  • Lady in Waiting

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century vintage oil portrait, painted onto canvas and housed in a very complementary frame.

    An elegant female figure with her hair up in a bun and dressed in light blue sits patiently on a chair, with her arms folded. Her blue dress contrasts beautifully with the abstract background on red. Large, expressive swathes of red, orange and brown fill the canvas, and yet the artist has very skilfully used the background to draw attention to the figure, despite the strong colouring.

    This lovely textured oil is ready to hang. It is housed in a lovely light blue frame that suits it wonderfully. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Louise

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually striking semi-abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1989.

    The painting depicts a female figure seated on a sofa, with her legs casually lifted onto the cushion beside her.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist displays his painterly skills as he has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting lively colours that help to demonstrate depth to the painting.

    The facial details of the figure have consciously been omitted, inviting us to focus on the interplay of colours and shapes instead. The silhouette of the female figure has been highlighted by a black outline, and its sketch-like quality adds a spontaneous element to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a black floater frame, Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Movement

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very well executed abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    This abstract composition draws our attention to the inherent beauty in mark making and colour. There is a wonderfully balanced tension between control and looseness in the brushwork of the composition -the colours seem to flow effortlessly and yet the placement of each section and its movement is controlled and intentional. Varying shades of brown, orange and beige bring to mind raw natural elements such as rock, stone, and earth, so the composition could perhaps be inspired by this.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in an original mid-century slim wooden frame which suits it perfectly. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Picturesque

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and inviting modernist-style composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1969.

    The painting presents a scene by a window, overlooking a winter landscape. The artist’s masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture the intricate patterns of delicate white lace curtains that gently drape down the large window.  Resting on the window sill are a few small objects including a cat, a cup, as well as some flower pots, each contributing to the composition’s charm. Beyond it, a mix of brown barren trees as well as tall trees adorned with green leaves are growing proudly, providing a vibrant contrast against the white snow-filled grounds.

    The short, dab-like and expressive brushstrokes lend a transient and dynamic quality to the painting, as if capturing a fleeting moment in time. This technique enhances the scene’s ethereal atmosphere, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty of the scenery.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is light scuffing to frame edges.

  • Portside

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and very well executed mid century semi abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    We can just about make out what appears to be a view of a port – in the foreground we see the form of a docked boat, with several cargo containers in the background. However the artist has worked under a largely modernist ethos, abstracting the scene down to several block of colour, using the contrasting tones to create depth within the picture. The painting has a beautiful texture too – each brushstroke distinct and perceptible.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful gilt frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some wear in keeping with its age, and the linen border as some light age toning.

  • Still Life by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful mid 20th century still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents an interior setting, where a brown jug, red peppers, onions and a butter knife are laid on a wooden board, and placed in front of a window that overlooks a balcony balustrade.

    Distinct and rhythmic multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas, adding an expressive feel but also highlighting the objects’ three-dimensional qualities. A selection of contrasting rich and lively muted earthy colours including shades of orange, green and yellow have been used, deeply complementing one another.

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

  • Studio Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An excellently executed mid century nude composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist’s use of colour to create depth and contrast, his expressive and painterly brushwork, and the placement of each brushstroke and how it fits into the composition, are a showcase of his technical and artistic mastery. The composition is wonderfully balanced, with the perfect amount of negative space. A rich colour palette applied in long, broad brushstrokes draw our eye to the nude first. We explore the figure – angular and multidirectional brushstrokes that seem effortlessly applied have in fact been considered carefully, creating just the right amount of light and shade. The artist has left out realistic details of the figure’s body, and yet his allusions through the use of colour leave us perfectly content in knowing what we are looking at it – a fine example of his mastery with his medium and colour. The figure is set against rectangular blocks of colour which tease us into exploring the objects around the figure, while providing balance and harmony within the composition.

    The painting is in very good vintage condition and is unframed. It can be hung as is, or set in a new frame. There is a lining around the edges of the stretcher from the previous frame which has worn over time (as shown in close ups), but this can be easily removed.

  • Winter Fields

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intricately detailed mid century oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    A line of denuded trees tempt the viewer to look deeper into the painting, drawing our attention the little details that lay awaiting our notice. A row of farmhouses lay dotted along the horizon, giving the painting a wonderful sense of depth. As we move our eyes back toward the foreground of the painting, we notice the way the artist has painted the field, using his brush to delicately dab and stroke the canvas, portraying the tonal differences in the grass, without actually painting in any individual blades, showing off the artist’s technique and mastery with capturing the landscape with impressionistic quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with silver detail and linen lined border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Yellow Bottle

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually striking mid-century oil still life composition, depicting a group of objects including a bottle, some fruits, a piece of bread, and a butter knife laid across a tabletop.

    A restrained palette comprising shades of brown and yellow has been used to up this stunning composition. As appealing as the simplicity of colour and form are in this piece, the use of distinct and energetic brushstrokes confidently executed in differing directions adds even more character to the painting overall.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting has a small tear to the right side of the canvas, and there are very minor scuffs to the frame edges.

  • Coastal Musing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed abstract oil composition that captures the essence of a serene coastal landscape with a minimalist approach.

    The artwork portrays a figure on the left side of the composition, situated amidst a clifftop landscape of green and brown terrain, and with a visible coastline in the background.  Executed in an abstract manner, the artist has skillfully reduced and simplified these elements down to planes of contrasting colours that add depth to the composition.

    The figure, depicted in a silhouette form and uniquely outlined in blue, stands out against the earthy and warm tones of the surrounding landscape and terrain.

    The composition has an outstanding palette, consisting of muted cool shades of blue and grey, as well as richer earthy shades of brown and green.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it wonderfully. There are some scattered surface marks to the painting, and a tiny area of paint loss  to the top left, as shown.

  • Cubist Figure

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist figure composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of cubist works by Pablo Picasso, this painting also features fragmentation and abstraction. By breaking the figure and the interior scene down into distinct areas, the artist shows us different view points at the same time and within the same space which suggests their three dimensional form.  Yet there is also an emphasis on the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a textured champagne and gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    This oil on board is housed in a deep profile wood frame, with an inner cream coloured border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some ageing and paint loss to its inner border, but this is keeping in line with its overall style.

    The painting depicts a picturesque countryside with houses spread out across a vast valley with rolling hills. The silhouettes of the forms have been outlined with delicate and thin black lines, enhancing their presence against their surroundings.

  • Silhouettes at Sea

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small and enigmatic mid-century composition, executed in oil onto board.

    2 figures aboard a boat punctuate the foreground of the painting. The direction of the light obscures their details, creating silhouettes of their figures.

    Behind them we see another sailing boat, as well as a big ship passing. The artist has focused on the forms of the composition, playfully using a varied series of shapes and the contrast of light and dark to create depth and a sense of space.

    Lovely swirling brushstrokes capture the effect of the moving water, as well as the reflection of the water on the hull of the ship. A wonderful range of light pastel colours in soft hues of pale blue and delicate pink and yellow contrast against the dark silhouettes of the figures.

  • Thoughts by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An emotive and visually striking mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil on canvas.

    The painting features an interior setting, where a female figure is seated by a table and beside an open window with a view outside. With her face resting on her hand, she is not facing the viewer (us) and appears to be deep in thought.

    A beautifully textured mid-century street scene composition, executed in oil onto board.

    Place atop a table and set against a blue chair and a well-coloured backdrop sit a range of objects that include a flower pot with white flowers in bloom, and an orange.

  • Window View

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life oil composition, depicting a flower pot placed on a window sill, with a glimpse into the surroundings outside.

    Upon looking at the painting, our eyes are immediately drawn to the flower vase, as its bolder colours are in contrast to the light and gentle pastel shades of the remaining forms.

    Through the use of swift and straight brushstrokes, the artist displays his painterly skills by utilising bold outlines as well as qualities of the shading technique and smooth gradation of colour to not only give rise to the various forms in the composition, but also to give the illusion of depth and dimensionality.

  • Earthenware

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A bold and very striking mid century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A group of objects including 2 jars, a bottle, and an assortment of fruit punctuate the centre of the composition. Positioned against a rich white backdrop that could perhaps resemble a tablecloth, their colours are further enhanced, and the remaining colours in the background beautifully pick up the colours of the objects.

    A range of  saturated shades including brown, blue and green have been used, invigorating the work with depth and liveliness. Through the use of very confident and painterly brushstrokes that have been swiftly applied, the artist skilfully layers colours to form a raw textural quality to this painting. Furthermore, the gradient of colour as well as the bold black outlines wonderfully exemplifies each object’s three dimensionality quality.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a inner border that is painted white, which suits the painting very well. There are some light marks to the frame, but both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition overall.

  • Guitar Player

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition of a guitar player, executed in oil onto board.

    Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed the painting down to distinct blocks and geometric forms that overlap and intersect with one another. Each element of the figure and guitar seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

    The artist has also skilfully used contrasting colours as well as thin black and red outlines to highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the forms yet maintain a sense of flatness throughout the artwork.

    This oil on board comes unframed. There is some slight wear and losses to the edges of the painting, but this would be hidden if framed.

  • Italian Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style townscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts a town in Italy, featuring trees set amidst blocks of buildings.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has masterfully reduced the composition down to blocks and planes of contrasting colour, and explores the use of colour and brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space in this painting.

    The use of a gentle and muted colour palette adds an uplifting quality, and another striking aspect of this painting is the artist’s creative use of negative space. By leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the forms of the building and trees are accentuated, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The linen border of the frame has some minor age toning but this is in keeping with its age.
