Coastal Passage

Sold

SOLD

A large mid-century abstract landscape painting that captures a tranquil coastal scene framed by lush greenery and golden landscapes, executed in oil onto canvas.

A narrow inlet leads the eye toward the deep blue waters of the sea, while sandy, golden-hued landforms in the foreground create a sense of depth and movement. The sky is rendered in soft muted greys and blues, suggesting an overcast or serene atmosphere.

Executed in a modernist style, the painting features bold, simplified forms with an emphasis on geometric shapes and harmonious composition. The colour palette consists of earthy greens, warm yellows, and calming blues, all applied with expressive and fluid yet controlled brushstrokes. Some areas show broad, sweeping strokes, while others feature more deliberate, textured applications of paint, giving the work a dynamic yet balanced feel.

The artist’s approach conveys a sense of both structure and spontaneity, reminiscent of mid-century landscape abstraction.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wide profile wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame’s gilt border has some wear as shown.

Size: 76 x 93.5 cm (including frame)

Quiet Readers

Sold

SOLD

A serene and beautifully distilled mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ingvar Elén (1915–1973), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Museum in Sweden, and the Sörmlands Museum.

This composition features three seated figures, their forms reduced to soft geometric shapes and gentle interlocking silhouettes. Arranged in a subtle diagonal rhythm, the trio appears absorbed in quiet, individual focus: one reading, the others seated nearby – capturing a moment of shared stillness without explicit interaction.

The artist has relied on flattened planes of colour and carefully balanced tones to define each figure: warm peach, deep teal, olive green, charcoal grey, ochre, and soft clay-like browns. The palette is harmonious and understated, allowing the shapes and spatial arrangement to take centre stage. Their shadows and clothing become abstract colour blocks, lending the work a sculptural, almost collage-like quality.

Brushwork is smooth, matte, and subtly textured, with edges that are softened rather than sharply drawn. This creates a calm, meditative surface where each figure is distinct yet integrated into the overall rhythm of the composition.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there is some craquelure visible on the central figure’s arm, however, the paint layer remains stable, and this does not detract from the overall presentation of the work.

Size: 74.5 x 88 cm (including frame)

Riverside Boulevard (Very large)

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant and lively cityscape bursting with movement and colour, dated 1974 and painted in oil by the established 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.

The scene centres around a pair of ornate towers rising from a bustling square, their facades animated with bright decorative motifs. Surrounding them, saturated-toned buildings with warm red roofs line the horizon, while to the right a gentle river curves through the city, complete with moored boats and strolling figures. Cars, pedestrians and flowing pathways fill the foreground, giving the scene an energetic, almost theatrical rhythm.

Rendered in a highly expressive and fauvist style, the work embraces bold contour lines and playful distortion to convey atmosphere rather than strict realism. The palette is vibrant and uplifting: lemon yellow, turquoise, sky blue, coral, and soft reds creating a sun-drenched glow across the composition. Brushstrokes are loose, gestural and almost calligraphic, with dashes, swirls and rhythmic marks animating every surface. The result is a joyful, kinetic interpretation of urban life, full of colour and charm.

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

Table in Morning Light

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century interior scene that captures the elegance of simplicity and space, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

At its centre stands a slender pedestal table rendered with confidence: its form distilled to near abstraction, with a single dark object poised delicately upon it. The background suggests tall windows that filter pale light, dissolving into softly layered vertical strokes.

Executed in a restrained palette of misty greys, cool whites, and muted taupe, the painting exudes a hushed, meditative calm. The artist’s brushwork is deliberate and textural: short, square dabs of paint that build rhythm and depth while maintaining a sense of quiet restraint.

Minimal yet evocative, this work is a study in tone and balance: a poetic reflection on stillness, light, and the beauty found in pared-down form.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame which adds character to the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Distance Between Us

Sold

SOLD

A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a solitary figure standing before a vast expanse of open land, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

The composition is strikingly divided into two registers: the upper portion capturing a serene vista of green fields and a distant tree line beneath a pale, open sky, and the lower section marked by a bold geometric band in black with red and orange vertical stripes.

Rendered in restrained tones of green and earthy brown, the work balances natural quietude with structural rhythm. The figure, outlined with simplicity and minimal detail and lightly sketched features, appears introspective, heightening the emotional resonance of the scene.

Executed with flat planes of colour, the brushstrokes are gentle yet deliberate, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

This oil on canvas is presented in a silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays some signs of age with marks and scuffs.

Woman in a Pink Blouse

Sold

SOLD

A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a seated woman before a softly rendered natural backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

Her dark bob frames her lightly sketched expression, lending the composition an air of introspection and quiet distance. The figure’s mauve-pink blouse, trimmed with ruffled lace, contrasts subtly with the muted greens and browns of the forested landscape behind her.

The artist has used a delicate balance between precision and restraint: the background is softly diffused with translucent washes, while the figure’s form is more sharply delineated. The lower section of the painting introduces a striking geometric interruption: a striped band in cream, burgundy, and brown – that recalls textile or interior motifs, grounding the work in a unique aesthetic.

Brushstrokes are measured and matte, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

This oil on canvas is presented in a silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays some signs of age wear with marks and scuffs, as shown in the photos.

Pastoral Geometry

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modernist landscape that captures a cluster of farmhouses nestled within a stylised patchwork of verdant fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition evokes the stillness of the countryside, with a rhythmic interplay between architectural form and geometric land divisions. Rendered in a cool, muted palette of sage, grey and hints of dark brown, the scene exudes a meditative calm.

The artist’s brushwork is confident yet restrained – large flat planes and subtle tonal shifts create a softly abstracted effect, lending the landscape an almost dreamlike quality. The sky is rendered in pale washes, while the layered fields below suggest distance and depth through carefully constructed blocks of colour.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning frame with multiple profiles. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very some scuffing, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

St Ives Head I (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

Free UK delivery only.

A very large and atmospheric abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

This abstract oil painting of St Ives Head conveys a powerful impression of the Cornish landscape through bold colour blocks and expressive brushwork. The composition is dominated by a strong horizontal division:

The lower portion features lush, vibrant greens, suggestive of the headland’s grassy terrain. These greens are layered and varied, with hints of dark shadows and occasional streaks of red and orange adding depth and movement. A sweeping form of deep black and charcoal arcs through the upper and middle sections, perhaps alluding to the rocky outcrop of St Ives Head or the moody Atlantic shadows. This shape anchors the piece and creates dramatic contrast. Surrounding these darker masses, icy blues and muted whites evoke the sky and sea, with the brushwork ranging from smooth to vigorously textured. Pops of pink and red in fine linear marks add visual interest and energetic tension across the central area.

The painting is both abstract and landscape-inspired, distilling the raw essence of the coastal headland into expressive colour fields and gestural marks. It reflects the elemental forces of land, sea, and weather typical of St Ives, rendered in a deeply personal, modernist style.

This very large oil on board is housed in a complementary light grey frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Tide’s Return

Sold

SOLD.

A large expressive and atmospheric mid-century modernist coastal landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

This evocative oil painting captures a trio of boats beached on a windswept shore. Three figures stand nearby, anchoring the scene with a quiet human presence. The ocean churns with silvery greys, whites, and muted blues, reflecting the turbulent energy of an overcast day by the sea.

The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and a subdued, tonal palette dominated by stormy greys, whites, and earthy ochres. The water is rendered with rhythmic horizontal strokes, while the sky and sand are textured with layered impasto, imbuing the painting with a tactile, atmospheric quality. The composition speaks to the raw beauty of nature and the enduring relationship between humans and the sea.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined frame with an inner gilt border. There are some age spots present on the frame as well as along the upper edge of the painting. There is a mark on the left side of outer linen border of the frame.

Twilight Stream

Sold

SOLD

A atmospheric composition that captures the quiet drama of a winter landscape yielding to the subtle warmth of dusk setting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1987.

This expressive scene depicts a partially frozen stream meandering through snow-covered banks, framed by dark, leafless trees and a softly glowing sky. The distant treeline is rendered in deep purples, blues and black, while the sky behind it glows with streaks of peach, rose, and apricot – suggesting the final light of day.

The artist has used swift brushstrokes, especially in the forest and sky, that conveys movement and atmosphere. The snowbanks are painted with thick, angular swathes of white, grey, and pale pink, while the water is composed of smoother, horizontal strokes in blues and greys, lending a mirror-like stillness. The overall style merges impressionism with expressionist undertones, balancing realism with emotional depth.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary linen-lined wooden frame with a gilt inner edge. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks on its linen border as well as some small scuffs.

Size: 82 x 76 cm (including frame)

The Shaded Cottage

Sold

SOLD

Free UK delivery only.

A charming mid-century modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas 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.

The painting captures a tranquil rural scene rendered with bold simplification and abstracted form. The skilful interplay of light and shadow suggests a late afternoon sun. Thatched-roof cottages are nestled along a gently curving path, partially obscured by the angular branches of leafless trees. The geometric structure of the roofs contrasts beautifully with the organic rhythm of the trunks and overhanging limbs.

Executed in a restrained but earthy palette, the artist creates depth and harmony without unnecessary detail. The brushstrokes are broad and gestural, giving the composition a sense of immediacy and movement, while maintaining a strong architectural rhythm.

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

Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

Sold

SOLD

A very large and brilliantly executed mid-century cubist painting that presents a fragmented figure seated beside a simple pedestal table holding a cluster of rounded fruit forms, painted in oil onto board.

In this striking composition, the human form is reduced to angular planes and intersecting facets, the face and body articulated through a network of geometric shapes in pale cream, brown, and muted green tones, accented by deep blacks. The table and fruit echo this cubist language, with rounded grapes and apples broken into overlapping, flat colour areas.

The style is distinctly cubist, emphasising structural simplification and the interplay of light and shadow through geometric abstraction. The artist balances areas of dense black with softer sage greens, creating a rhythmic tension across the composition. Brushstrokes are firm, deliberate, and textured, with the layered paint adding subtle depth to the otherwise flat geometry.

The restrained palette – creams, greens, blacks, and teal-blues – contributes to the painting’s harmony, while the angular construction of the figure and still life demonstrates the artist’s focus on form and design rather than naturalistic representation.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary heavy solid wood frame with an oak-toned finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Nocturne City Lights

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century cityscape that captures the shimmering energy of an urban night scene, translated into a rich tapestry of colour and geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is structured with bold, interlocking blocks and angular shapes, suggesting the rhythm of buildings, windows, bridges, and reflections on water. A procession of glowing yellow-lit windows runs across the centre, evoking a row of houses or perhaps a train, cutting a luminous path through the darkness. Above, sharp angular rooftops and scaffolding-like forms rise into a deep indigo and violet sky, punctuated by hints of streetlamps and architectural details.

The artist’s palette is rich and vibrant, dominated by jewel tones of cobalt blue, violet, crimson, and emerald green, balanced with the warmth of orange, red, and brown. The glowing yellow windows add a brilliant contrast, animating the scene with a sense of movement and vitality.

The brushwork is expressive and textured, with bold, layered strokes that give depth and tactile richness to the surface. Each shape feels carefully constructed, yet retains the energy of the hand that painted it, merging structure with spontaneity.

This work is a celebration of the modern city at night – a mosaic of light, shadow, and human presence – rendered through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame that has a unique beaded detailing. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Shape of Thought (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Delivery Only.

A large and outstanding mid century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted onto board by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The painting presents a bold and dynamic interpretation of the human form, fragmented into intersecting shapes and saturated blocks of colour. At the centre, a green torso-like shape anchors the composition, surrounded by gestural planes of midnight blue, ivory white, forest green, sky grey, and cerulean. Hints of yellow and red punctuate the palette with energy, while the heavy use of impasto and palette knife work brings a sense of raw physicality to the surface.

Though abstract, the overlapping forms and contours evoke the impression of a seated or contemplative figure, abstracted almost to the point of pure form. The figure emerges from and dissolves into the background, suggesting emotional introspection or transformation. The painter’s brushwork is assertive yet nuanced, blending thickly applied oil with moments of scraped texture and layered opacity.

In both its materiality and expressive ambiguity, the painting speaks to the search for identity through abstraction, emotion, and gesture.

Close to a metre in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited hessian lined frame with an inner silver border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Sea Flowers

Sold

SOLD

A playful and organic one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

This artwork is created from two layers of ink on purple card. There is a slight texture to the dark blue, as some of the purple background can be seen underneath. The yellow flowers are slightly translucent but with thicker, textured ink. The flowers are made from a paper stencil which was of a drawing from the Essex coastline.

Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

Size: 61.5 x 86 cm (including frame)

A Close Bond

Sold

SOLD

A very large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The composition captures the tender and affections connection between two people. Seated closely side by side, the two abstracted figures are depicted in a bold, minimalist, and colourful style. The focus is on shape, colour, and form rather than intricate details.

The palette consists of soft pastels, including shades of creams and yellows, with vibrant accents of blue, green, and red dispersed across the canvas. Upon close inspection of the painting, one can notice how the artist has skilfully layered contrasting swathes of colours to reveal a light texture and interest to this heart-warming painting.

Overall, the artist’s use of abstracted, geometric shapes, fragmented lines, and bold brushstrokes creates a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

This oil on canvas is accentuated by a dark wood frame with an outer and inner gold border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Size: 99 x 79 cm (including frame)

Black Boat

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century modernist style coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition presents a black boat resting on a sandy shore, its deep shadow cast onto the beach. The background features a textured seascape, with rolling waves in various shades of blue and green crashing against the shore, while a pale blue sky stretches across the horizon. The foreground includes tufts of dune grass rendered in soft greens.

The colour palette is dominated by deep blues, greens, and sandy earth tones, with the stark black of the boat providing a dramatic focal point.

The artist has used a bold and expressive style – confidently executing visible brushstrokes that add texture and dynamism, particularly in the depiction of the waves, which are layered with impasto strokes of white and dark blue to capture their motion and energy.

This oil on board is set in a complementary silver frame. There are some very minor surface marks to painting but these do not detract from its overall appearance. The frame has some scuffs and paint loss.

Intersections of Grey

Sold

SOLD

A very large mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

The artist has combined a variety of both loose and more controlled marks, creating interesting angles and shapes that meet and intersect as well as drawing attention to positive and negative space. The painting has a matte texture, giving it a raw and charcoal like quality. The artist has painted in a white border, which draws our eye inwards towards the main composition.

This oil on cradled panel is presented in a gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small mark to the left corner as shown, but is in good condition overall.

Patchwork Terrain

Sold

SOLD.

A vibrant and energetic mid-century modernist painting that offers a bold abstracted interpretation of a landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

Interlocking planes of rich colour – red, blue, orange, green and white – form an architectural patchwork suggestive of houses, hills, and cultivated plots. The upper section is dominated by a warm amber sky, radiating light across the structured terrain below.

The artist’s stylised approach uses flattened perspective and cubist influences, with simplified organic shapes nestled among angular forms. Textural elements such as dotted foliage, hatch-like brushwork for crops, and directional strokes for terrain add rhythm and variety. The brushstrokes are deliberate and graphic, reinforcing the composition’s structured yet playful visual language.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Room with Red Cushion

Sold

SOLD.

Free UK Delivery Only.

A large and expressive mid-century still life interior that captures a quiet, intimate domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1946.

A white-clothed table anchors the composition, atop which sits a rustic bucket, a dark green wine bottle, and a wooden fruit bowl brimming with apples and citrus. The scene unfolds in a modest room with a suggestion of a back door opening to stairs, painted in dark tones. A single chair with a red seat cushion partially frames the left side of the composition.

Executed in broad, expressive brushstrokes, the painting embraces the earthy palette – burnt orange, olive green, mustard yellow, muted blue, and chalky whites. The artist has used a loose, painterly style, with visible textures and confident, gestural strokes that lend the work a tactile immediacy. The result is a composition that is both grounded and atmospheric, imbued with a sense of nostalgia and quietude.

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

Winding Path to the Sea

Sold

SOLD.

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and serene mid-century modernist painting that captures a vast landscape rendered with bold, expressive brushwork and simplified forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1946.

At the centre of the composition, a red-roofed house sits nestled among rolling green hills, with winding white paths leading toward the horizon, where a band of deep blue suggests the presence of the sea.

The artist has abstracted natural elements into rhythmic, geometric shapes – trees, hills, and fences are distilled into confident planes of colour. A soft yet vivid palette of greens, yellows and blues bring a lyrical quality to the scene. Expressive painterly brushstrokes lend a sense of movement and spontaneity, evoking the energy of the landscape rather than a literal depiction.

With its dynamic composition and modernist interpretation of the countryside, this painting evokes both nostalgia and vitality – a quiet moment brimming with form and colour.

Encode (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A very large 21st-century abstract painting that captures a rhythmic visual language of geometric forms and gestural marks, executed in oil on canvas.

At almost 1.2metres wide, this composition is set against a soft, muted sage green background, interwoven with an intricate network of white linear glyphs—some suggesting architectural schematics, others evoking primitive symbols or abstract cartography.

The artist has used a flat, matte surface treatment for the background, allowing the crisp white markings to emerge with clarity. The brushstrokes are confident and uniform, creating a sense of order amidst the apparent spontaneity. The overall style leans toward minimalistic abstraction, influenced by both modernist mark-making and contemporary urban semiotics.

This piece invites the viewer to decipher its quiet codes, encouraging contemplation of structure, language, and spatial memory.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary and well made light wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Matrix (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

A very large and striking 21st-century abstract geometric painting, executed in oil on canvas.

This mesmerising painting is composed entirely of triangular shapes arranged in a tight, grid-like pattern. The triangles are painted in a restricted but bold palette of black, dark brown, white, and a soft cream, which creates a strong visual rhythm and contrast across the canvas. There is a visual order but the subtle shifts in orientation and colour prevent it from becoming monotonous.

The stark contrast between deep browns, black, and crisp white creates strong visual impact, but the occasional soft cream triangle adds warmth and breaks the binary, giving the eye a place to rest.

From afar the painting looks clean, precise and monotone. But as you move toward it and study its intricacies, you begin to realise the range of colours and the visible brushstrokes, which further enhances the fact that this is indeed a hand painted piece with more subtle details that are not immediately obvious at first glance.

The restrained colour scheme enhances sophistication. It feels modern and timeless, making it versatile in a range of settings from minimalist homes to design-forward spaces.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.

Flowers & Checkers

Sold

SOLD

A well executed and vividly coloured mid century modernist still composition, painted in oil onto board.

It elevates the beauty and particularity of everyday objects including lemons and flowers, and imbues them with significance and character.

Gathering in Motion

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century abstract figurative painting that captures a dynamic group scene with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich, layered composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted, and the figures, though loosely defined, appear to be engaged in a communal activity. Their forms are suggested rather than explicitly outlined, lending a sense of movement and depth to the composition.

Executed in a rich palette of blues, purple, light yellow, brown and black, the painting consists of a harmonious contrast of darker and lighter tones.

The artist has used a gestural and impasto technique, using heavy, angular strokes to render forms and suggest depth. The fragmented yet rhythmic brushwork adds spontaneity and raw energy to the piece, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene through its interplay of form and colour.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited wood frame with with an inner linen border. The painting has some areas of craquelure and paint loss present, as shown in the close ups. The frame has some scuffing.

Shoreline with Red Roof

Sold

SOLD

A large mid-century modernist landscape depicting a minimalist coastal scene rendered with bold, abstracted forms and expressive brushwork, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

The scene is constructed from interlocking bands of earthy brown, olive green, slate blue, and creamy beige, suggesting sand, water, and distant terrain in an almost abstract arrangement. Thick, visible brushstrokes sweep across the surface, adding energy and rhythm to the otherwise still composition.

The artist’s modernist sensibility is evident in the stylised forms and reductive palette, which strip the landscape to its essential elements while retaining a strong sense of place. The work conveys a mood of solitude and atmospheric tension, encapsulating the quiet drama of nature through structure and tone.

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

Solitude by the Sea

Sold

SOLD

A large and tranquil modernist figurative landscape that captures a quiet moment of introspection by the water’s edge, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

In this evocative composition, a lone figure sits on a white chair beside a simple table, gazing toward the vast expanse of a blue sea. A delicate tree to the left stretches its light foliage across the scene, while gentle brushstrokes hint at distant waves and a faint sailboat on the horizon.

Painted in a soft, sun-drenched palette of blues, sandy orange, and muted purples, the work exudes a breezy Mediterranean atmosphere. The artist has used loose, expressive brushwork that balances impressionistic spontaneity with emotional subtlety. The handling of paint – particularly in the foreground grasses and foliage – is gestural and free, lending the piece an immediacy that feels both nostalgic and serene.

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

Still Standing

Sold

SOLD

A large and striking figurative composition in acrylic, executed onto stretched canvas and dated 2014 on the reverse.

This painting is a bold, minimalist representation of a standing figure, shown from the waist down. The figure wears a red skirt, blue coat or outer garment, and blue shoes with lighter blue uppers, and holds a brown walking stick, which adds a sense of balance the composition.

The style is flat and graphic, with solid blocks of colour and no shading or detail, creating a sense of modernist abstraction. The background consists of a light yellow wall, a mint green doorframe, and a warm ochre wooden floor with black lines indicating floorboards. The figure’s pale legs contrast against the colourful clothes and shoes, and the use of simplified forms gives the painting a striking, almost poster-like appearance.

The painting evokes themes of presence and stability, presented through a visually clean and stylized composition.

The painting is unframed but can be hung as is (the edges of the canvas have also been painted). The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

Cubist Instruments

Sold

SOLD

Free shipping UK delivery only.

A fun and playful large 20th century cubist composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1975 by Belgian artist Pierre Goossens.

This painting is a vibrant and structured cubist-style still life, featuring a table densely packed with musical instruments and domestic objects, rendered in flattened geometric forms and bold, contrasting colours.

At the centre is a large guitar, overlapping with a mandolin or lute, both abstracted into simplified, stylized shapes. A pair of green glasses or vessels, a red beret, and a bottle or vase are also identifiable among the layered elements. The tablecloth is covered with various patterned fabrics, adding texture and complexity. Behind the scene, an open window reveals a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds, bringing depth and a suggestion of an exterior world.

The overall palette combines warm earthy tones (browns, reds, and ochres) with cool blues and blacks, creating dynamic visual contrast. The artist uses strong outlines and flat planes to define the forms, typical of the cubist and synthetic cubist approaches influenced by Picasso and Braque.

This painting is lively and rhythmic, celebrating form and colour through a stylised representation of everyday objects in a domestic or café-like setting.

This large oil on canvas is presented in a stepped black wood frame with an inner pale blue slip, which suits it well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some surface wear and scuffing but is in a good and stable condition.
