A fun and edgy large one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

This monoprint is created from two individual stencils on different ghost print monoprint plates in two separate colours (a ghost print is when the plate has already gone through the press). Whilst the different layers are already in different shapes, there are additional dialogues between the different components because of the different shapes that appear within the main shapes as a result of the ghost print.

Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This print, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations.

This monoprint is housed in a vivid blue frame that further enhances the artwork within. It is protected behind a layer of perspex. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

Size: 72 x 50 cm (including frame)

Fragments of the City
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.

Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner. The architectural forms have been fragmented into angular, interlocking planes, and the cubist influence is evident in the faceted representation of buildings and their integration into the surrounding landscape.

The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including pastel shades that harmonise with deeper hues of brown and red. The subtle blending of colours creates a cohesive and atmospheric effect, while the subdued tones evoke a tranquil, contemplative mood.

The brushwork is expressive, with short, layered strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping strokes enhance the impression of architectural complexity and spatial rhythm.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited distressed style grey painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometric Harbour
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle and brilliantly executed mid-century modern painting that features an abstracted harbour scene, painted in oil onto board and dated 1960.

The composition likely depicts a small fishing village with moored boats and angular buildings nestled along the shore. Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the forms of the boats and architectural elements have been deconstructed and simplified into an arrangement of sharp lines and faceted shapes.

The colour palette is an elegant blend of muted earth tones, including yellow, deep green, soft blue, and beige, creating a harmonious, atmospheric effect. The boats are rendered in stark white, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center of the composition.

Executed in a restrained yet confident manner, the brushstrokes are smooth and blended, with subtle textural variations that enhance depth and structure.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining and white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some surface marks at the bottom right of its inner border.

Geometry in Grey
£540
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mesmerising mid-century geometric abstract painting composed of layered angular forms that appear to float and overlap within a carefully balanced composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The artist explores spatial tension through a series of intersecting planes – rectangles, trapezoids, and irregular polygons – that shift in opacity and tone, creating a rhythmic sense of movement and depth.

Rendered in a restrained monochromatic palette of cool greys, whites, and deep charcoal, the work exudes a quiet architectural precision. The translucent layering of shapes introduces a sense of transparency and lightness, while the hard-edged forms retain a strong graphic clarity.

The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with even application of paint that emphasises the structural purity of the design rather than gestural expression. The artist’s refined control of tone and balance reflects the mid-century fascination with form, proportion, and visual harmony.

This oil on canvas comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It is on stretched canvas so is ready to hang but if you would like us to help you with framing, you can contact us here.

Light Over the Valley
£830
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century modern semi-abstract landscape that distils the countryside into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and light, executed in oil onto board.

Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, leading the eye towards a tranquil body of water and a scattering of farm buildings nestled beneath distant blue-grey hills. A small stand of stylised trees anchors the composition, lending both rhythm and balance to the expansive scene.

Executed in a distinctly Scandinavian modernist manner, the painting favours simplification over detail, reducing the landscape to broad geometric forms and carefully calibrated planes of colour.

The palette is soft and restrained, dominated by creamy whites, muted sage greens, pale yellows, and layered blues that recede gently into the horizon. Subtle touches of lavender-grey and warm earth tones add depth and atmosphere, while the luminous sky bathes the entire scene in a delicate, diffused light.

Brushwork is controlled, with smooth, flattened areas of paint creating a velvety surface. Gentle layering and subtle tonal shifts provide depth without disrupting the composition’s calm simplicity.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a wide white-painted inner mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Morning at the Window
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A expressive mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure standing beside an open window, absorbed in a moment of reflection, executed in oil onto board.

Beyond the window, the simple geometry of a neighbouring house roof cuts against a pale blue sky, while within the room a potted geranium and draped linens lend warmth and domestic intimacy. The composition balances interior and exterior worlds, creating a contemplative atmosphere that feels personal.

Executed in a distinctly modernist manner, the painting demonstrates the restrained sensibilities of mid-century art. Forms are simplified and gently abstracted, with the figure rendered through broad planes of colour rather than detailed modelling. The artist places emphasis on mood and structure, allowing light, shape, and spatial relationships to convey emotion.

The palette is soft and muted, comprising dusty greens, pale greys, warm creams, and chalky whites, punctuated by the rich terracotta reds of the flowers and the deep brown roofline outside. Subtle passages of pale blue sky bring freshness to the composition, while delicate pink undertones soften the interior light.

Brushwork is confident yet sensitive, with visible painterly strokes lending texture and movement across the surface. Layers of paint are applied loosely, creating an appealing interplay between solidity and atmosphere.

This oil on board is presented in an attractive gilt frame with a wide linen-covered mount and an inner white slip. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Profile in Burgundy
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intriguing and emotive mid-century figurative portrait that presents a solitary figure rendered in profile, her face reduced to essential forms and softened contours, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition balances intimacy and mystery, with the subject appearing suspended in quiet contemplation. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist distils the figure into broad planes of colour and shape, creating a deeply expressive and psychologically charged image.

The painting displays strong influences of modernist and expressionist portraiture. The elongated profile, simplified facial features, and restrained detailing place emphasis on mood and presence rather than likeness. The figure emerges from an abstracted background, where space dissolves into textured fields of paint.

The palette is beautifully subdued, dominated by earthy taupes, muted mauves, smoky greys, and deep charcoal tones. Rich burgundy and crimson accents in the garment provide warmth and visual weight, while subtle flashes of pale green and ivory animate the background.

Brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Thick, painterly passages and visible impasto lend the surface a tactile quality, while loose, gestural strokes soften edges and allow forms to dissolve into one another. Scraped and layered paint textures reveal the artist’s process, contributing to the work’s raw emotional depth.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame featuring a natural light wood outer moulding with a wide linen-covered inner mount. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some wear to the outer edges of the frame, commensurate with age.

Remnants of Civilisation
£410
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An original abstract painting, executed in oil onto cradled panel.

The painting depicts a landscape theme and explores the concepts of art and architecture. Flat planes in a variety of contrasting colours are arranged together, some intersecting and overlaying, creating an illusion of depth and perspective. These colours are rich and vivid, creating a bright and playful energy. Although smooth and matte in its finish, the artist has included areas where we are able to see the application and texturing of the paint. Juxtaposing the hard angled lines, is a row of scalloping that adds a wonderful detail and draws our eye in.

Seaside Conversation
£615
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully pared-back mid-century coastal scene oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The painting captures two figures seated on a bench overlooking a tranquil waterfront. In the distance, a solitary lighthouse rises against the horizon, acting as a quiet focal point within the composition. The painting evokes a sense of stillness and companionship, with the figures absorbed in the calm atmosphere of the shoreline.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is reduced to simplified geometric forms and broad areas of colour. The artist prioritises shape, balance, and mood over fine detail, creating an image that feels both spontaneous and carefully structured.

The palette is warm and harmonious, combining sunlit browns, sandy terracottas, soft creams, and cool blues. Deep olive greens and charcoal tones anchor the composition, while the expansive blue sea and sky introduce a sense of openness and light.

Brushwork is confident with flat, deliberate applications of paint defining forms through blocks of colour rather than line. Visible brushstrokes add texture and vitality, while subtle shifts in tone create depth within the simplified landscape. The result is a striking balance between abstraction and representation, conveying the essence of a coastal moment with remarkable clarity.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some small areas of paint loss but this does not detract from the overall appearance.

Sunlit Forms
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.

Sunlit Landing
£715
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quietly evocative mid-century interior painting that captures a moment of stillness within a domestic space. executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition centres on a staircase landing with painted balustrades, illuminated by the soft glow of sunlight streaming through unseen windows. Reflections of the window panes dance across the wall, transforming an otherwise ordinary architectural setting into a contemplative study of light, shadow, and geometry.

Executed in a restrained realist style with subtle modernist sensibilities, the painting demonstrates the fascination with everyday spaces and atmospheric mood. The artist has reduced the scene to a series of intersecting planes and angular forms, allowing the architecture itself to become the subject. The absence of figures heightens the sense of solitude and invites the viewer to inhabit the space imaginatively.

The palette is beautifully muted, comprising smoky greys, warm taupes, deep umber browns, and soft sage-green tones. The luminous cream-coloured reflections from the windows provide a gentle focal point, contrasting with the darker vertical shadows that anchor the composition. These carefully balanced tones create a tranquil and introspective atmosphere.

Brushwork is controlled and understated, with smooth, blended applications of paint that soften transitions between light and shadow. Delicate layering and subtle tonal gradations lend depth to the walls and architectural elements, while the balustrades are rendered with slightly firmer, more defined strokes. The overall surface possesses a calm, velvety quality that enhances the painting’s meditative character.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary warm honey-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small areas of scuffing.

A striking modernist coastal landscape captures a harbour scene rendered through simplified architectural forms and broad planes of colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1971.

Fishing boats rest calmly along the water’s edge, framed by buildings and sheds that sit beneath a pale, expansive sky. The composition balances structure and stillness beautifully, evoking the peaceful rhythm of a seaside port at rest.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting leans into geometric abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The buildings are reduced into angular blocks and softened silhouettes, giving the scene a calm atmosphere.

£490
Available

A striking geometric composition in acrylic, painted onto card and dated ’23.

A striking mid-century abstract cityscape rendered in a restrained muted palette, executed in oil onto board.

The painting captures an imagined urban landscape reduced to essential form and shadow. Angular blocks suggest rooftops, facades, and stacked buildings, layered tightly across a sloping terrain beneath a distant hill.

The artist has used deliberate, textured brushstrokes to create architectural weight and spatial tension. The colour scheme leans toward steely greys, deep charcoal, slate blue, and hints of taupe, giving the composition a quiet, contemplative tone.

Winter Reeds
£405
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A tranquil and subdued mid-century landscape painting that captures an atmospheric wetland scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

In this painting, slender reeds rise delicately from a mist-covered foreground and distant trees emerge softly through a veil of fog. The composition feels wonderfully restrained and contemplative, balancing open space with bold dark landforms that drift horizontally across the canvas like quiet islands in thawing winter waters.

Executed in a gestural modernist style, the painting relies on mood and suggestion rather than strict detail. A muted palette of soft sage green, smoky grey, ivory and deep charcoal creates a beautifully subdued harmony, while hints of earthy browns in the reeds add warmth and vertical movement to the composition. The brushwork is fluid and expressive throughout – broad sweeping strokes soften the landscape into abstraction, contrasted by fine linear marks that give the reeds an elegant calligraphic quality. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and dynamic, with an almost poetic sense of stillness and atmosphere.

Woman with a Red Flower
£965
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative painting, 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 depicts a solitary female figure standing frontally against a simplified geometric backdrop. Her elongated neck, pale face, and slender hands lend the composition a quiet elegance, while the single red flower held delicately at her side introduces a note of tenderness and mystery. The figure’s direct gaze and still posture create an introspective mood, inviting the viewer to contemplate her inner world.

Executed in a refined mid-century modernist semi-abstract style, the artist has reduced the figure to essential forms, favouring flat planes of colour and simplified anatomy over realism. The composition recalls the poetic restraint of European modernist portraiture, where emotional presence is conveyed through shape, colour, and balance rather than intricate detail.

The palette is beautifully restrained, centred around warm dusty rose, terracotta, and deep cocoa-brown tones. The figure’s dress harmonises with the surrounding background, creating a subtle tonal unity, while her ivory-white skin provides striking contrast. The small crimson flower acts as a focal point, drawing the eye and adding a vivid accent to the otherwise muted composition.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with broad, even applications of paint that emphasise the painting’s flat decorative qualities. Subtle variations in texture and tone reveal the artist’s hand without disrupting the calm surface.

Woodland Overtures
£470
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking contemporary Cornish abstract painting, executed in oil on board and dated 2024.

Abstract in nature and titled ‘Woodland Overtures’, the composition is an interplay of bold, curvilinear forms that suggest the intertwining of trees, foliage, and natural pathways, reinterpreted through a modernist lens.

The palette is rich, featuring warm ochres, blacks, soft lilacs, and off-whites, punctuated by a striking red accent that commands attention at the painting’s core. Delicate red and black contour lines weave through the forms, adding a sense of structure and movement to the composition.

The brushstrokes vary between smooth, controlled edges and more spontaneous, gestural elements, giving depth and dynamism to the work.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame. The painting has a very tiny area of paint loss at its right side as shown in close up. The frame has some very light marks but this does not detract from its overall appearance.

Woodland Rhythm
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A dynamic mid-century artwork that can be read as an abstracted woodland scene, where slender tree trunks and clustered canopies are distilled into rhythmic, angular forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

The vertical lines suggest trunks or branches, while the overlapping triangular and faceted shapes evoke dense foliage catching light at different angles. Rather than a literal forest, it feels like a memory or impression of one – fragmented, layered, and alive with quiet movement.

The style leans into geometric abstraction with strong cubist influence, where natural forms are broken down into interlocking planes. The composition feels almost musical in its repetition – trees rising and overlapping, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. There’s a balance between structure and spontaneity, as the eye moves through the clustered forms like walking through a stylised grove.

The palette is rich yet earthy: dominated by browns, mustard yellows, olive greens, and warm rust tones that suggest autumnal foliage or filtered forest light. Darker browns and charcoal lines anchor the composition, acting as trunks or branches that give structure to the scene.

Brushwork remains controlled and deliberate, with paint applied in flat, confident planes that emphasise form over texture. Subtle variations in tone and the visible weave of the canvas add warmth and tactility, reinforcing the painting’s grounded, organic feel despite its abstraction.

This oil on board is housed complementary layered wooden frame with pronounced grain, as well as a cream-toned inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Collector’s Room
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts an imagined interior filled with paintings, framed works, and decorative forms arranged within a richly abstracted room, executed in oil onto board.

The composition feels like an artist’s studio or collector’s salon, where artworks lean against walls and hang in layered succession, creating a maze of colour, shape, and visual conversation.

Painted in a bold abstract-modernist style, the work reduces the interior into interlocking geometric forms and flattened planes of colour. Architectural structure and decorative detail merge together, giving the scene an almost dreamlike spatial quality while still clearly suggesting walls, frames, canvases, and displayed artworks.

The palette is vibrant and expressive, dominated by vivid sky blues and warm burnt oranges, balanced with soft cream, deep black, plum purple, olive green, and flashes of yellow. These contrasting tones create both warmth and movement throughout the composition, while the lighter central forms draw the eye inward like illuminated canvases within the room.

The brushwork is energetic and textural, with layered matte paint, gestural outlines, and visible directional strokes adding depth and rhythm to the surface. Loose scratch-like marks and painterly edges give the work a lively, spontaneous quality.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a white inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some marks to inner white frame.

Cliffside by the Sea
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet coastal settlement perched along a pale, windswept cliff, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of modest houses with whitewashed walls topped with muted red and charcoal roofs rests gently against a backdrop of dense, dark green foliage. To the left, a sliver of calm turquoise sea meets a soft, expansive sky, creating a sense of openness and air. Sparse, linear elements – possibly masts or fishing lines – punctuate the scene, hinting at a working coastal life without disrupting its stillness.

Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition leans into simplicity and atmosphere over detail. The artist has employed a subdued, harmonious palette: chalky creams and sandy beiges for the cliff, cool blue-greys for the sky, and deep greens to anchor the horizon. Accents of rust red and black add structure and rhythm across the rooftops and linear elements.

Brushstrokes are confident and textural, applied with thick brush, giving the surface a tactile quality. The paint is layered in soft, angular planes, with visible strokes that suggest form rather than define it precisely. The result is a composition that feels both grounded and airy, capturing a fleeting moment of coastal quiet with elegance and restraint.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting has small areas of craquelure visible on the left-hand side of the sky, otherwise it is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

Cliffside Houses
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A calm mid-century painting that captures a row of coastal houses perched along a gently sloping bluff, executed in oil onto canvas.

The angular rooftops of the homes step rhythmically across the incline as the land falls away toward a calm, uninterrupted band of sea on the horizon. There’s a quiet sense of stillness here – no figures, no movement – just the presence of these structures holding their place against the elements, evoking the calm solitude of a seaside village.

Rendered in a modernist style with a subtle lean toward abstraction, the composition simplifies form while preserving a strong architectural narrative. The perspective feels slightly flattened, allowing the houses, hillside, and sky to merge into a cohesive, almost dreamlike plane. A restrained and harmonious palette anchors the scene: chalky whites and soft creams dominate the hillside and facades, offset by deeper blacks and browns in the rooftops, while a pale grey-blue sky creates a gentle, atmospheric backdrop. The sea introduces a cooler, more saturated blue, balanced by delicate touches of brown and faint peach that lend warmth and depth.

The brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, painterly strokes shape the hillside with a textured, almost windswept quality, while the buildings are defined with more deliberate, slightly firmer gestures. Fine linear mark – suggesting fishing poles – bring a light, sketch-like energy that contrasts with the heavier, more tactile application of paint below, adding a sense of quiet movement within an otherwise serene composition.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Cottages by Quiet Water
£460
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle mid-century scene that unfolds along a modest shoreline, where a row of whitewashed cottages sits quietly beneath soft autumnal trees, and executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, three small wooden boats rest at ease on still water, their forms mirrored in loose, shimmering reflections. A pair of figures stand near the dock, adding a subtle narrative of companionship and scale to the composition.

The style leans toward a restrained impressionism, with a focus on atmosphere over detail. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, allowing the overall harmony of the scene to take precedence. The palette is beautifully muted: creamy whites, dusty pinks, warm browns, and gentle blues – evoking a calm, almost nostalgic mood. The sky is handled with delicate tonal variation, suggesting the fading light of late afternoon or early evening.

Brushstrokes are confident yet unforced, applied with a light touch that gives the painting its airy quality. The water is rendered with loose, horizontal strokes, capturing reflection rather than precision, while the cottages and boats are built up with slightly thicker, more defined marks.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with a rich honey-toned finish, as well as an gilt and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

Fading Light
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A moody and atmospheric mid-century painting that captures a quiet landscape the edge of twilight, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of darkened farm buildings with angular rooftops sit silhouetted against a low, glowing horizon. The land in the foreground feels scarce.

The style is expressive, and form is simplified but atmosphere is deeply felt. The artist prioritises mood over detail, allowing the composition to breathe through shadow and contrast rather than precision.

The colour palette is restrained yet powerful: deep charcoals, smoky greys, and earthy umbers dominate, punctuated by a striking band of warm yellow along the horizon. Subtle hints of burnt red and rust flicker through the foreground, adding depth and a quiet intensity.

Brushwork is confident and textural, with visible, slightly impasto strokes that give the land a tactile, almost rugged quality. The buildings are rendered with looser, broader strokes, allowing their silhouettes to emerge organically from the surrounding darkness. The sky is softly blended, creating a gentle transition that enhances the painting’s atmospheric tension.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant and well-suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Silent Companions
£895
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quiet arresting mid-century modernist figurative painting, 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.

This composition presents two elongated female figures standing side by side, their presence both grounded and ethereal. The subjects are reduced to essential forms – tall, cloaked silhouettes with simplified faces – imbuing them with a sense of introspection and quiet detachment. They appear suspended within a flattened architectural space, where block-like shapes behind them suggest walls or structures without anchoring the scene to any specific place, enhancing the painting’s contemplative quality.

Executed in a restrained, earthy palette, the work leans into deep umbers, warm browns, and soft taupes, punctuated subtly by a muted ochre accent that draws the eye without disrupting the overall harmony. The brushwork is deliberate yet understated – thinly layered with a matte finish – allowing the texture of the surface to gently come through. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the figures a quiet stillness, while the broad, flat application of paint reinforces the modernist sensibility of reduction and form.

There is a poetic tension between presence and absence here: the figures are undeniably central, yet emotionally distant, inviting the viewer to project their own narrative. The overall effect is one of calm restraint and introspective beauty – an elegant example of mid-century abstraction meeting figuration in its most distilled form.

This oil on canvas is present softly toned linen lined wood frame with a stepped, layered profile that creates gentle depth and guides the eye inward toward the composition. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Quiet Whisper of Trees
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a pared-back scene defined by restraint and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two slender trees rise gently from an open, muted expanse, their forms softened and slightly blurred as though caught in a passing breeze or remembered at a distance. Behind them, a low, undulating horizon stretches quietly across the composition, anchoring the scene with a subtle sense of depth.

The artist has used a minimal, almost abstracted approach: foreground and background dissolve into one another through thin washes and softly layered tones. The palette is beautifully subdued, composed of warm taupes, soft greys, and pale stone hues, punctuated by a sweep of dark blue along the distant ridge. This restrained colour story enhances the painting’s calm, meditative quality.

Brushwork is loose and expressive, with feathery, gestural strokes defining the foliage and more fluid, diluted applications across the ground. The surface reveals moments of transparency where the canvas breathes through, adding to the sense of lightness and quiet openness.

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

Size: 45.5 x 45.5 cm (including frame)

Chasing After the Wind
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

This evocative abstract seascape captures the raw energy and movement of a rugged coastline in shifting weather. Painted in layered tones of deep indigo, slate blue, charcoal and soft whites, the composition suggests waves surging and breaking over dark rocks beneath a vast, unsettled sky.

Rather than describing the scene in literal detail, Frances distils the landscape into sweeping brushstrokes and expressive marks. Broad, gestural strokes create a sense of constant motion, as if wind and water are reshaping the shoreline before our eyes. The interplay of light and dark conveys the dramatic contrast between the foaming sea and the solid, enduring presence of the rocks.

There is a wonderful sense of atmosphere in the painting. Pale creams and misty whites open up the sky, allowing light to filter through the clouds, while the rich blues and greys below evoke the weight and power of the ocean. The result is both dramatic and meditative, capturing that familiar coastal feeling where nature feels untamed, yet deeply calming.

Though abstract in style, the work remains strongly connected to the natural world, inviting the viewer to imagine crashing waves, shifting weather and the rhythmic pulse of the sea. It is a piece that rewards repeated viewing, with new details and emotional nuances emerging over time.

Elegant and atmospheric, this painting would bring a sense of depth, movement and tranquillity to any interior, making it an ideal choice for those drawn to coastal landscapes and expressive contemporary abstraction.

The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made Trescoll slab frame, which allows you to see the edges of the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking.

A Moment to Read
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure absorbed in reading, positioned beside a softly lit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

The setting feels intimate and introspective – books are stacked and scattered across a desk and nearby surfaces. The figure’s posture, slightly bowed over the book, conveys a sense of stillness and focus.

Rendered in a distinctly expressive, modernist style, the composition leans toward abstraction without losing its figurative anchor. The artist simplifies the figure’s facial features, allowing gesture and stance to carry emotional weight. There is a subtle tension between structure and looseness – forms are blocked in with confidence, yet edges dissolve and shift, lending the scene a fleeting quality.

The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep charcoals, and mossy greens, punctuated by passages of pale blue and a warm, luminous yellow from the window light. This interplay of cool and warm tones creates depth and atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the glowing interior light source.

Brushstrokes are tactile and deliberate: thick, painterly applications of oil give the surface a textured, almost sculptural quality. The handling is direct and unrefined in places, with visible strokes that trace the artist’s hand, reinforcing the immediacy and emotional sincerity of the work.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful champagne coloured wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Dream Reflex
£1,150
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and compelling evocative 1987 figurative interior painting that captures a contemplative moment shared between three figures set within a softly abstracted studio environment, by Finnish postwar artist Marjatta Sarasalo (1930 – 2006).

Sarasalo’s paintings have a very distinctive style, which incorporate line drawings of figures on very textured backgrounds as seen in this piece. Here’s the bodies have been rendered in a delicate, linear style – each figure outlined with expressive black contour lines against a textured, ochre-toned ground.

Their poses are relaxed yet poised: one sits cross-legged in profile, another stands beside her, while the third looms gently in the background, creating a rhythm of human presence that feels both classical and modern.

Executed with a refined palette of warm sand, muted green, pale rose, and chalky white, the composition is harmonised by vertical bands of colour that frame and anchor the figures, suggesting architectural planes or light filtering through curtains. The layered surface – built up with dry, rough brushstrokes and subtle scumbling—imbues the work with a tactile, fresco-like quality.

The painting’s quiet grandeur and subdued palette speak to a modernist sensitivity, where figuration, abstraction, and texture merge in serene dialogue.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick to its left edge but is in good condition overall.

Figure in Constructed Room
£1,085
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very striking mid-century modern composition that presents a pared-back interior scene distilled into bold geometry and quiet symbolism, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957 by the estalished Swedish artist Bertil Berntsson (1921-2002), whose works have been exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm, Ystad Art Museum, Malmö Museum, and the Helsingborg City Museum, to name a few.

At the centre stands a simplified elongated female figure that has been rendered with minimal contour yet carrying a strong, sculptural presence. Beside her, a cylindrical vessel or drum-like form anchors the composition, its solidity contrasting with the openness of the surrounding space.

The setting is constructed through intersecting planes and architectural lines, suggesting walls, windows, or partitions without fully resolving into a literal interior. This ambiguity lends the work a contemplative quality – where figure and object coexist in a suspended, silent dialogue.

Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modernist influences, drawing on elements of abstraction and cubist structure. Thick, deliberate black outlines define the forms, creating a graphic framework that flattens perspective while guiding the eye across the composition. The restrained palette features soft creams, muted greys, and a gentle teal-blue panel, balanced by deeper blacks and earthy browns. These colours are applied in broad, even fields, with subtle tonal shifts that add depth without disrupting the overall calm.

The brushwork is confident, largely smooth and controlled, with occasional visible strokes and dry-brush textures that lend a tactile quality to the surface. The result is a harmonious interplay between line, form, and colour.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame that complements the earthy palette of the work. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 41.5 x 56.5 cm (including frame)
