined by more spontaneous, energetic marks, reflecting the raw beauty of a windswept coastal environment.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Surrealist Still Life

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The main focus is a still life arrangement, where the objects are flatly rendered, with strong outlines and solid colours, giving them a stylized, almost graphic appearance. The still life is set against a dramatic landscape featuring dark, jagged rock formations and a glowing yellow-orange sky. The horizon line is low, creating a sense of vastness and emphasizing the glowing sunset or sunrise. Two distant rocky outcrops are visible on the horizon, adding depth and a touch of realism.

    This painting is a striking combination of still life and landscape, juxtaposing the intimate simplicity of fruit and household objects with the grandeur and drama of a glowing, otherworldly landscape. The bold use of colour and form creates a stylized and dynamic composition, blending realism with abstraction. It evokes a sense of harmony between the everyday and the sublime.

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, but is in good condition overall.

    A brilliantly executed abstract figurative oil composition painted by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    In this small yet impactful composition, we can discern a figure walking on a pathway in a natural landscape with trees. Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and there is a strnog focus on brushstroke and colour.

    The scene is bathed in a restrained palette of muted earthy shades of browns and cream – evoking an emotive and nostalgic atmosphere.

    The brushwork is loose and dynamic, with visible, thick strokes that convey movement and spontaneity. This gestural technique gives the painting a sense of immediacy and emotion, drawing the viewer into the scene’s atmospheric quality.

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

    A mid century modernist sculpture in iron, attached to an off-white granite base.

    The sculpture features a tall, slender, abstract human figure. The figure is simplified into geometric shapes with sharp, angular lines, giving it a modern and stylized appearance.

    This iron sculpture embodies elegance through simplicity, using abstract geometric forms to evoke the essence of the human figure. The contrast between the raw, dark iron and the smooth, light stone base creates a striking balance, making it a visually compelling piece with a modern, industrial edge.

  • Olive Wood Apple

    £120

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small, intricately crafted sculpture of an apple made from olive wood.

    The sculpture is carved from olive wood, characterized by its rich, warm tones and distinctive dark grain patterns. The natural swirls and veins of the wood are prominently visible, adding texture and organic beauty to the piece.

    The apple is smoothly rounded, capturing the natural shape of a real apple with a slight asymmetry that enhances its realism. A small, curved stem extends from the top, also crafted from wood, possibly from a lighter shade of olive wood or another type of wood to create contrast.

    The natural imperfections and grain of the wood are embraced, contributing to its rustic and handcrafted feel.

    The piece is minimalist and realistic, focusing on simplicity and the natural beauty of the material rather than intricate detailing. It serves as both a decorative object and a celebration of natural craftsmanship.

    It is in very good vintage condition.

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed abstract figurative oil composition painted by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting features a group of figures rendered in a simplified and indistinct manner, suggesting movement or interaction in a serene, almost dreamlike environment.

    Abstract in nature, the figures are obscured, and their forms are perceptible only through carefully applied brushstrokes and contrasting colours which hint at their structure.

    The muted palette is dominated by soft tones of beige, cream, and light blue, accented by darker shades of black. These colours create a harmonious and calming composition while adding a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

    The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, applied with a sense of spontaneity and emotion.

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

  • Geometric Fun

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original abstract artwork, made up of paper that has painted, embroidered and then stitched together.

    The paper has been stitched to create a three dimensional form that is mounted onto board and protected behind glass. The paper has been painted with an abstract composition using acrylic paint, and each alternating strip has been painted with different colours. As a result, the artwork changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. If viewed from the right, we see a geometric patterning of red, black and yellow. When viewed from the left, a series of angled lines criss-cross across the lighter coloured surface. Although it is technically a static piece, we have in fact a very dynamic artwork that changes constantly. The paper itself has also been embroidered with an intricate pattern which gives it textured detail, visible when viewed closely.

    The artwork is presented in a black frame and protected behind glass. It is in very good condition. Ready to hang.

    Size: 27 x 27 cm (including frame)

  • Catching Hold

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very appealing and restful contemporary abstract composition, painted in acrylic onto birch panel.

    The painting is characterised by a very soft and gentle palette of greens, whites and the softest pinks. There is a sense of organic rhythm through this very well balanced painting. The brushstrokes are fluid, with the exception of little black droplet marks that add interest and depth to the piece. The pinks in the painting reveal slowly as one takes the time to look at and take in the painting.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary natural wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    A modernist style abstract composition painted in acrylic onto canvas board, by French born artist Nils Jean.
