Interior Looking Out
£885
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century painting that explores the relationship between an intimate interior and the exterior world beyond, painted in oil in 1958 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

The viewer appears positioned within an enclosed room, looking outward through a doorway or architectural opening towards a fragmented exterior landscape.

The composition reveals clear influences of Cubism and geometric abstraction, with both the interior and exterior reduced to overlapping planes, angular forms and blocks of colour. Rather than relying on conventional perspective, the artist constructs space through intersecting shapes and shifting viewpoints, allowing the boundaries between foreground, interior architecture and the world outside to subtly dissolve.

Within the foreground, broad passages of red, burgundy, mustard, forest green and deep blue suggest the interior through abstracted fragments of flooring, furnishings and shadow. Tall vertical planes of powder blue, grey and creamy white frame either side of the composition, creating the impression of walls or a doorway and directing the eye towards the exterior.

Beyond this opening, the outside world becomes increasingly fragmented. Geometric arrangements of blue, brown, olive, grey and black loosely evoke buildings, rooftops and windows, while small golden-yellow forms towards the upper centre suggest structures illuminated by light. The exterior remains recognisable without ever becoming literal, hovering beautifully between architecture and pure abstraction.

The palette is rich and confidently balanced, with saturated reds and blues offset by earthy browns, muted greens, cool greys and whites. Dark passages of charcoal and near-black provide structure, while flashes of yellow and orange bring warmth and rhythm to the composition.

Paint is applied in broad, assured strokes, with visible brushwork and deliberately softened, irregular edges preventing the geometric construction from feeling overly rigid. Areas of dense, opaque pigment contrast with thinner and more loosely worked passages, giving the surface a wonderfully tactile quality

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Reflection
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking semi geometric landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

This brilliantly executed oil transforms a waterside scene into a playful arrangement of colour and shape. Trees become sharp triangles, buildings are reduced to blocks, and their reflections fragment into an almost abstract pattern across the water below.

The palette is particularly joyful: vivid lime and forest greens sit alongside brilliant yellow and cool blues, giving the painting a wonderful freshness and energy. Yet despite the bold colour, there’s a pleasing sense of order to the composition, with the strong horizontal shoreline balancing the cluster of angular forms above and below it.

Somewhere between landscape and abstraction, it’s the sort of painting that can be enjoyed simply for its shapes and colours and then, almost suddenly, resolves itself back into a place.

This oil on canvas is presented in a very well suited silver painted floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing.

The Golden Divide
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition that brings together architectural geometry and suggestions of a coastal landscape through a carefully balanced arrangement of colour and form, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition sits between pure abstraction and landscape, with angular forms suggesting buildings or structures gathered beside water. An expansive field of pale blue creates a sense of openness, while a slender golden line stretches across the upper canvas, reading both as a distant horizon and a strong geometric device.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist language, the work shows influences of geometric abstraction, reducing architecture and landscape into intersecting planes and blocks of colour. Its asymmetrical composition and generous negative space lend the painting a particularly fresh, contemporary quality.

Luminous blues are layered with saturated cobalt, ultramarine and deep navy. These cool tones are enlivened by mustard yellow and warm golden brown, alongside passages of white and cream. A near-black circular form anchors the foreground, while the fine golden horizon provides a striking contrast against the blue.

Broad, controlled areas of colour are combined with more expressive, visibly worked passages. Vertical strokes and overlapping bands of blue create movement and depth, while subtle variations in opacity allow underlying colours and canvas texture to remain visible. The result feels both carefully constructed and intuitively painted.

This oil on canvas is presented in an complementary slim silver frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Forms in Motion
£825
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract oil composition dated 1965, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

This painting explores the interplay of organic form, colour and movement. Large, loosely defined shapes gather and overlap across the canvas, creating a lively visual rhythm that feels simultaneously spontaneous and carefully balanced. The forms remain deliberately ambiguous, inviting associations with leaves, petals or fragments of the natural world without resolving into a recognisable subject.

The palette is particularly distinctive, bringing together powdery blue, fresh lime green, warm brown, burnt orange and earthy brick red, punctuated by bold areas of charcoal black. Sections of creamy white provide moments of openness between the denser passages of colour, while the contrasting warm and cool tones give the composition its wonderful energy.

Stylistically, the painting has a distinctly mid-century modernist sensibility, with an emphasis on simplified organic forms and expressive colour rather than representation. There is an almost collage-like quality to the arrangement, as individual shapes appear layered, interlocked and suspended across the surface.

The brushwork is loose, visible and wonderfully tactile. Short, overlapping strokes remain evident within the larger blocks of colour, creating subtle variations in tone and texture. Rather than striving for perfectly polished edges, the artist allows the hand-painted quality of the work to remain visible, lending the composition an appealing immediacy and warmth.

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

Geometric Neighbourhood
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century composition of a neighbourhood, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the scene is defined by tall houses that have been skilfully reduced to geometric blocks in contrasting colours, with a splash of fun patterned dots.

Rich earthy tones dominate the palette – deep turquoise and emerald greens are punctuated by lighter greens, with hints of black, brown, and white and yellow demonstrating depth to the painting. The artist’s use of these colours creates a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

Despite the simplified forms, the neighbourhood’s lively energy is palpable, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the shapes, colours, and expressive brushwork.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very minor scuffs.

House Above the Fields
£655
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century abstract landscape that reduces a landscape environment to a harmonious arrangement of shape, colour and atmosphere, exeucted in oil onto canvas.

At the centre, the suggestion of a solitary house emerges from the landscape, its pitched roof and shadowed facade loosely defined against an expansive, pale sky. Surrounding fields and distant terrain are distilled into broad, overlapping planes, giving the composition the quality of a landscape recalled from memory rather than directly observed.

The work has a distinctly modernist sensibility, balancing abstraction with just enough recognisable detail to anchor the scene. Architectural and natural forms are simplified into irregular geometric blocks, while softened edges allow one area to dissolve gently into the next. The unusually generous area of open sky brings a wonderful sense of stillness and space to the composition.

The palette is beautifully restrained, built around powder blue, misty grey, olive and moss green, charcoal and earthy brown. Against these muted tones, passages of dusty blush pink, turquoise and vivid cornflower blue provide unexpected flashes of colour, while a small accent of orange-red at the far right adds a particularly lively counterpoint.

Brushwork shifts between thin, softly blended passages and more substantial, textured applications of paint. The house is especially expressive, constructed through scumbled layers of brown, cream, grey and browns that allow underlying colours to remain visible. Elsewhere, broad horizontal strokes establish the landscape, while areas of dry, dragged pigment and visible bristle marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. The result is a quietly atmospheric work in which landscape, architecture and abstraction sit beautifully in balance.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white painted wood floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor marks.

Masquerade
£1,100
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively and captivating mid-century geometric abstract composition, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Edvard Andersson (1891-1967), who’s artworks have been represented in several prominent institutions across Malmö, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and also at Helsingborgs Museum.

The painting is filled with an array of geometric shapes painted in rich bold tones of brown, black, yellow, blue, and turquoise. These shapes collide and overlap, creating a rhythmic interplay across the surface.

Amidst the abstract nature of the painting, a subtle mask-like form, a building block, as well as silhouettes of figures emerge, adding a touch of mystery to the composition.

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

Sunlit Cart
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively 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.

At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained; the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

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

Sunlit Forms
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.

The Distant Green
£570
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape, depicting a broad, open countryside reduced to its most essential forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

A distant and low ribbon of fields stretches horizontally across the composition, punctuated by slender trees and softly defined clusters of foliage. Above and below, expansive areas of pale colour create a wonderful sense of space and stillness, giving the distant landscape an almost meditative presence.

The artist takes a distinctly modernist approach to the landscape, favouring simplification and abstraction over descriptive detail. The countryside is constructed through elongated bands and flattened shapes, with trees and hedgerows appearing as loose vertical and horizontal marks. The unusually low, narrow horizon emphasises the breadth of the surrounding space and lends the painting a strikingly minimalist quality.

The palette is wonderfully understated, dominated by warm ivory, soft cream and muted yellow, contrasted against a concentrated band of sage, olive, forest green and blue-green. Subtle shifts between these greens suggest fields, distant trees and changing vegetation without defining them too precisely. The warmth of the surrounding pale ground gives the cooler greens a particularly fresh luminosity.

Brushwork is loose and expressive. Broad horizontal sweeps establish the fields and horizon, while short, upright strokes indicate trees and distant structures. Areas of dry, broken pigment allow the lighter ground to show through, introducing texture and movement to the otherwise serene composition. The sparseness of the marks feels deliberate: with remarkably little detail, the artist captures the atmosphere and rhythm of a vast rural landscape.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Trio Gathering
£890
Sold

Free UK Shipping Only.

A bold and compelling mid-century geometric composition depicting a closely gathered group of abstracted figures, executed in oil onto board.

The subjects emerge through an arrangement of interlocking angular planes, their bodies reduced to elongated blocks, faceted forms and sharply defined silhouettes. While distinctly figurative, the painting moves confidently towards abstraction, allowing the figures to read almost as a single architectural structure.

The work has a distinctly cubist and geometric abstract character, with perspective flattened and the human form fragmented into overlapping geometric shapes. The tightly compressed grouping creates a wonderful sense of intimacy and collective presence, while subtle variations in height, posture and direction give each figure an individual identity. There is an intriguing ambiguity to the scene – the figures might be engaged in conversation, gathered in contemplation, or simply occupying the same space.

The palette is wonderfully restrained, dominated by charcoal black, slate grey and muted olive, punctuated by passages of chalky white, pale stone, smoky blue-grey and occasional warm cream. These lighter facets illuminate portions of the figures almost like shafts of light, creating depth and rhythm against the darker forms.

Brushwork is controlled yet visibly painterly. Broad areas of colour have been applied in relatively flat, opaque passages, with softly irregular edges and subtle variations in surface texture preventing the geometry from feeling overly rigid. The occasional trace of the brush and unevenness of pigment lend warmth and tactility to the otherwise disciplined composition.

A striking example of mid-century geometric figuration, balancing the recognisable human form with bold abstraction, architectural structure and a sophisticated, subdued palette.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Waiting by the Window
£850
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intriguing and enigmatic semi-abstract oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1948.

A solitary woman sits in profile beside what appears to be a window, her form pared back into simple blocks of colour and loosely drawn lines. The artist gives us very little detail, yet somehow there is enough to suggest a whole moment. Someone sitting, waiting, thinking or simply watching the world beyond the glass. Powder blue and pale green create a soft, almost dreamlike setting, while touches of mustard, pink and deep teal bring warmth and structure to the composition.

The painting is wonderfully presented in a simple but effective wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Embracing the principles of movement and rhythm, this abstract composition showcases a dynamic mix of yellow, green, and blue horizontal wavy planes of colour. They flow across the canvas, resembling undulating waves, suggesting movement and fluidity, and creating a soothing visual experience.

Where the Land Fades

Sold

SOLD

A large and very atmospheric painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

A vast expanse of soft blue-grey sky dominates the composition, while the landscape below is suggested rather than defined through loose passages of sage green, chalky white, dusty pink and muted mauve. Fleeting marks hint at fields, water, distant trees and perhaps a road or pathway disappearing into the scene, but nothing is quite fixed — allowing the landscape to hover beautifully between abstraction and reality.

With its large size, it has real presence without feeling overpowering; its generous scale and wonderfully subdued palette give it a quiet, contemplative quality that would bring both softness and interest to a room.

This painting is housed in a very complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing.

Blue Echoes
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition that explores the tension between mass, movement and negative space, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

Rather than depicting a recognisable subject, the painting invites interpretation through its bold architectural forms and layered textures. A sweeping black arc anchors the composition, while sculptural passages of white, vivid cobalt blue and warm browns appear to float across a tranquil slate-grey ground, suggesting the remnants of a constructed landscape or an imagined industrial horizon.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work balances geometric abstraction with expressive, tactile mark-making. The composition feels carefully considered yet spontaneous, combining the structural confidence of post-war abstraction with the physicality of gestural painting. Areas of exposed underpainting and irregular edges lend the work an authentic sense of process, revealing the artist’s intuitive approach to building the surface.

The restrained palette of soft greys, charcoal black and creamy white is punctuated by electric cobalt blue and earthy browns, creating a compelling dialogue between cool and warm tones. These carefully placed accents energise the composition without overwhelming its quiet sophistication.

The paint surface is richly textured, with thick impasto passages applied confidently using a palette knife or broad brush. Heavy ridges of paint, scraped-back layers and expressive drips create remarkable depth, while looping linear gestures on the right-hand side introduce a lively counterpoint to the otherwise solid forms. The resulting surface is highly tactile, celebrating the materiality of paint as much as colour and composition.

This oil on board is presented in a silver frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are scuffs to the frame and marks visible to the pale sections of the frame. There is a small area of wear to the top section of the frame.

Landscape Remembered
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The composition distils the essence of a landscape into a harmonious arrangement of geometric forms and expressive gestures. Suggestive silhouettes of harbourside buildings and rolling headlands stretch across a broad horizon, while sweeping black marks evoke the movement of seabirds or drifting clouds overhead. Rather than depicting a specific place, the artist captures the memory and atmosphere of a landscape through abstraction.

Rendered in a beautifully restrained palette of warm greys, taupe and charcoal, the composition is enlivened by carefully placed accents of cobalt blue, burnt sienna, ochre, soft sage and pale lemon. These vibrant passages punctuate the muted tones, lending the work a quiet sense of rhythm and vitality without disturbing its overall serenity.

Confident, deliberate brushwork characterises the painting throughout. Crisp, flat planes of colour are balanced by spontaneous gestural strokes, textured impasto passages and exposed painterly marks that reveal the artist’s process. The interplay between controlled geometry and expressive abstraction creates a composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

This oil on board is presented in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs mainly at the inner section.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A wonderfully textured figurative composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1976.

A figure is captured in the act of serving a drink. The figure blends seamlessly into an abstract backdrop where shades of white, light blue, greens and brown overlay one another. He or she appears as a natural extension of this delicate environment, and by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the figure’s form.

The subtle colours, applied with loose and unrestrained brushstrokes, create a textural and visually stimulating surface. Its expressive nature also evokes a sense of movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the scene.

En Route My Love
£640

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very captivating and richly toned original painting by British artist Frances Daws.

Inspired by the quiet familiarity of travelling the same country roads time and time again, Frances distils the landscape into memory rather than reality. Instead of capturing every field and hedgerow, she paints the essence of a place as it lingers in the mind.

A deliberately muted palette of deep greens, earthy reds and soft pinks creates a gentle rhythm across the canvas, while subtle glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath our own recollections. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and elusive. Less a specific view, and more the feeling of passing through the countryside, where memories blur into one another with every journey.

The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

Fleeting Glances
£640
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and richly coloured original painting by British artist Frances Daws.

In this expressive landscape, Frances Daws explores not the countryside as it appears, but as it is remembered after countless journeys along the same familiar roads. Shapes dissolve into broad, confident brushstrokes, while a restrained palette of deep greens, warm ochres and soft pinks allows shifts in tone to take centre stage.

The landscape feels as though it is constantly moving. Glimpsed from a car window, recalled later in fragments, and reassembled through memory rather than observation. Areas of exposed underpainting peek through the composition, lending a sense of depth and cohesion while reminding us that, much like our own recollections, every landscape is built layer by layer. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and wonderfully familiar, inviting the viewer to fill in the details with memories of journeys of their own

From Lacock to Bath
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and vividly coloured painting by British artist Frances Daws.

“From Lacock to Bath” captures the fleeting impressions gathered along one of the West Country’s most familiar routes. Rather than documenting a particular view, Frances paints the landscape as it settles in the memory after repeated journeys, rolling hills reduced to confident, flowing shapes and a carefully restrained palette of deep greens, rich earth tones and soft pinks. The subtle contrasts in tone create depth without relying on fine detail, while glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath the surface.

The result is a landscape that feels both unmistakably rural and beautifully universal, inviting us to recognise not a place, but the familiarity of a journey we’ve taken many times before.

This painting on canvas board is beautifully presented in a in white St Ives style frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Where Light Rests
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A minimalist and elegant mid-century abstracted composition that distils the essence of a tranquil seascape into a beautifully restrained arrangement of form, light and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two simplified sailboats rest quietly upon still water, their dark hulls and slender masts emerging from an expansive field of soft ivory. A delicate burst of luminous colour behind the vessels hints at the first light of day or the gentle glow of a setting sun, creating a subtle focal point without disrupting the painting’s meditative calm.

Executed in a modernist style, the work embraces minimalism and negative space, allowing the surrounding emptiness to become as expressive as the subjects themselves. The composition balances precision with softness, reducing familiar maritime forms to their essential geometry while preserving a strong sense of serenity and contemplation.

The palette is intentionally restrained, dominated by warm whites, cream and pale stone tones, accented with charcoal black and touches of muted turquoise and soft gold that gently radiate through the centre of the composition. These understated colours lend the painting a quiet luminosity and timeless sophistication.

Brushwork is delicate and atmospheric throughout, with fine surface texture within the paint that creates depth. Thin, carefully controlled lines define the masts, while the hulls are rendered with confident, sculptural strokes. The surrounding paint has been softly layered and feathered, creating translucent washes and subtle tonal transitions that evoke mist, reflected light and calm water.

This oil on canvas is presented in a distressed style wood frame with a light gold gold finish that beautifully complements the work’s soft, neutral palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometric Collage in Blue Triangles
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

At the centre is a vertical arrangement of geometric forms composed of repeating blue and ivory triangles. The simple motif creates a rhythmic sequence of interlocking diagonals, drawing the eye through the composition with a quiet sense of movement.

The expansive field of reclaimed materials provides a beautifully understated backdrop. The soft brown surface reveal the fibres, textures, and subtle imperfections of their previous life, offering a tactile contrast to the crisp geometry of the central design. The generous use of negative space enhances the work’s calm, meditative quality, allowing the patterned column to become the quiet focal point.

Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

Geometric Collage 12 Squares
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

At the centre sits a slender vertical grid of coloured squares, composed with careful precision. Muted shades of burgundy, dusty rose, charcoal, warm brown, soft ivory, pale blue-grey, and crimson are arranged in an understated sequence, each square subtly interacting with its neighbour. The composition recalls a restrained colour study, where balance and proportion take precedence over complexity.

The surrounding reclaimed materials lend the work remarkable depth and character, as it provides a tactile counterpoint to the crisp geometry of the coloured grids. The generous negative space lends the work a sense of calm, while the contrast between the orderly geometry and the organic imperfections of the reclaimed surface creates a quiet yet compelling tension.

Abstract Horizon
£675
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A mid-century modernist abstract landscape painting that captures a rugged, windswept terrain through expressive and gestural brushwork, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition evokes an expansive natural scene, possibly an autumnal field or rocky desert, with layered horizontal bands of colour suggesting depth and movement. The artist has used bold black forms scattered across the canvas, which could represent geological formations, shadows, or abstracted land contours.

Rendered in a striking palette of earthy ochres, deep rusts, and burnt yellows, the warm hues contrast dramatically against the bolder black strokes. The upper section features a pale beige sky, creating a sense of atmospheric openness that enhances the composition’s spatial depth.

The painting is executed with raw, gestural brushstrokes and areas of impasto, adding an energetic and dynamic quality.

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

Size: 72 x 91.5 cm (including frame)

Contrasting Silhouettes
£860
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting presents the silhouette of 2 figures, rendered in bold and contrasting colours of orange, black, grey, and white, against a deep black backdrop. The figures stand side by side, their forms simplified and stripped of realistic detail, emphasising their shapes and the dynamic interplay of colours.

The abstract nature of the painting draws attention to the contrast between the hues, creating a sense of depth and movement within the piece. The overall effect is striking, with the stark background intensifying the vibrancy of the figures.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some light marks, but nothing that detracts from its overall appearance. The frame has a small mark at its bottom left corner.

Cradle
£915
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

Crimson Conversation
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

Size: 51 x 64 cm (including frame)

The Exchange
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A captivating and expressive mid-century figurative painting depicting two stylised figures standing in quiet dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

Their forms are abstracted yet expressive – one slender and upright, the other broader with a gently tilted head, creating an intimate sense of interaction without relying on facial detail. The figures feel sculptural, almost totemic, evoking mood through posture rather than realism.

Rendered in a bold modernist style, the composition embraces simplified shapes and a strong graphic presence. The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by orange, rust, deep umber, charcoal, and muted mustard yellows. These tones are set against a pale, softly luminous background that enhances the painting’s sense of warmth and immediacy.

The brushwork is confident and textural, with broad, gestural strokes that give the figures weight and movement. Layered passages of paint create subtle ridges and variations, while the looser background wash keeps the scene airy and light. There is a raw, expressive quality to the application – intentional yet spontaneous.

A striking piece with strong presence, emotional ambiguity, and a wonderful interplay of colour and form.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary rich, dark wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight widening to the corners, some scuffs, as well as four small drill holes present in each corner of the frame.

Size: 56 x 66 cm (including frame)
