Singing by the Fire

Sold

SOLD

A fun and joyful composition of an interior home setting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1982.

This charming narrative painting features an array of details for us to explore, from the patterns of the rugs and walls, to the curtains and objects on the walls and the tiled stove with a fire.

A family of adults and young children are sat by a table laid out with drinks. They appear to have a song book in their hand, as they listen and sing to the music played by the musician with the accordion at the right foreground of the painting.

The artist has used a Naïve style, infusing the painting with an aura of playful charm as well as rich colours. There is sincerity to its simplicity, making it an enjoyable piece to slowly take in and explore with its wonderful array of details and uplifting feel.

Symphony of Trees

Sold

SOLD

A striking and brilliantly executed modernist style landscape composition that presents a stylised woodland scene reimagined through bold abstraction, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959.

Tall, vertical shapes suggest stands of trees rising in rhythmic formations, their trunks and canopies broken into geometric planes of green, and pale yellow. Rounded forms in burnt orange and deep red punctuate the foreground, evoking foliage or sculptural boulders, while angular planes of mauve, lilac, and blue sweep across the ground to create shifting patches of shadow and light. In the distance, softened silhouettes of hills and sky fade into pale blues and lavender tones, balancing the composition with calm horizontality.

Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist has used flat, faceted brushstrokes and strong colour blocking to reduce the natural landscape into a dynamic interplay of shape, hue, and texture. The surface is rich with visible, deliberate brushwork, where each stroke contributes to the overall rhythm of the piece.

This is a quintessential example of mid-century landscape abstraction, where the familiar forms of nature are transformed into a harmonious geometric composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

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

Topography in Green

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century abstract composition painted in oil 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.

This abstract composition evokes a coastal or industrial landscape through a series of bold geometric forms and a restrained, earthen palette. The composition is anchored by a solid horizontal band of deep olive and brown, suggesting a distant shoreline or structure, while above it, angular bursts of cobalt blue, lemon yellow, and white hint at rooftops or sails catching the light. The lower half is dominated by cool, muted greens and greys, with subtle layering and visible palette knife marks that add a tactile quality.

The painting features a mix of smooth and textured brushstrokes, with areas of impasto lending weight and structure. The deliberate abstraction flattens perspective, creating a sense of quiet tension between land, form, and space.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully suited gilt frame with an inner linen border and gilt window. There is some craquelure present mainly on the top section of the painting, but the paint layer is stable overall and this does not detract from the overall composition. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

Size: 61 x 70 cm (including frame)

Topography in Red

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century abstract composition painted in oil 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.

In this composition, we can discern that the artist has abstracted a landscape into a dynamic interplay of geometry, texture, and tone. Horizontal planes in earthy reds, browns, and beige suggest a stylised terrain – possibly evoking farmland or desert formations – interrupted by sharp, angular forms that hint at distant structures or dwellings.

The composition is boldly architectural, grounded in the principles of mid-century modernist abstraction. The artist has applied oil paint in dense, tactile layers, with expressive impasto and areas of scraped-back texture. Pops of cobalt blue, yellow, and a crisp white triangle create points of visual tension and balance, lifting the palette from its otherwise grounded tonality.

A striking example of mid-century abstraction, the painting balances structure with expressive vitality, offering a modernist meditation on land, form, and space.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully suited gilt frame with an inner linen border and gilt window. There is some craquelure present as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is stable overall and this does not detract from the overall composition. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

Twilight Over Bay

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century modernist painting that captures a tranquil coastal landscape bathed in the cool hush of evening light, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

A rugged shoreline dominates the foreground, its cliffs rendered in deep charcoal, mauve, and sienna tones, leading the eye toward a serene inlet that reflects the muted sky above.

The brushwork is confident – swift, expressive strokes shape the rocky terrain, while smoother, more fluid strokes define the still water and clouded sky. The pale turquoise sea contrasts gently against the darker crags, suggesting the last light of day catching on the water’s surface.

The sky is softened by horizontal swathes of greys, pinks, and purples, evoking a moment just before dusk settles.

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

Winter Corner

Sold

SOLD

A charming and lively winter street scene composition animated by everyday life, painted in a Naïve, expressive style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

A lively cross-section of the town unfolds beneath a snowy sky, with bundled-up pedestrians and children, bustling traffic, and colourful facades of buildings. At the forefront, a group of figures walks across a snow-covered road, while a café scene to the left offers a warm interior contrast, its aqua-blue curtains framing diners mid-conversation.

Rendered in a naïve style, the work is rich in storytelling detail and communal warmth. The brushstrokes are expressive and confident, with thick applications of paint lending a textured, tactile quality to the icy streets and clothing folds. The palette is joyful and vivid – icy blues, moss greens, reds, and apricot tones come together to enliven the cold winter setting, while bold outlines and rhythmic patterns give the composition a whimsical structure.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, this striking painting emphasises rich colours, decorative pattern, and an illustrative quality.

Figures in Still Light

Sold

SOLD.

A nostalgic and introspective mid-century modernist style figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

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

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

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

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

Lemon & Green Cup

Sold

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

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

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

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

Nocturne Sail

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

SOLD

A compelling and characterful still life composition executed in oil on board and dated 1964, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

Rendered in thick, deliberate strokes, the pears exhibit a range of green and golden tones, highlighting the subtle variations in ripeness and light. The background is divided into muted blocks of beige and muted pink, adding a sense of modernist abstraction while allowing the forms to remain grounded and tangible.

The brushwork is notably expressive, with impasto applications lending a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the fruit and surface.

Sold

SOLD.

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

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

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

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

Quiet Hours

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

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

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

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

A vibrant and playful mid-century coastal landscape composition in oil, painted in 1961 by Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

The Cockerel

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

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

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

A Horse with No Name

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

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

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

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

The composition reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: bold brushwork, expressive abstraction, and a spontaneous energy that animates the landscape.

The water shimmers with layered greens and whites, and the trees are defined with confident, gestural marks.

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

Afternoon Light

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

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

Amy

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

Boats by Moonlight

Sold

SOLD.

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

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

Coastal Reverie

SOLD

A contemporary abstract landscape painting that presents a tranquil yet expressive interpretation of a coastal horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2004.

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

Rendered in an abstract style and reminiscent of Colour Field painting, the artist has used a harmonious palette of soft lavender, warm orange, muted olive, deep turquoise, and pale sky blue – imbuing the work with a soothing quality. Broad, gestural brushstrokes have been executed, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through in places, creating a sense of movement and organic imperfection. The blending of colours suggests atmospheric depth, while the bold, dark band of blue-green near the horizon anchors the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye across the expanse of land and sea.

Collision of Colour

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

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

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

Form & Field (Set of 2)

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

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

These oils on board come as a pair, and are each housed in a complementary wood frame. Both paintings and frames are in excellent vintage condition.

Size of each painting: 42 x 31.5 cm (including frame)

Fragmented Dwellings

Sold

SOLD

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

The composition is dominated by two geometric figures, reminiscent of houses or buildings, rendered in an intersecting grid of warm earthy tone of burnt orange and deep brown – accented with bold strokes of cobalt blue and black outlines. The background is divided into muted blocks of black, grey, and off-white, grounding the figures in a minimal yet evocative setting.

The style is distinctly abstract, drawing influences from Cubism, with an emphasis on geometric fragmentation and balance. The brushstrokes are deliberate and textured, with visible layering that adds depth and richness to the composition. The interplay of sharp angles and curved segments within the forms creates a dynamic contrast, inviting the viewer to interpret the spatial relationships and underlying forms.

This oil painted on card is framed behind glass, and is presented within a card mount. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Size: 38.5 x 51.5 cm (including frame)
