A very striking mid century composition of two acrobats swinging in action, executed in watercolour onto paper.
Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has skilfully reduced this composition down into shapes and lines using contrasting colour blocks.

Bold and deliberate brushstrokes have been confidently executed, capturing the energy and dynamism of the swinging acrobats.

SOLD.
A brilliantly executed and very striking modernist figurative oil painting 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 affectionate portrait depicts a silhouette of a female figure and male figure standing next to each other and holding hands, set against a background with planes of colours that repeat within the figures. The facial features of the figures have been intentionally left out, focusing our attention to the power and beauty of colour.
Through the use of fine and detailed brushstrokes, the artist has skilfully reconstructed this scene down to flat blocks of contrasting colours to highlight the respective forms.
The artist outstanding painterly skills is further displayed through the thin outlines around the figures. A range of primary colours create different focal points, encouraging our eyes to move across the picture.

A large mid century modernist coastalscape, painted in oil onto canvas.
In this composition we see a long pier heading out towards the sea, with the backs of a figure and horse cart walking away from us. In the distance, a large cloud hangs over a ship, with streams of rain visible. The artist has used two thirds of the composition to paint the sky, yet there is real sense of the vastness of the coastal shoreline. The artist has carefully and delicately used the tip of his brush to paint in wonderful details – such as the little red bed sitting on the line between the poles, the horse drawn cart, the ship out at sea, as well as the lines showing the pouring rain in the distance. The artist has captured the essence of the coastal scene through his expressive yet considered brushwork, imbuing the painting with depth, movement, and tranquillity.
This wonderful painting is housed in its original mid century wide profile champagne coloured frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.
The composition features a jar and some fruits on a raised surface, set against a well-coloured background of green, white and yellow. Upon first glance, our eyes are immediately drawn to the jar in the middle whose larger size as well as striking dark brown and white colours that contrast starkly capture our attention.
Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details and has reduced the forms down to expressive brushstrokes, blocks of rich colour as well as bold white outlines.
Distinct expressive multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas, and have been executed with vigour and confidence. The artist displays a deep understanding of colour as he skilfully overlays contrasting shades to demonstrate depth and interest to the painting, and the unique white bold outlines wonderfully accentuate the three dimensionality of the objects.

SOLD.
An incredibly well executed semi abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1967 by the established artist Ivar Morsing.
This painting depicts what appears to be a group of figures huddled together. Although merged into one unified form, we can still make out some of the individual features of the figures. The painting has an exceptionally emotive effect (typical of Morsing’s style), alluding to hush whispers and murmurs emanating from the group. The rounded figures seem to pulsate from the surface, their curved forms intertwining, weaving in and out from each other.
The painting is housed in a black floater frame that suits it very well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The edges of the board have been taped (as shown in close ups), some of which has some wear. The frame is in good vintage condition.

A stunning abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. The painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.
Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.
In this piece, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.
Her paintings evolve intuitively to find rather than make the work. She continues to build up and simplify until the composition settles cohesively.
Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
Size: 35.5 x 35.5 cm (including frame)
This painting matches perfectly with another piece by the same artist, which you can view here.

A peaceful and very atmospheric modernist coastal landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.
In this picturesque composition, a winding road lined with houses surround costal cliffs and an ocean that leads to the horizon.
This painting is very balanced with a mix of moody darker shades used to paint the cliffs, houses and land area, contrasting against paler lighter colours of the sky, sea and road. We could perhaps infer that it is early in the morning, before the sun has risen fully.
Gentle painterly brushstrokes have been applied to create this modernist composition, and it wonderfully captures the quietude and serenity of nature.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wooden frame with an inner silver window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

SOLD.
A brilliantly executed typically modernist mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board.
The painting depicts a row of houses surrounded by trees in the woods. The artist has abstracted this scene down to flattened angular shapes that have almost been arranged on the board like a puzzle.
A highly contrasting colour palette has been used – with dark and moody tones of browns and greens used to depict the woods, and lighter shades of cream used to depict the houses. The striking contrast in colour not only helps to create depth to the painting, but is also a powerful way to bring our attention to the focal point (the houses).
The painting is housed in a well suited dark wood frame with an inner gilt and linen window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note that there is some glare to the photos (particularly to the right side) due to the dark palette of the painting. There is no fading to the painting.

A large and textured mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
Expressionist and yet very detailed, textured brushwork creates the wonderfully balanced composition of a long farmhouse within a rural landscape. The farmhouse sits surrounded by fields and woodland, and the artist has used a very rich, earthy palette to create this composition. The textured way in which the paint has been applied conveys the rustic feel of the natural landscape. The long composition gives us a sense of the expansiveness of this rural scene.
This large painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which has a beautiful woven border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a small nick to the top edge (as seen in the close up photo), but this does not detract from the overall appearance of the frame which is otherwise in good condition.

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
A group of objects including a wine bottle, a pitcher and a tray are placed by the corner of a window sill, and we are also presented with a glimpse of a view of the surrounding houses outside.
The artist has skilfully managed to capture stillness in this painting, providing us (the viewer) an opportunity to observe intricate details such as the shadows cast from the tray and pitcher, as well as reflection of the green wine bottle against the side surface.
A subdued colour palette including light shades of green, yellow and blue have been used, instilling calm in this painting. And the respective objects are defined by thin black outlines, drawing our attention to their individual shapes and forms.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light wood frame. There is very light craquelure and some very minor areas of paint loss which are only visible upon very close inspection, and do not at all detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some age wear too, commensurate with age.
