• Tender Affection

    Tender Affection

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto board 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 composition captures an intimate scene of two figures, likely a mother and child or siblings, portrayed in a semi-abstract style. The figures are rendered with simplified, almost block-like forms, emphasising the connection between them rather than intricate details. One figure, dressed in a deep blue dress, cradles a dark form that resembles a small animal or a toy, while the other, smaller figure, appears to be reaching out or gesturing.

    The painting balances representational elements with a geometric abstraction, and there is a focus is on shape, colour, and form, rather than realistic details.

    The palette is predominantly muted with cool, earthy tones – soft greens, dark blues, deep blacks, and off-whites. The occasional pop of yellow adds warmth and contrast to the composition, highlighting the central figures.

    The artist has used thick, textured brushstrokes, building up areas of layered pigment that give a tactile quality to the painting. The brushwork is bold and expressive, with visible strokes that enhance the raw, unpolished aesthetic. This technique adds depth and movement to the otherwise serene and contemplative scene.

    This oil on board is accentuated by a white painted wood frame with an inner gilt and linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some losses to its gilt edges, but is in very good condition overall.

    Abstract Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD

The artist has used bold black forms scattered across the canvas, which could represent geological formations, shadows, or abstracted land contours.

    Rendered in a striking palette of earthy ochres, deep rusts, and burnt yellows, the warm hues contrast dramatically against the bolder black strokes. The upper section features a pale beige sky, creating a sense of atmospheric openness that enhances the composition’s spatial depth.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very large abstract painting by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, executed in acrylic onto canvas and dated 2024.
    This Ground I’ve Walked, I’ve Walked Before is a reflection of a known landscape for Frances – the distinct yellow fields and green hills of England in summer. The painting has a beautifully composed complimentary poem (see below), which talks about how places stick within your very being. You may walk through places you never have before and yet find and feel a very real connection to the place and it’s steeped history.
    This ground I’ve walked, I’ve walked before. I know it’s oddities, it’s dangling limbs, It’s buried roots, it’s ancient trees. Oak, elder, pine, we are all friends. I breathe it’s forests, eyes closed, hands open. I soak in it’s seas and run down it’s hills. It’s rooted within me, a lived history within every new step. I know this ground, I’ve walked it before.’
    Painted on stretched canvas and with its edges painted in soft yellow, it is beautifully presented in a white tray frame. The painting and the frame are in excellent condition. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    SOLD

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted 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 painting features two abstracted figures depicted in a bold, minimalist, and colorful style. The focus is on shape, colour, and form rather than intricate details, creating a modern, stylized composition.

    Two faceless figures stand close together, occupying the central focus of the composition. Their simplified forms are outlined subtly, emphasizing their relationship through their proximity and body language. The stark contrast between the vibrant figures and the abstract, fragmented background adds depth and visual interest.

    The background consists of dynamic, curved shapes and layered colours, creating a sense of movement and energy. The abstract shapes seem to frame the figures, drawing attention to them while adding an expressive, playful quality.

    The figures appear connected, perhaps siblings or close friends, standing in a moment of quiet companionship. The abstract background and faceless figures lend a sense of mystery, leaving us viewers to interpret the scene and relationship.

    This painting is a bold, modern exploration of human connection through abstraction. The vibrant figures, juxtaposed with the dynamic background, evoke a sense of energy and intimacy. Its simplicity, bright colors, and lack of detail make it a striking and open-ended work, inviting viewers to engage with its emotional undertones and visual rhythm.

    This painting features two abstracted figures, standing close together against a colourful and dynamic background. The composition uses bold colour blocking and simplified forms to convey the scene with an expressive and modernist approach.

    Their poses suggest closeness, with the figure on the right slightly leaning and holding the hand of the other, evoking a sense of connection or companionship. The lack of facial features allows the viewer to focus on the interplay of form and colour, making the figures universal and evocative.

    Above the Rooftops

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large but very restful mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    As a viewer we appear to be standing on a rooftop or balcony, looking out towards the view. We can almost imagine the artist painting the view before him ‘en plein air’, capturing the shapes and forms of the houses and buildings as they weave in and out of each other.. There is great depth to the painting, as the layers of buildings lead our eyes further into the picture. The artist has painted in an expressionist style, with broad and gestural brushstrokes, using a non naturalistic palette. The colours are earthy and subdued, lending a sense of serenity and calm to the picture.

    In Motion

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and wonderfully textured abstract oil composition 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.

    Created with a masterful technique, the artist has skilfully employed broad gestural brushstrokes, applying layers of colours to build up texture and dimension to the work.

    The artwork’s colour palette is dominated by black, white, blue, and hints of red, green, and yellow. Thick layers of paint create a sense of depth, with the black area strategically placed, giving weight to the composition. The surrounding blue and white colours provide a dynamic contrast, creating a well-balanced painting.

    Close to a meter in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

  • Lyrical Abstraction

    Lyrical Abstraction

    Sold

    SOLD

    A 20th century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    This painting is reminiscent of the British Modern artist Peter Lanyon, who painted landscape both from many points of view, many visual perspectives, but also conceptually from different perspectives. Although it is unclear what this particular piece is inspired by (perhaps it not meant to be representative of anything at all!), it is clear that the artist is focused on the rhythm and meeting of forms. We see a mix of both harder and softer forms, built up in layers of colour, where lines and shapes meet and intersect on planes of colour behind it.

    This oil on board is presented in  a wide walnut veneered frame that suits it well. Both the painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some very minor wear to the frame  commensurate with age.

    Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted – only minimalistic shapes and layered contrasting shades, which add depth and intrigue to the scene.

    The painter’s use of soft yet vibrant hues gives the composition a harmonious yet dynamic feeling, drawing attention to the interplay of colour and form.

    The Library

    Sold

    SOLD

    A fantastic mid-century geometric abstract composition titled ‘The Library’, dated 1966 and painted in oil onto board.

    The composition features a meticulous arrangement of rectangular shapes and lines, evoking the structured complexity of a library’s architecture.

    The painting uses a palette of monochrome  tones, such as greys, whites, and browns, punctuated with vibrant pops of colour—reds, yellows, greens, and blues—that add energy to the otherwise subdued composition.

    The work plays with balance and asymmetry, creating a sense of depth and spatial rhythm through its overlapping blocks and grids.

    The precise lines and angles give the piece a dynamic yet controlled appearance, reminiscent of the orderly arrangement of bookshelves.

  • Cubist Harbour

    Cubist Harbour

    Sold

    SOLD

    A visually striking mid-century modernist composition of a harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A body of water occupies the middle ground of the canvas. Lining the water are numerous boats, their forms captured in black silhouettes that stand out against the restrained palette of blues and creams. In the foreground, the water’s edge is populated by shadowy figures of people, their silhouettes painted in the same muted black. The background is dominated by blocks of buildings outlined in bold black lines, further emphasising their structured, almost architectural quality.

    Masterfully containing elements of geometric abstraction and cubism, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the scene down to geometric shapes in contrasting colours to demonstrate a sense of depth and interest to the painting.

    The use of a restrained palette, primarily blues, blacks, with hints of creams, along with the bold outlines and smooth brushstrokes, creates a composition that is both cohesive and dynamic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. There is a light surface mark at the top right section of the painting, as well as a small area of paint loss at the top edge of the painting, as shown in photos. The frame has some age wear and scuffing.

  • Houses at Dusk

    Houses at Dusk

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large moody and atmospheric modernist-style landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    Long and narrow in format, the composition features a pathway that stretches from the foreground into the distance, guiding the eye towards farmhouses in the distance. Beyond the houses, we can get a slight glimpse of a coast, against the soft greyish-blue sky at dusk.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has skilfully deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting colours, to demonstrate a sense of depth and dimension.

    The use of a moody earthy palette imbues the scene with a nostalgic feel, while the swift and expressive brushstrokes add a wonderful textural quality.

    Being narrow and running close to a meter in length, the painting’s size would make it the perfect addition above a bed or sofa.

    This oil on board is housed in an attractive linen-lined frame with multiple windows. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Town Blocks

    Sold

    A large and striking mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has taken a geometric approach this painting, using the forms of the white buildings outlined in black to build depth and perspective. A number of figures can be see in the forefront by a door, painted in striking blues and reds which stand out against the stark white structures. Juxtaposed against the sharped edged rectangular the buildings are curved green mounds that represent bushes or trees.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century interior still life composition executed in oil onto canvas.
