A large and striking modernist mid century oil on board, painting in 1945.
In this painting, short and expressive brushstrokes have been applied in vivid and distinct colours. The artist has used a series of horizontal strokes in a layering of colour to create a sense of depth of space. The panoramic city landscape beyond and the greener landscape to the foreground have been reduced down to short dabs of bold colours that create a beautiful sense of movement within the picture. There is a wonderful sense that the artist is very fond of the landscape he has depicted.
This painting is also carries elements of the fauvist style of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element.
This painting is housed in its original mid century linen lined frame. There is some general ageing to the frame that is commensurate with age, and also in keeping with its overall look. The painting is in good vintage condition.

SOLD.
A semi-abstract mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1949.
Painted in an expressive style, the artist has set a group of birch trees against blocks of colour in a myriad of green, yellow and blue shades to create a sense of space and width in the composition.

A small and very striking mid century composition, executed in oil onto board.

The artist has worked boldly in his medium of oil, confidently executing gestural and expressive brushstrokes, and has used the impasto technique to create a wonderful textural quality. Each colour has also been thoughtfully selected and layered to give rise to this beautiful abstract composition.

A subtle and lightly textured miniature landscape composition, executed in oil in 1980.
Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has left details of the landscape fairly obscure as he depicts vast open skies and a row of houses stretched across a rural land.
A range of soothing neutral earth tones have been used, and the darker to lighter shades transition across the canvas so harmoniously and thoughtfully.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame with red undertones, that contains some minor scuffs. The painting’s small size would make it the perfect addition to a shelf, bookshelf or above a bed side table.

SOLD.
A quintessentially mid century abstract modernist Scandinavian oil composition, painted onto board.
The artist has used a simple yet very effective and rigorous grid composition, where black lines are set against thicker vertical lines in mustard and outlined in blue, over a background of off-white. This geometric grid composition is reminiscent of modernist artists like Piet Mondrian, who also created patterns with syncopated rhythms.
The painting is housed in a very complementary maroon wood frame, that really completes the piece. There are some areas of restoration to the painting, and there are areas of scuffing and paint loss to the frame, as shown in photos.

A soothing mid century lake landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
Soft pastel colours have been applied in an expressive manner, creating a composition of a calming lake scene. There is almost a watercolour-like effect, where the artist has managed to very skilfully capture the reflective nature of the water. The artist has also captured the effect of light and movement in the landscape, giving us the sense that he has painted the picture ‘en plein air’ (the practice of painting a picture outdoors).
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

SOLD.
A brilliantly painted mid century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.
This artwork depicts a male figure dressed in blue, lying downwards with his hand resting on his cheek, as he reads a book.
The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos as the artist has deconstructed this everyday scene down to geometric forms as well as contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space.
The respective geometric shapes have been defined by black outlines as well as expressive diagonal brushstrokes, which further emphasises each individual form and elevates the painting’s overall uniqueness.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some age wear to the inner border but this is in keeping with its overall style and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.
Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite 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.

Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

SOLD.
A large and confidently executed mid century semi abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
In this scene we see four main figures amongst a blur of people – the artist has left out realistic details, and focused instead on colour, form and texture. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.
The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A very confidently executed mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1964.
This distinctly expressionist piece is characterised by free, gestural brushwork, and the paint application is generous and highly textured. Each area of colour appears distinct but yet flows seamlessly into the next, creating this very harmonious composition. The painting has a lot of depth, with several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface.
Although its subject appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that the natural landscape is the source of inspiration.
The painting is housed in a very unique and textured grey frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A semi abstract mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1943.
This unique portrait features an abstracted figure with his hands together, depicted in a painterly style. Loose and broad brushstrokes have been applied in several layers, created a wonderful depth, complexity and illumination to the painting. As we take the time to study the painting, the varying layers slowly reveal themselves, giving us an insight into the artist’s process.
Just as unique as the painting is the frame in which it is housed in. Set in a purple-blue frame with decorative indents evenly spaced around the frame, it adds a real element of interest to the painting and also complements the colour palette of the painting beautifully.
Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is some minor wear to the inner window of the frame but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.
This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.
What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.
The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A bright and spirited mid century abstract modernist oil composition, painted on board.
Large, sweeping, gestural brushstrokes fill the surface, creating a palpable sense of movement and dynamism. Abstract in composition, the artist has focused on texture, colour and mark making, creating a wonderful depth through the use of layers and texture, and incorporating in punches of colour at unexpected points that reveal themselves as we take the time to explore the piece.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame that has a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid century oil, painted onto board.
A row of farmhouses lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above that pan out in to the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.
The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky which mimics the lightest greens of the fields.
There is a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life..
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame, that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of scuff on the frame.

A beautifully executed mid century modernist semi-abstract landscape composition, painted in 1951.
This large oil abounds with depth and texture. Layers of rich pigments have been applied in an array of multidirectional brushstrokes. Each stroke stands out from the other, and yet together they combine to make a perfectly harmonious composition. The artist has painted the landscape in a distinctly expressive and painterly style, encouraging us to enjoy every brushstroke and the creamy layers that have been applied, while still capturing the essence of the rich natural landscape.
The painting is housed in a deep profile champagne coloured wood frame, which brings out the colours in the painting perfectly and has an illuminating effect without being at all overbearing. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses around the edges, including an area to the lower edge which can be inspected in our close up photos.

A large and striking mid century modernist semi abstract still life in oil, painted in 1955.
Large and gestural sweeping brushstrokes contrast against thin, angular outlines in black. 2 bottles in the middle ground are discernible, alluding to the fact that the scene pictured before us is a still life of objects on a table. The artist employs some cubist elements too, flattening out the scene and incorporating multiple views to create this abstracted and fragmented scene.
The painting is housed in a painted wood frame, with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A small but brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life in oil, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1956. A bold and vivid palette of black, yellow and green give this picture its punch. Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for. This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.
The painting is housed in a dark grey tray frame which suits the style and palette of the painting very well. The painting has some slight losses to the outer edges (as shown in photos), but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A very well executed and distinctly mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto board.
With cubist tendencies, the artist has fragmented the scene into a series of curved shapes and lines, almost as though we are looking at the scene through broken glass. The structure of the nets that the fishermen are laying out continues into clothes of the men as well as the surrounding sea and sky. This modernist ethos focuses on formal qualities such as shape, line, form, colour and pattern. The recurring lines and patterns make it fun to spot particular details that could easily go unnoticed unless observed closely, such as the birds in the sky as well as the boats to the left of the composition.
The painting is housed in a lovely wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A panoramic mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
This restful composition depicts a far reaching landscape sitting under blue skies.

This simple yet very effective composition would make a perfect resting spot for our eyes, and would suit a bedroom or living room area very well.
The painting is housed in wide profile frame with a linen-lined border and an inner silver window. The painting has some surface marks but nothing that detracts from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some minor scuffs.

A skilfully executed scenic road landscape composition, executed in oil in 1962.
There is a charming contrast between the top and bottom half of the painting. In the background – we see lush forestry in the distance set against moody and darker tones. On the other hand, the foreground of the painting has an array of colourful earthy shades and has more lively atmosphere.
The artist has reduced and flattened down the road and surrounding landscape into blocks of contrasting colours to create a wonderful sense of depth and width to the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen lining. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

A very pleasant and gentle mid century modernist abstract landscape composition of the South of France, executed in oil onto canvas, painted in 1952.
This abstract landscape composition has been simplified down to coloured shapes in light and soft pastel colours including shades of oranges and greens. As we spend time to study the colours and play on geometric shapes, we can discern what appears to be trees and houses situated on a hilly landscape.
The short and soft brushstrokes pair excellently with the subdued and dreamy colours, enriching the painting with a harmonious and gentle feel.

A small yet very striking mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.
In this well-executed and detailed work of art, there is a strong focus on colours, shapes and form.
Using a muted earthy colour palette, the artist has thoughtfully used contrasting blocks of colours to illustrate two jugs set against a similarly-coloured background. The differing shades help to create a sense of space as well as make the three-dimensionality of the objects more pronounced.
Fine and smooth brushstrokes have been used, and in addition to the stunning colours, there is a sense of warmth and gentleness instilled in the painting.
This oil on board is housed in a mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. There are some marks and minor paint loss at the top of the painting (as it might have been reframed), however the work is in very good vintage condition overall. There are some very minor age spots to the frame.
