    Winter Skyline

    £630

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A nostalgic and subdued modernist cityscape that captures the quiet hush of a snow-blanketed town beneath a pale winter sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

    The composition presents an elevated perspective over a geometric spread of rooftops, their forms simplified into broad, angular planes. The steeple of a distant monument anchors the skyline, rising into a misty atmosphere that suggests early morning or dusk.

    Rendered in oil, the artist has used a restrained, muted palette dominated by subdued shades of blues, purples, yellows, and reds. The snow is suggested by broad swathes of white and pale grey, while buildings emerge in solid, shadowy blocks, conveying mass and volume without intricate detail. The brushstrokes are confident, reinforcing the architectural rigidity of the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffing present at its lower left corner.

  • Ancient Whispers

    Ancient Whispers

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A surreal and richly symbolic painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting presents an enigmatic architectural interior scene that feels suspended between the past and the surreal. At the lower left lies a creature with piercing blue eyes, emerging and integrated into the patterned textile ground. Scattered elements including a large clay pot, transparent orbs, and an engraved oval tablet evoke archaeological relics, rituals, and memory.

    Rendered in a meticulous, linear texture, the architectural backdrop features soft arches and doorways. The entire composition is enclosed within a dominant arch motif, adding a quiet rhythm and continuity. The colour palette blends warm earth tones – terracotta and sandy neutrals  – offset with accents of blue and silver-grey.

    The brushwork is tight and deliberate, with fine lines etched almost like woven threads, giving the surface a tapestry-like quality. The result is a layered and contemplative piece that blurs the boundaries between memory, myth, and architecture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary frame. The painting has a very small area of paint loss (as shown), but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has minor scuffing.

  • What the Mirror Saw

    What the Mirror Saw

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quietly arresting figurative painting that captures a fleeting, introspective moment seen through a reflection of a mirror, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    A solitary figure stands before the mirror, partially obscured by reflection and shadow, dissolving into the textured surface of the paint. The viewer becomes part of the act of looking, drawn into the layered spatial tension between the real and the reflected.

    The mirror reveals a richly hued interior behind the subject – a warm orange -toned room with a red chair tucked casually to one side – hinting at the domestic life unfolding just beyond view. The cool white wall outside the mirror’s edge contrasts with the golden glow within, creating a striking division between inner and outer worlds.

    Executed in a bold, gestural style, the painting features expressive brushstrokes and texture. The palette balances cool with warmer earthy tones, while the confident abstraction of form imbues the scene with both intimacy and ambiguity.

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

  • Terracotta Coastline

    Terracotta Coastline

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A captivating modernist abstract painting that evokes a coastal village set against a distant sea and seen from an elevated viewpoint, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is built on a series of bold, gestural blocks of colour – burnt orange, yellow verdant green – suggesting terracotta roofs, foliage, and sunlit structures nestled in the hillside.

    The artist has used a distinctly expressive style, using thick, confident brushstrokes that emphasise texture and movement. The top half of the canvas opens into a serene, pale sky and a smooth, luminous band of blue sea, rendered in calm horizontal strokes that contrast with the dynamic geometry below.

    Hints of architectural forms and natural growth are abstracted into vivid planes and swaths of colour, capturing the atmosphere, structure, and vibrancy of a Mediterranean coastal scene. With its interplay of abstraction and suggestion, this work invites the viewer to linger and imagine.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Still Life with Binoculars

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intimate interior still life painting that presents a quiet tableau of everyday objects, rendered in a restrained yet evocative modernist style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    A pair of vintage binoculars and dark-lensed sunglasses rest casually on a softly draped white cloth atop a warm wooden surface. Above the table hangs a minimalist line drawing of a vase, framed within the composition to add visual balance and conceptual layering.

    The artist has used a muted palette of cream, olive, and greyish lavender tones, lending the piece a contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate and refined, with soft gradations in the background that contrast against the sharper, sculptural treatment of the objects. Shadows and textures are subtly modulated, evoking both stillness and presence.

  • Harbour View

    Harbour View

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures an abstracted waterfront scene rendered with bold geometric blocks and restrained tonal contrasts, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The viewer’s perspective is elevated, possibly from a balcony or overpass, looking out across a harbour populated with moored boats and a white ferry gliding through calm waters.

    The artist has used a flattened, semi-cubist approach to space and form, using simplified shapes and thick, deliberate brushstrokes to construct the architecture and landscape. A palette of muted greys, brown, rust, and soft blues evokes an overcast or wintry atmosphere, while the warm orange of the lower rooftops adds grounding contrast.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing.

  • Interaction

    Interaction

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant geometric abstract composition that explores form and interaction, executed in tempera onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting features a dynamic arrangement of amoebic shapes in overlapping layers. The subject matter is intentionally non-representational, evoking the energy of human presence or social exchange through softened silhouettes that seem to drift, merge, or dance within a flat pictorial space.

    Rendered in bold blocks of solid colour – striking red and orange, yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum – the forms float atop a simplified two-tone background of blue and green, suggestive of sky and earth. The palette is both playful and intentional, using contrast to create visual depth without shadows or gradients.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and minimally textured, allowing the flatness and precision of each colour field to hold compositional tension. The overall effect is a harmonious yet enigmatic piece that invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between shape, space, and colour.

    This tempera on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks (as pictured).

  • Rhythms of the Wind

    Rhythms of the Wind

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist abstract painting that captures the essence of a dynamic landscape through expressive colour and bold, gestural form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Angular hills in deep burgundy, forest green, and charcoal anchor the composition, while slender white tree trunks stretch vertically across a kaleidoscopic backdrop.

    The trees, with their loosely rendered, wind-blown canopies of green, sway dramatically, suggesting motion and energy. The background unfolds in blocks of pastel and saturated hues – blue, lavender, peach, lemon yellow, and vivid cyan – creating a sense of fragmented light and spatial ambiguity.

    Executed in lively, expressive brushstrokes and confident swaths of colour, the work evokes both the emotional resonance of nature and the structural experimentation of modernist form. The artist’s bold palette and rhythmic composition echo the influence of abstraction while retaining a distinctly personal and poetic sensibility.

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

    A calming and serene abstract coastal landscape that suggests a sky, sea, and shoreline in soft, atmospheric layers, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2005.

    Abstract in style, the composition features fluid, overlapping forms that hint at cloud cover, water reflections, and horizon lines, all rendered with an airy touch.

    The artist has used a muted, harmonious palette of pastel tones – pale blue, soft yellow, sage green, and creamy white – punctuated by gentle accents of orange. Broad, smooth brushstrokes contrast with areas of stippled texture, creating depth and movement while maintaining an overall sense of calm. The lower third suggests a landscape grounded in earth tones, while the upper section dissolves into an expansive, impressionistic sky.

  • Coastal Path

    Coastal Path

    £740

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric and expressive landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It is a dynamic, abstracted landscape that captures the essence of walking along a windswept shoreline trail. It blends expressive brushwork, shifting textures, and a vivid, elemental palette to evoke both the physical and emotional experience of the coastline.

    Pink dashes and shapes dance across the centre, adding rhythm and possibly indicating human presence, wildflowers, or directional markers on a path. The brushwork is loose, textural, and emotionally charged, capturing fleeting impressions over literal depiction.]

    Overall, the painting conveys solitude, discovery, and elemental energy. It’s less about representing a specific location and more about evoking the feeling of being immersed in nature—the wind on your face, the shifting weather, the wide horizon ahead. It celebrates the freedom and introspection of walking the edge between land and sea.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Enclosure

    £890

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large, rich and vivid abstract composition, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    This vivid abstract composition  is defined by bold colour fields and energetic gesture, evoking the sensation of boundary, structure, and containment within nature or memory.

    It is dominated by a large central mass of deep red, bordered by a sharp vertical white line on the left and a curved pale blue line sweeping across the middle. To the right, a vibrant orange block contrasts with cooler greens and earth tones in the lower and left portions. The composition is off-center and dynamic, with the eye pulled toward the intersection of curves and edges.

    The brushstrokes are expressive and textural, with areas of scraped paint, blending, and layering giving a sense of physical depth.

    The painting could allude to land boundaries, personal space, or emotional states—open to interpretation but rich in atmosphere. There’s a sense of tactile exploration and spatial ambiguity, making the piece both visceral and contemplative.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Southern Shore

    Southern Shore

    £740

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric and expressive abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It captures the emotional essence of a coastal environment rather than a literal depiction, using abstract forms and a painterly style to evoke the energy, complexity, and richness of the scene.

    Earthy tones of red, brown, black, and orange dominate the central form, possibly alluding to rock formations, cliffs, or human structures. The bottom area is awash with cool greys, off-whites, and hints of gold, possibly representing a beach or tidal flat.

    The atmosphere is introspective yet vigorous, echoing nature’s forces—wind, water, erosion—while remaining grounded in abstract expressionism.

    The style is gestural and semi-abstract, reminiscent of mid-20th-century European modernism, where landscape becomes a conduit for emotional expression.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Still Life with Chalice

    £785

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.

    Central to the work is a dark green bottle and a silver-toned chalice, rendered with thick brushstrokes and strong contouring. A pair of oranges rest in the foreground, its saturated tones adding a burst of warmth against the cool tonalities.

    The composition is built on interlocking planes of colour – muted greens and blues, yellow, and greys – forming an almost Cubist backdrop that suggests a tabletop and surrounding walls. The brushwork is expressive and textured, with visible strokes that give the surface a sculptural quality. The use of shadow and contrast imbues the otherwise abstracted objects with weight and presence.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight wear to its edges as shown, but is in good condition overall.

    Zennor

    £890

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very atmospheric landscape painting, painted onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    This semi-abstract landscape powerfully captures the wild, changeable atmosphere of the Cornish coast, likely inspired by the moody environment near the village of Zennor in southwest England.

    The sky dominates the composition with a bold expanse of turquoise blue, suggesting a clearing or break in weather. A large, dark grey cloud mass occupies the centre, rendered with sweeping, smudged strokes that create a sense of motion and tension. Deeper greens, browns, and black at the bottom evoke moorland or rugged earth, painted with energetic brushwork and scraped textures.

    The painting exudes a dramatic, elemental energy, evoking the feeling of standing exposed to the sky on coastal high ground, just before or after a storm. It feels both expansive and intimate, caught between serenity and threat—hallmarks of Cornwall’s raw natural beauty.

    This painting  is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Chair by the Wall

    Chair by the Wall

    £765

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist style composition of an interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1948 by the established Swedish artist Rune Janson (1918-2004), who’s artworks have been displayed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum and other museums in Sweden and the National Gallery in Oslo and the Centre Georges Pompidou Paris.

    The painting captures a simplified interior scene anchored by a solitary wooden chair, rendered in bold, gestural strokes. Positioned against a backdrop of abstracted architectural forms, the composition distills a domestic setting into its essential shapes and tones.

    Modernist in its ethos and executed in an expressive style, the artist has used wide, confident brushstrokes and a palette of muted shades including purple, orange and blue. The chair – angular and minimally detailed – is positioned diagonally, its presence both grounded and abstract, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space.

    The painting’s flat planes and rhythmic blocks of colour speak to the influence of European modernism, where figuration merges seamlessly with abstraction. The brushwork is raw and tactile, allowing the texture of the paint and canvas to resonate with emotional immediacy.

    Coastal Curve

    £750

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene and uplifting mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting captures a sweeping coastal road as it bends gently toward the sea. Modernist in its ethos, the composition is defined by its bold simplification of form – trees, path, and shoreline reduced to expressive, geometric shapes in contrasting colour.

    The brushwork is confident and flat, with areas of solid colour laid down in deliberate blocks, creating a sense of stylised stillness. Trees appear as abstracted vertical forms, their trunks and canopies subtly suggested rather than rendered in detail.

    Muted tones of green, grey, and earthy taupe dominate the land, while the sea is rendered in serene blues punctuated by white sails, adding rhythm and motion to the horizon. The sky, a dusty olive-grey, creates a harmonious counterbalance to the grounded palette below.

    This oil on board is housed in very well suited wood frame. there is some wear on the left edge of the painting where it meets the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has very minor scuffing.

    Late Winter

    Sold

    SOLD

    A moody and atmospheric mid-century winter landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two bare birch trees stand in the foreground, their stark verticality cutting across a field of muted snow and earth. Behind them, a dense and darkened woodland looms, its tangle of branches rendered with expressive, energetic strokes.

    Colours are earthy and subdued: taupes, browns, and cool greys dominate the palette, punctuated by occasional hints of icy blue and pale sand. The sky is heavy and dramatic, echoing the dense line of trees below it.

    The confident, textural brushstrokes vary in direction, and the style is loose and gestural. This painting evokes a fleeting seasonal moment – cold, contemplative, and grounded in the quiet beauty of nature.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • By the Arches

    By the Arches

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and very well executed mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board by 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.

    It depicts a stylized North African architectural scene, characterized by a row of arched windows and whitewashed buildings with flat roofs. The structure is rendered with bold, simplified shapes and thick black outlines, giving it a graphic, modernist quality.

    The palette is warm and muted, dominated by creamy whites, ochres, deep blues, and burnt siennas, evoking a desert or sunlit townscape. The composition is horizontally oriented, emphasizing the linearity of the architecture and the contrast between the built environment and the figures.

    The painting has a modernist, almost expressionistic style, with an emphasis on shape, shadow, and form over fine detail. The mood is contemplative and quiet, possibly evoking the heat and stillness of a midday scene. The use of flat perspective and colour blocking contributes to a sense of abstraction, while still grounding the image in recognizable, real-world elements.

    The painting is well presented in a gilt frame which suits it impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Village Across the Water

    Village Across the Water

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    This painting features an abstracted coastal village scene, likely seen from across a body of water. The forms are geometric and simplified, with visible palette knife texture and thick impasto paint application, giving the surface a tactile quality.

    The rooftops are rendered in soft peach and pinkish tones, contrasted against cooler shades of grey, blue, and violet that suggest the sky and sea. The artist uses layered horizontal bands and angular structures to define the architecture and landscape, while the brushwork and impasto emphasize a modernist, impressionistic abstraction. The buildings are mostly blocky and flat, but their arrangement and the subtle changes in colour imply depth and perspective.

    The overall mood is tranquil and muted, evoking a foggy or overcast day in a quiet seaside village. Despite the abstraction, there’s a clear sense of structure and place, with the rooftops forming a cosy cluster amidst the misty surroundings.

    This is a serene and sophisticated landscape, abstracted to emphasize form, tone, and texture over realism, likely by an artist influenced by modernist and post-impressionist sensibilities.

    The painting is housed in a very well made and complementary frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist still life oil painting that captures a calm interior moment with a strong sense of geometry and structure, 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 composition depicts a sculptural white chalice and a cluster of green apples arranged on a deep-set window ledge, overlooking a lush countryside scene.

    The composition is both minimal and expressive, with bold simplifications of form and an emphasis on flat planes of colour. The palette is rich and harmonious – cool greens and blues dominate the landscape beyond the window, while warm yellows and lime greens bring depth and contrast to the foreground. The sky is rendered in a serene powder blue, adding an atmosphere of quiet clarity.

    The brushwork is confident and textured, with visible strokes that provide a tactile quality to the foliage and surfaces. The artist has used broad, sweeping motions for the background trees, and more sculptural, deliberate application for the chalice and fruit. The overall effect is one of elegant stillness, where the boundary between inside and outside is both physical and painterly.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks present.

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and lively 20th century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1994.

    This painting is a lively, stylised market scene. The composition is structured with clear spatial organization and bold colour blocks, using a bird’s-eye view to depict the bustling activity.

    Market stalls and vans are arranged throughout the square, painted in vivid colours like green, red, and orange. Figures of vendors and shoppers are loosely rendered with minimal detail, emphasizing movement and atmosphere over realism. At the centre is a small circular fountain, anchoring the composition. The paved plaza is painted in cool shades of blue and white, contrasting with the warm, saturated tones of produce and vehicles.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with a soft handling of light and shadow.

    The scene conveys a sense of sunny midday energy and community life, blending structure with spontaneity. Despite the simplified style, it captures the essence of a busy open-air market, full of colour, activity, and everyday charm.

    The painting is presented in a very well made gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A vibrant and charming mid-century modernist style landscape 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 composition captures a quiet moment in the countryside. Two loosely rendered figures stroll down a path, flanked by a rustic cart and surrounded by cottages within a landscape setting.

    Painted in an expressive style, the composition is constructed with broad, confident brushstrokes and an emphasis on blocks of colour rather than intricate detail. The palette is soft yet vibrant, blending pastel pinks, greens, blues, and browns.

    The simplified forms give the painting a nostalgic, almost storybook quality – evoking the rhythm of slow village life under a pale, serene sky.

    A bold and expressive mid-century modernist figurative composition, painted in oil and gouache onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    The painting depicts two seated female figures in vivid red garments, engaged in quiet dialogue or mutual contemplation. Their forms are abstracted, rendered without facial features, allowing posture and colour to convey mood and intimacy.

    The painting bursts with saturated reds, deep purples, and yellows, offset by bold swathes of white and textured brushwork that creates a dynamic, almost rhythmic background. The foreground is punctuated by gestural strokes of lilac, grey-blue, and orange, suggesting fruit or textiles on a table.

    Executed confidently and swiftly, the brushstrokes are layered and gestural, giving the piece a tactile quality as well as lively feel.

    This oil and gouache on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and richly textured mid-century abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
    Although abstract in nature, the painting captures a densely clustered mass of vertical forms that suggest a gathering of figures in motion.
    The artist has used thick impasto and gestural, almost sculptural brushstrokes to create a palpable sense of depth and emotional intensity. Faces and bodies seem to emerge from the paint, rendered with a raw immediacy that is both haunting and poetic.

    The palette is earthy and muted – browns, greys and beige – with punctuations of orange, evoking both the solemnity and vitality of the human condition. The work feels deeply emotive, bordering on the surreal, and invites contemplation on themes of community, anonymity, and collective memory.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fragments of the City (Reserved)

    Fragments of the City (Reserved)

    Sold

    SOLD

    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.

  • Seaside Stroll

    Seaside Stroll

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and very impactful mid-century figurative painting that captures a serene moment by the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

    The composition features two figures set against a vast, tranquil backdrop of sky and ocean. The central figure, dressed in a flowing white garment, carries a patterned bag, exuding a sense of calm and contemplation. A smaller figure, rendered in lighter hues, walks nearby, emphasising a sense of companionship or familial connection.

    The painting’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by minimalistic forms and a textured, almost naïve approach to rendering figures. The use of a muted, pastel colour palette – predominantly soft blues, whites, and sandy beiges – enhances the ethereal quality of the piece.

    The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture and layering, imparting a sense of movement to the otherwise quiet scene.

    This oil on canvas is creatively housed in a white painted rustic wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. There  is some age wear to backing frame panel but this is in keeping with its style.

    Size: 28.5 x 24.5cm (including frame)

  • Abstract Trio

    Abstract Trio

    £610

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century abstract figurative painting that captures a serene and introspective atmosphere, depicting three abstract human forms in a seated arrangement, executed in oil onto board.

    The figures, rendered in earthy tones of brown, beige, and muted grey, appear to be engaged in a quiet, contemplative moment. The artist has used a combination of broad, gestural brushstrokes and textured layering, which gives the figures a rugged, almost sculptural presence within the composition.

    The background is a juxtaposition of muted green and off-white blocks of colour, suggesting an interior space or an abstracted environment. The deliberate abstraction of the figures, reduced to essential forms and shapes, allows for multiple interpretations, emphasising mood and presence over detailed representation.

    The painting’s style reflects the mid-century modernist movement, characterised by a harmonious blend of abstraction and figuration. The artist’s use of subdued, natural colours evokes a soothing, meditative feeling, while the brushwork conveys a sense of spontaneity and raw emotion.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt and linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Contours of the Earth

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating and wonderfully textured large mid-century abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the painting transports the viewer to a vast, windswept terrain, reminiscent of rugged coastlines or snow-covered plains. The composition exudes a sense of movement and fluidity, as if the landscape itself is caught in a moment of transformation.

    The artist has used an expressive and dynamic impasto technique, layering thick, textured strokes to create depth and dimension. The brushstrokes are bold and confident, adding a tactile quality to the piece, while the swirling lines and undulating forms hint at the forces of nature shaping the environment.

    The colour palette is a harmonious blend of muted, earthy tones – soft greys, off-whites, and hints of yellow – evoking the subdued atmosphere of a windswept wilderness. The subtle gradients of grey merge seamlessly into the creamy whites, with occasional touches of olive and beige that suggest geological formations.

    The painting’s abstract nature allows for multiple interpretations, but its textured surface and organic flow invite contemplation of natural phenomena – perhaps eroded landscapes, flowing water, or windswept plains.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.

    Interlocked

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking modernist painting that presents a dynamic abstract composition characterised by flowing, interlocking geometric shapes, executed in oil onto board and dated 1986.

    The forms intertwine and overlap, creating a sense of motion and complexity. The dominant palette of cool blues, soft greys, and warm orange gives the work a calm yet grounded aesthetic, balanced by the interplay of warm and cool tones.

    The brushstrokes are precise, emphasising clean lines and distinct colour blocking. The overall impression is reminiscent of mid-century abstraction, with hints of cubist influence in the fragmented and reassembled forms. The painting’s harmonious use of curves and angular shapes evokes a sense of both tension and resolution.

    The composition suggests a fluid, almost sculptural quality, inviting viewers to interpret the shapes as dynamic forms in a state of transformation or movement.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary off-white frame and is presented within a white card mount, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.
