• Coastal Bend

    Coastal Bend

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and tranquil mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where land, sea, and sky merge in soft abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A pale sandy shoreline curves gently into the canvas, embraced by rolling hills rendered in muted olive and sage tones. Beyond, a calm expanse of blue-grey water stretches across the composition, fading into a sky of pale blue and light peach with delicate cloud sweeps.

    The artist has worked in a semi-abstract modernist style, reducing natural forms to broad planes of colour and fluid, interwoven shapes. The palette is harmonious yet subtly contrasting – earthy browns and greens meet with cooler greys and sky blues. Brushstrokes are gestural and loose, layering both horizontal sweeps and curved motions that suggest movement in land and water.

    Overall, the work balances tranquillity with rhythmic energy, presenting an interpretation of nature through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

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

  • Fields in Late Summer

    Fields in Late Summer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene and wonderfully textured modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1972.

    The painting captures the quiet rhythm of open landscape beneath a soft, pale sky. The composition unfolds in broad, horizontal sweeps of cultivated land – patches of green and yellow fields stretch toward the horizon, gently intersected by blue-tinged furrows and tree lines.

    Painted with a confident impasto technique, the artist has applied thick, expressive strokes that build texture and movement across the canvas. Each ridge of paint conveys the tactile feel of the earth and the shifting play of light on uneven terrain. The palette is harmonious and naturalistic: grassy greens, golden yellows, and cool hints of blue balance against a delicate, misty sky.

    The work’s modernist sensibility lies in its simplification of form and emphasis on gesture over detail. Rather than depicting a literal place, it evokes the essence of cultivated fields under summer light: quiet, spacious, and timeless.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight scuffing commensurate with age.

  • Grounded Figure

    Grounded Figure

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking example of mid century abstract expressionism, composed with a powerful arrangement of dark, geometric blocks layered over a pale, neutral background. It evokes a sense of architectural form and emotional depth, blending both structure and mood.

    The painting is built from overlapping angular shapes, creating a central form that resembles a figure. There is a dominant vertical element that draws the eye upward, almost like a shadowy  figure in motion.

    Deep blacks, earthy browns, and muted purples form the core structure. Subtle highlights of white, grey, and a touch of greenish-yellow offer contrast without overpowering the dark tones. The background is a soft, slightly textured white-beige, creating negative space that lets the central form breathe.

    The brushwork varies, with some areas roughly textured and dry-brushed, and others smooth and solid. This contrast in technique gives the piece visual rhythm and a sense of movement, even though the composition is largely still.

    The mood of the painting is introspective, solemn, and grounded. It feels like a study in form and presence, hinting at emotional or symbolic weight beneath the abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in an elegantly understated frame with a weathered silver finish and a linen lined border, reflecting its mid century feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing but this is commensurate with age.

  • Neighbourhood at Dusk

    Neighbourhood at Dusk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene mid-century landscape painting that presents a quiet neighbourhood scene, where houses and rooftops cluster beneath a line of slender trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition conveys both shelter and openness, with architectural forms emerging softly through the vertical rhythm of trunks and branches.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting simplifies the built environment into blocks of muted tones while a red structure provides a vibrant focal point among the cooler palette. Above, a pale blue sky stretches across the canvas, evoking a crisp, clear atmosphere.

    The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, layered to suggest the shifting interplay of light and shadow. Instead of precise detailing, the artist captures the essence of place: the harmony of trees, rooftops, and streets blending together in a cohesive whole.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profiled gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Quiet Cottage

    Quiet Cottage

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and restful mid-century landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting depicts a low, whitewashed cottage with a dark, sloping roof nestled beside a solitary, leafless tree. The setting is open and windswept, with soft fields stretching into the horizon beneath a broad turquoise sky. The composition feels peaceful and understated, evoking the simplicity of countryside life.

    Rendered in a distinctly mid-century modernist manner, the work blends representational forms with stylised simplicity. Shapes are reduced to their essentials, and the artist favours bold outlines, flattened perspectives, and a calm, contemplative mood.

    A harmonious palette of cool turquoise and sky blue dominates the scene, contrasted with muted greens and earthy browns. The cottage’s crisp white walls create a striking focal point within the otherwise subdued and natural colour story.

    Broad, gestural strokes shape the land and sky, giving the painting an expressive, textured feel. The roof and tree are defined with looser, more directional strokes that add movement. Subtle layering and visible brushwork reinforce the work’s handmade, painterly charm.

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

  • Sunset Mosaic Coastline

    Sunset Mosaic Coastline

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and playful mid-century coastal landscape capturing the sun as it dips toward the horizon, 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.

    This expressive work presents a joyful, almost rhythmic interpretation of a seaside scene. Two stylised birch-like trees frame the composition, their graphic black outlines and emerald foliage creating a lively archway that guides the viewer’s gaze toward the glowing red sun and shimmering water beyond. The shoreline curves gently into view, rendered in warm sandy yellows and soft greens that lend the scene a welcoming, idyllic quality.

    Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, this striking painting is characterised by its rich colours and playful repetition of marks and a mosaic-like scattering of forms across the sky and sea. The artist has used bold, looping linework and patchwork colour fields to create a sense of movement – waves ripple in textured dashes of white, coral, and blue, while the sky hums with pink and powder-blue strokes interspersed with touches of gold.

    The palette is delightfully energetic: fresh greens, sky blues, pastel pinks, bright whites, and vivid reds work in harmony to create a composition that feels both spontaneous and carefully orchestrated. Brushstrokes are short, layered, and expressive, giving the surface a highly tactile quality and echoing the lively energy of the natural world reimagined through a mid-century modern lens.

    A charming and dynamic coastal view that radiates warmth, optimism, and artistic personality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with deep ridges and a slim black inner border which provides a wonderful contrast. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Seamstress

    The Seamstress

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tender and expressive mid-century figurative scene,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a woman seated on a wooden chair, bent gently over her sewing, with a classic black sewing machine resting on a sturdy wooden table before her. Her posture conveys concentration and routine – an everyday ritual rendered with warmth and familiarity.

    The style is expressive and loose. Forms are suggested rather than defined, allowing the viewer’s eye to fill in the narrative. Soft, hazy outlines and impressionistic strokes give the composition a spontaneous, lived-in quality.

    The colour palette is warm and muted: blush pinks in the woman’s blouse, soft greys and taupes in her skirt, browns and light neutrals in the surrounding interior. Hints of red in her shoes and subtle greens and yellows in the background bring gentle vibrancy to the scene.

    Brushstrokes are confident and gestural – broad sweeps for the furniture, short textured strokes for fabric and hair, and looser scumbles to build the diffused light of the room. Together, they create a beautifully atmospheric study of everyday work, captured with grace and sensitivity.

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

  • Under the Evening Moon

    Under the Evening Moon

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene mid-century street scene landscape composition, painted in oil onto board in 1943 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.

    A lone figure, dressed in pale tones, walks along a soft earthen path leading past whitewashed houses and verdant trees. The warm, golden orb of the moon sun hovers low in the sky, diffusing a gentle glow across the tranquil landscape.

    Executed in a restrained yet expressive modernist style, the painting features simplified geometric forms and broad, confident brushstrokes that evoke mood over detail. The palette is harmonious and understated: soft mauves, sage greens, muted browns, and twilight blues – conjuring the serenity of evening light settling over the countryside.

    The artist’s brushwork is smooth yet deliberate, with layered strokes that suggest texture and depth while maintaining a sense of calm minimalism. There’s a quiet intimacy to the composition: a tender moment of stillness suspended between day and night.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with a broad inner linen border. A few marks can be seen above the tree area of the painting, otherwise it is in very good vintage condition. Some age spots are visible on the linen border of the frame, along with light scuffs. These minor imperfections are consistent with age and definitely do not detract from the overall presentation.

    Two central figures, depicted with minimal but effective detail, appear to be interacting with a colourful natural environment. The surrounding shapes and colours evoke the impression of a lush, blooming garden with abstracted flowers.

    Abstract in nature, the painting emphasising bold, gestural brushstrokes and a focus on emotional resonance over realistic depiction.

    The palette is striking and diverse, with dominant hues of red, yellow, green, purple, and blue. These rich colours add a lively quality and a sense of harmony to the composition.

  • Birch Grove

    Birch Grove

    Sold

    SOLD

    A gentle and serene mid-century landscape that depicts a quiet stand of slender trees rising gracefully from a soft, sunlit meadow, executed in oil onto board and dated 1948.

    Their pale trunks stretch upward with an airy elegance, forming delicate vertical rhythms against a hazy sky. Behind them, gentle mounds of foliage in muted greens create a sense of depth and calm, while the distant horizon rests in a band of cool blue.

    Rendered in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplification and harmony over strict naturalism. The artist reduces the scene into calming shapes and soft colour blocks, capturing the essence of place through atmosphere rather than detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained: powdery sky blues, cool greys, sage greens, and warm straw-toned yellows. Together, they evoke the soft light of a quiet morning. The brushstrokes are tactile and expressive yet controlled, with gently layered textures that bring a subtle movement to the surface. Short, broken strokes define the grasses, while smoother, blended passages build the trees and sky, lending the piece a breezy, contemplative quality.

    This oil on board is housed in an elegant linen-lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Dachshund

    Dachshund

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very endearing and engaging canine composition of a Dachshund, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The dog is shown in profile, standing proudly with its signature long body, short legs, and alert expression. Its smooth black coat is accented with warm reddish-brown markings on the muzzle, chest, and paws, giving it both character and charm.

    The background sets the scene indoors: a mustard-yellow paneled wall, a simple white-trimmed window revealing green hills and blue sky outside, and a purple floor that provides a playful contrast to the dog’s dark coat. The composition is clean and geometric, with flat planes of color that emphasize shape and form rather than detail.

    This oil on board is housed in a black frame with inner gilt detail. 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.

  • Emerging Blooms

    Emerging Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and contemplative mid-century still life that presents a cluster of budding flowers rising against a softly textured ground,  executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

    The artist has captured the moment just before full bloom – tall stems stretching upward, their petals tightly furled, with hints of soft pinks and yellow-greens suggesting the promise of colour beneath the muted surface. The composition feels both organic and abstracted, with the flowers arranged in a rhythmic, almost sculptural formation.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and suggestion rather than strict realism. The forms are distilled into elongated strokes and blocky shapes, creating an atmospheric impression rather than a literal depiction. The palette is beautifully restrained: cool greys, slate blues, muted greens, and gentle off-whites dominate, punctuated by occasional touches of pink and lemon yellow at the tips of the buds.

    The brushwork is thick, tactile, and deliberate, with impasto passages that give the surface a rich physical presence. Vertical strokes define the stems and buds, while broader, more textured swaths shape the surrounding foliage and background. The overall effect is both calming and quietly dramatic.

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

  • Figure in Profile

    Figure in Profile

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking 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.

    The composition presents a simplified female figure shown in profile, rendered with a serene and contemplative presence. The artist has reduced the form to sculptural planes and soft geometric shapes, creating a harmonious balance between abstraction and the human silhouette.

    Set against a warm terracotta-red background, the figure is built from earthy, muted tones: olive green, beige, soft cream, and gentle peach and browns – each colour block carefully placed to suggest light, shadow, and the natural curvature of the body. The palette feels both understated and bold.

    The brushstrokes are deliberate yet textured, with visible strokes that give the flat planes a subtle tactile depth. Edges are softly defined rather than rigid, lending the piece a graceful, contemplative rhythm. The overall effect is calm, refined, and deeply atmospheric – an elegant study of form and restraint.

    A beautiful example of mid-century modernist figurative art, perfect for collectors who appreciate minimalism, colour harmony, and sculptural silhouettes.

    This oil on board is presented in a very well-suited gilt frame with an inner moulding with visible wood grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Geometric Pathway

    Geometric Pathway

    Sold

    SOLD

    A bold and striking mid-century abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The painting presents an interpretation of trees and a pathway, set against a backdrop of sky and fields. Containing elements of cubism as well as geometric abstraction, this landscape scene has been skilfully deconstructed and reduced into angular and geometric shapes, as well as bold lines.

    The colour palette is restrained – with earthy shades of greens contrasting with cool tones of blues.

    The brushstrokes are deliberate and flat, emphasising form and shape, and allowing the viewer’s eye to focus on the interplay of colour and geometry.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited light blue painted wood frame. The painting has very small areas of paint loss on its left side as shown in the photos, but this is only noticeable upon close inspection. The frame has some general scuffing  as shown in the close ups.

  • Market Day Under the Sun

    Market Day Under the Sun

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century modernist oil painting that captures the quiet charm of a sunlit village square on market day, executed in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a vendor stands beside a rustic wooden cart laden with fresh produce, partially shaded by a large parasol. Additional market stalls, some  green canopies, dot the square, their displays adding splashes of red, orange, and green to the scene. Figures move leisurely among the stalls, their forms simplified yet expressive, lending an almost timeless quality to the market’s atmosphere.

    The artist has used a modernist sensibility, with strong compositional contrasts between light and shadow. Sunlight spills across the cobblestones, casting deep angular shadows, while the muted facades of surrounding buildings form a subdued backdrop, allowing the market activity to take centre stage. The palette is warm and harmonious –  sandy orange, terracotta, soft greys, and earthy greens – with vibrant bursts of colour in the produce.

    Brushstrokes are confident and broad, with areas of flat, blended colour offset by more textured, visible strokes in the umbrellas and produce. The treatment is painterly –  focusing on shape, light, and atmosphere rather than fine detail.

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

    Modernist Mosaic

    An excellent and striking mid-century modernist style geometric abstract composition thats celebrates form and colour, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting features an array of interlocking geometric shapes – rectangles, triangles, and circular forms – arranged in a dynamic interplay. Characterised by its abstraction, bold use of colour, and clean geometric lines, the composition is a vibrant exploration of form, colour, and balance.

    The palette is rich and varied, featuring purples, greens, blues, warm yellows, and softer shades, all punctuated by the bold orange and red of the circles.

    The brushstrokes are smooth and deliberate, adding depth and character to the flat planes of colour. The layering of paint suggests a thoughtful and methodical approach, with each shape carefully defined against its neighbours.

    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 has no paint loss. There appears to be some paint transfer which probably took place when the artist was working on the piece. The frame has some minor marks but is in very good condition too.

    Purple Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD

    A refined mid-century interior still life painting that captures a bouquet of vivid purple flowers arranged in a clear glass vase, resting on a neatly folded napkin atop a coral-toned table, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The blooms radiate warmth and structure with their concentric circles and velvety textures. To the left, a cluster of green figs provides visual weight and organic contrast to the floral arrangement.

    The composition is anchored by balanced geometry – a vertical vase, crisp edges of the napkin, and the gentle horizontal plane of the table – all of which play harmoniously against the soft verticals of the window and muted wall. The style is characteristic of mid-century modernist still life, embracing quiet elegance and considered simplicity.

    The palette is restrained yet warm: dusty greens, deep purples, soft browns, and earthy coral tones. Brushwork is controlled yet expressive – blended in the background but more textured and sculptural in the rendering of the petals and fruit, offering depth and intimacy to this serene domestic scene.

    Stillness in Blue Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and uniquely textured mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet elegance within an abstracted domestic setting, executed in oil and ink onto board.

    At the heart of the composition is a white table rendered with gestural precision, holding a dark bowl of yellow fruit and a tall blue vase with two red flowers. The background unfolds in a layered wash of shadowy arches, pale teal walls, and textured architectural forms—suggesting a moody, introspective room awash with diffused natural light.

    The artist has used a distinctive impasto technique, building up the surface with thick, expressive brushstrokes that carve out depth and texture, particularly in the arched doorway and floor reflections. A palette of deep ultramarines, smoky greys, siennas, and muted aquas sets an evocative, almost theatrical atmosphere. Linear incisions and palette knife work add to the painting’s sculptural quality, giving a sense of movement and tactile richness.

    A quietly compelling composition that balances structure with emotion, light with shadow.

The interplay of geometric forms, earthy tones, and textured brushwork creates a tranquil, structured composition that evokes a sense of timelessness and quiet beauty.

    The scene is dominated by white and beige buildings with terracotta roofs, arranged in a way that creates depth and perspective. The foreground features a stone wall and a small courtyard, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central structures. In the background, rolling green and blue mountains provide contrast and a sense of scale.

    The paint is applied with visible, textured brushstrokes, giving the scene a slightly rough, organic quality. The simplified shapes and slightly flattened perspective enhance the painting’s modernist approach.

    The balance between abstraction and realism makes the scene feel both structured and timeless. The emphasis on light and shadow, though subtle, adds depth.

  • Vibrant Interior

    Vibrant Interior

    Sold

    A lively mid-century interior scene painting  that captures a vividly colourful and expressive depiction of a domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition centers around a room with vibrant furnishings, including a wooden chair, a bookshelf filled with books, a yellow lampshade, and an adjacent room seen through an open doorway. The secondary room, bathed in bright light, hints at a more spacious and airy ambiance, in contrast to the cozy foreground.

    The artist has used bold, angular brushstrokes and a palette dominated by deep blues, rich oranges, vibrant greens, and touches of yellow. The colours are juxtaposed with an intensity that emphasises both structure and warmth. The expressive, gestural brushstrokes add light texture and movement, giving the painting a lively, almost rhythmic feel. The painter’s loose yet deliberate approach to form and colour results in an energetic, spontaneous atmosphere.

    Both works feature sweeping compositions that draw the viewer into open countryside scenes  – one depicting a farmhouse on a distant ridge under a wide, tranquil sky, and the other showing a meandering country road curving gently toward thatched cottages.

    The artist’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by bold, simplified forms and strong, rhythmic geometry within the land contours. The palette is a refined harmony of sage greens, browns, and teal-blue skies – colours that evoke both calm and structure. Thick, expressive brushstrokes convey texture and light with confident economy, allowing the paint itself to suggest the terrain’s movement and atmosphere.

    Together, the pair exudes balance and quiet strength – timeless mid-century pieces that celebrate the stillness and spaciousness of the rural landscape while offering a refined decorative harmony.

    These oil on canvases are presented in beautifully complementary mid-century style frames that enhance their serene, modernist quality. One in a soft silvered wood finish, and the other in a champagne-gold undertone finish. Both the paintings and frames are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Forest Geometry

    Forest Geometry

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist landscape that reimagines a wooded scene through the lens of abstraction and cubism, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a stand of slender trees rising before a distant hillside, their forms fractured into geometric planes and rhythmic verticals. At the composition’s heart, a dark evergreen anchors the scene – its deep green tones contrasting against the softer mosaic of browns, blues, and muted mauves that fill the surrounding terrain.

    Through overlapping geometric forms and layered brushstrokes, the artist has constructed the landscape as an interplay of colour and shape rather than a literal depiction of nature. Earthy greens, browns, and yellows are interwoven with muted mauves, cool blues, and touches of rose and teal, creating a sense of quiet motion and depth.

    The brushwork is assertive, with visible texture lending a tactile quality to the surface. Planes of colour shift and intersect, capturing the essence of light filtering through trees while also flattening and reordering space — a hallmark of Cubist experimentation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scuffs and some areas of paint loss.

  • Golden Tree

    Golden Tree

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and very pleasant modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

    A single tree, glowing in golden orange, stands proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of whitewashed houses with deep blue roofs and soft foliage. The simplified geometry of the composition lends the scene a calm structure, while the thick impasto and visible brushstrokes add energy and texture to the surface.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy greens, warm yellows, and muted greys that evokes a sense of stillness, balancing abstraction with familiarity. The forms are distilled to their essence – the foliage reduced to layered shapes, the tree rendered as a luminous form pulsing with autumnal warmth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs. Please note there is some glare in the photographs.

    Size: 54 x 62 cm (including frame)

  • Harbour & Hillside

    Harbour & Hillside

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century coastal landscape that captures the rhythmic order of a harbour scene rendered through a distinctly modernist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    Clusters of geometric buildings and cranes line the waterfront, their angular forms carefully arranged to evoke both structure and serenity. The distant hills rise gently across the water, balancing the composition with soft undulating lines against the rigid shapes of the port.

    The artist has used a palette of muted yet harmonious tones – brick red, sage green, browns, blush, and blue – creating a subdued but richly layered harmony of colour. Each hue appears thoughtfully modulated, suggesting light glancing off the industrial surfaces and calm waters below.

    The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with flat, interlocking planes that give the painting an almost architectural rhythm. Despite the simplified forms, there is a deep sense of atmosphere and quietude, as though the bustling port has been momentarily stilled in contemplation.

    This oil on canvas is beautifully presented in a linen-lined wooden frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some marks as well as some age spots to the linen section, consistent with age.

  • Letters from the Past

    Letters from the Past

    Sold

    SOLD

    A  poignant mid-century landscape capturing a solitary figure walking beneath a windswept tree, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene is stripped to its essentials: a single bare-limbed tree with sparse autumn leaves and a small red letterbox attached to its trunk, standing against a pale blue sky. Below, an elderly man dressed in a dark green overcoat and cap leans gently on his cane as he walks along a quiet path, evoking a tender sense of solitude and reflection.

    Rendered in a restrained, minimalist style, the artist has employed loose, confident brushstrokes and a limited, harmonious palette of muted blues and earthy browns. The tree’s branches, painted with gestural strokes, convey the movement of a cold breeze, while the man’s stillness contrasts with the rest of the composition’s subtle motion.

    There’s a poetic simplicity to the piece – both melancholic and peaceful.

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

  • Modernist Forest

    Modernist Forest

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very pleasant modernist landscape oil composition dated 1977, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    The composition presents a forest landscape setting, with simplified trees, rolling hills, and a pathway that weaves through the background. The focal point is a striking orange tree that contrasts against the muted greens, browns, and earth tones of the surrounding foliage.

    Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully simplified the composition into bold, flat colour planes and geometric shapes, and there is a focus on form, shape, and colour rather than precise detail.

    The brushwork is loose yet controlled, suggesting a painterly technique with visible strokes adding light texture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing. 

    Size: 49 x 60 cm (including frame)

  • Objects in Conversation

    Objects in Conversation

    Sold

    SOLD

    A calm and contemplative mid-century still life painting that presents a pared-back arrangement of everyday objects rendered with a quiet elegance, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    At the centre sits a pale green bowl, its rounded form contrasted by the angular geometry of a brown-toned box to the right, in which rests a slender stick of darker pigment. Behind them looms a tall, shadowy bottle form, its deep black silhouette anchoring the composition against a softly tonal grey background.

    The artist has worked with a restrained yet evocative palette: muted greens, brown, black, cream, and steel blues. The colours are applied in broad, confident blocks, with thick, textural brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand and lend a sculptural weight to the surface. Subtle tonal modulations in the background add depth while maintaining a minimalist sensibility.

    Stylistically, the work reflects mid-century modernist tendencies – simplicity of form, clarity of shape, and an emphasis on the quiet beauty of the ordinary.

    This oil on board is beautifully presented in a characterful wooden frame with a ribbed pattern, and finished in a light cream with muted gilt edging. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a slight widening to corners but it is in a stable and good condition overall.

    Size:  50 x 62.5 cm (including frame)
