A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An introspective mid-century modernist 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.

A serene and poetic scene unfolds beneath a pale blue evening sky, where two simplified figures stand in quiet conversation beside a cluster of whitewashed buildings. Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is reduced to pure geometric forms – the gabled roofs forming clean angular shapes against a flat expanse of blue.

The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric: powder blue for the sky, soft off-white for the buildings, deep charcoal for the ground and rooftops, and a delicate touch of brighter blue in the garment of the standing figure. A pale circular moon hangs in the sky, adding a gentle sense of stillness and introspection.

Brushwork is intentionally minimal and smooth, favouring broad, even planes of colour with softened edges that blur very slightly, giving the piece a dreamlike quality. The figures are reduced to silhouettes – faceless, quietly present – allowing the viewer to project their own story into the scene.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame linen lined frame with a silver border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

A mid-century painting that captures a fleeting atmospheric street scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is set against the backdrop of a large building. In the foreground, scattered figures in coats and hats move across an open square, their simplified forms rendered with brisk, confident brushstrokes. Leafless trees punctuate the composition, their dark linear trunks rising against the pale ground, while a lamp post anchors the right-hand side.

The artist has used a restrained yet evocative palette: earthy ochres and muted greens dominate the architecture and square, while deep blues, blacks, and touches of red provide contrast and rhythm throughout the work. The brushwork is bold and expressive, with textured strokes conveying movement and liveliness in the urban setting.

The scene has a strong narrative presence – figures cross paths under a dusky sky, hinting at the quiet routines of city life. The painting balances structure with spontaneity, embodying the modernist spirit of mid-century urban scenes.

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