    A large and brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A richly layered and highly expressive landscape, this painting captures the untamed beauty of the natural world through a complex interplay of colour, texture and movement. Although abstracted in style, the composition evokes the familiarity of a wild valley or mountain pass, with sweeping forms suggesting rolling hills, winding paths and distant peaks beneath an expansive sky.

    Built up with multiple layers of paint, the surface is wonderfully textured and full of character. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of energy and depth, revealing subtle shifts in tone and gesture the longer you look. Dominant hues of deep reds, moss greens, ochres and earthy browns merge and overlap to create a warm, grounded palette that feels closely connected to the land itself.

    When caught by the light, brighter passages of pale blue, blush pink and soft cream emerge from within the composition, adding luminosity and contrast. These lighter notes bring a sense of atmosphere and openness, as though sunlight is breaking through clouds and illuminating sections of the landscape below.

    There is a compelling sense of both movement and structure in the work. Fluid, sweeping marks guide the eye through the scene, while the varied colours and textures create a layered terrain that feels rugged, organic and alive. The painting rewards close inspection, revealing new details and relationships with each viewing.

    Bold yet harmonious, this piece would bring warmth, depth and a strong connection to nature into an interior. It is an engaging and atmospheric work for anyone drawn to expressive landscapes and richly textured contemporary painting.

    This large painting is beautifully presented in a custom made white tray frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking.

  • The Quiet Whisper of Trees

    The Quiet Whisper of Trees

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a pared-back scene defined by restraint and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two slender trees rise gently from an open, muted expanse, their forms softened and slightly blurred as though caught in a passing breeze or remembered at a distance. Behind them, a low, undulating horizon stretches quietly across the composition, anchoring the scene with a subtle sense of depth.

    The artist has used a minimal, almost abstracted approach: foreground and background dissolve into one another through thin washes and softly layered tones. The palette is beautifully subdued, composed of warm taupes, soft greys, and pale stone hues, punctuated by a sweep of dark blue along the distant ridge. This restrained colour story enhances the painting’s calm, meditative quality.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with feathery, gestural strokes defining the foliage and more fluid, diluted applications across the ground. The surface reveals moments of transparency where the canvas breathes through, adding to the sense of lightness and quiet openness.

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

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.
    This evocative abstract seascape captures the raw energy and movement of a rugged coastline in shifting weather. Painted in layered tones of deep indigo, slate blue, charcoal and soft whites, the composition suggests waves surging and breaking over dark rocks beneath a vast, unsettled sky.

    Rather than describing the scene in literal detail, Frances distils the landscape into sweeping brushstrokes and expressive marks. Broad, gestural strokes create a sense of constant motion, as if wind and water are reshaping the shoreline before our eyes. The interplay of light and dark conveys the dramatic contrast between the foaming sea and the solid, enduring presence of the rocks.

    There is a wonderful sense of atmosphere in the painting. Pale creams and misty whites open up the sky, allowing light to filter through the clouds, while the rich blues and greys below evoke the weight and power of the ocean. The result is both dramatic and meditative, capturing that familiar coastal feeling where nature feels untamed, yet deeply calming.

    Though abstract in style, the work remains strongly connected to the natural world, inviting the viewer to imagine crashing waves, shifting weather and the rhythmic pulse of the sea. It is a piece that rewards repeated viewing, with new details and emotional nuances emerging over time.

    Elegant and atmospheric, this painting would bring a sense of depth, movement and tranquillity to any interior, making it an ideal choice for those drawn to coastal landscapes and expressive contemporary abstraction.

    The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made Trescoll slab frame, which allows you to see the edges of the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    To Gaze Upon Beauty

    £390

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A simple yet deeply evocative seascape, this small abstract painting captures the enduring rhythm and quiet power of the sea. Set within a generous deep frame, the composition feels almost like a treasured coastal memory, something glimpsed through a window and held in suspension.

    Sweeping brushstrokes and layered tones of navy, slate blue, soft grey and sandy ochre suggest waves rolling and folding over one another beneath a luminous sky. The forms are pared back to their essentials, allowing the painting to communicate through movement, colour and atmosphere rather than precise detail. This simplicity is part of its charm; the scene feels immediately familiar, even if no specific location is defined.

    There is a striking balance between gentleness and strength. The pale upper section offers a sense of openness and calm, while the darker, more energetic marks below hint at the ocean’s underlying force. The result is a work that feels both soothing and dynamic, echoing the way the sea can be restorative and powerful at the same time.

    The deep frame gives the piece a sculptural presence, drawing the eye inward and lending the painting a sense of intimacy and focus. Modest in scale but rich in atmosphere, it is a quietly compelling work that would bring a touch of coastal serenity and contemporary elegance to any interior.

    The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made St Ives frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

  • Weight of Warmth

    Weight of Warmth

    £725

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    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 abstract painting is anchored by a central, organic form that hovers between figuration and pure gesture. Suggestive of a standing presence, the shape emerges from a richly layered ground, inviting interpretation without resolving into a fixed identity. The composition feels both grounded and dynamic, as if capturing a fleeting moment of movement or emotional intensity.

    The style reflects the expressive confidence of mid-century abstraction, where the artist prioritises form, colour, and texture over literal representation. There is a palpable sense of spontaneity, balanced by a careful orchestration of space and mass.

    A bold palette dominates the canvas: deep vermilion and burnt sienna create a warm, immersive backdrop, while passages of mustard yellow and soft terracotta build the central form. A striking vertical of black introduces contrast and structural tension, offset by a lighter, almost chalky white that breaks through the composition and adds luminosity. Flecks of cobalt blue and hints of green peek through in places, lending vibrancy and subtle complexity.

    The brushwork is varied and tactile: thick, impasto applications sit alongside scraped and dragged passages, revealing layers beneath. Broad, gestural strokes convey immediacy, while areas of stippling and dry-brush texture add depth and rhythm. The surface carries a physical presence, with paint built up and worked back, embodying the artist’s process in every mark.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame with a brushed gold finish. The painting has some areas of craquelure, consistent with age, which remain stable and do not detract from the visual impact. The frame has light scuffing and minor areas of surface loss.

    Size: 83 x 58 cm (including frame)

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative 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 striking painting presents two simplified human forms suspended in a quiet, intimate exchange. One figure stands in soft green clothing, loosely holding a cluster of yellow flowers, while the other sits nearby, turned toward them in a moment that feels conversational. Their faces are intentionally undefined, reduced to smooth, pale planes.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces abstraction through flattened forms, pared-back anatomy, and a near-collage approach to composition. The figures are constructed with bold, interlocking shapes, their outlines subtly broken and reassembled with gestural marks that lend a sense of movement and quiet fragmentation.

    The palette is dominated by layered greens – ranging from mint and sage to deeper teal – punctuated by fresh accents of lemon yellow, sky blue, and hints of charcoal and white. These colours create a luminous, almost sunlit atmosphere, evoking nature without depicting it literally.

    Brushwork is confident: broad, matte planes of colour are interrupted by swift, expressive strokes and linear marks that cut across the surface. These gestural accents introduce rhythm and spontaneity, softening the otherwise graphic structure and adding depth to the composition.

    Altogether, the piece captures a fleeting human connection – poised somewhere between stillness and conversation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There are some light marks to the painting, most notably near the face of the figure on the right. The frame shows minor scuffing consistent with age.

  • Reclining Figure in Red

    Reclining Figure in Red

    £995

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century modernist abstract figurative 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.

    The painting captures the essence of the human form through a language of bold reduction and tactile surface. A reclining figure emerges from the composition, its contours simplified into rounded, interlocking shapes that suggest the curve of a shoulder, the bend of a hip, and the quiet weight of a resting body. The figure feels both present and elusive – more sensed than precisely defined – inviting the viewer to complete the form through perception.

    The style is distinctly modernist, leaning into abstraction while retaining a strong figurative anchor. There is a confident balance between structure and spontaneity: broad planes of colour establish the composition, while energetic, almost impulsive marks disrupt and animate the surface. The artist’s hand is evident throughout, giving the work a raw, expressive immediacy.

    The palette is warm and striking, dominated by rich vermilion reds, burnt orange, and deep maroon tones that form a saturated backdrop. Against this, the figure is rendered in creamy, off-white hues, punctuated by flashes of cobalt blue and teal. These cooler accents create visual tension and rhythm, guiding the eye across the composition and adding depth to the otherwise flattened space.

    Brushwork is thick and textural, with areas of heavy impasto that catch the light and emphasise the physicality of the paint. Scraped passages and layered strokes contribute to a richly worked surface, where traces of earlier marks remain visible beneath. This layering gives the painting a sense of history and movement, as though the figure has been gradually revealed through successive gestures.

    Overall, the piece is a powerful study in form, colour, and material – intimate yet bold, gestural yet composed.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame that has a gently stepped profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffs.

    £855

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative 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 charming painting captures a quiet, intimate moment between two children, absorbed in a shared task. One stands steady while the other bends slightly forward, both focused on lifting or holding a soft, ambiguous form between them – perhaps a cushion, or an object of play. Their faceless forms heighten the universality of the scene, allowing the viewer to project their own memories of childhood connection and curiosity.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is pared back to essential shapes and gestures. The figures are outlined through simplified silhouettes, with an intentional absence of facial detail that shifts emphasis to posture and interaction. The background dissolves into abstract patches of colour, suggesting an environment rather than defining it – echoing influences of mid-century European modernism with a playful, almost childlike sensibility.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by soft greens, turquoise blues, and warm earthy tones. The contrast between the cool, airy background and the warmer clothing of the figures creates a gentle visual rhythm. Subtle, irregular streaks and patches of colour are scattered across the surface, adding movement and a sense of spontaneity.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unrefined, applied in flat, matte blocks with visible texture from the canvas beneath. There is a rawness to the application – edges are imperfect, transitions are abrupt – which lends the piece its authenticity and expressive charm. The painting feels both deliberate and instinctive, embodying the spirit of mid-century abstraction where form, colour, and emotion take precedence over realism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there are some marks present on the surface of the painting. There is also a very small dent to the top right edge, along with scuffing to the frame.

  • Geometric Collage in Blues

    Geometric Collage in Blues

    £450

    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 heart of the artwork is a carefully balanced four-part composition, divided into squares, each containing a small vertical pairing of rectangular blocks. These central forms: composed of soft off-white, deep indigo, slate grey, and muted charcoal – echo one another subtly across the surface, creating a quiet rhythm and sense of repetition. The woven textures of the salvaged book cloth are beautifully visible within each element, offering gentle variation and tactility against the broader fields of colour.

    The background is composed of softly shifting panels of various blues, each section bearing the marks of time through delicate abrasions, faint horizontal striations, and areas of tonal wear. Vertical and horizontal seams subtly divide the surface, reinforcing the constructed, assemblage nature of the work while adding depth and structure.

    The composition feels contemplative and architectural: where repetition, balance, and materiality come together in a restrained yet deeply textural expression. There is a quiet dialogue between the squares, each echoing the other while retaining its own subtle tonal identity.

    The artwork is presented in a warm-toned solid wood float frame with a rich grain that complements the cooler hues of the piece. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    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 in Dark Brown

    £380

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    At the centre is a compact vertical block of four rectangles, arranged in a tight grid. The arrangement feels deliberate and balanced, like a coded visual fragment.

    The surface surrounding this central form is rich with the history of its previous life. Dark, charcoal-toned book covers dominate the background, with horizontal scuffs, striations, and fading that reveal years of handling and wear. A visible seam across the middle hints at the joining of separate covers, reinforcing the idea of reconstruction.

    The binding cloth used in the coloured rectangles subtly contrasts with the rougher ground. The crisp geometry of the central block stands in tension with the imperfect, weathered field.

    Boyd distills their physical essence into a minimal composition that speaks of time, use, and renewal—less about what was written, and more about what remains.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    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.

    This Dave Boyd work is a refined meditation on balance, material memory, and geometry, crafted from objects that once held stories, now transformed into something more abstract and contemplative.

    In it we have a vertical alignment of four softly rendered circles anchors the piece, each one subtly distinct in tone. hey sit in perfect balance, like a totemic sequence or visual rhythm, guiding the eye gently downward.

    The background is richly textured. Faded ochres, worn browns, and chalky whites create a weathered, timeworn surface. Horizontal marks and abrasions hint at handling, storage, and history. A visible seam across the middle quietly reveals its constructed, layered origin.

    You can almost feel the past life of the materials which have been handled, read, discarded, and reimagined.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    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 small vertical grid of coloured squares, arranged in a neat, almost architectural column. Each block (muted red, ochre, green, teal, grey, and off-white) carefully chosen, like a restrained palette study. Its symmetry contrasts with the more irregular, weathered background.

    The surrounding field is a rich, earthy expanse, layered with horizontal marks, striations, and subtle tonal shifts. There’s a tension between precision (the grid) and imperfection (the background).

    Colour, material, and space are reduced to essentials. It invites slow looking, rewarding attention with subtle shifts in tone and texture rather than bold statements.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

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

    It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

    The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

  • Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion

    Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet captivating mid-century abstract triptych that evokes the quiet power and rhythm of water in motion, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Across the three panels, fluid, sculptural forms emerge and dissolve – suggesting cresting waves, shifting currents, or even fleeting natural phenomena captured mid-transformation. Each composition feels both connected and self-contained, inviting the viewer to move from one moment of motion to the next.

    Rendered in a restrained, atmospheric palette of soft greys, silvery whites, and muted blue undertones, the works exude a sense of calm and introspection. Subtle tonal gradations in the background create depth and horizon-like expanses, while the central forms introduce tension and movement.

    The artist’s use of thick, impasto brushwork is particularly compelling – paint is applied with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, creating ridges and folds that catch the light. These gestural strokes give the impression of energy frozen in time, with each mark feeling deliberate yet instinctive. The contrast between the smooth, blended grounds and the dynamic, textural forms enhances the sense of movement across the series.

    Together, the three paintings form a cohesive visual narrative – an exploration of flow, balance, and the ephemeral beauty of natural forces – making this a captivating and contemplative set that rewards close viewing.

    These 3 oils are each housed in a  complementary silver painted wood frame. The paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have some light scuffing present.

  • Suspended Dialogues

    Suspended Dialogues

    £1,455

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An intriguing and engaging abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2009 by contemporary Swedish artist Pontus Carle (b.1955).

    This abstract composition unfolds as a lively visual conversation, where floating forms and intersecting marks appear suspended in a shallow, atmospheric space. Suggestive rather than literal, the painting hints at figures, tools, and architectural fragments without ever settling into a fixed narrative. Shapes drift, overlap, and counterbalance one another, creating a sense of movement and quiet tension across the surface.

    Executed in a contemporary abstract style with subtle echoes of mid-century modern abstraction, the work balances spontaneity with control. Linear elements cut decisively through softer, rounded forms, while areas of transparency allow underlying layers to gently emerge. The composition feels intuitive and playful, yet carefully orchestrated.

    The colour palette is restrained but expressive, anchored by soft greys and off-whites, and punctuated with confident accents of black, ochre, mustard yellow, coral, teal, and muted blue. These touches of colour animate the surface, guiding the eye rhythmically across the canvas.

    Brushstrokes range from broad, gestural sweeps to delicate, calligraphic lines. Some passages are thin and translucent, revealing earlier decisions beneath, while others are more opaque and textural, lending depth and visual contrast. The result is a dynamic, layered painting that rewards close inspection and invites ongoing interpretation

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary slim white frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The work is in very good condition overall. There is a small dent located in the middle of the surface, which is subtle and does not detract from the overall visual impact.

    Slender, linear forms – rendered in vivid red- suggest human silhouettes, gathering across a dense field of angular shapes. These figures feel both primitive and modern, evoking a sense of movement and quiet connectivity within an otherwise chaotic environment.

    Stylistically, the painting leans into mid-century abstraction with strong influences of cubism and figurative modernism. The scene is constructed from interlocking geometric planes, compressing depth and perspective into a flattened, dynamic surface. The figures are reduced to essential lines and nodes, almost symbolic in nature, contrasting sharply with the weightier, block-like forms that surround them.

    The colour palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds, burgundy, plum, and umber, interspersed with cooler passages of slate blue, charcoal, and muted lavender. Occasional accents of green and pale cream provide visual relief, while the recurring red linear figures create a unifying thread across the composition.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Paint is applied in thick, deliberate patches, giving each geometric fragment a tactile presence. The interplay between matte and slightly more saturated passages enhances the sense of depth, despite the overall flattened structure. The result is a compelling balance between order and spontaneity – an intricate visual rhythm that invites the eye to wander and discover new relationships within the composition.

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

  • Blue Divide

    Blue Divide

    £730

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric 20th century abstract landscape scene that distils nature into its most elemental forms – sky, land, and light – rendered through a restrained yet deeply expressive lens, executed in oil onto board and dated 1973.

    A vast, luminous sky in soft, powdery blues stretches across the upper plane, subtly shifting in tone with gentle cloud-like variations. Beneath it, a stark horizon line divides the composition, grounding the scene with a band of deep, inky blues and near-black tones that suggest either a distant sea or an expansive field at dusk.

    The foreground is richly atmospheric, built up with layered, gestural applications of paint. Dark teal, indigo, and earthy umber tones merge and dissolve into one another, evoking a sense of depth and quiet movement. A striking passage of pale, almost luminescent white and aqua near the right side hints at reflected light – perhaps water catching the last glimmer of day – adding a moment of contrast and visual intrigue.

    Stylistically, the work leans toward abstraction while retaining a strong sense of landscape. The artist has employed broad, confident brushstrokes alongside areas of scraping and reworking, allowing underlying layers to emerge. This interplay of opacity and translucency gives the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality.

    Overall, the piece carries a contemplative stillness – an understated yet powerful meditation on horizon, light, and space.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some areas of paint loss, consistent with age.

  • The Space Between

    The Space Between

    £640

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A 21st-century minimalist abstract painting that explores the interplay between negative space and geometric form with meditative clarity, executed in oil on canvas.

    Dominated by a large, white shape that stretches vertically across the canvas, the composition is framed by two symmetrical bands of muted green on either side. These green sections are not sharply delineated but instead curve inward with organic fluidity, forming the edges of the central void.

    Executed in a minimalist style, the work bears no visible brushstrokes, suggesting the use of masking techniques or flat application of paint to achieve a crisp, graphic finish. The simplicity of the colour palette – clean white and a subdued forest green – lends a serene, contemplative tone, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tension between form and emptiness, presence and absence. A subtle nod to mid-century minimalism, this piece balances structure and softness with elegant restraint.

    This work appeals emotionally through its stillness and subtle rhythm, and intellectually through its form-driven abstraction—a reminder that art doesn’t need to explain itself to be deeply affecting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Woodland Rhythm

    Woodland Rhythm

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A dynamic mid-century artwork that can be read as an abstracted woodland scene, where slender tree trunks and clustered canopies are distilled into rhythmic, angular forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

    The vertical lines suggest trunks or branches, while the overlapping triangular and faceted shapes evoke dense foliage catching light at different angles. Rather than a literal forest, it feels like a memory or impression of one – fragmented, layered, and alive with quiet movement.

    The style leans into geometric abstraction with strong cubist influence, where natural forms are broken down into interlocking planes. The composition feels almost musical in its repetition – trees rising and overlapping, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. There’s a balance between structure and spontaneity, as the eye moves through the clustered forms like walking through a stylised grove.

    The palette is rich yet earthy: dominated by browns, mustard yellows, olive greens, and warm rust tones that suggest autumnal foliage or filtered forest light. Darker browns and charcoal lines anchor the composition, acting as trunks or branches that give structure to the scene.

    Brushwork remains controlled and deliberate, with paint applied in flat, confident planes that emphasise form over texture. Subtle variations in tone and the visible weave of the canvas add warmth and tactility, reinforcing the painting’s grounded, organic feel despite its abstraction.

    This oil on board is housed complementary layered wooden frame with pronounced grain, as well as a cream-toned inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • 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. 

    Size: 96.5 x 68 cm (including frame)

  • Windowlight Mosaic

    Windowlight Mosaic

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A radiant mid-century composition that balances abstraction with suggestion, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting evokes the feeling of light filtering through a window onto a lively garden. Fragmented planes and overlapping shapes hint at foliage, architectural lines and perhaps a vase or tabletop, yet the subject remains intentionally fluid – an interplay between interior and exterior, structure and nature.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work embraces geometric simplification and flattened perspective. Forms are broken into angular shards and soft-edged blocks, arranged in a rhythmic grid-like composition that feels both ordered and spontaneous. There is a gentle Cubist influence in the faceting of shapes, yet the palette keeps the mood light and optimistic rather than analytical.

    The colour palette is fresh and luminous: powder blue and sky tones form a cool foundation, layered with warm buttery yellows and soft apricot hues. Accents of sage green, lavender, and deeper violet punctuate the composition, while subtle flashes of pink add vibrancy. The harmonious contrast between warm and cool tones creates a sense of depth without relying on traditional modelling.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet restrained. Paint is applied in smooth, deliberate layers, with visible directional strokes that follow the geometry of each shape. The surface retains a soft, matte texture, enhancing the tactile quality of the canvas while maintaining clarity of form.

    Overall, the piece captures the optimistic spirit of mid-century abstraction: light-filled, balanced, and quietly joyful.

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

  • 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.

  • The Waiting Place

    The Waiting Place

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century abstract figurative painting that presents a gathering of elongated figures arranged in quiet proximity, executed in oil onto board.

    The forms appear engaged in a shared moment: perhaps at a waiting place or a gathering, but their identities remain deliberately obscured.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances abstraction with figuration. The figures are reduced to essential silhouettes and planar shapes, their coats and hats suggested through angular geometry and softened contours. There is a subtle architectural structure anchoring the composition, with vertical elements lending a sense of stillness and gravitas.

    The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by muted greys, smoky charcoals, warm browns, and off-whites, punctuated by accents of crimson, burnt sienna, and soft rose. These warmer notes glow subtly from the centre, creating a quiet internal luminosity that draws the viewer inward. The tonal contrasts between light and dark figures create rhythm and spatial depth while maintaining an atmospheric cohesion.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, combining thin washes with dry, textured passages. Edges dissolve and re-emerge, allowing forms to hover between presence and absence. Vertical strokes emphasise the standing figures, while softer blended areas create a sense of movement and ambiguity. This interplay between structure and dissolution is characteristic of mid-century abstraction, lending the painting both emotional resonance and formal sophistication.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey painted wood frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a white mark to the bottom right corner of the outer frame but this does not detract from the overall composition.

  • Chromatic Constellation

    Chromatic Constellation

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and energetic abstract composition where colour, movement, and gesture converge in a dynamic visual dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The surface is alive with bold, biomorphic forms and spontaneous splashes that seem to hover and collide within an expansive field of pale cerulean blue. Large organic shapes in saturated green, deep ultramarine, mustard yellow, and inky black anchor the composition, while vivid red splatters and fine white linear streaks cut across the canvas like bursts of energy or fleeting trajectories.

    At the heart of the painting, a luminous circular yellow form radiates warmth and presence, acting as both focal point and counterbalance to the surrounding asymmetrical shapes. The artist masterfully juxtaposes areas of dense opacity with translucent washes, creating depth and rhythm. Smaller droplets of silver-grey and scattered pigment add a sense of cosmic randomness, enhancing the impression of movement and spontaneity.

    The brushwork ranges from smooth, deliberate blocks of colour to expressive drips, splashes, and flicked paint which are hallmarks of Abstract Expressionist technique. Thick, gestural strokes coexist with fluid pours and delicate splatters, revealing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas. The layering of pigment creates subtle textures and visual tension, inviting the viewer to explore the painting’s surface and uncover new relationships between form and colour.

    Overall, the painting evokes a sense of joyful immediacy and intuitive creation. It is an orchestration of colour and gesture that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Earth and Air

    Earth and Air

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape that distils the essence of open countryside into a series of quiet, expressive gestures, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition unfolds horizontally, suggesting rolling fields and distant hills softened by atmosphere and distance. Rather than describing a specific place, the artist captures the feeling of land, its stillness, breadth, and gentle undulation.

    The palette is subtle and earthy, dominated by layered greens ranging from moss and olive to brighter, more luminous passages that suggest fresh grass or sunlight breaking through cloud. These tones are grounded by muted browns, evoking soil and natural terrain, while soft washes of pale grey and off-white above create a vast, overcast sky. A darker, almost charcoal passage to the right anchors the composition, providing contrast and visual weight.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident. Broad horizontal strokes define the landscape planes, while thinner, vertical marks in the foreground suggest grasses or reeds, lending a sense of immediacy and texture. Areas of exposed ground and visible canvas contribute to the painting’s modernist sensibility, allowing the viewer to witness the artist’s process and movement. The application alternates between opaque and translucent layers, creating depth while maintaining an airy openness.

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

  • Grove in Repose

    Grove in Repose

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling abstract landscape with figures composition, painted in oil  in 1946 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.

    A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

    Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

    The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

  • Pastel Grove

    Pastel Grove

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and pleasant mid-century abstract modernist landscape that evokes a tranquil woodland clearing bathed in the gentle glow of early morning light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender vertical forms suggest tree trunks rising through a softly diffused atmosphere, while a luminous central passage draws the eye inward, hinting at a path or opening beyond. The composition balances abstraction and suggestion, allowing the viewer to experience both place and feeling without strict definition.

    Rendered in a delicate pastel palette of blush pinks, warm yellows, and soft sage greens, the painting captures the fleeting harmony of nature as it shifts between seasons or times of day. Subtle tonal transitions create a sense of depth and air, while muted earth tones anchor the foreground in quiet stability.

    The brushwork is expressive yet restrained, with visible palette knife textures and layered impasto lending the surface a tactile richness. Paint is applied in confident sweeps and gentle scrapes, allowing underlayers to emerge and interact, enhancing the painting’s luminous, atmospheric quality. The result is a serene and contemplative modernist work: both structured and intuitive as the landscape is captured as an emotional and sensory experience rather than a literal view.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Things Far and Near

    Things Far and Near

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

    This painting showcases Durling’s hallmark abstract language—minimal yet emotionally charged, textured yet airy. It’s a small piece that feels quiet but confident, introspective and balanced, like a private rhythm unfolding in colour and texture.

    As with much of Durling’s work, the surface is highly textured, with thick layers of paint that create a tactile, almost geological quality. The canvas feels worked, scraped, and layered, like time embedded in paint.

    The background is dominated by a soft minty green and pale pink base, giving the work a calm and gentle tone. Accents of bold black, vibrant orange-red, buttery yellow, and bright white interrupt the softness in bursts.

    Despite its abstraction, this piece feels personal and evocative. There’s a delicate tension between order and spontaneity, between soft space and strong marks.

    This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame is a perfect match for this kind of subtle abstraction. It provides a visual anchor without stealing any attention, and its rustic quality echoes the organic textures in the painting itself.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

  • Sliced Lemons

    Sliced Lemons

    £765

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A cubist inspired still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The focal point is a pair of sliced lemons, painted in thick, creamy strokes of yellow, white, and peach, giving them a fresh, tactile presence. Beside the fruit is a green pear-like form, adding another organic shape and hue. These items rest on a dark surface, perhaps a tabletop, which is painted in large, angular blocks of navy and black.

    A small brown table or cabinet with short legs sits in the upper right quadrant. It appears simplified and stylised, reinforcing the abstracted, geometric quality of the whole scene.

    This piece is heavily influenced by Cubism and early modernism. Forms are reduced to flat planes and hard-edged shapes and the brushwork is confident but restrained. There is a visible grid-like structure as if the artist constructed the composition like a puzzle.

    The painting feels studied, measured, and designed, like an artist exploring how to deconstruct the familiar (fruit and furniture) into new visual language. It invites the viewer to slow down, observe form over realism, and enjoy the way light and space are broken into segments. The fractured composition gives it a slightly modern, mosaic-like effect, almost architectural in nature.

    The painting is housed in a light grey wood with a weathered patina and a gently bevelled design. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
