Figures in Still Light

Sold

SOLD.

A nostalgic and introspective mid-century modernist style figurative 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.

The painting presents a serene and stylised portrait of two women standing before abstracted sail-like forms, possibly evoking a market or village scene. Rendered in soft, earthy tones, the figures are simplified with elongated features and flat planes of colour, emphasising form over detail. One woman wears a square-patterned dress with a pale headscarf, while the other is dressed in a dark, polka-dotted garment and a warm-toned head covering.

The background features a strip of brown that resembles a landscape, contrasted against a calm, powder-blue sky. These sail-like forms lend the composition a rhythmic structure and a sense of balance. The artist’s brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with a matte finish and subtle transitions in tone that suggest the warmth of light and atmosphere without overt shadow or texture.

Overall, there’s a quiet harmony in the restrained execution – subtle yet impactful, evoking the stillness of the scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some wear to its edges.

Lemon & Green Cup

Sold

SOLD

A refined and meticulously painted mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting presents a minimalist tabletop arrangement featuring a luminous yellow lemon placed beside a green cup with a delicate handle. The composition is anchored in simplicity, with both objects casting gentle reflections on the polished surface beneath them, adding a subtle layer of depth and realism.

Rendered in a realist style, the artist’s treatment is crisp and controlled. The background is softly blurred in tonal gradations of warm browns and silvery greys, evoking a sense of stillness and domestic calm.

The colour palette is restrained yet effective – the zesty lemon provides a vivid focal point, while the rich, mossy green of the cup lends balance. Brushstrokes are tight and precise, especially in the reflective elements, suggesting a highly skilled hand and a focus on surface texture and light behaviour. The result is a serene and contemplative work that captures the quiet beauty of everyday objects.

Nocturne Sail

Sold

SOLD

An atmospheric mid-century geometric abstract painting that deconstructs the essence of a boat at sea into bold, angular planes and tonal contrasts, executed in oil onto canvas.

Modernist in its ethos, the vessel appears anchored in a moody, segmented seascape rendered through a palette of smoky greys, deep charcoals, ivory, and earthy browns. The composition is structured with deliberate symmetry, as overlapping triangular forms evoke sails and hull, captured at rest under an overcast sky.

The brushwork is dense and expressive, with thick, textured impasto strokes building surface tension and drama. Each section of the painting – sky, water, boat – remains distinct yet integrated within a grid-like framework, showcasing the artist’s mastery of form and abstraction. Minimalist yet deeply evocative, the painting invites quiet reflection on solitude, structure, and the sea.

Pear Harvest

Sold

SOLD

A compelling and characterful still life composition executed in oil on board and dated 1964, 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 four pears clustered in an intimate arrangement, their irregular forms casting deep shadows on a softly textured tabletop. Rendered in thick, deliberate strokes, the pears exhibit a range of green and golden tones, highlighting the subtle variations in ripeness and light. The background is divided into muted blocks of beige and muted pink, adding a sense of modernist abstraction while allowing the forms to remain grounded and tangible.

The brushwork is notably expressive, with impasto applications lending a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the fruit and surface. Each pear is defined not by rigid outlines but by nuanced tonal shifts and textural contrasts, embodying the artist’s sensitivity to both form and mood. The overall effect is contemplative and earthy, inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects,

Quiet Horizon

Sold

SOLD.

A serene mid-century abstract painting that evokes the vastness and tranquillity of a minimalist landscape, where land meets sky in quiet harmony, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is defined by broad, horizontal bands of layered colour, suggesting fields, earth, and a distant horizon beneath an expansive sky. Though abstract, the piece evokes the meditative simplicity of nature viewed from afar.

The brushwork is confident yet restrained, with smooth, deliberate strokes that move horizontally across the canvas, enhancing the sense of calm continuity.

The colour palette is grounded in earthy greens, sand, rust browns, and muted blues, transitioning into a soft, pale sky in the upper two-thirds of the painting. The artist has used minimal blending, opting instead for a stacked composition of hues that interact gently along subtle shifts in tone.

Quiet Hours

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and expressive mid-century interior still life that captures a quiet, contemplative moment within a rustic domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

A sunlit table by the window holds a cluster of everyday objects: a ceramic pot, a coffee grinder, and a single blue cup and saucer – all rendered with dynamic and swift brushstrokes. Soft daylight filters through curtains, casting diffused shadows and illuminating the worn tabletop with a gentle, silvery glow.

The artist has used broad, gestural brushstrokes and a muted palette of earthen browns, greys, creamy whites, and soft blues. The treatment of light and surface recalls Scandinavian modernist sensibilities, where atmosphere and introspection are prized over precision. The composition is anchored by bold tonal contrasts, yet the brushwork remains fluid and expressive, suggesting the transient nature of morning rituals and quiet solitude. A small potted plant on the windowsill adds a subtle warmth, hinting at life beyond the frame.

Spanish Dome

Sold

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed cityscape oil composition, painted in 1958 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.

The composition features a cityscape of buildings including a tall church dome in Spain, set against a soothing clear blue sky.

Containing elements of abstraction and cubism, the artist has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting colours, and the deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on the overall structural highlights as well as on colour.

A vibrant and playful mid-century coastal landscape composition in oil, painted in 1961 by 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.

Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, this striking painting captures a lively coastal village scene through bold, expressionistic brushwork.

The clustered white houses with red roofs are nestled into a lush green hillside, rendered with quick, impasto strokes that exude energy and movement.

An array of rich and uplifting colours as well as distinct energetic and intuitive brushstrokes fill the canvas, imbuing the work with a sense of dynamism. The sea is painted with dynamic, arched strokes in blue and white, mimicking the shimmer of waves in motion.

The Cockerel

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style still life composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974) whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

This painting portrays a tabletop scene with what appears to be a cockerel figurine, a pot, as well as a bottle.

Working under a largely modernist ethos and containing elements of abstraction and cubism, the artist has skilfully deconstructed and simplified the scene down to geometric shapes and colour blocks, rather than focus on realistic detail.

A limited colour palette of muted tones—such as blue, grey, beige, and white—accentuated by vivid reds for the figurine’s comb and beak, have been used. This helps to create a balanced contrast, as well as create depth and space within the picture.

The brushstrokes are expressive and visible, adding a light tactile quality to the piece.

A Horse with No Name

Sold

SOLD

A charming and engaging contemporary animal composition that captures the profile of a brown horse standing alertly against a softly undulating desert landscape, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The composition is striking in its simplicity – clean, stylised lines and minimal detailing reflect a naïve or folk art sensibility. The artist eschews realism in favour of flattened forms and a muted palette of chestnut brown, yellow, dusty lilac, and earthy taupe.

The horse’s form is rendered with smooth, confident brushstrokes and solid colour blocks, lending it a sense of quiet dignity and presence.

This oil on board is housed in bold and striking green frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

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.

The figure, clad in a red headscarf and earthy-toned dress, is rendered with simplified yet expressive forms, evoking a moment of quiet introspection in nature.

The composition reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: bold brushwork, expressive abstraction, and a spontaneous energy that animates the landscape. The artist has used a rich palette of greens, yellows, sky blues, and dashes of terracotta, building depth and texture through broad, impasto strokes. The water shimmers with layered greens and whites, and the trees are defined with confident, gestural marks.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a minor scuff at its bottom right corner, as shown.

Afternoon Light

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

The painting presents a richly textured view of a domestic space segmented by walls and doorways, evoking a sense of both intimacy and distance, The composition leads the eye through a series of adjoining rooms, each anchored by angular furniture and luminous windows that suggest late afternoon light filtering in.

Rendered in bold, sculptural impasto, the brushwork is confident and geometric, with thick strokes that emphasise form over fine detail. The artist has used a sophisticated, somewhat muted palette of teal, orange, dusty rose, blues, offset by accents of coral red and pale lavender. The use of repeated rectangular forms – windows, tabletops, and chairs – imbues the painting with a rhythmic architectural quality.

Stylistically, the painting straddles between abstraction and realism, with the recognisable elements of the interior flattened into colour blocks and strong contours, echoing the influences of both post-cubist and modern design aesthetics.

Amy

Sold

SOLD

A expressive and striking mid-century modernist figurative painting that presents a confident red-haired nude figure poised on a simple yellow-backed chair, executed in oil onto board.

Set against an expressive green background, the composition balances minimalism with raw, tactile emotion. The subject’s relaxed yet upright pose exudes quiet strength, with one elbow resting on the chair’s back and the other arm crossing over the torso in a casual gesture of composure.

Painted in broad, impasto strokes, the artist uses a palette of earthy flesh tones offset by deep crimson for the subject’s hair, and contrasting chartreuse and mint hues for the chair. The lush green backdrop is abstract and textured, evoking an ambiguous interior or garden-like setting. The figure’s form is sculpted with angular planes and decisive blocks of colour, reflecting the influence of modernist reduction.

Boats by Moonlight

Sold

SOLD.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

This composition depicts a harbour view at night, with the moon casting its light on the boat, buildings and figures.

The painting captures the essence of a shoreline scene through abstraction, distilling it into pure colour and form. Divided into horizontal bands of colour, the composition evokes the meeting of sky, sea, and land with a minimalist, yet deeply atmospheric approach.

Rendered in an abstract style and reminiscent of Colour Field painting, the artist has used a harmonious palette of soft lavender, warm orange, muted olive, deep turquoise, and pale sky blue – imbuing the work with a soothing quality. Broad, gestural brushstrokes have been executed, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through in places, creating a sense of movement and organic imperfection.

Collision of Colour

Sold

SOLD

An energetic mid-century abstract composition that explodes with motion and tension through a fractured interplay of geometric planes and bold colour fields, painted in oil onto canvas.

Abstract in nature, the subject is entirely non-representational, inviting the viewer to interpret intersecting diagonals and jagged contours as shifting emotional landscapes or psychological states.

The palette is vibrant and high-contrast: crimson red, emerald green, mustard yellow, cobalt blue, and burnt sienna pulse against a textured white backdrop. The composition is defined by strong black lines that cleave through the canvas, creating a sense of fragmentation and dynamism.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with textured areas where colour is densely applied, giving the surface a palpable materiality. Other sections are scraped back or layered thinly, revealing the canvas weave beneath and adding depth and texture.

Form & Field (Set of 2)

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century set of abstract paintings that presents a dynamic exploration of geometry, movement, and texture, executed in oil onto board.

One panel is anchored by overlapping arch forms that slice through fields of green and magenta, intersected by rectilinear blocks in turquoise, purple, and orange. The other panel contrasts this with an organic constellation of amoeba-like shapes in plum, teal, and periwinkle, suspended over a rich patchwork of angled planes.

Rendered in a meticulous crosshatch technique, the surface of each panel vibrates with energy. The artist has used fine, directional brushstrokes to build a complex tactile field, imbuing the composition with a sense of movement and dimensionality. The colour palette is both earthy and vibrant.

Together, the panels evoke the duality of logic and intuition, with the left panel leaning toward structured geometry and the right into fluid abstraction, making this set a compelling addition to any art collection.

A bold and brilliantly executed mid-century modern painting that presents an abstracted interpretation of architectural forms or structures, executed in oil onto paper and framed behind glass.

The style is distinctly abstract, drawing influences from Cubism, with an emphasis on geometric fragmentation and balance.

Interior with Red Chair

Sold

SOLD

A compelling and emotive interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1989.

In this composition, the artist presents a loosely rendered interior scene suffused with mood and memory. A single red chair, boldly defined in the foreground, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s gaze. Behind it, a soft turquoise table supports a glowing white pot, while indistinct shapes and brushstrokes in the background suggest an intimate room.

The style leans toward abstract expressionism with hints of figurative elements. Colours are layered in earthy tones – dusty reds, muddy browns, and muted teals – interrupted by flickers of yellow and white light that evoke a hazy, lived-in atmosphere.

The brushwork is gestural and textured, varying from thick strokes to smoother, blended sweeps, creating a dynamic tension between solidity and blur.

This atmospheric still life captures not just the objects themselves, but the emotional resonance of a quiet, familiar space.

Interplay

Sold

SOLD

A large, striking and very well balanced abstract composition, painted in oil with areas of collage.

This painting features a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and layered textures, rendered in a muted, earthy palette with bursts of colour.

The dominant tones are cool greys and greens, softened with washes of white and dusty blue, punctuated by vibrant rusty oranges, ochres, and pale pinks. Angular shapes interlock and overlap, creating a sense of movement and fragmentation. There is a textural richness to the surface, likely from mixed media or layered paint application—some sections are soft and diffused, others sharp and defined.

The painting fits within the realm of modernist abstraction, echoing influences from Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. It evokes a sense of organic structure and emotional intensity, while remaining non-representational—there are no identifiable objects, allowing the viewer to explore form, space, and rhythm freely. The mood is contemplative and complex, suggesting inner tension or transformation.

This is a piece that invites close viewing and personal interpretation, offering new shapes and meanings the longer one looks.

The painting is presented in white tray frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Light in the Study

Sold

SOLD

An evocative mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic study scene rendered with modernist abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

The composition is centred around a modest writing desk set against a softly fragmented wall, flanked by a chair and a stool. Overhead shelves cradle books and papers, while a stylised pendant light and a cupboard with colour-blocked panels add architectural intrigue.

To the left, a vase of red tulips placed on a counter offers a splash of natural warmth, creating a gentle contrast with the cool, muted palette of mint greens, dusky blues, pale purples, and earthy brows.

Executed in a flattened style, the artist plays with skewed perspectives and overlapping planes, lending the work a sense of spatial ambiguity and quiet introspection. The brushwork is smooth yet deliberate, with soft transitions in the background and more defined lines around furniture and decor, enhancing the painting’s structured yet intimate atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs present.

A brilliantly executed semi-abstract oil composition painted in 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.

Here we have a semi abstract composition of a man seated on a bench. Morsing has used a restrained palette- focusing mainly on blue, green, yellow and black. He has juxtaposed the lighter colours against the darker colours in order create depth and perspective within the composition. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, but we get a palpable sense that the figure is surrounded by trees and dappled light.

A whimsical and characterful mid-century naïve style street scene composition that captures the vibrant rhythm of daily life in a French village, painted in oil onto board.

The composition is alive with loosely rendered figures – vendors, villagers, and a donkey – all set against a colourful streetscape adorned with signage. The figures, painted in exaggerated forms, convey the artist’s playful yet perceptive take on character and movement.

Executed in a bold, expressive hand, the painting features flat planes of colour and simplified shapes, hallmarks of post-war European modernism. The palette is both earthy and joyful, with muted greens and blue punctuated by occasional splashes of red, yellow, and teal. Brushstrokes are thick and direct, lending the work a light tactile presence and raw immediacy.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner linen and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing.

Size: 50 x 74.5 cm (including frame)
