• Mediterranean Escape

    Mediterranean Escape

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well executed mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape is rendered in broad, expressive brushstrokes with a modern, impressionistic touch. It captures a seaside scene full of warmth, movement, and coastal charm.

    The foreground is dominated by lush green foliage, painted with bold, confident strokes. The greens vary in hue, creating depth and rhythm.

    A whitewashed building with an orange-tiled roof is partially obscured by greenery. This architectural touch gives the scene a sense of place, suggesting somewhere Southern Europe.

    Behind the building, a sliver of deep blue sea stretches across the canvas, meeting the sky and separated by rocky coastal formations and windswept trees, their simplified, curved forms bending toward the sea.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and painterly, favouring emotion and movement over precision. The artist uses a limited but harmonious palette of greens, creams, ochres, blues, and terracotta, invoking the feel of a hot, breezy afternoon.

    This oil on canvas is set in an elegant linen and silver frame, lightly textured, which adds a touch of refinement while echoing the sun-bleached tones of the scene. The painting is excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age marks to the linen border.

  • Road Through Soft Hills

    Road Through Soft Hills

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a quiet countryside moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a road that winds gently through rolling hills toward distant blue-grey mountains. Slender cypress trees punctuate the scene, their vertical forms creating a calm rhythm against the open sky. Small, loosely suggested figures along the road lend a subtle sense of scale and movement, reinforcing the painting’s tranquil, unhurried mood.

    Executed in a modernist style, the landscape is simplified into broad shapes and planes, prioritising atmosphere and harmony over detail. The palette is soft and restrained: fresh greens and olive tones in the hills, warm browns and muted earth colours in the land, and cool blue-greys in the distant mountains. The sky is rendered in pale, airy blues with gentle cloud forms, lending the composition an overall lightness and sense of calm.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible strokes that softly blend rather than sharply define forms. The paint is applied with confidence, allowing texture to emerge subtly across the surface. This relaxed handling enhances the painting’s atmospheric quality.

     

    This oil on canvas is is housed in an elegant champagne-gold toned frame with black detail and an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Light Through the Arches

    Light Through the Arches

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An  atmospheric  interior scene that depicts a serene dining space where a sequence of arches opens into a softly illuminated space beyond, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

    The composition draws the viewer inward, moving through shadowed passageways toward a sunlit interior. Beyond the shadowed foreground, tables and chairs are arranged in gentle clusters, hinting at a dining setting.  The absence of figures lends the scene a contemplative calm, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet murmur of conversation and the play of light across tabletops.

    Executed in a classic mid-century modern style, the composition favours mood and structure over precise detail. Architectural forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing light and spatial rhythm to guide the eye inward. The palette is warm and restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep umbers, and muted blues, offset by soft creams and browns that suggest sunlight filtering through the arched openings.

    The brushwork is expressive and layered, with confident, textured strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Thicker applications of paint define the arches and furniture, while looser, more gestural passages dissolve into shadow, creating depth and atmosphere. The result is a quietly evocative work that captures both the intimacy and timeless elegance of an interior dining space suspended in stillness.

     

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary silver-toned frame with a an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and some age spots are present to the linen border.

  • City Blocks

    City Blocks

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century street scene that captures a pared-back urban landscape viewed through a distinctly modernist lens, painted in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Kurt Lindon (1910-1985), whose works can be found in the collections at the Stockholm City Museum, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Linköping Museum, Östersund Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, and the Borås Art Museum

    Low-rise buildings and taller rectangular forms are arranged in a calm, horizontal rhythm, punctuated by a slender vertical tower that anchors the composition. Sparse trees and simplified street elements suggest human presence without overt narrative, lending the scene a quiet, contemplative mood.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting favours structure and balance over detail. Architectural forms are reduced to blocks of colour, with an emphasis on proportion, negative space, and the interplay between verticals and horizontals. The perspective feels gently flattened, reinforcing the mid-century aesthetic and its departure from strict realism.

    The colour palette is subtle and sophisticated: soft greys, chalky whites, muted blues, olive greens, and warm earthy browns are offset by occasional touches of brick red and mustard. These tonal contrasts create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and calm.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet economical: broad, flat applications of paint define buildings and streets, while lighter, slightly textured strokes add movement and variation across the surface. The paint handling feels deliberate, allowing the composition and colour relationships to carry the emotional weight of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Cubist Street

    Cubist Street

    £590

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting presents a quiet street rendered through a modernist lens, where architectural forms unfold along a gently receding road, and  executed in oil onto board.

    Arched doorways, small staircases, and balcony details hint at a southern European setting, while stylised trees punctuate the scene with a sense of warmth and calm. The composition draws the eye inward, inviting the viewer to wander through this tranquil, almost dreamlike streetscape.

    This structured work shows clear Cubist and geometric abstract influences, particularly in the faceted treatment of buildings and ground planes. Forms are broken into angular segments and overlapping geometric shapes, flattening perspective while simultaneously creating depth.

    A muted yet expressive palette anchors the composition, with warm terracotta, blush pink, sandy beige, and soft browns tones contrasted against cool greys and dusty blues. Accents of green in the foliage introduce freshness and visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and purposeful, applied in broad, confident planes rather than fine detail. The layered paint application enhances the faceted Cubist structure, with tonal shifts used to suggest light, shadow, and architectural depth. The surface retains a gently textured, painterly quality that adds warmth and movement to the geometric composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a few minor scuffs.

  • Drift at Low Tide

    Drift at Low Tide

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric modernist style coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline at low tide, where land, sea, and sky dissolve gently into one another, executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    The composition is horizontally layered, with a wide, luminous sky pressing softly down onto a narrow band of distant water and a foreground of windswept beach and tidal flats. The scene feels expansive yet intimate, evoking the stillness of a pause between weather or the calm after movement.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction while remaining rooted in observation. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over detail. The horizon line is slightly softened, reinforcing a sense of openness and distance.

    The colour palette is restrained and harmonious. Pale blues, soft greys, and milky whites dominate the sky, creating an airy, light-filled backdrop. The sea is rendered in muted blue-green tones with darker accents suggesting gentle wave movement. In the foreground, earthy rusts, warm browns, sandy creams, and touches of olive and slate introduce warmth and texture, grounding the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and confident, applied with broad gestures. Thick, layered paint creates a tactile surface, particularly in the foreground, where sweeping strokes suggest sand, rock, and shallow water without literal detail. The sky is handled more softly, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s calm, atmospheric quality.

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

  • Hillside Pathway

    Hillside Pathway

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A joyful and pleasant mid-century landscape that captures the essence of a bright day, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition centres on a winding path that gently curves upward between two softened, block-like structures – suggesting houses – positioned on either side. Lush, expressive greenery flanks the path, giving the scene a sense of movement and breezy energy.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting favours simplified forms, bold shapes, and confident, gestural brushwork over fine detail. The palette is uplifting and crisp: vivid turquoise skies, velvety greens, sandy browns, and touches of warm terracotta on the rooftops.

    Broad, sweeping strokes convey the foliage with speed and spontaneity, while the smooth, curved brushwork of the path introduces calmness and flow. The overall effect is fresh and  optimistic, and captures the simple pleasure of a hillside walk.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful champagne wood frame with an inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Blue Cup

    Still Life with Blue Cup

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century still life that presents a calm tabletop arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts two ceramic jugs, a small blue cup, and a pair of apples – set against a simplified interior backdrop. The composition feels intimate and considered, with each form carefully spaced to create balance and quiet rhythm across the horizontal canvas.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has reduced the objects to solid, gently rounded forms, emphasising structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the shapes to sit confidently within the picture plane rather than receding deeply into space.

    The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: cool blues and soft greys dominate the vessels and background, contrasted by the warm yellow-green and blush tones of the apples. A muted green tabletop anchors the composition, while deeper blue shadows add depth and visual weight without disturbing the overall calm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and softly textured, lending the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are slightly softened rather than sharply defined, giving the scene a relaxed, contemplative mood. Together, the colours and brushwork evoke a sense of domestic stillness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen and gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some small water marks to its innermost parts, consistent with its vintage character.

  • Calm Coast

    Calm Coast

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline moment where 2 boats rest on pale sand as the tide gently recedes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    The coastline curves softly into the distance, leading the eye toward low hills and a scattering of seaside buildings that dissolve into the hazy horizon. The composition balances stillness and movement: the grounded boats anchoring the foreground while the waterline sweeps gracefully along the shore.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours simplification over detail. Forms are reduced to broad planes and subtle contours, lending the scene a calm, contemplative rhythm. The palette is restrained and harmonious, with soft sands, muted sage and olive greens, and cool coastal blues, all gently warmed by blush and sandy undertones.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, applied in layered, painterly passages that create texture without heaviness. The surface retains a light, airy quality, with visible strokes lending a sense of immediacy and atmosphere. Overall, the painting evokes a serene coastal pause – timeless, understated, and deeply evocative of mid-century European seaside sensibilities.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in  excellent vintage condition.

  • A Pause Between Places

    A Pause Between Places

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century figurative landscape that captures a quiet, contemplative moment at the boundary between nature and the built environment, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    A group of abstracted figures sit near a winding path, their forms simplified yet expressive, while a pair of stylised trees rise beside them – curving, organic silhouettes that anchor the composition. In the distance, block-like architectural forms suggest a town or cityscape, softened and abstracted to create a sense of calm detachment rather than urban bustle.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern idiom, the painting balances figuration and abstraction with ease. The artist has used flattened planes, rhythmic shapes, and a gently asymmetrical composition to guide the eye through the scene. There is a lyrical, almost poetic quality to the arrangement, where figures, trees, and buildings coexist in quiet harmony.

    The palette is warm and nuanced, featuring soft creams, sandy beiges, pale blues, and blush tones, punctuated by deeper earthy browns, rust reds, olive greens, and muted teals. These contrasting yet harmonious colours lend the work both warmth and depth, while maintaining a light, airy atmosphere.

    Confident, visible brushstrokes define the surface, with areas of loose, gestural paint layered against more opaque, block-like applications. Subtle scraping and overlaps reveal underlayers of colour, adding texture and movement. The painterly approach enhances the sense of spontaneity and modernist freedom characteristic of mid-century works.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a slight unevenness to the board but this is purely structural and does not affect the stability or visual impact of the artwork.

  • Hanging Sloth

    Hanging Sloth

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemporary painting that presents a whimsical depiction of a sloth suspended upside down from a gently curving tree branch , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition is pared back, allowing the single figure to become both the focal point and the emotional anchor of the work. Sparse foliage punctuates the scene, floating around the sloth like pauses in thought, reinforcing a sense of stillness and calm.

    The style is deliberately simplified, with a subtle nod to folk art and modern naïve painting. Flattened forms and soft contours give the subject an emblematic rather than literal presence, while the sloth’s rounded body and elongated limbs create a gentle rhythm across the board, anchored by the horizontal branch.

    A restrained, soothing palette of warm brown and taupe contrasts with a muted blue-grey background, accented by soft green leaves. Smooth, matte brushstrokes and a lightly textured surface enhance the contemplative mood of the piece.

    This oil on board is housed in a black painted wood 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.

  • Sloth

    Sloth

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemporary painting depicting a sloth gently clinging to a curved tree branch, painted in oil on panel in a deliberately naïve style by British artist Matt Rix.

    The figure is shown at rest, its rounded body and elongated limbs wrapped comfortably around the branch. A few stylised leaves float nearby, suggesting nature without defining a specific setting.

    The style is intentionally naïve and pared back, with flattened forms and simplified anatomy that draw on folk art influences. The sloth’s softly expressive face adds warmth and approachability.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious. A pale blue-grey background creates a serene atmosphere, while warm brown tones define the sloth and branch. Soft olive greens appear in the leaves, providing gentle contrast without disrupting the overall calm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled with a matte finish, emphasising shape and line over texture. The overall effect is tranquil and subtly whimsical, capturing a moment of rest and balance that feels both tender and contemplative.

  • Harbour at Rest

    Harbour at Rest

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century seascape that captures a tranquil harbour scene where moored fishing boats rest gently along the quay, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    The composition is anchored by two vessels, their masts and rigging forming a rhythmic lattice against a pale, open sky. A simple waterside building to the right introduces architectural balance, while the calm inlet reflects the boats in softened, broken tones, reinforcing the stillness of the moment.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours structure and mood over detail. Forms are simplified and confidently blocked in, lending the scene a quiet solidity and timeless charm.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious, dominated by soft greys, weathered whites, warm and earthy browns, with subtle accents of black and a touch of brick red along the roofline. These tones suggest early morning light and a cool coastal air, while the water is rendered in pale blues and silvery reflections.

    Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and clearly visible, particularly in the sky and water, where layered strokes create movement and texture without disrupting the overall calm. Thicker applications of paint define the boats and quay, giving them tactile presence and depth.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain as well as an outer gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Passing Light

    Passing Light

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive mid-century figurative painting that captures a procession of elongated figures moving through a softly lit interior space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rendered with a dreamlike sense of motion, the figures appear to overlap and dissolve into one another, suggesting the quiet anonymity and rhythm of everyday life. One central figure, subtly more defined and luminous, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s eye, creating a moment of pause amid the flow.

    There is an emphasis on mood and gesture over precise detail. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, lending the scene an introspective, almost existential quality reminiscent of post-war European figurative painting.

    The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by warm creams, sand, soft browns, and muted greys, with gentle accents of pale blue and hints of earthy green. These tones enhance the painting’s sense of light and space, while maintaining a calm, contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are loose, layered, and expressive, with visible textures that give the figures a transient presence. The paint is applied with a dry, feathered touch in places, allowing the background to breathe through the forms, reinforcing the impression of movement and impermanence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm, off-white tone frame that echoes the painting’s palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Mountain View

    Still Life with Mountain View

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative mid-century still life that presents a quiet interior moment set against a distant landscape,  painted in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a tabletop arrangement of fruit: a crescent slice of watermelon, a rounded green melon, and a dark plum sits alongside a simple tumbler, all positioned before an open window with shuttered sides. Beyond the window, a sparse rural scene unfolds: whitewashed buildings, rolling fields, and softly contoured mountains receding into a muted horizon. The composition gently balances interior intimacy with exterior openness, inviting the viewer to linger between the domestic and the expansive.

    Stylistically, the work reflects classic mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified forms, flattened perspective, and a deliberate restraint in detail. The palette is calm and earthy – dusty greys, sage and olive greens, soft blues, and chalky whites – punctuated by the gentle blush pink of the watermelon flesh, which acts as a subtle focal point. Darker tones around the window frame and tabletop anchor the composition and create a sense of enclosure.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Broad, matte strokes define planes and objects, while visible brush marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are softly articulated rather than sharply drawn, contributing to the work’s contemplative mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Cafe Corner

    Cafe Corner

    £500

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century figurative scene capturing two quiet moments at a cafe, painted in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a seated figure in a deep navy jacket and soft blue beret rests a hand on the edge of a round cafe table, their form simplified into warm, tonal blocks of colour. Behind them, another figure is absorbed in reading, rendered with the same softened anonymity. A bright window view opens out to terracotta rooftops and a leafy green tree, bathing the interior in a gentle, diffused glow.

    Painted in a restrained, modernist style, the composition favours suggestion over detail. Colours are muted yet fresh – powder blues, sage greens, clay reds, and chalky neutrals form a harmonious palette. The brushwork is tactile and deliberate, with thick, confident strokes that create a pleasing sense of texture and movement. Figures and objects are shaped through broad patches of pigment rather than fine modelling, giving the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Green Apple with Glasses

    Green Apple with Glasses

    £720

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined mid-century still life that presents a quiet tabletop arrangement composed of a dark glass bottle, a delicate wine glass holding a small measure of red wine, and a vivid green apple,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a cool, muted background, the composition balances solidity and translucence, with the reflective tabletop subtly mirroring the forms above it. A secondary, shadowed bottle in the background adds depth and a sense of spatial calm, while loosely suggested vertical planes hint at an interior setting beyond the table’s edge.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist mid-century style, the painting favours simplified forms and tonal harmony over strict realism. The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: smoky blue-greys and slate tones dominate the background, offset by the rich emerald of the bottle, the jewel-like crimson of the wine, and the luminous, almost electric green of the apple. These carefully placed accents draw the eye and create a gentle visual rhythm across the surface.

    The brushwork is confident, with visible strokes lending texture and life to the painted surface. Broad, matte passages contrast with more fluid, translucent handling in the glassware, where light and reflection are suggested rather than meticulously detailed.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame with visible grain.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Piano

    The Piano

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative painting dated 1978 that presents an upright piano reduced to its essential forms, transforming a familiar domestic object into a study of mood and structure, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The instrument is shown front-on, its keyboard stretching horizontally across the composition, with an open book of sheet music hovering at the centre like a quiet focal point. Subtle hints of pedals below ground the piano in space, while the surrounding fields of colour dissolve the setting into something more psychological than literal.

    The work favours simplification over detail and atmosphere over realism. The piano’s solid mass is rendered in broad, blocky shapes, lending it a sculptural presence, while the perspective is gently skewed, adding a sense of introspection and stillness rather than strict accuracy.

    The colour palette is both restrained and expressive. Deep blacks and charcoal browns of the piano are softened by surrounding planes of olive green, moss, muted yellow, and a warm rust-red edge, creating a subtle tension between cool and warm tones. The white of the keys and sheet music emerges softly from the darker body, glowing rather than sharply contrasting.

    Brushstrokes are visible and deliberate, applied in layered, matte passages that flatten the surface while retaining texture. Edges are softened and slightly blurred, allowing forms to bleed gently into one another. This painterly handling enhances the quiet, contemplative mood of the piece, suggesting not sound or performance, but the pause before music begins – a moment of silence filled with potential.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The White Doors

    The White Doors

    £515

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that presents a quietly striking view of a barn facade,  painted in oil onto canvas board.

    The composition is front-facing and architectural, reducing the subject to its essential planes and proportions. White doors – each slightly misaligned and marked by age – create a rhythmic sequence across the surface, punctuated by hinges, latches, and subtle irregularities in the wood.

    Stylistically, the work reflects a mid-century modern sensibility, where everyday vernacular architecture is treated with restraint and formal clarity. The artist balances realism with a gently abstracted approach, emphasising geometry, repetition, and surface texture over narrative detail.

    The colour palette is warm yet grounded: rich reds dominate the background, softened by the chalky whites and pale greys of the doors. Muted shadows and earthy undertones add depth, while the roofline introduces a darker band that anchors the composition.

    Brushstrokes are deliberate and tactile, particularly visible in the vertical planks and the layered paint on the doors. The handling of paint suggests careful observation: neither loose nor overly polished, allowing the texture of wood and the passage of time to subtly emerge. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of stillness and quiet endurance, capturing beauty in the functional and the worn.

    This oil on canvas board is mounted onto a complementary silver painted wood frame with an inner wood border.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Dance the Night Away

    Dance the Night Away

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively, cubist-inspired depiction of a dance scene, painted in oil onto board.
    Bursting with movement, music, and social energy, the artist has stylised the human figures into angular, geometric forms, using dynamic composition and vivid colour to capture the joy and motion of a moment frozen in time.

    The palette is warm and rich, dominated by reds, oranges, yellows, and earthy browns, contrasted with purples, greens, and soft greys. Movement is conveyed not just through the figures but through the background, which is fractured into diagonal planes, giving the scene energy and rhythm.

    The dance, the music, and the expressive poses suggest a night of uninhibited fun. This painting is a beautiful example of how modernist geometry and vibrant social scenes can merge into something timeless and full of spirit.

    This oil on board is housed in a wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some very light scuffing to the frame but it is  good condition overall.

    Size: 43 x 45.5 cm (including frame)

  • House Beyond the Green

    House Beyond the Green

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quiet and serene mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a small white house that sits partially hidden within dense, verdant foliage. Set back from the viewer and framed by trees, the dwelling feels both secluded and gently anchored to its surroundings. A band of water runs horizontally through the middle ground, separating the lush greens above from the warmer, earth-toned foreground, creating a subtle sense of depth and balance.

    The style is distinctly mid-century in its simplification of forms and emphasis on mood over detail. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, while the landscape is expressed through broad planes of colour rather than precise delineation. The composition feels calm and introspective, inviting the viewer to linger in the stillness of the scene.

    The palette is rich yet harmonious: layered greens dominate the canvas, ranging from deep forest tones to lighter, almost luminous grassy hues. These are contrasted by a soft blue sky and water, which cool the composition, and a striking foreground of burnt orange and rust tones that adds warmth and visual weight.

    Brushstrokes are loose and painterly, with visible texture throughout. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest foliage and ground, allowing colours to blend organically at their edges. This tactile surface quality enhances the sense of atmosphere and reinforces the painting’s expressive, mid-century character.

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

  • Pathway to the Sea

    Pathway to the Sea

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sunlit mid-century modernist landscape composition that exudes calm, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This charming coastal scene captures a quiet path leading toward the shimmering shoreline. Tall, slender trees frame the composition, their canopies rendered in cool greens and muted teals, gently swaying above the sandy walkway. A pale house sits nestled in the background, its warm ochre tones subtly contrasting with the cool blues of the distant sea and sky.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the work features broad, confident blocks of colour and simplified forms, allowing atmosphere and light to take centre stage. The artist has used thick, textured brushstrokes: especially in the foliage – creating lively movement and softness at once. The palette is refreshing and serene: sea-blues, grassy greens, soft lilacs, sandy neutrals, and warm earth tones blend harmoniously to evoke a breezy, coastal afternoon.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sliced Lemons

    Sliced Lemons

    £765

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A cubist inspired still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The focal point is a pair of sliced lemons, painted in thick, creamy strokes of yellow, white, and peach, giving them a fresh, tactile presence. Beside the fruit is a green pear-like form, adding another organic shape and hue. These items rest on a dark surface, perhaps a tabletop, which is painted in large, angular blocks of navy and black.

    A small brown table or cabinet with short legs sits in the upper right quadrant. It appears simplified and stylised, reinforcing the abstracted, geometric quality of the whole scene.

    This piece is heavily influenced by Cubism and early modernism. Forms are reduced to flat planes and hard-edged shapes and the brushwork is confident but restrained. There is a visible grid-like structure as if the artist constructed the composition like a puzzle.

    The painting feels studied, measured, and designed, like an artist exploring how to deconstruct the familiar (fruit and furniture) into new visual language. It invites the viewer to slow down, observe form over realism, and enjoy the way light and space are broken into segments. The fractured composition gives it a slightly modern, mosaic-like effect, almost architectural in nature.

    The painting is housed in a light grey wood with a weathered patina and a gently bevelled design. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life Elements

    Still Life Elements

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

     A bold and stylised mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1955.
    Blending cubist and modernist influences, the composition is defined by strong, simplified shapes and vivid colour blocking, creating a playful yet structured visual experience. The painting features an arrangement of classic still life elements including a pitcher, a teapot, bottles, a cup, and several round red fruits. Bright green leaves sprawl across the foreground, adding organic curves against the sharper forms behind them.

    These pops of vibrant red in the fruit and rich green in the leaves create striking contrast. A triangular beam of yellow light or background wall shape adds dynamic energy and depth to the scene.

    The shadows are bold and geometric, not naturalistic, adding a graphic design-like quality that emphasises form over realism.

    This painting embraces a modernist abstraction of still life, similar in spirit to the work of Fernand Léger or early Picasso. It feels both playful and calculated, as if each shape is carefully placed like pieces in a visual puzzle. It also has a slightly theatrical feel, as if lit from stage lights, enhancing its sense of constructed drama.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully distressed vintage wood frame.  The painting has some areas of craquelure as shown in the photos but it is very stable overall. The frame has some scuffing, commensurate with age.

    Size: 61.5 x 74 cm (including frame)

  • Arrangement by the Window

    Arrangement by the Window

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined mid-century interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This composition arranges everyday objects into a poised, almost architectural tableau. A bowl of brightly coloured fruit anchors the scene, set upon a warm brown tabletop alongside two citrus forms and a slender candlestick. Above, a dark mortar and pestle sits against a softly diffused window, where vertical strokes evoke sheer curtains and architectural buildings. Along the lower register, abstract floral or fruit-like motifs echo the colours above, creating a rhythmic visual balance.

    Rendered in a modernist, reductive style, the painting favours simplified shapes and carefully weighted blocks of colour over fine detail. Softly scumbled brushstrokes and visible edges give the work a textural, atmospheric quality, while the artist’s palette – dusty blues, muted greys, warm ochres, soft greens, and small bursts of orange and yellow lends calmness punctuated by subtle vibrancy. The overall effect is contemplative and elegant, transforming a quiet domestic moment into a study of harmony, form, and mood.

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

  • Blossoms & Fruit

    Blossoms & Fruit

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing and very pleasant mid-century modernist style still life that presents a luminous arrangement of flowers and fruit, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre, a white ceramic vase holds a lively bouquet of blossoms: soft blue, deep red, vivid yellow and indigo – set against a dramatic background of shadowed navy and pale grey. The floral forms are loosely defined yet full of character, capturing the spontaneity and freshness of a moment observed.

    Below, an assortment of apples, plums and a single green pear are scattered casually across the tabletop. Their rounded forms and warm tones create a pleasing counterbalance to the vertical elegance of the vase. A patterned drape in soft blue with warm rust-orange accents adds depth and a gentle theatricality to the composition.

    The palette is harmonious and inviting: cool blues and greys contrasted with bright fruit tones and fresh greens. Brushstrokes are expressive but controlled, with soft blending in the background and more decisive, painterly marks in the flowers and fruit. The overall effect is one of warmth, vibrancy and quiet domestic charm – an appealing example of mid-century still-life painting that brings both colour and calm to any interior.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of wear to the inner frame as shown in the photos.

  • The Exchange

    The Exchange

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating and expressive mid-century figurative painting depicting two stylised figures standing in quiet dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Their forms are abstracted yet expressive – one slender and upright, the other broader with a gently tilted head, creating an intimate sense of interaction without relying on facial detail. The figures feel sculptural, almost totemic, evoking mood through posture rather than realism.

    Rendered in a bold modernist style, the composition embraces simplified shapes and a strong graphic presence. The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by orange, rust, deep umber, charcoal, and muted mustard yellows. These tones are set against a pale, softly luminous background that enhances the painting’s sense of warmth and immediacy.

    The brushwork is confident and textural, with broad, gestural strokes that give the figures weight and movement. Layered passages of paint create subtle ridges and variations, while the looser background wash keeps the scene airy and light. There is a raw, expressive quality to the application – intentional yet spontaneous.

    A striking piece with strong presence, emotional ambiguity, and a wonderful interplay of colour and form.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary rich, dark wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight widening to the corners, some scuffs, as well as four small drill holes present  in each corner of the frame.

  • Canopy of Light

    Canopy of Light

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century landscape that captures a bright, leisurely day in a park, framed by two monumental trees that dominate the foreground, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Their tall, textured trunks open like a gateway into a lively scene beyond, where figures wander along a sunlit path. In the distance, soft structural lines hint at a bridge or harbour crossing, grounding the composition in a recognisable yet dreamlike setting.

    Rendered in a loose, impressionistic modernist style, the painting is filled with movement and atmosphere. The artist uses quick, gestural strokes to describe the swaying leaves, fluttering foliage, and gentle shifts of light. The palette is uplifting and harmonious: pale sky blues, soft lilacs, and warm greens build a serene backdrop, while touches of yellow, rose, and turquoise bring vibrancy to the scene.

    The brushwork is fluid and expressive, with dappled marks that suggest sunlight filtering through branches and energetic, sketch-like lines that animate the figures and terrain. Overall, it is a joyful, breezy composition that celebrates nature, community, and the quiet poetry of everyday life.

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

  • Figure and Flowers

    Figure and Flowers

    £505

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century modernist style painting that depicts a quiet, intimate interior moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

    A female figure is seated at a table, deeply focused on her hands as she works or writes. She wears a white headscarf and a pale blue dress, her posture soft and contemplative. To her right, a simple vase holds two vivid red-orange flowers, their petals dramatically fanned and adding a lively burst of colour to the otherwise serene setting. A closed book rests on the table, anchoring the composition with a sense of stillness and domestic quiet.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work embraces simplified geometric forms, muted planes of colour, and a strong sense of design. The artist has reduced detail to essentials, relying on shape and tonal relationships to describe space and figure. The overall aesthetic is minimal, balanced, and quietly poetic.

    The palette is soft and harmonious: cool greys, pale blues, cream, soft yellow and muted greens form the foundation of the room and figure. These gentle tones are beautifully contrasted by the bold, saturated reds and oranges of the flowers, giving the composition a striking focal point without overwhelming its calm mood.

    Brushwork is smooth, controlled, and deliberate, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Edges are clean and slightly softened, contributing to the painting’s gentle, contemplative atmosphere.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.
