The White Boat

Sold

SOLD

A compelling minimalist coastal landscape painting that captures a moment of quiet isolation from a high vantage point, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2006.

At the heart of the composition, a lone white boat gently floats in a muted blue-grey body of water, its tilted angle adding a sense of drifting movement. The scene is bordered above by a dense expanse of deep greens – evoking rich, overgrown coastal foliage – which dramatically meets the waterline in a jagged edge, suggesting a tree-lined cliff or forested headland.

The painting is executed in a modernist style with thick, textured brushwork. The artist has applied broad, horizontal strokes to the water, allowing tonal shifts of grey, blue, and muted green to emerge. The foliage is rendered in expressive, layered swathes of dark greens, creating a weighty contrast against the pale expanse on the left – possibly a suggestion of open sand.

Despite its minimal detailing, the work conveys a powerful narrative of solitude.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white frame. The painting has minor craquelure present at its upper right area, but the paint layer is very stable and it is only noticeable upon close inspection.

When I Dream, No One is Home

Sold

SOLD

A captivating and enigmatic urban dreamscape painted in a surrealist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 2007.

The painting unfolds where rows of identical arched windows form undulating red facades that seem to stretch endlessly under a restless sky. A lone man in a tan suit stands solemnly in the lower foreground, his pallid expression contrasting against the architectural rhythm that engulfs him. A towering streetlamp looms large, nearly intrusive, disrupting the visual symmetry and deepening the sense of alienation.

The style leans toward Surrealism, with echoes of de Chirico in its spatial disquiet and uncanny atmosphere. The artist uses bold outlines and flat planes of colour to render the buildings, giving them a graphic, almost theatrical quality. The colour palette is dominated by deep reds, burnt siennas, ochres, and stark whites, under a blue sky dotted with stylised clouds.

Brushstrokes are precise and deliberate, creating smooth surfaces and crisp contours, particularly in the architecture and sky. The textures of the suit and hair of the figure are more softly layered, offering subtle contrast. The overall effect is dreamlike and contemplative.

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

Black & White House

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist oil composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

Containing elements of abstraction, we can discern a house setting that has been simplified and reduced to blocks of contrasting colours and outlines that help define the contours of the surrounding environment and objects.

The artist has deliberately used a restrained palette that allows for a harmonious and balanced color scheme – with predominantly black and white hues with subtle hints of purple undertones in certain areas.

The masterful use of the impasto technique adds depth and dimension to the painting as well as a textile quality. Each textured and powerful stroke is imbued with a palpable sense of movement and emotion, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

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

Echoes of the Land

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century modernist abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents a stylised interpretation of nature through bold form and gestural brushwork. Two dark, vertical trees anchor the composition, their forms fragmented into thick, angular blocks of olive green, mustard yellow and inky black. The landscape is rendered as interlocking planes of colour – deep green hills, brown patches of earth, and a slate-toned pathway – leading the eye toward a serene body of pale blue water, all beneath a moody, indigo sky.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work distills the natural environment into geometric abstraction. The brushstrokes are broad and intentional, layered with visible texture that suggests movement and depth. The palette is earthy and subdued, yet infused with a quiet vibrancy, reflecting the artist’s affinity for structure and form over literal representation.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. There are some minor marks at the top central top of painting, but it is otherwise in very good vintage condition.

Fluid Forms

Sold

SOLD

A dynamic mid-century abstract painting that captures the essence of fluid motion through its bold, intertwined shapes, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966.

The composition features sweeping curves and organic forms that intersect and flow seamlessly, evoking a sense of continuous movement and transformation.

The colour palette has vibrant hues of burnt orange, sky blue, stark white, and deep black set against a muted greyish-blue background. The contrasting colours are both harmonious and striking, creating a visually compelling balance between warmth and coolness.

The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes that are slightly textured, giving the painting a light tactile quality. The layering of colours and forms suggests depth, while the curvilinear lines guide the eye through the composition in a rhythmic, almost dance-like manner.

This oil on board is housed in a very unique linen-lined frame with decorative moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Harbour Light

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist coastal painting that captures a serene dockside scene bathed in soft daylight, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.

Fishing boats are moored alongside a working pier, flanked by crates, nets, and a striking red navigation beacon at centre. The artist has used a flattened perspective and simplified forms to convey the geometry of the harbour while preserving its quiet charm.

Rendered in a harmonious palette of green, powder blue, yellow, and muted crimson, the composition is infused with a breezy, contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is energetic yet controlled – broad, confident strokes describe boats and buildings, while finer, expressive lines evoke movement in the water and grass. The interplay of structure and spontaneity gives the painting both architectural weight and lyrical rhythm.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary champagne wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting has scattered areas of craquelure as shown, and a small area of paint loss to the upper edge (also shown in close ups). The frame is in good vintage condition.

Maritime Ship and Whale

Sold

SOLD

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.

Misty Shoreline

Sold

SOLD

A mid-century modernist serene coastal landscape captures the quiet, contemplative mood of a misty shoreline, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition unfolds in horizontal bands, with earthy greens and orange marking grassy dunes in the foreground, gently transitioning into muted lavender and sandy tones along a rugged path that leads the eye toward a hazy seascape. A pale sky hangs over the scene, dissolving almost seamlessly into the ocean beyond, evoking a sense of distance and solitude.

Painted with confident, textural brushstrokes, the work displays the hallmarks of mid-century plein air expression. The artist’s technique is loose yet purposeful, blending areas of texture and thin washes to render light and atmosphere with immediacy. The gentle palette reinforces the painting’s quiet mood, while the bold greens and slate greys lend grounding contrast.

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

$Refractions by the Sea$
Refractions by the Sea

Sold

SOLD

A large and engaging mid-century modernist still life painting that presents an elegant arrangement of glass bottles and a ceramic bowl on a table, set against a serene coastal backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is framed by two dark vertical elements, likely window shutters, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the deep blue sea and a distant green landmass on the horizon. The bottles, both clear and green, create a mesmerising interplay of transparency, light, and reflection, subtly distorting the landscape behind them.

Executed in a modernist style, the painting emphasises simplified forms, clean edges, and a controlled use of perspective. The artist’s restrained brushstrokes contribute to a smooth and polished surface, with a focus on geometric balance and spatial harmony. The colour palette is carefully curated, featuring cool blues and greens contrasted with the warm reds and browns of the table. The overall effect is contemplative and refined, capturing the quiet beauty of everyday objects bathed in natural light.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark gilt frame. The is some minor craquelure to the bottom area of the green vessel, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

Shadowed Huts

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist oil composition that distills an architectural scene into a series of angular forms and geometric planes, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

The composition appears to depict clustered huts rendered in an abstracted, cubist manner – each structure fragmented into simplified blocks of light and dark. The overlapping rooftops and stark verticals guide the eye across a village that feels both familiar and surreal.

The palette is moody and minimal, dominated by deep charcoal, blue, and cream tones with hints of peach. These shades add an atmospheric quietude to the scene, suggesting dusk.

Thick, directional brushstrokes carved into impasto layers give the painting a tactile depth. The artist’s hand is evident in the textured surface, with strokes laid down in rhythmic, almost architectural patterns. The style draws on both Cubist abstraction and the expressive materiality of mid-century modernism, offering a bold yet contemplative visual experience.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting has some craquelure present, and the frame has some scuffs.

Sperm Whale Duo

Sold

SOLD

A very engaging nautical whale scene, painted in a naïve style in oil onto canvas, by British artist Matt Rix.

This painting features two stylized sperm whales swimming side by side in calm blue waters, rendered in a folk art style. The upper whale is painted in a deep black with a prominent rectangular head, a curled tail, and a red mouth filled with sharp white teeth. Its expression is alert, with a white eye accentuating the quirky character.

Below it, a second sperm whale is depicted in grey tones, its body transitioning from dark grey on the head to pale silvery grey at the tail. It mirrors the shape of the upper whale, including the toothy grin and small, expressive eye, but has a more subtle, weathered texture that suggests depth or distance.

The overall effect is both whimsical and calm, evoking a playful marine scene with a touch of narrative — perhaps a parent and calf, or two companions in the deep. The use of flat colours, simplified forms, and deliberate textures gives the painting a naïve, handcrafted charm.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales.

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist still life composition that captures a tabletop arrangement rendered in bold, expressive strokes, executed in oil onto canvas.

Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the painting presents a tall green bottle, flanked by two oranges and two pears – one a deep green and the other a warm golden hue. The fruit appears loosely arranged on a white and mauve tablecloth, set against a richly layered background of deep blues and soft purples.

The artist has used a vivid and and lively colour palette, with saturated tones of green, burnt orange, rich blue and violet playing off one another to create both harmony and contrast.

Cascade

SOLD

A modernist style landscape composition that captures a stylised waterfall set within a structured, geometric environment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

Water tumbles over tiered stone forms into a reflective pool, rendered in broad, angular planes of blue, teal, and slate. The cascading motion is conveyed through expressive, rhythmic brushstrokes of white and pale blue, suggesting both movement and the texture of falling water.

The background features sculpted greenery and architectural elements, abstracted into flattened patches of greens. The artist’s use of simplified shapes and a restrained palette lends a sculptural quality to the composition, evoking harmony between man-made structure and nature.

Executed in a bold, expressive style, the brushwork is confident and purposeful. The palette of cool blues and greens is balanced by the warm, earthy tones of the water’s surface, creating a serene yet dynamic visual rhythm.

Coastal Horizons

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape that captures the essence of a tranquil shoreline, executed in oil onto board and dated 1977 on the reverse.

The work exhibits an abstract, yet expressive style, characterised by a loose, painterly approach, and focuses on the interplay of form and colour as opposed to realistic details.

The artist has used broad and gestural brushstrokes, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The use of short expressive dabs used to paint the landscape and sky contrasts with the smooth, almost ethereal handling of the water and sand, which adds character to the painting.

A harmonious palette of soft blues, whites, and muted earth tones dominate the work, infusing the scene with a calming aesthetic. The cool blues of the water contrast gently with the muted sands, while touches of olive green and yellow along the shore evoke the natural beauty of the scene.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary solid wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.

Dual Horizons (Set of 2)

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century pair that captures a bold interplay of form and colour across two abstract compositions, painted in oil 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.

One panel features a cool-toned palette of slate grey, deep navy, teal, and pale blue, punctuated by a vertical yellow accent and small geometric whites and blacks. A strong horizontal composition grounds the piece, evoking a minimalist seascape or terrain without literal reference. The brushwork is confident yet restrained, layering flat blocks of colour with subtle texture.

In contrast, the other panel warms the viewer with earthy browns, burnt orange, ochre, charcoal, and a flash of cobalt blue. Its broader, blockier forms appear as abstracted architecture or landscape, with rugged edges and expressive brushstrokes suggesting motion and depth. The juxtaposition of these two works reveals Oswald’s mastery in balancing contrast – between cool and warm, geometry and gesture, stillness and energy.

Each oil on board is housed in a very well suited frame with an inner linen lining and a gilt border. Both paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have very minor scuffs.

Size of each painting: 45 x 40 cm (including frame)

Introspective Man

Sold

SOLD

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

This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract portrait rendered in a loose, painterly style. It depicts a seated figure at a table, surrounded by shades of blue and teal, which dominate the composition and establish a cool, contemplative mood.

A tall vase of white flowers sits prominently on the table, painted with gestural, quick strokes. The flowers and green stems contrast sharply with the blue background, drawing the viewer’s eye.

The surface is highly textured, with areas of impasto and visible brushstrokes, particularly around the figure and floral arrangement. A range of blues—from pale to deep ultramarine—forms the primary backdrop, softened by touches of brown, green, white, and flesh tones. A small patch of bright blue on the table adds a focal point in the foreground.

This is a moody, introspective work that captures a quiet moment of solitude or thoughtfulness. The use of abstraction and layered brushwork conveys depth and emotion, while the limited palette enhances the sense of stillness and quiet. It’s a piece that invites reflection, both visually and emotionally.

The painting is housed in a well suited silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.

Nature’s Abstraction

Sold

SOLD

A wonderfully executed minimalist abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 2012.

Although abstract in nature, the painting appears to depict a loosely defined nature setting, with elements suggesting trees, foliage, and perhaps a pathway.

All realistic details have been omitted, and the artist prioritises mood and atmosphere and she presents an abstract interpretation of nature.

The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including whites, pale pinks, creams, and yellows, contrasted by darker blacks and greens. These colours suggest tranquility and balance, reinforcing the serene mood of the painting.

The brushwork is loose and varied, with areas of thicker application and visible texture contrasting with smoother, more blended sections. The expressive, gestural strokes create movement and depth, while the layering of paint adds a tactile quality.

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

Parisian Stroll

Sold

SOLD

A captivating mid-century modernist painting that presents a dynamic street scene in Paris, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures the movement of pedestrians strolling along a wet boulevard, their reflections shimmering on the glistening pavement. Bare winter trees line the street, leading the eye toward a hazy backdrop of grand Parisian architecture. The figures are loosely defined yet expressive, evoking a sense of anonymity.

Containing elements of impressionism, the painting emphasises mood and atmosphere over fine detail. The loose, gestural brushwork creates a sense of movement and transience, wonderfully capturing this fleeting moment in time.

Study in Repose

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed composition that presents a solitary, stylised nude figure leaning against a plinth in what appears to be an abstracted artist’s studio or model room, painted in oil onto canvas.

Composed in 1972, the painting captures a quiet moment of introspection and stillness, with the figure’s curved posture offering a gentle contrast to the geometric rigidity of the surrounding environment.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is constructed from flat, overlapping planes in muted tones of olive green, slate blue, warm orange, and deep maroon. The palette is cool and contemplative, creating a sense of psychological distance. A bold vertical panel in ultramarine anchors the left side of the work, drawing the eye toward the model. The right side recedes into architectural partitions and screens, painted in icy blue hues that hint at spatial depth without offering realism.

The artist’s brushwork is smooth and restrained, with minimal surface texture. Shadows and contours are suggested through tonal blocks rather than modelled detail, emphasising form over naturalism. This painting exemplifies a mid-century approach to figuration – introspective, architectural, and emotionally withheld – where the human form becomes part of a studied, constructed environment.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame painted silver. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

Verdant Echoes

Sold

SOLD

A striking and emotive 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.

The painting invites the viewer into a dynamic interplay of layered greens, icy blues, and deep emerald hues. Sweeping diagonals and overlapping forms create a sense of movement and quiet tension, evoking natural forms without direct representation. At its core, the painting pulses with organic vitality – its soft jade and moss tones offset by the smoky depth of midnight green and slate.

The brushstrokes vary in texture and direction, with areas of thick impasto contrasting with smoother, almost scraped-back planes. Textural accents and faint gestural arcs emerge through the surface, suggesting a hidden geometry or memory. With a palette both cool and contemplative, Verdant Echoes reflects the era’s fascination with abstraction as emotional landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of paint but the paint layer is very stable overall.

Walking Amongst the Crowd

Sold

SOLD

A intriguing mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting captures a crowd scene composed almost entirely of male figures in dark suits and black bowler hats, their backs turned toward the viewer. Breaking the visual uniformity are two female figures in vivid pink hats – one centrally placed and clad in pale blue, and another at the lower section in the composition, also crowned in red with a puff of white plume.

The work embraces a flattened perspective and graphic abstraction typical of mid-century modernism. The composition relies on broad, assertive brushstrokes and a limited, yet expressive palette. The black coats and hats dominate the scene in moody, expressive applications of paint, while the background is a soft grey-blue wash. The pink hats provide a visual jolt, their expressive, loose brushwork suggesting individuality and quiet rebellion amid conformity.

The overall effect is both playful and thought-provoking- an exploration of identity, anonymity, and contrast in a crowd.

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

Beyond the Fields

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and dynamic mid-century modernist abstract composition of nature that distills a vast landscape into bold planes of colour and a textured palette, painted in oil onto canvas.

The painting is structured around angular swathes of earth-toned fields – deep green, blues, whites and rust – intersected by a meandering dark line that evokes a path or stream. A central ridge of forested trees anchors the horizon, silhouetted against a brooding sky rendered in diagonal strokes of lavender, mauve, and blue.

Painted with vigorous, impasto brushwork, the surface is alive with energy. The artist’s crosshatched marks lend a sense of movement and seasonality, as though capturing the wind’s passage across the land. Edges are intentionally rough, revealing areas of white and giving the work an almost tactile sense of spontaneity.

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

Coastal Cafe

Sold

SOLD

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

This painting depicts a sunlit café terrace beside the harbour in Paphos, Cyprus, rendered in a loose, impressionistic style. The scene exudes Mediterranean warmth and leisure, with golden light dominating the palette.

The buildings behind the terrace are painted in soft pastel tones—lavender, peach, and ochre—with subtle shadows suggesting the intensity of the midday sun. A line of round-topped trees stretches into the distance along the promenade, creating a rhythmic, almost sculptural element. On the right side, the calm, blue harbour is visible, with moored boats, gentle waves, and sunlit reflections adding a tranquil touch. In the background, rolling hills and headlands suggest the rugged Cypriot coastline fading into a hazy, sun-washed distance.

The brushwork is loose and expressive, focusing on form and light over fine detail. Figures and objects are suggested rather than defined, giving the scene a dreamy, almost timeless quality.

This work captures a moment of peaceful coastal life, where locals and visitors enjoy the simple pleasure of sitting at a café by the sea. The painting reflects the relaxed elegance of Cyprus and conveys the hazy beauty of Mediterranean light, inviting the viewer into its idyllic atmosphere.

Lakeside Village

Sold

SOLD

A large and vivid mid century modernist landscape scene in oil, painted onto canvas.

It depicts a lakeside village with two houses flanking a winding road that leads the viewer’s eye down to a shimmering body of water. In the background, dark rolling hills or mountains form a dramatic horizon beneath a streaked, lightly clouded sky tinged with orange.

The artist employs bold, impasto brushstrokes, giving the surface rich texture and dynamic movement. The strokes are visible and directional, shaping elements like trees, rooftops, water, and hills. The painting captures the rustic charm and quiet drama of nature. Its swirling strokes and vibrant yet moody palette evoke a feeling of nostalgia, solitude, and emotional connection to place.

The painting is housed in a wide profile frame which suits it well. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some general age wear to the frame, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

The Scalloped Basket

Sold

SOLD

A vivid and striking mid century modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto board.

This painting is a semi-abstract still life with bold shapes and expressive brushwork. It features a dark bowl or basket with a scalloped white rim sitting on a patterned, richly coloured surface, possibly a tablecloth. Next to the bowl are two round yellow and green fruits, likely a lemon and an apple.

The tablecloth has a fragmented, mosaic-like design in deep reds, blues, and blacks, creating strong visual texture and depth. The bowl or dish dominates the left side of the composition, with jagged white accents that contrast sharply with the dark background. The fruits on the lower right provide a pop of colour with their bright yellows and greens. The background wall is pale, divided into two contrasting patches of cream and olive green, adding to the geometric structure of the piece.

The painting is expressionist in style, with loose, energetic brushstrokes and abstracted forms. It emphasises contrast—between light and dark, soft and sharp, warm and cool tones. The mood is introspective and slightly mysterious, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene beyond its literal objects.

This oil on board is housed in a simple wood frame which draws attention to the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Vibrant Fields

Sold

SOLD

A captivating mid-century landscape painting that presents a vibrant and expressive interpretation of the countryside, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1944.

The scene features a patchwork of golden fields, green pastures, and winding roads leading towards distant rolling hills beneath a blue sky. A small white farmhouse and a scattering of trees add a sense of rural charm and tranquility.

Rendered in a bold, impressionistic style, the artist has used thick, visible brushstrokes that give the painting a dynamic texture and movement. The colour palette is rich and striking, dominated by warm yellows, deep greens, and earthy oranges, contrasted by cooler blues in the sky. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the landscape.

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

Size: 46 x 54 cm (including frame)
