• Abstract Horizon

    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.

  • Contrasting Silhouettes

    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

    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

    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.

  • Modernist Ballerinas

    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

  • The Exchange

    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.

  • Olive Passage

    Olive Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

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

    This composition unfolds through sweeping gestures and layered passages of colour, balancing movement with spacious calm. Broad arcs of cream and white drift across fields of olive, sage, and muted khaki, while flashes of cobalt blue, burnt ochre, and deep black cut through the composition with energetic contrast. The painting carries a strong sense of rhythm and spontaneity, evoking shifting landscapes, weather patterns, or fragments of memory rather than a fixed subject.

    Executed in a gestural modernist style, the work embraces the expressive freedom associated with post-war abstraction. Thick impasto passages and palette-knife textures create a richly tactile surface, with paint applied in sweeping crescents, scraped layers, and heavily worked sections that reveal the artist’s process. The interplay between dense texture and open negative space gives the composition both tension and balance, allowing the eye to travel fluidly across the canvas.

    The colour palette is particularly refined – earthy olive and moss tones anchor the work, softened by warm ivory and cream, while vivid interruptions of blues and yellow introduce vitality and movement. The brushwork feels instinctive yet controlled, combining confident gestural sweeps with textured, almost sculptural applications of paint.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant champagne-toned timber frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Where the Light Settles

    Where the Light Settles

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric abstract landscape composition that distils the essence of a quiet horizon into a series of gestural forms and atmospheric colour fields, painted in oil 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.

    The composition suggests a windswept coastal plain or open countryside, where low-lying landforms emerge from a luminous expanse of sky. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist captures a fleeting impression of place – one shaped by memory, mood, and light.

    The painting balances abstraction and landscape, reducing natural forms to expressive strokes and simplified masses. The restrained composition creates a sense of openness and stillness, inviting contemplation while allowing the viewer’s imagination to complete the scene.

    A subtle palette of soft ivory, pale blue, warm browns, slate grey, and earthy umber lends the work a gentle, atmospheric quality. Delicate accents of golden yellow punctuate the horizon, suggesting sunlight breaking through distant forms and providing warmth against the cooler tones.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, lending texture and movement across the painted surface. Broad, sweeping strokes define the sky, while layered, energetic marks in the foreground create a sense of depth and shifting terrain. The varied application of paint – from thin washes to thicker passages – imbues the work with a tactile quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful frame with a warm gilt finish and stepped moulding profile. Both the painting and frame are excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunlit Arrangement

    Sunlit Arrangement

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly coloured and striking mid-century still life that presents a thoughtfully arranged grouping of domestic objects – a ceramic jug, cylindrical vessel, pears, lemons, and draped cloth – set upon a tabletop, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rather than pursuing realism, the artist has reduced each form into bold, interlocking shapes, creating a composition that feels both structured and expressive.

    Executed in a modernist style with hints of Cubist influence, the painting emphasises colour, form, and spatial relationships over precise representation. Objects are simplified into geometric planes and outlined with confident contours, lending the composition a strong sense of rhythm and balance.

    The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by rich ochres, burnt oranges, terracotta reds, and umber browns, enlivened by accents of lemon yellow, turquoise, and pale blue. These contrasting colours create visual energy while maintaining an overall harmony that is characteristic of mid-century modernist painting.

    Brushwork is broad and assured, with visible, painterly strokes that build form through blocks of colour rather than fine detail. The surface retains a pleasing immediacy, allowing the artist’s hand to remain evident throughout.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary warm honey-toned wood frame with a stepped profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Divided Form

    Divided Form

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling mid-century abstract composition that presents a fragmented, almost architectural figure suspended within a carefully balanced geometric space, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

    Bisected by a vertical band, the form appears simultaneously concealed and revealed, inviting contemplation of identity, duality, and perception. A solitary circular shape floats to the right, introducing a symbolic counterpoint to the central structure.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting combines abstraction with subtle figurative references. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, relying on simplified forms, strong verticality, and a restrained visual language. The interplay between organic curves and rigid geometry creates a quiet sense of tension and balance.

    The palette is earthy and sophisticated, centred around warm chestnut browns, softened by creamy whites, muted olive greens, and passages of charcoal black and bright yellow . A delicate blush tone within the central form adds warmth and depth, while the pale circular motif introduces a gentle luminosity.

    Brushwork is understated yet expressive. Thinly applied layers allow the texture of the canvas to remain visible, lending the work a tactile quality. Softly blended transitions contrast with more sharply defined edges, creating a subtle push and pull between solidity and atmosphere. The result is a contemplative and highly refined abstract painting that rewards prolonged viewing.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame, whose warm honey-toned shade complements the earthy palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pastel Settlement

    Pastel Settlement

    £620

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist composition that reduces a landscape to its essential forms, transforming a familiar rural scene into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of simplified buildings sits along the horizon, their geometric silhouettes emerging from broad fields of muted earth tones and soft pastel hues. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and abstracted, balancing observation with artistic interpretation.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist dispenses with descriptive detail in favour of large, carefully structured planes of colour. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, with horizontal bands of land and sky intersected by the angular forms of houses and rooftops. This simplification creates a sense of calm order and architectural rhythm, recalling the restrained aesthetic of European post-war modernism.

    The palette is particularly refined, comprising delicate lavender, pale cream, blush pink, sage green, dusty blue-grey, and warm earthy browns. These softened colours lend the work a quiet luminosity and contemplative mood, while subtle tonal variations create depth without disrupting the painting’s overall serenity.

    Brushwork is restrained yet expressive. Broad, confident applications of paint leave visible traces of the artist’s hand, with softly textured surfaces and gently uneven edges contributing warmth and character. The paint is applied in flat, matte passages, emphasising form and colour relationships, allowing the composition’s elegant simplicity to take centre stage.

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

  • Presence in Shadow

    Presence in Shadow

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A  compelling and emotive mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a solitary seated figure reduced to a series of expressive, interlocking forms, executed in oil onto board.

    The subject emerges from the surface through broad passages of dark paint, with the head and torso only loosely defined, inviting the viewer to engage with the work on an emotional rather than literal level. The figure appears suspended between abstraction and representation, conveying a sense of quiet introspection and psychological depth.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting demonstrates the influence of post-war European abstraction, where gesture, structure, and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The composition is carefully balanced, with the dark central mass contrasted against a luminous and softly modulated background.

    The palette is restrained yet sophisticated, featuring charcoal black, slate grey, warm yellows, sandy beige, cream, and touches of muted blue. These subtle colour relationships create a gentle luminosity that softens the otherwise powerful silhouette of the figure.

    Brushwork is confident and highly tactile, with thick impasto passages and visible palette-knife marks lending the surface considerable texture. Layered strokes overlap and intersect across the canvas, revealing the artist’s process and creating a rich interplay of movement and solidity. The resulting composition possesses both strength and sensitivity, capturing the essence of the human form through abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary light ash-toned wood frame with a gently stepped profile. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There is some craquelure visible across areas of the painted surface, consistent with the age of the work; however, it appears stable and does not detract from the overall presentation.

  • Where the Water Turns

    Where the Water Turns

    Sold

    SOLD

    A calm and atmospheric contemporary abstract landscape composition that captures the quiet grandeur of a lake or reservoir nestled within a sweeping valley, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2002.

    The scene unfolds from an elevated viewpoint, with a broad expanse of silvery water cutting through dark wooded hills and receding into a distant horizon. In the foreground, a vibrant band of  burnt orange terrain introduces warmth and energy, creating a dramatic contrast against the cool, atmospheric landscape beyond.

    Executed in a semi-abstract style, the artist reduces the natural world to simplified forms and expansive colour fields, emphasising mood and spatial depth over fine detail. The composition balances geometric structure with painterly expression, lending the work a contemplative and almost dreamlike quality.

    The palette is both restrained and evocative, dominated by soft greys, slate blues, charcoal blacks, and misty whites, punctuated by luminous passages of orange. These warm foreground tones draw the eye into the composition and suggest the fleeting colours of autumn against an otherwise tranquil landscape.

    Brushwork varies throughout the surface, from broad, sweeping applications of paint in the sky and water to more textured, layered strokes within the wooded hills. Subtle vertical marks and dry-brush effects create movement and atmosphere, while the smooth treatment of the water lends the composition a sense of stillness and quiet reflection. The result is a powerful and atmospheric work that bridges abstraction and landscape painting with elegance and restraint.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a well-suited wood frame finished in a soft silver-grey tone. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 66 x 79 cm (including frame)

  • Old Wall Patterns

    Old Wall Patterns

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lyrical landscape that captures the  poetry of the countryside through colour, texture, and memory, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A winding pale path or stone wall meanders through rolling fields, leading the eye gently into the distance. The landscape unfolds in layers of soft golds, muted greens, russet reds, and dusky mauves, creating a patchwork of fields and vegetation that feels both observed and imagined. A hillside rises across the middle ground, dotted with delicate tree forms rendered as decorative marks and textured clusters, giving the scene a tapestry-like quality.

    The title suggests that the landscape is shaped by the enduring presence of old boundary walls—those subtle human interventions that become absorbed into the natural rhythms of the land over time. The pale, serpentine line crossing the composition acts as both a visual guide and a reminder of the history embedded in the terrain.

    The artist’s handling of paint is expressive and atmospheric. Layers of translucent colour, scratching, and textured brushwork create a sense of depth and weathered age. Rather than describing every detail, she evokes the feeling of a landscape shaped by seasons, memory, and time.

    This oil on canvas is framed in a custom made wide profile frame that suits it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    £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.

  • Drift of Light

    Drift of Light

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric contemporary abstract painting distils the essence of a landscape into a series of elegant, gestural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and comes unframed.

    A broad horizon stretches across the composition, dividing a vast, atmospheric sky from a layered expanse of earth below. Soft cloud-like masses drift through the upper register, while sweeping horizontal bands evoke rolling fields, distant waterways, or windswept terrain.

    Executed in a restrained abstract expressionist style, the work balances spontaneity with calm precision. The composition relies on subtle tonal relationships rather than detailed representation, creating a contemplative sense of space and openness. Its minimal palette and confident mark-making lend the painting a distinctly modernist sensibility.

    The colour palette is composed of warm stone, sand, cream, ivory, umber, and deep espresso brown, punctuated by passages of luminous white. These earthy neutrals create a soothing atmosphere while allowing the darker linear elements to provide depth and structure.

    Brushwork varies throughout the composition, from translucent washes and softly blended passages in the sky to energetic palette-knife strokes and sweeping gestures across the landscape. Layered applications of paint reveal traces of movement and texture, with scraped and dragged marks creating a sense of natural erosion and shifting light. The result is a work that feels both expansive and intimate, capturing the quiet poetry of an imagined horizon.

    This oil on canvas is presented unframed but can be hung as is. The work remains in good condition overall.

  • The Last Light of Day

    The Last Light of Day

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gestural contemporary abstract painting that evokes the meeting of land, sky, and memory through a restrained yet deeply expressive composition, executed in oil onto canvas and comes unframed.

    A broad expanse of soft, atmospheric grey-beige occupies the upper portion of the canvas, while the lower section is animated by sweeping bands of white, umber, espresso brown, and charcoal. The scene suggests a windswept shoreline, a snow-covered plain, or a distant horizon viewed through mist, though it remains intentionally open to interpretation.

    Executed in a minimalist abstract landscape style, the work balances serenity with movement. The composition is anchored by a low horizon line, creating a strong sense of space and contemplation. Its understated palette and reductive forms recall gestural abstraction, where mood and texture take precedence over literal representation.

    The colour palette is sophisticated and neutral, comprising warm taupes, soft greys, ivory whites, rich chocolate browns, and touches of deep black. These earthy tones lend the painting a calming, organic presence while creating subtle contrasts between light and dark.

    Brushwork is energetic and tactile in the lower half of the composition. Broad palette-knife sweeps, scraped passages, and layered impasto create a richly textured surface that captures and reflects light. In contrast, the sky is rendered with thin, softly blended layers, producing a velvety, atmospheric effect. The interplay between smooth and heavily worked areas creates both visual tension and harmony, inviting prolonged viewing.

    This oil on canvas is presented unframed. The work remains in very good condition overall.

  • Veils of Light

    Veils of Light

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century modern composition that evokes a dreamlike architectural landscape suspended between reality and memory, executed in oil onto board.

    Monumental geometric forms emerge from a luminous mist, their sharp angles softened by an atmosphere of stillness and quiet contemplation. In the distance, delicate buildings and slender sailboats appear almost as apparitions, while a solitary sphere and folded plane-like forms in the foreground introduce a subtle surrealist tension.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of icy blues, pearl whites, silvery greys, and blushes of lavender, the painting is suffused with a cool, ethereal light. The artist masterfully employs tonal gradation rather than strong contrast, allowing forms to dissolve gently into one another and creating a sense of vast, open space.

    The style reflects the refined elegance of mid-century modernism, combining geometric abstraction with elements of surrealist painting. Architectural volumes are reduced to their essential shapes, lending the work a contemplative quality.

    Brushwork is exceptionally smooth and controlled, with finely blended layers producing a soft, almost airbrushed appearance. Subtle horizontal strokes in the sky and delicate transitions of tone throughout the composition contribute to the painting’s tranquil atmosphere, while crisp edges on the geometric forms provide structure and balance. The result is a poetic meditation on light, space, and silence.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary silver-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.

  • Where the Sky Deepens

    Where the Sky Deepens

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and atmospheric large mid-century abstract landscape that distills the essence of an open horizon into a composition of luminous colour and subtle form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting evokes a vast expanse of land beneath an immense twilight sky, where a few distant structures or trees punctuate the horizon line, lending a quiet sense of scale and solitude.

    Rendered with remarkable restraint, the composition balances broad horizontal bands of colour that suggest fields, water, or mist-covered plains. The simplicity of the scene invites contemplation, allowing the viewer to become immersed in its meditative stillness and expansive sense of space.

    The palette is both bold and serene. Deep ultramarine and cobalt blues dominate the upper half of the canvas, creating a rich, velvety sky that contrasts beautifully with the luminous greens below. Layers of mint, jade, seafoam, and pale sage blend softly across the landscape, while subtle grey-green passages introduce depth and atmospheric perspective. The resulting effect is dreamlike and almost otherworldly.

    Brushwork is fluid and understated, with thinly applied paint and softly blended transitions that create a sense of movement without disrupting the painting’s calm equilibrium. Horizontal sweeps of the brush reinforce the expansive landscape format, while the few dark forms along the horizon are painted with looser, more gestural strokes that provide visual anchors within the composition.

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

  • Abstracted Nature

    Abstracted Nature

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

    The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

    Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

    Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within in a card mount and a black stained wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex. The frame has some very minor scuffing as seen in the photos.

    Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

    In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

  • All the Angles

    All the Angles

    £500

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    This monoprint is created from two individual stencils on different ghost print monoprint plates in two separate colours (a ghost print is when the plate has already gone through the press). Whilst the different layers are already in different shapes, there are additional dialogues between the different components because of the different shapes that appear within the main shapes as a result of the ghost print.

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

    This print, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations.

    This monoprint is housed in a vivid green frame that further enhances the artwork within. It is protected behind a layer of perspex. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

    Size:  61.5 x 44 cm (including frame)

  • Cubist Interior with Chair

    Cubist Interior with Chair

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents an abstracted interior scene rendered in a cubist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966 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 composition is built from interlocking geometric blocks of colour, suggesting architectural forms, furniture, and a seated figure to the right. The artist breaks the interior down into a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles and planes, creating a layered sense of depth while preserving a flattened, modernist aesthetic.

    The palette is dominated by muted mauves, greys, and blacks, enlivened with striking accents of cobalt blue and deep crimson. These colours are applied in confident, opaque blocks, their edges sometimes softened by visible brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand. The brushwork is assertive, giving the impression of both structure and spontaneity.

    Hints of a chair, a table, and a figure are discernible but dissolve into abstraction, leaving the viewer to navigate between representation and geometry. This work reflects the mid-century embrace of cubist abstraction, balancing formal rigour with expressive colour.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as well as losses as shown in the photos.

  • Dimension

    Dimension

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Fragments of the City

    Fragments of the City

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Geometric Harbour

    Geometric Harbour

    £565

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle and brilliantly executed mid-century modern painting that features an abstracted harbour scene, painted in oil onto board and dated 1960.

    The composition likely depicts a small fishing village with moored boats and angular buildings nestled along the shore. Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the forms of the boats and  architectural elements have been deconstructed and simplified into an arrangement of sharp lines and faceted shapes.

    The colour palette is an elegant blend of muted earth tones, including yellow, deep green, soft blue, and beige, creating a harmonious, atmospheric effect. The boats are rendered in stark white, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center of the composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet confident manner, the brushstrokes are smooth and blended, with subtle textural variations that enhance depth and structure.

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

    Size: 40 x 64.5 cm (including frame)

  • Geometry in Grey

    Geometry in Grey

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mesmerising mid-century geometric abstract painting composed of layered angular forms that appear to float and overlap within a carefully balanced composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artist explores spatial tension through a series of intersecting planes – rectangles, trapezoids, and irregular polygons – that shift in opacity and tone, creating a rhythmic sense of movement and depth.

    Rendered in a restrained monochromatic palette of cool greys, whites, and deep charcoal, the work exudes a quiet architectural precision. The translucent layering of shapes introduces a sense of transparency and lightness, while the hard-edged forms retain a strong graphic clarity.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with even application of paint that emphasises the structural purity of the design rather than gestural expression. The artist’s refined control of tone and balance reflects the mid-century fascination with form, proportion, and visual harmony.

    This oil on canvas comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It is on stretched canvas so is ready to hang but if you would like us to help you with framing, you can contact us here.

  • La Plage

    La Plage

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A modernist style abstract composition painted in acrylic onto canvas board, by French born artist Nils Jean.

    Featuring an abstract interpretation of a winter beach landscape in Normandy, this painting focuses on the formal elements of line, form, shape and colour. Nils combines these shapes to form a very harmonious composition. Bold colours of black, blue and sandy brown are set against a lighter grey-blue background.

    Working in acrylic on canvas, Jean’s strong use of colour and pattern are influenced by his time  studying fashion at Studio Berçot in Paris and subsequently working as a womenswear designer, prior to moving to London to focus on the arts. French born, Nils Jean currently lives on the South coast of the United Kingdom.

    This painting is housed in a black box frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good condition.
