  • Misty Winter

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A subtle and sombre composition of a forest landscape, executed in oil in 1962.

    The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a vast snow-covered landscape filled with trees, as they fade into the distance.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette; and together with the use of very fine and light brushstrokes – he has skillfully managed to create a lovely soft and misty effect, as well as a visual calm and stillness throughout the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning ornate frame that pairs perfectly with it. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Tempest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons.  The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Beach

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A gorgeous coastal scape featuring 2 boats left ashore, amidst luscious plants by a secluded beach.

    The artist has used a light and muted colour palette; and what is most striking is the visible and energetic brushstrokes that have been executed with so much confidence and certainty in directional flow to give rise to the various forms.

    The painting is framed in a unique and characterful wood and gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The grain of the wood frame has purposefully been left exposed under the gilt coating, adding a wonderful effect.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Nuns

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely mid-century oil painting featuring a group of nuns walking through an alleyway between buildings, painted in 1955.

    Leaning towards abstraction, the artist has flattened and simplified the forms, reducing them down to planes of contrasting colour. Clearly working with a modernist ethos in mind, he has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and has played with shape, line, colour and form to create a sense of depth and space.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with visible grain and an inner fabric lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cubist Tulips

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunningly executed mid century floral still life, painted in oil in a cubist manner. The artist has flattened all the elements, breaking the objects down into distinct planes of colour, where angular forms merge together to give the illusion of depth and three dimensional form. A rich and vibrant colour palette has been used to create this very striking painting.

    This unfussy but brilliantly executed cubist still life is housed in its original mid century light wood frame with an inner linen lined border, which suits the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Shapes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century oil painting shows distinct elements of cubist influences:  what appears to possibly be fishing nets drying along the coast have been reduced to simplified coloured shapes from different angles, resulting in a picture that appears fragmented and abstracted. Following the cubist ethos, the artist has broken down the landscape and the objects within it down into distinct areas, or planes. This has emphasised the two dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of realistic depth.

    This oil painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that brings out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Bright Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A luminous and vibrant floral still life rendered in pastel.  In this picture, we see a mix of flowers including blue and orange cornflowers, white daisies and red lilies, all set against lush long green leaves. On either side of the vase sit an orange and a bunch grapes. The artist has used the medium of pastel to achieve a wonderfully luscious and velvety texture in the floral picture, while imbuing it with a distinct expressiveness and luminosity. The textural effect of the pastel medium gives this painting wonderful depth and three dimensionality.

    The pastel is housed in a fantastic deep gilt and red frame. The pastel is protected behind thick glass. Pastels never crack, yellow or darken over time and when protected behind glass, its vibrancy and richness lasts for centuries.

  • Asters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This sweet still life of blue and yellow asters in vase is full of texture and character. The artist has used a palette knife to thickly apply the paint, creating a composition full of depth and dynamism. The painting and its frame have a quaint country vibe, and its imperfections give it a rustic look that add to its charm.

    The painting is fixed to its original mount and frame, which dates to the mid 20th century. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some areas of wear and loss but this does not detract from the painting, and if anything adds to its vintage charm.

  • Blue Soul

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This stunning mid century abstract in oil is not only a celebration of colour, but an excellent example of how simplicity can be magnetic.

    With an under layer of tiffany blue  and an over layer of ultra marine, the artist has used the richness and luminosity of these shades of blue to draw us in.  The painting invites us to pay rigorous attention to colour, as our eyes soak up its richness. Reminiscent of the iconic colour field paintings of Mark Rothko, its saturated colour glows meditatively and asks for our complete absorption.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame which enhances its mid century feel. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Boat Boy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and elegant oil painting of a young boy with his toy sailboat. Painted in broad and expressive brushstrokes, we can only just discern the main elements of the background which have been split into 3 main sections. The painting has a distinct feel of nostalgia; the way the background has been blurred out is similar to our memories of particular events. Here the moment in focus is of the boy playing with his boat – happy memories of days of youth. There is a wonderful sense of balance and harmony in this picture, the warm yellow and brown tones of the boat and the boys clothes are echoed in the sections of the background, and again in the frame of the picture.

    The artwork is housed in an elegant dark wood frame with a inner gilded border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Farm Stay

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vivid and expressive picturesque landscape painting of a farm setting within lush greenery, executed in oil in 1962.

    With its rich colour palette and energetic brushstrokes, this painting explores the expressive qualities of brushwork and colour.

    Bold and saturated shades of green, brown and blue fill the canvas, imbuing the painting with a lively feel.

    The artist has outlined the respective forms with thick darker lines that further accentuate their three-dimensionality; and the short, urgent and bold brushstrokes that have been executed in an invigorating and confident manner add a wonderful energetic as well as textural feel to the painting.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame that has some minor scuffs but it fits well with its overall rustic character.

  • Forest after Rain

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic abstract landscape, painted in oil onto canvas. This expressive painting beautifully and effectively captures the ‘essence’ of a wooded landscape. The artist has chosen not to paint in realistic details, and instead chooses to convey the feel of walking through the woods on what seems to be a rainy day. He has captured the life and dynamism of the natural landscape – his quick and expressive brushstrokes create a hazy, blurry feel, capturing the effect of wind and rain on the trees, bushes and ground.

    The painting is housed in a painted gilt frame, which suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses around its edges, but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the picture, and if anything adds to its character.

  • Modernist Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically modernist mid century portrait of a man, painted in oil onto canvas. Reminiscent of the colourist works of the Fauvist painter Henri Matisse,  this painting emphasises flattened and simplified forms, as well as expressive and non naturalistic colours. Planes of bright, contrasting colour have almost been ‘arranged’ on the canvas like a puzzle, creating the portrait that we see. This striking modernist portrait would make a real statement in any interior, but would also fit in with a ‘gallery wall’ style hang wonderfully.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a bronze inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Lemons

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed mid 20th century oil still life composition, depicting 2 lemons, a block of butter, and a jug sitting atop a lovely pink surface.

    Blocks of contrasting colours dominate the painting; as the artist has used a restrained palette comprising varying shades of yellow, pink, and beige to make up this stunning composition.

    As appealing as the simplicity in colours and forms are in this piece, the use of expressive and energetic brushstrokes confidently executed in differing directions adds even more character to the painting overall.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a classic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunshine Road

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully executed and framed mid century landscape scene, painted in oil on to canvas.

    The artist has mastered his medium (oil), applying layers of colour that are luminous and fluid.  There is a distinct sense of playfulness here, where non naturalistic colours have given the landscape scene life, vibrancy and expression. We are able to analyse the application of the paint, layer by layer, giving us a glimpse into the artist’s process.

    The painting is very uniquely framed in its original mid century frame, which has a lovely wide profile. The outer and inner gilt windows are separated by a beautiful deep blue fabric lined border. The frame complements the painting wonderfully and really makes it stand out.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it does not detract from the attractiveness of the painting.

  • Autumn Street

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A dynamic mid century oil of an autumnal scene painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used large, expressive, multi-directional brushstrokes in a vibrant range of non-naturalistic colours to create the composition we see before us. Set under a blue and white sky with streaks of red, we see a row of houses surrounded by autumnal coloured trees. The artist has focused on the shape, form and line, intentionally leaving out realistic details. For example,  the trees have been paired down to brushstrokes of orange, red, yellow and brown, and no individual leaves can be seen. Flattened blocks of colours and thick bold lines have been used to create to a sense of space within the picture.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous mid century wood frame with visible grain, and both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Forest Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and emotive mid-century oil landscape painting, that contains elements of fauvism and abstraction.

    In this forest town, rows of houses are presented in the midst of lush greenery; and we can see 2 figures taking a stroll in the foreground.

    The painting not only highlights the artistic beauty of colour and brushstroke, but also acts as a projection of the artist’s inner emotional state.

    There is an explosion of colours in the canvas – with bold and vibrant shades of green, blue, red and yellow dominating and imbuing the painting with liveliness.

    There is also a gestural application of paint – where swift and unrestrained brushstrokes have been executed to create the various forms, adding dynamism to the work.

    This oil on canvas is house in a lovely gilt frame with red undertones. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sorrow

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotional vintage nude oil portrait, painted in 1948. This mid century oil on board is a raw yet beautiful depiction of sadness and sorrow. A sole nude female figure sits with her head between her knees, with nothing around her except for the green stool she is seated on. Her face is concealed by her arm, adding to the idea that  sadness is a human condition experienced by many, and a reminder that we are not alone when we feel fragile or negative

    The painting is housed in a distressed gilt frame with an inner white window, which suits the painting very well. The painting has areas of paint loss and flaking (perhaps an uncanny reflection of the fragility and vulnerability of the portrait in the painting).

  • The Chalet

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century fauvist style oil, painted in 1950. Reminiscent of works by artists such as Matisse, this painting emphasises flattened forms, intense colourism, and decorative pattern. Painterly qualities, fierce brushwork and strong colour have been favoured over representation or realistic values. Beyond the skilful execution, this painting has a wonderful playful feel to it. It would make a striking statement piece in any interior. The childlike nature of the colours could also make it very suitable for a child’s room or a nursery.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Lantern

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and typically modernist oil still life, painted onto board. The artist has used swathes of expressive brushstrokes and thick bold outlines in this composition. The background is indistinct, with flat planes of colour used to create a sense of depth. A yellow lantern sits in the centre of the composition, and a potted plant to the right. There is certainly an element of abstraction in this picture, with the artist focusing on forms, lines and shapes instead of realistic details to create this still life.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame, with an inner fabric lined border. The painting has a small area of surface paint loss to the upper right corner, and some light surface marks overall (as shown in photos), but these do not detract from its overall attractiveness and if anything adds to its vintage charm. The frame has some minor areas of discolouration and scuffs but again this is typical for its age.

  • Boat Trip

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and energetic modernist style seascape, rendered in oil in 1958.

    On this pleasant day, 2 boats are docked by the harbour and seagulls are flying above in the cloudy blue sky.

    The artist not only displays a deep understanding of colour, but also shows off his artistic talents by using differing brushstroke styles.

    The background of the painting is composed of impressionist-like qualities – where swift and uncontrolled brushstrokes have been used to depict the cloudy sky – with the intention to capture the fleeting and atmospheric conditions of that moment in time. As our eyes shift down to the middle and foreground of the painting, we can notice a transition in style – where short, straight and visible brushstrokes in a plethora of contrasting pastel colour shades have been used to render this overall stunning composition.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a lovely light oak grainy frame with a linen lining, which pairs perfectly well with the work, making it stand out. There is minor ageing to the frame which is commensurate with its age.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor surface scuffs to its edges (as seen on photos), which are typical for a mid century frame of this age.

  • La Femme

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and visually striking modernist style portrait of a female figure, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.

    This well-balanced portrait comprises both soft and rich pastel shades of blue, purple and beige, evoking both a gentle yet lively touch feel to the painting.

    Upon closer inspection of the canvas, we can see that the layering technique has been used as deep layers of contrasting colours have been applied over one another in a swift yet precise manner to form this beautiful composition.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique fervently, creating a visual feast for the eyes as thick and creamy layers of paint stand proud and form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a thin wood frame. There are some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of the paint, but the paint layer is in very stable condition overall.

  • Ascend

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An elegant and brilliantly executed mid 20th century oil landscape presenting hidden views of a port, that contains elements of abstraction and minimalism.

    A hill is depicted In the foreground filling half of the canvas diagonally, allowing the viewer to see only a partial view of the ocean as well as a row of boats and houses behind it.

    The painting contains a range of gentle and soft neutral colours of beige and sage, that gives off almost a dreamy sense, and imbues the works with calm and tranquility.

    Broad swatches of painterly and expressive multi-directional brushstrokes have been used to paint the background and foreground, whereas fine thin lines have been used to paint the sail of the boats.

    Displaying an excellent use of colours and brushstrokes, the painting’s overall soft and minimalistic feel makes it an easy piece to fit into many interior settings.

  • A Bond

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An endearing portrait of a mother braiding her child’s hair in a home setting.

    The frame of this work – a white canvas surrounded by inner and outer gold windows – pairs perfectly with this piece, as it acts like an open door, allowing viewers to peer inside a room, and witness this loving scene. Both mother and daughter’s gaze are not facing the viewer, and they are happily engaging their own conversation and activity, caught unaware.

    At first glance, this artwork may appear simple to one’s eye. However upon further observation, what is so remarkable is the intricate detailing of the plethora of colours used in every form in this painting – from the colourful rug, the mother’s skirt, to the child’s hair and even the walls.

    Another key component is the setting of this scene that allows one to get a good perspective into this home. We are presented with a view of a living room; and the open door in the background gives us a glimpse of a kitchen. Furthermore, there are many beautiful objects all around painted so very finely and carefully – including a lamp sat on a table top and placed beside a painting (which we are given a small view of), a pot and a kettle, and a coat hung up.

    This 20th century oil on panel is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Drift

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and expressive mid-century abstract painting, rendered in oil.

    A restrained palette of warm and rich earthy and naturalistic tones of green and yellow fill the canvas – transitioning so seamlessly as well as enriching the painting with a calming and soothing aesthetic.

    Despite its abstract nature, the colour palette and composition of this stunning work could allude to the natural landscape of grassy sand dunes on a beach.

    The artist has used long sweeping lightly-textured brushstrokes that not only lend a dynamic touch to the work, but also resembles movement brought forth by the forces of nature including currents or wind.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary grainy wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Golden Light

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and beautifully textured mid century oil, painted onto canvas. This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features thick, bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible). That being said, the artist has managed to strike a find balance between an emotional response and capturing the scene before him and how it looked. The combination of the texture and colouring of this painting makes it a stand out piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey frame, and an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
