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.

This Ground I’ve Walked, I’ve Walked Before (Very Large)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Sold

An expressive mid-century figurative composition, executed in gouache onto board and dated 1965.

The composition features two elongated figures facing each other, their forms simplified to emphasise symmetry. Both figures are painted in deep shades of red and earthy browns, contrasting with the muted grey and cream background. Above each figure’s head floats a red circular shape.

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.

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.

The Library

Sold

SOLD

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.

This large oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame painted black. The painting and frame have some marks and imperfections as shown in close ups.

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.

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.

Blue Tableware

Sold

SOLD

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

The scene is set in a dimly lit interior that exudes a moody feel. The backdrop is a shadowy blend of dark brown and dark green blocks of colours. In the foreground, a table emerges, revealing a well-arranged array of still life.

On the table, a selection of blue-toned objects commands our attention. A blue plate and a blue bowl sit gracefully between a spoon and a fruit, its smooth surfaces catching the faint light. A blue pitcher stands tall and is partially illuminated.

The artist’s use of colour gradient is masterful, emphasising the three-dimensional qualities of the objects. The dark and muted palette, combined with smooth brushstrokes, creates a sense of calm and introspection, as if capturing a quiet moment at night.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wood frame with silver windows, that pairs very well with the painting. The painting has some scattered craquelure present but the paint layer is stable overall.

Size: 68 x 81 cm (including frame)
