Figures in a Dream

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within a card mount and a stained black wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex.

Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

Size: 55 x 74 cm (including frame)

SOLD

A minimalist and inviting composition that presents a tranquil seaside setting, painted in oil onto board and dated 1982.

Two empty blue chairs punctuate the composition, and are subtly placed on a sandy shore. The horizon line delicately separates the soft pink sky from the muted blue ocean, evoking a dreamlike stillness. Executed in a minimalist and semi-abstract style, the composition emphasises simplicity, and conveys a sense of quiet anticipation and nostalgia, as if capturing the remnants of a conversation or an intimate moment left behind.

The artist has used a restrained palette dominated by pastel tones—muted pinks, warm beige, and soft blues. The gentle contrast between these hues enhances the overall sense of calm and harmony, with the blue chairs standing out as focal points against the subdued background.

The brushwork is delicate and layered, blending colours to create an impressionistic haze that blurs the boundaries between sky, sea, and sand, and reinforcing the ethereal mood of the scene.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small area of paint loss at its lower edge as shown.

Size: 56 x 66.5 cm (including frame)

Fading Tide

Sold

SOLD

A soothing and evocative mid-century abstract coastal landscape that captures the quiet beauty of a shoreline, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

The composition is divided into layered horizontal bands, suggesting the sea, sky, and land. The horizon line is subtly softened, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective.

The artist has used a muted palette, comprising of cool blues and greys dominating the upper section to represent the sky and distant sea, while the middle ground features off-whites and sandy beiges, suggesting a shoreline. The foreground contrasts with deep browns and blacks, adding depth and grounding the composition.

The painting embraces an abstract, impressionistic approach with expressive and gestural brushwork. The emphasis is on texture and layering rather than fine details, allowing the viewer to interpret the landscape with a sense of emotion and mood rather than realistic details.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing at its top left corner.

Figures by the House

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century modernist style figurative street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts two male figures engaged in conversation by a street, surrounded by angular houses.

Modernist in its ethos with abstract qualities, the artist has skilfully deconstructed the composition down to blocks of contrasting colour, demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

The artist employs a restrained yet moody palette dominated by cool tones—muted blues, greys, and earthy neutrals—enhancing the atmospheric, almost melancholic mood of the scene.

The brushstrokes are expressive and textured, applied in a thick, impasto manner, lending the work a raw, tactile quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffing.

Size: 47 x 55.5 cm (including frame)
