    A simple yet very effective abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    A set of bright abstract forms sit against a black background, teasing our eyes into an optical illusion. These elements excite the imagination – depending on the viewer various subjective interpretations can be made. Aside from any interpretation, the coloured forms are in themselves fascinating to look at due to the striking juxtaposition between them and the dark background.

    The frame is housed in a simple red frame which adds to its striking effect. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly painted mid century figurative portrait of 2 priests, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A charming mid century landscape view of Tenerife, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This small yet striking painting is filled with details, and encourages the viewer to look further into the distance. In the front of the painting, we see a house and beautiful flora taking space on left and right corners of the painting. As our eyes study the piece further, we can spot 2 figures facing a lake, seemingly in conversation and enjoying the nature view with a hilly landscape in the background.

    Using a rich colour palette in uplifting tones, the artist has applied textured and expressive brushstrokes to compose this restful landscape.

    A waterway is presented in front of a row of houses in a suburban neighbourhood. The sky is blue, and in full fall glory, the leaves on the trees have started turning orange.

    Roosters

    Original price was: £305.Current price is: £259.

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A truly striking and vibrant scene of a pair of roosters set within an expressive landscape dotted with trees and other animals. This painting has an exceptional three dimensional quality to it, with very thickly applied brightly coloured oils on the canvas. The artist has caked on the paint and has then shaped it, not using a brush, but with a palette and fingers.  Here the artist has used the paint not simply to depict part of the picture, but to be part of the picture. These techniques are reminiscent of modernist artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, whose use of paint was often pronounced and dramatic, as is the case with this painting.

    The scene taking place has much to offer, with other animals appearing in unexpected places. Every aspect of this picture has been given a life of its own – the swirls of the trees, the dynamic strokes of the sky, the comma like stabs of the grass. Wonderful contrasts of colour and different forms of paint applications lend a sense of depth, and create such an array of interesting features to notice.

    This oil on stretched canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is unframed but can be hung as is.

    Reverie

    Original price was: £240.Current price is: £150.

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This modernist style painting strikes a fine balance between realism and abstraction. We see a calming and dreamy riverscape on the one hand, but the combination of bold lines, subjective use of colour and  distinct forms and shapes adds an element of abstraction to the piece. We’re unable to tie the landscape to any particular place or moment in time, which lends a sense of mystery to the piece. It allows us to let our minds wander, transporting us to a distant place faraway, away from the stresses of everyday life. The post-impressionist elements of this painting would make it a good fit for a contemporary interior.

    This oil on board comes unframed, and has minor surface marks on the edges that would be easily hidden by a frame.

    Construction 2

    Original price was: £350.Current price is: £300.

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional work features cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials.  It is a fine example of technical mastery and the organisation of material. Here the role of the artist as ‘painter’ has been re-imagined – the artist is an engineer wielding tools instead of a painter holding a brush. The art has been ‘built’, rather than emerging from an expressive impulse or an academic tradition. As a result, the artwork is intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.

    Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 38 x 48 cm (including frame)

    This painting matches perfectly with another piece by the same hand, and you can purchase them as a set here.

  • A Restful Moment

    Sold

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively mid-century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    In the foreground, a vase of striking blue flowers commands attention. Beside the vase, a single lemon, a burst of radiant yellow, also rests on the windowsill. The backdrop presents a view of buildings and houses that have been painted in light pastel shades of blues, yellows and pinks.

    The artist has skilfully simplified the composition down to blocks of geometric shapes in contrasting shades and bold outlines, maintaining the modernist focus on geometric abstraction, as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

    The brushstrokes across the canvas are expressive and lightly textured, contributing to the painting’s dynamic quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary cream frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A  beautiful and expressive composition of a coastline, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    The painting captures the serene beauty of two sailboats resting on a sandy shore. Beyond the sailboats, we get a view of the ocean and on the distant horizon, expansive mountains stretch out across the painting.

    Through the use of delicate brushstrokes and a gentle and uplifting colour palette, the artwork evokes a timeless sense of peace and relaxation, inviting the viewer to escape into this peaceful coastal haven.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an attractive wood and gilt frame with a linen inner window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffs but this is not very obvious and overall the appearance is very good.

  • Coastal Fragments

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid-century abstract composition depicting a coastal scene with boats, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artwork embodies hints of cubism, with all realistic details omitted, emphasising a play of geometric shapes and colours.

    The artist has expertly deconstructed what we can discern to be a coastal scene with boats into blocks of contrasting colours that interlock with one another, creating a harmonious balance among them.

    The colour palette predominantly features rich reds, pale yellows, mellow whites and beige, and deep blacks, each block merging with the next through a process of layering that adds depth and interest to the composition.

    The use of these rich colours brings warmth and energy to the scene, while the unique blue outlines that trace the silhouettes of some blocks add a distinctive touch, drawing the eye to key elements of the composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist semi abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

    Reminiscent of the Modern British St Ives painter Ben Nicholson who was also fascinated with table top scenes, this composition features a real interest in cubist techniques. The artist here uses a still life composition of plates, mugs and a bottle on a table with a flattened perspective while still suggesting their three dimensional forms. This composition is executed in a warm colour palette, with a smooth finish.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully textured and confidently executed mid-century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

It leans towards semi abstraction, with a shift away from traditional perspective and a focus on formal elements like shape, line and colour.

  • Terrace

    Sold

    SOLD

He has used a warm and rich palette of terracotta red, orange and black. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and texture throughout the composition.

    The painting is on stretched canvas and can be hung unframed. There is some scattered craquelure and general age wear that is commensurate with age, but the painting is stable and looks good overall.

  • Four Pears

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still life in oil, painted by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Cederberg is known for his exquisite still lifes of pears, which always capture the delightful quirkiness of this lovely fruit. He focuses on their forms, approaching the fruit and its surroundings with a modernist ethos. Both the background and objects within this picture have been painted in flat planes of colour, creating a blocky composition. There is a beautiful balance to the horizontal composition, which Cederberg is known to be adept at achieving.

    Cederberg was a Swedish artist who made his debut on the art world in Helsingborg in 1922.  Later he participated in the  Skåne Art Association Exhibition in 1926 and the  Swedish Public Art Society exhibition in Stockholm in 1941. He is represented in several public collections in Sweden.

    This brilliantly done oil is beautifully presented in a lovely wood frame and an inner linen lined border.  Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pipe & Pears

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful mid-century still life in oil, painted by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    In this excellent composition, an assortment of objects including three pears, a pipe, a pitcher, a lemon, and a book are thoughtfully laid out on a wooden surface.

    Working with a rich and saturated colour palette, the objects appear illuminated. They are set against a backdrop of darker shades including blue, red, black, and green that intermingle, creating a visually striking contrast that makes the bowl of pears stand out more.

    Working with a rich colour palette comprising shades of green, brown, yellow, and white, the artist has skilfully captured the three-dimensional qualities of the objects and the intricate grain of the wood, whilst simultaneously emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the board. The expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes further enrich the visual experience of the piece.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century silver frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, and there is light age toning to the linen lined area of the frame as shown in photos. Trust us when we say the painting is much better in real life than in the photographs! Please note that some glare is evident in the photos.

  • Portrait in an Interior

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed and subtle mid century modernist portrait, executed in oil onto board.

    This semi-abstract composition depicts a female figure in an interior setting, with her gaze facing downwards.

    The artist thoughtfully painted the figure’s face in muted orange, and this is juxtaposed against the rest of the palette comprising soft and muted shades of beige, green and yellow. This contrast in colour creates a focal point for our eyes, as it first captures our attention when we lay our eyes on the painting.
