A really striking abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1995.
The artist has used broad, expressive and gestural brushwork to depict this composition, using a colour palette that captures the very essence of the cold icy landscape of winter. There is a palpable sense of movement and rhythm within the work – we can imagine the artist’s hand working back and forth, creating a myriad of marks and strokes on the paper. The colours used are also fascinating to explore – as we look closely at the work, a multitude of colours that appear through the layers of paint begin to show themselves.
This oil is protected behind glass and as such, getting close up photos of the textures and depth proved tricky. The painting has wonderful areas of impasto (where the paint is applied so thickly that it stands proud from the surface), and a whole range of textural details.
This oil is housed in a white frame and is protected behind glass. Please not that some reflection of the glass is evident in the photographs. The painting has a very small area of surface paint loss when viewed close up, but due to the expressive style and colours of the piece this loss is not very noticeable. It is otherwise in a good and stable condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

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: 40 x 43 cm (including frame)

A brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life composition, painted in oil and dated 1954.
Featuring a wine bottle on a table top, the artist has flattened all the elements and has reconstructed this painting in an abstract manner through the use of distinct blocks of warm earthy colours as well as expressive brushstrokes.
Contrasting rich shades of brown, yellow and blue fill the canvas, and the use of broad painterly multi-directional brushstrokes adds a wonderful texture and gives the illusion of depth to the painting.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age). Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. This painting is housed in a wooden frame that has a small chip at the bottom (as shown in the images).

A tenderly executed scene of 4 figures by townhouses, painted in oil onto board.
This mid century painting depicts three seated figures in the midst of sewing some white frabric, their backs against a white walled townhouse. A separate female figure holding a basket is also seen to the left of the composition.
The artist has left out any facial details, choosing instead to focus on the shapes, lines and forms of them. Expressive brushstrokes in non-representative colours have been applied to the canvas, creating this well balanced and very striking street scene.
There is something very restful about this piece, capturing the quiet life of a rural village and the daily activities of the people.
The painting is housed in a dark wood and gilt frame, and is in very good vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to the frame that certainly do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A brilliantly executed, pensive mid century modernist still life in oil, painted in 1935.
Textured, expressionist brushstrokes fill the canvas, capturing a soft light that enters this interior scene. We see two paintbrushes sitting quietly in a ceramic jug on a table, with a window behind it to its right. The artist has beautifully captured the scene – the paintbrushes have seen a day’s work, with remnants of their paint still evident on their tips. The artist has taken these simple objects as his subject, and has shown us how delicate and poignant his tools are to him.
This wonderful painting is housed in a robust frame which suits it very well. The oil painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs.

A very pleasing and well executed mid century river & city scape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
The painting has a beautifully gentle feel to it – the artist has used mostly soft colours in a pastel palette, with the exception of darker colours for the wood structures within the scene. The artist has successfully conveyed the softness of fresh snow that has covered the landscape. The cityscape of Stockholm under a pastel sky lines the back of the composition, while in the foreground we see a boat docked on the river Söderström. In the foreground, the artist has used richer, darker colours contrasted with the white snow to give our eyes a focus, and then lightening as we move further back into the composition. The movement of the brushwork is also interesting to notice, with areas of more distinct horizontal and vertical strokes contrasting against other areas with shorter, swifter strokes.
The painting is housed in a beautifully rustic wood frame with an inner gilt border, as well as a cream coloured slip. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The inner border of the frame has some marks, as shown in the photos.

A small and very well painted mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.
The artist has worked in a distinctly modernist style, using flattened blocks and shapes in contrasting colours in a layered effect to build up space and depth. He has used a rich and earthy colour palette that gives this painting its very ‘homely’ and ‘country’ feel. The composition is very well balanced, and there is a very satisfying sense of harmony (both in terms of structure as well as colour) that makes this painting very appealing to look at it.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it perfectly. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing to its edges, as shown.

A wintry town landscape painted in a typical modernist style. Expressionist brushstrokes have been applied swiftly and with vigour in non naturalistic colours. We get a sense of the artist’s subjective perspective and the mood he/she was trying to convey, rather than a realistic depiction of the town landscape. Two figures feature in the lower section of the picture, and we can imagine them walking through the cold, crisp air.
The painting is housed in a very elegant dark wood frame with an inner gilt window with a deep profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and striking mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.
This vintage oil features large swatches of black and brown forms, with interesting pink, green and orange detailing. The ‘negative space’ surrounding the forms have been painted in a light blue / lilac colour. The combination of forms and shapes on the surface create a very well balanced composition which is very satisfying to look at it.
The painting is housed in a mid century black painted frame which has a painted inner linen lined border. The painting is in good condition. The frame has some general wear included scattered paint losses and scuffs. The painting can be hung as is for a ‘shabby chic’ look, or could be reframed for a modern look.

A large and brilliantly executed mid century landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.
There is a striking contrast between the top half and the bottom half of the composition, which makes this painting very interesting to admire. To the top half of the composition we have much shorter, softer brushwork, which give us a sense of the light movement and airiness of the sky. Punctuating the composition just off centre, is a standing tree, giving our eyes a point of rest, before we work our way downwards to the bottom of the composition. To the lower half, we see the use of much stronger, bolder colours as well as thicker and more textured paint application. Rather than painting the field realistically, the artist has reduced the details down to abstracted forms – planes and brushstrokes of earthy colours that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, successfully giving this painting its sense of space and depth.
The excellent landscape painting is housed in a stunning gilt frame. The paintings is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs commensurate with age, which certainly do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

An expressive and emotive vintage modernist painting, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.
Painted in thin and fluid unconstrained brushstrokes, we can discern 3 boys standing at a crossroad, seemingly in conversation.
With a limited yet distinctive palette of warm brown-yellow and blueish tones, this oil painting has an almost sepia-like effect of a photograph, and together with its sketch-like appearance and blurred out background, the work has a distinct feel of nostalgia and is reminiscent of a memory.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with visible wood grain. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The photos have been taken under natural light, which has caused some areas of glare in the photos – these areas may appear ‘faded’ in the photos but this is not the case in real life – the painting is very evenly painted and has no areas of fading.

A rich and vivid mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.
Various objects sit on a drop leaf table, including two bottles, a pot of onions, a basket of vegetables, and two apples. This well balanced vertical composition features a rich and deep colour palette, as well as expressive brushwork that is remiscnent of painters like Paul Cezanne.
The painting is housed in a very well suited light wood frame. The painting has some very small areas of paint loss, as shown in the close up photos. This paint loss doesn’t detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece and is in keeping with its vintage look.
Please note that the photographs of the painting were taken under natural light and due to the dark colours of the paint, there is some glare evident in the photos.

A simple but very effective mid century still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
Depicted here are 4 pots painted in a rich, earthy colour palette. The artist has used expressive and textured brushstrokes, and has used the juxtaposition of light and dark tones to create a sense of depth and three dimensionality. The pots have been painted close up – their bodies filling the majority of the canvas. There is a wonderful harmony and balance to the composition overall.
The painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that is very well crafted and shows off the grain of the wood. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

A beautifully executed mid century landscape composition in oil, painted in 1946.
Here the artist has worked in a post impressionist style, emphasising symbolic content, formal order and structure. Using non naturalistic colours to paint the landscape before him, the artist has used colour to incorporate an emotional and aesthetic response. The artist has also emphasised the paint on the surface of the canvas, flattening the sense of perspective through a lack of tonal modelling, and using planes and blocks of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame that enhances the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very calming and restful mid century coastal composition in oil, painted onto board.
Using soft, subtle colours for most of the composition, this soothing coastal landscape depicts a sandy beach with a wooded landscape to the right and blue waters to the left. A green bush to the right punctuates the composition and gives our eyes a focal point to rest on. Two white lines that indicate a path lead our eyes far into the distance, giving us a wonderful sense of the expansiveness of the coastalscape, transporting our minds far away to this restful place. Long, expressive brushwork creates this well balanced composition which has been cleverly split into two angled halves.
The painting is housed a beautiful wide profile gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The painting has some very minor scuffing which does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A rather skilfully executed mid century still life in oil, painted onto board.
Here we have a very balanced and visually pleasing composition of a vessel with fruit in front of it, including berries, figs and squash. Wide and expressive brushstrokes fill the canvas, giving this composition its vigour and dynamism. Despite the style of the painting being expressive rather than realistic, the composition very skilfully still conveys great detail – we get a palpable sense of the ripeness of the round berries and the cold, hard texture of the ceramic vessel.
There is a timelessness to this picture that would make it an easy fit in most interiors. The painting is housed in a silver frame which complements it well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good condition overall.

A long and picturesque mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.
Using a restricted palette of earthy colours, the artist has painted this rural landscape in an expressive style. Short vertical brushwork is visible over the landscape area, giving this painting a wonderful textural effect. The artist has used contrasting colours and layering to create a sense of depth and space within the picture.
The painting has a very restful feel to it, and would be a very calming and soothing addition to any interior.

A vibrant and vivid modernist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.
A group of rosy apples sit on a white plat, set against a cerulean blue background to the top half, and darker greenish-blue to the bottom half of the composition. The pink and yellow of the apples stand out beautifully against the blue, and the artist has captured the light on them skilfully. A diluted layer of paint has been applied to the composition, and the artist has let it naturally move down the painting, creating a drip effect that is most visible along the bottom edge of the composition. This intriguing effect is gives the painting an added layer of texture and depth which makes it very satisfying to look at. The artist is intentionally reminding us that this picture in front of us is indeed a painting, and that we are to notice the materiality of the paint itself.
The painting is housed in a silver painted wood frame which suits it well and illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A very well executed mid century coastalscape composition in oil, painted in 1948.
Painted with broad, expressive brushwork in a semi abstract manner, this composition has a very distinctive feature – its red beach. Although the location is not specified, it could quite possibly be a depiction of the red sand beach in Santorini in Greece. The artist has used a deep and rich colour palette, with strokes that convey the ruggedness and vigour of the coastline. The area of red punctuates the centre of the composition, creating a focal point for the viewer’s eye. As we shift our focus to the right, we begin to notice the layering and blending of all the various colours that the artist has used. The composition seems to go on far into the horizon, capturing the expanse of the natural landscape.
The painting is housed in a stunning wood frame with visible grain, and with an inner and outer gilt window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed mid century street scene composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
Reminiscent of the modern British painter L.S. Lowry, this painting also features an urban landscape peopled with small stylised human figures to the right side. The artist has used a restricted colour palette, using repeated but juxtaposed colours of cream, orange, grey and green. The forms have been flattened and the scene of buildings has been reduced down to large plans of colour. Interestingly, the artist has left details of the substrate (the canvas) showing through, which also gives this painting a ‘drawing’ or ‘illustration’ like effect.
The painting is housed in a very complementary wood frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The linen border has some marks and the frame some scuffing, but none of that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A stunning impressionist style painting that captures a fleeting moment during sunset at a harbour.
As the sun begins to set, its glistening rays have cast a faint glow on the ships and houses at are lined up by the harbour, and the blaze of pink and orange in the sky are slowly fading.
The artist has used short and spontaneous brushstrokes to capture the sunset reflections cast on the river.

A small but compelling mid century abstract, painted in oil onto board.
There is a very satisfying sense of movement and rhythm within the composition, created through sweeping gestural brushstrokes. Areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and so stands proud from the surface) give the painting its texture and depth. The painting is reminiscent of vigorous waves of an ocean, or of a mountain landscape with wind and snow. Either way, there is a palpable feeling of nature and its forces.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a dark wood inner window, and a gilt outer border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
