    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that presents a bold and simplified view of a vast landscape scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through green and golden fields toward a body of deep blue water, flanked by steep, rounded hills in earthy browns and muted purples. A dense green shrub anchors the foreground, providing contrast against the golden fields and the cool expanse of water beyond.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with flattened planes of colour and an emphasis on form over detail. The artist has reduced the landscape into strong, geometric shapes, capturing the essence of the scene with clarity and economy.

    The palette is rich yet subdued. Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and deliberate, applied in smooth layers that enhance the sense of structure and solidity in the composition. The result is a landscape that feels both stylised and timeless, evoking a sense of journey and distance within its simplified, harmonious design.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a warm brown finish that subtly echoes the earthy tones within the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    A playful and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

    This artworks is a two layered monoprint which creates new lines and curves through the simple layering. This allows each shape to emphasise its own individuality.

    Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

    It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

    Size:  61 x 44 cm (including frame)

  • The Juggler

    The Juggler

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting that presents a stylised performer rendered in bold geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure, dressed in a vivid patchwork costume of interlocking chevrons and colour blocks, stands poised with one arm outstretched, balancing two circular forms in green and blue. A mask and beret add to the theatrical quality, suggesting the subject is a harlequin or juggler.

    The composition is divided into distinct planes of muted colours that heighten the sense of stage-like drama. The ground is dotted with playful red and purple marks, while a looping line hints at a hoop or prop, reinforcing the carnival atmosphere.

    Executed in flat planes of paint, the brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with clean, well-defined edges that emphasise the crisp geometry of the design. The palette juxtaposes earthy tones with bright primaries, creating visual rhythm and balance.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well suited wood frame finished in a muted silver-grey tone with subtle golden highlights along the inner edge. The painting is in very good vintage condition, with only a small area of paint loss to the gold leaf of the frame.

  • Crimson Barns at Dusk

    Crimson Barns at Dusk

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant expressionist mid-century landscape captures a rustic rural scene bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun, executed in oil onto board.

    A winding path leads the viewer’s eye into the composition, where clusters of red barns and a white farmhouse sit nestled among rolling green fields and deep blue hills. The horizon blazes with golden and amber tones, suggesting the fleeting light of early evening.

    Executed in a bold, expressionistic style, the artist has used thick, confident impasto brushstrokes, allowing the paint to stand proud from the surface and convey a palpable sense of texture and movement. Colours are rich and saturated – crimson, emerald, orange, violet, and cobalt – layered to create depth and contrast. The sweeping strokes in the sky and land give the work a sense of energy and immediacy, while the simplified forms evoke a nostalgic charm.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary light wood frame with an inner linen-lining and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.  The frame has some marks present but is in good condition overall.

  • Through the Tunnel

    Through the Tunnel

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and compelling mid-century modernist painting that immerses the viewer in the perspective of a train driver at work, executed in oil onto board.

    Rendered in bold, confident brushstrokes, this composition captures the dense array of gauges, levers, and dials that surround the central figure – an train driver in a cobalt-blue uniform – who gazes ahead toward a set of diverging tracks leading into a shadowy tunnel.

    The style is distinctly modernist, echoing the industrial fascination of the mid-20th century. The artist has used a semi-abstract approach, reducing forms into rhythmic blocks of colour and simplified shapes that emphasise geometry over realism. Rich earthy browns and blacks contrast sharply with vivid blues, reds, and whites, bringing energy and movement to the interior space.

    The brushwork is vigorous and expressive, lending texture and dynamism to both the machinery and the tunnel’s receding perspective. This painting celebrates the machinery of modern life while subtly meditating on the solitude and focus of the individual amidst the mechanical world.

    This oil on board  is housed in a complementary gilt frame with and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks on its linen border as shown but is in good vintage condition otherwise.

  • Golden Hour Fields

    Golden Hour Fields

    £585

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and beautifully textured mid-century landscape painting that captures a tranquil rural scene rendered in a distinctly modernist style, and executed in oil onto board.

    At the heart of the composition lies a small red barn, nestled among tall trees that punctuate the gentle, undulating terrain. A ribbon of pale grey road leads the viewer’s eye diagonally through the canvas, bisecting fields of green and ochre that suggest cultivated land in late summer.

    The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and a subtly geometric structure to the forms – typical of the mid-century approach to simplifying nature into bold planes and rhythmic patterns. The colour palette is rich but muted, with earthy greens, clay reds, greys, and soft sky blues evoking a nostalgic calm. Layers of thick impasto and visible directional strokes bring energy and movement to the otherwise serene countryside, giving the painting a textured, almost sculptural surface.

    This work is a beautiful testament to the artist’s ability to distil a landscape into its essential forms, while still conveying warmth, place, and time.

    This oil on board is housed in a unique gilt frame with a red inner border which complements the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • By Candlelight

    By Candlelight

    £415

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poignant mid-century still life composition that evokes solitude and reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1977.

    The painting presents a tall, elegant candlestick with a melting white candle beside a thick, well-worn book. A dark ribbon bookmark drapes softly over the book’s cover. The composition is set against a deep red background and a muted olive-grey surface, creating a rich contrast that draws the viewer into the stillness of the scene.

    Executed in a restrained style, the artist has used minimal detailing and flat spatial planes, allowing texture and form to take precedence. The brushstrokes are deliberate and slightly coarse, especially in the candle’s flickering flame and the textured surface of the book’s pages, lending the piece a tactile quality. The muted, earthy palette enhances the painting’s meditative tone.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilded border. The painting has two small areas of paint loss as shown in the close ups. The frame is in good condition.

  • A Moment to Herself

    A Moment to Herself

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century figurative painting painted in 1955 that captures a contemplative figure absorbed in quiet work, seated near a sunlit window,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject is cloaked in soft whites and muted yellows. Her back is turned, head bowed slightly, hands poised at a table – offering a moment of private introspection or perhaps diligent creation.

    Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition flattens and abstracts the figure and environment into planes of diffused light and soft geometry. The painting evokes a hushed, almost spiritual atmosphere, reinforced by the play of cool blues and dusky purples that mingle with the warm earth tones of the interior.

    The artist’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate, layering paint in broad, textural strokes that blur the lines between body and space. The window, though suggested rather than rendered in full detail, casts a cool radiance into the room, lending a structural balance and emotional focal point.

    This is a quietly moving piece – imbued with the kind of everyday poetry that typified mid-century figurative painting, where solitude, domesticity, and light become the true subjects.

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

    Structural View

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century modernist urban landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The painting captures a quiet residential street scene as observed from behind a structural steel framework – perhaps the interior of a train, or a station canopy. The painting offers a fragmented urban perspective, with rooftops, chimneys, and facades clustered together under a brooding sky. The central teal-blue support beam divides the composition, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and scenery.

    Bold, sculptural brushstrokes and an expressive use of impasto lend a tactile richness to the scene. The palette leans cool, dominated by blue-greens and dusky greys, punctuated by muted maroons, browns, and pale yellows that bring warmth to the architectural forms.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some light scuffing to the frame, but it is in good condition overall.

  • Apple Reflection

    Apple Reflection

    £405

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined mid-century still life that captures a crisp moment of domestic simplicity with photorealistic precision, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At the centre, a knife rests diagonally on a highly polished surface, its reflection rendered with meticulous attention. Flanking it are three apple segments – one halved, one whole, and one freshly cut – each painted with soft transitions of red, yellow, and green, evoking ripeness and freshness.

    The artist employs a naturalistic style with subtle tonal gradations and a restrained palette. The composition is grounded in realism, but the clean backdrop and stark contrast between object and reflection give the work a modernist sharpness. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with a finish so refined it nearly conceals the hand of the painter – typical of mid-century realism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame . The painting is in excellent vintage  condition, and the frame has some paint peeling off on its inner section as shown in the photos.

  • Crimson Apples

    Crimson Apples

    £950

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    The painting captures a bold composition of four red apples nestled in a pale ceramic bowl, as it channels a sense of rustic intimacy through its simplified forms and earthy palette. Set against a loosely-rendered, wood-textured tabletop with blues and greens framing the background, the work evokes both structure and spontaneity.

    Executed in a heavily impastoed style, the artist builds texture through deliberate, sculptural brushstrokes. The surface is rich with ridges of oil paint, applied thickly and expressively, lending dimensionality and movement to the otherwise still composition. Deep reds, moss greens, ochres, and navy blues dominate the palette, unified by the creamy whites of the bowl and accented by the textured backdrop.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition,  and the frame has some marks at the bottom of its linen section.

    Fruit & Brushes

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A painterly and expressive mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This expressive composition offers a window into the artist’s studio through a rhythmic arrangement of objects  – a terracotta vase, a lilac-toned pitcher, a cobalt dish of orange fruit, and a pair of blue tumblers holding delicate paintbrushes.

    What sets this piece apart is the dynamic interplay of brushstroke and line. Thick, impasto layers are energetically applied, while the artist employs sgraffito – scratching into the wet paint with the back of a brush to reveal underlying tones and carve gestural lines into the surface. This technique adds both texture and movement, amplifying the painting’s sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

    The palette is a sophisticated interplay of soft mauves, deep greens, and muted blues, set against a textured backdrop that shifts from diagonal to vertical strokes  – echoing the tension between structure and freedom.

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

    A striking mid-century modernist landscape rendered in a semi-abstract style, that captures the sculptural quality of the natural terrain through bold, expressive brushwork and a refined palette, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition evokes an arid canyon vista, where red earth forms and sand-coloured ridges converge beneath a hazy, pale sky. A deep green tree anchors the right side, its foliage built with rapid, textural strokes that suggest movement and volume.

    The artist’s confident handling of paint emphasises texture over detail, using broad, angular brushstrokes to sculpt the land into almost architectural planes. Muted purples and earthy reds contrast against softer neutrals and golden tones, lending the scene both depth and warmth. With its modernist sensibility and harmonious abstraction, this piece distills the landscape into its essential shapes and energies, offering a timeless interpretation of place through form and colour.

  • Market Day in the Square

    Market Day in the Square

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century Naïve style street scene that captures the rhythm and warmth of a local European town square on market day, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The composition presents a bustling yet orderly gathering of figures amid open stalls and sunlit awnings, set against the backdrop of a grand building with a steep red roof and tall chimney that anchors the composition.

    Executed in a naïve, folk-modernist style, the figures are rendered with simplified forms and minimal detail. The artist has used flat, blocky colour planes with earthy ochres, deep forest greens, navy blues, and brick reds, punctuated by soft greys and muted yellows in the cobbled square and overcast sky.

    Brushstrokes are direct and purposeful, with little blending. A defining feature of this work is the use of deep blue outlines – used not only to demarcate figures, umbrellas, and building edges, but also to bring coherence and rhythm to the composition. These cobalt contours give the scene an illustrative quality, emphasising form over detail.

    Overall, this work balances architectural geometry with the spontaneity of human life and community.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.
    The paintings in this series respond to the calming presence of the colour green. Frances consciously spends as much time as she can outside. She lives close to woodlands and fields, making it easy to be immersed within greenery.

The red-roofed buildings on the left and the larger  structure on the right frame the scene, while the trees provide vertical balance and a touch of organic softness. The sky is lightly clouded, contributing to a calm and tranquil atmosphere.

    A charming modernist still life painting that captures a domestic tabletop scene with pared-down elegance and geometric order, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two green bottles, a cluster of green apples, and a white bowl of leafy greens sit alongside a robust earthenware pot, all arranged on a grey placemat against a backdrop of vertical yellow stripes. In the distance, two halved eggs rest symmetrically on a narrow shelf, contributing to the balanced composition.

    The style is distinctly modernist, marked by flattened forms, strong outlines, and a harmonious structure. The artist has reduced everyday objects to simplified, almost architectural shapes – echoing the mid-century preoccupation with abstraction and clarity of form.

    The colour palette is rich and warm, dominated by yellows, olives, and soft blues, with accents of terracotta and cream. Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, lending a calm, deliberate rhythm to the surface. This is a quiet composition that celebrates order, stillness, and the formal beauty of the mundane.

    £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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Zennor

    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.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. 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.

  • Interior & View

    Interior & View

    £695

    Available

    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.

  • The Bustling Market

    The Bustling Market

    £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.
