Stillness in the Sunlight

Sold

SOLD

A nostalgic and subdued mid-century modernist style composition, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

A female figure in a patterned brown dress and matching headscarf stands with her back turned, gazing out toward a sunlit seafront. Her form is silhouetted against a pale, softly radiant sky, while two distant figures walk near the shoreline, rendered in minimal, blurred strokes.

Executed in a minimalist modernist style, the painting features simplified forms and subtle geometry. The palette is muted yet warm – soft browns, beiges, and taupes contrast gently with the hazy whites and greys of the sky, punctuated by a sliver of blue on the horizon. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with soft gradients and diffused edges creating a dreamlike, almost cinematic stillness. The overall effect evokes quiet introspection, solitude, and the gentle passage of time.

Sold

SOLD.

A striking mid-century geometric abstract painting that captures an intimate embrace between three figures, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting is a wonderful representation of family, unity and protection.

Red Thoughts

Sold

SOLD.

An engaging and powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen board. Signed, titled and dated 2024 on reverse.

Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.

The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

This oil on linen board is housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 50 x 40 cm (including frame)

Rolling Greens

Sold

SOLD

A mid-century modernist landscape painting that features a serene rural scene characterised by geometric simplicity and muted tones, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

The composition highlights a cluster of cottages nestled within softly undulating hills and winding paths. The background reveals a gradient of forested hills and a distant mountainous horizon, conveying depth and tranquillity.

The painting embodies the principles of modernist abstraction, focusing on the essential forms of the landscape rather than intricate detail. The geometric approach creates a structured yet harmonious visual experience.

The palette is dominated by soft earthy tones. The subdued, pastel-like quality of the colours adds a sense of calm to the composition. The artist has used broad, smooth brushstrokes, emphasising shape and form rather than texture. The application is controlled and deliberate, reinforcing the structured yet organic nature of the landscape.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited white painted wood frame and an inner ridged gilt moulding. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some general wear and paint loss to frame, but it is stable overall.

The Letter Writer

Sold

SOLD.

A contemplative and rhythmic mid-century abstract figurative painting captures a quiet, intimate moment of reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The Long Walk Home

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist street scene that captures a quiet winter’s day in a small town, executed in oil onto canvas.

At the base of the canvas, a solitary figure in a dark suit walks up a winding snow-covered path, subtly dwarfed by the weight of the hillside and the architectural sprawl above. The rooftops are blanketed in white, their geometric shapes stacking rhythmically up the hill, leading the viewer’s gaze toward a large domed structure and ship masts silhouetted against the grey winter sky.

Executed in loose, confident brushstrokes, the artist evokes the crisp chill of the season with a subdued palette of slate grey, muted blues, olive green, and off-white. Dabs of subdued yellow and soft creams break the monotony of snow. The style is distinctly modernist, favouring mood and form over precise detail, with just enough figuration to anchor the scene in reality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The frame has some minor scuffing but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Under Cotton Skies

Sold

SOLD

A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

The composition presents two female figures in patterned garments standing before a village house. Their stylised, geometric forms – with elongated necks and angular facial features – evoke a sense of solemn stillness, as if frozen in a moment of contemplation. Behind them, two seated figures rest in shadow near the darkened structure, their presence subtle and understated.

The style is distinctly modernist, with a focus on abstraction and flattened perspective. The figures are rendered with minimal detailing but strong graphic patterns – each dress covered in repeated circular motifs that lend rhythm and cohesion to the composition.

The palette is earthy yet refined: warm browns and rust dominate the architecture and ground, contrasted by the soft powder blue of the sky dotted with cloud forms in pale white. The figures’ garments incorporate muted blues, greys, and browns, harmonising with the background while still offering visual interest through texture and repetition.

The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, leaning towards a matte finish with fine, consistent application. There’s a quiet harmony in the restrained execution – subtle yet impactful, evoking the stillness of village life.

A towering tree with deep green foliage stands prominently in the foreground, casting dappled shadows across the ground. Scattered stone ruins, softened by time and framed by distant cypress trees, dot the rolling landscape, guiding the viewer’s gaze along the gently curving path.

Executed in a semi-abstract modernist style, the painting simplifies forms into bold, geometric shapes while maintaining an organic flow. The palette is a harmonious blend of soft blues, yellow, earthy greens, and muted beiges, evoking a soothing atmosphere.

The Vibrant Terrace

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant and lively mid-century figurative painting that captures an intimate moment on a sun-drenched Mediterranean balcony, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1948.

The central figure, a woman draped in a soft blue garment, stands with quiet poise amidst a dreamlike coastal backdrop. The scene overlooks rolling green hills and an abstracted village, rendered in whimsical forms of pastel blues, lavenders, and white.

Executed in a Fauvist-inspired style, the painting delights with expressive colour contrasts and simplified forms. The artist has used loose, confident brushstrokes and rhythmic linework – most notably in the curving red balcony rails and the mosaic-like flooring beneath the figure’s feet. The palette is warm and exuberant: coral, cerulean, lemon yellow, and mint green blend harmoniously in an almost musical composition.

The brushwork is deliberately free and gestural, lending the piece a sense of spontaneity and emotional immediacy. This work evokes both the joy of summer and the gentle introspection of solitude.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the gold paint on the outer edge of the frame is flaking.

The White Boat

Sold

SOLD

A compelling minimalist coastal landscape painting that captures a moment of quiet isolation from a high vantage point, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2006.

At the heart of the composition, a lone white boat gently floats in a muted blue-grey body of water, its tilted angle adding a sense of drifting movement. The scene is bordered above by a dense expanse of deep greens – evoking rich, overgrown coastal foliage – which dramatically meets the waterline in a jagged edge, suggesting a tree-lined cliff or forested headland.

The painting is executed in a modernist style with thick, textured brushwork. The artist has applied broad, horizontal strokes to the water, allowing tonal shifts of grey, blue, and muted green to emerge. The foliage is rendered in expressive, layered swathes of dark greens, creating a weighty contrast against the pale expanse on the left – possibly a suggestion of open sand.

Despite its minimal detailing, the work conveys a powerful narrative of solitude.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white frame. The painting has minor craquelure present at its upper right area, but the paint layer is very stable and it is only noticeable upon close inspection.

When I Dream, No One is Home

Sold

SOLD

A captivating and enigmatic urban dreamscape painted in a surrealist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 2007.

The painting unfolds where rows of identical arched windows form undulating red facades that seem to stretch endlessly under a restless sky. A lone man in a tan suit stands solemnly in the lower foreground, his pallid expression contrasting against the architectural rhythm that engulfs him. A towering streetlamp looms large, nearly intrusive, disrupting the visual symmetry and deepening the sense of alienation.

The style leans toward Surrealism, with echoes of de Chirico in its spatial disquiet and uncanny atmosphere. The artist uses bold outlines and flat planes of colour to render the buildings, giving them a graphic, almost theatrical quality. The colour palette is dominated by deep reds, burnt siennas, ochres, and stark whites, under a blue sky dotted with stylised clouds.

Brushstrokes are precise and deliberate, creating smooth surfaces and crisp contours, particularly in the architecture and sky. The textures of the suit and hair of the figure are more softly layered, offering subtle contrast. The overall effect is dreamlike and contemplative.

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

Containing elements of abstraction, we can discern a house setting that has been simplified and reduced to blocks of contrasting colours and outlines that help define the contours of the surrounding environment and objects.

The artist has deliberately used a restrained palette that allows for a harmonious and balanced color scheme – with predominantly black and white hues with subtle hints of purple undertones in certain areas.

The masterful use of the impasto technique adds depth and dimension to the painting as well as a textile quality. Each textured and powerful stroke is imbued with a palpable sense of movement and emotion, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

Echoes of the Land

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century modernist abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents a stylised interpretation of nature through bold form and gestural brushwork. Two dark, vertical trees anchor the composition, their forms fragmented into thick, angular blocks of olive green, mustard yellow and inky black. The landscape is rendered as interlocking planes of colour – deep green hills, brown patches of earth, and a slate-toned pathway – leading the eye toward a serene body of pale blue water, all beneath a moody, indigo sky.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work distills the natural environment into geometric abstraction. The brushstrokes are broad and intentional, layered with visible texture that suggests movement and depth. The palette is earthy and subdued, yet infused with a quiet vibrancy, reflecting the artist’s affinity for structure and form over literal representation.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. There are some minor marks at the top central top of painting, but it is otherwise in very good vintage condition.

A charming mid-century modernist coastal painting that captures a serene dockside scene bathed in soft daylight, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.

Rendered in a harmonious palette of green, powder blue, yellow, and muted crimson, the composition is infused with a breezy, contemplative atmosphere.

Maritime Ship and Whale

Sold

SOLD

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.

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.
