Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed semi-abstract mid century modernist oil composition, painted in 1959 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum and Jönköping Museum.

In this composition we can see two figures, each sitting on a donkey. There is an inscription on the reverse which locates the scene to Altea, in Spain. Morsing has abstracted the figures and animals, using a restrained palette of black, green, yellow and white, and omitting all realistic detail. Instead, multi-directional brushstrokes come together carefully and in a very considered manner to create the forms we see.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has losses and marks to its edges as shown.

Conjuring Blue
£350
Available
Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small but powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.

The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Modernist Ballerinas
£895
Available
Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An outstanding mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

The painting captures a scene of two ballerinas surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, rhe artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette, the artist has reduced the area around the ballerinas to angular planes in different gradients of brown.. Details such as the small but striking red lips of the figures, as well as the layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen-lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown in the close ups
