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

    Broad, expressive brushwork fills the canvas, creating large areas of vivid, intense colour. A highly emotive painting, this abstract expressionist piece achieves a wonderful balance in layout and colour, and its textured painted surface creates layers of depth.

  • Walking By

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a soothing lighter coloured background, the composition of the painting is punctuated by a group of tall figures in bold and striking colours walking by.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures have been simplified and abstracted down to geometric shapes, painterly brushstrokes, and rich colours.

    Expressive gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist displays and an excellent use of colour. Although working with a limited palette including reds, yellow and orange, he has skilfully applied and layered lighter and darker hues of each colour to create a harmonious, lively and well-balanced painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is in stable condition overall.

    Size: 67 x 100 cm (including frame)

  • The Group

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist semi-abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Here we see a group of figures gathered together, seemingly in conversation. The artist has left out all realistic details, abstracting the figures down into a series of coloured shapes and patters, all set against a background of vivid yellow.

    This large painting would certainly make a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some surface marks to the linen border on the frame, as shown.

  • The Open Door

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and very well executed mid century modernist interior composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Flat planes of colour in a myriad of angles create this very distinctly modernist interior. The traditional method of using perspective to create depth has been intentionally ignored, with the artist focusing instead on using complementary colours and geometric shapes to create a sense of space. The artist has very interestingly concentrated these formal qualities on the surfaces of the interior and its background, but has painted the objects portrayed within the interior in a much more detailed manner. The vase of flowers on the table with the bottles as well a the chair carry a different and more detailed style, which contrasts very well with the more angular shapes of the floor, walls and the view that continues outside.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame and with an inner linen lined border. The painting has some small areas of paint loss, as shown in close ups, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame has some losses to its edges, as shown.

    Size: 82 x 73 cm (including frame)

  • Halcyon Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil in an expressionist manner.

    Dedicate light pastel shades of green, yellow, blue and grey have been used, imbuing the work with softness and calm.

    The artist displays his painterly skills – using expressive and sweeping brushstrokes to add a wonderful textural feel, as well as layering contrasting shades to demonstrate a sense of depth and expansiveness to the painting.

    The subtle colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.

    This oil on is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a thin white wooden frame. There are bits of wear to the corners of the frame, however this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Houses in Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted onto jute canvas (also known as hessian or burlap) which has been laid down to board.

    The jute canvas on which the oil has been applied has an extra rough texture and a pronounced weave, imbuing the piece with a raw and unfinished quality that makes it very striking. The artist has intentionally incorporated the texture of the jute to its overall effect, even leaving the edges unpainted to allow it to show through. This is especially wonderful as it also gives us an insight into the artist’s process – we can feel every brush-drag, and view the base layers of paint he has used. Under the paint we are able to see the grid-like weave of the jute, as well as where the artist’s brush has skipped over its bumps, and the areas where layers of paint have built up on the high points of the weave.

    In addition to its raw quality, the painting has a luminosity that makes it very striking. Deep and rich colours have been set against the background of white, causing them to be even more pronounced. Bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes add a sense of dynamism, and geometric shapes layered one above the other give an unmistakable nod to the cubist movement.

    The painting is housed in a thin grey frame which suits it perfectly and adds to its modern effect. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some some paint marks to its edges but adds to its overall effect and certainly does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Radiate

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and dynamic mid century modernist abstract mixed media composition, painted onto board.

    Using a rich colour palette that consists primarily of shades of red as well as touches of green and orange, this abstract painting is composed of circular patterns. These circles of different sizes, appear to be enveloping outwards and it imbues the painting with a distinct energy, rhythm and movement.

    Thick layers of paint have been applied, and the painterly and expressive brushstrokes add a lovely textural quality to the work.

    This mixed media on board is housed in a white wood frame. There are scattered areas of paint loss across the painting (especially at the top left corner) as well as the frame (particularly to the right outside side).

  • Chalk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet very effective mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted on to canvas.

    The artist has used a range of pastel colours, applied to the canvas in broad and expressive brushstrokes that fill the surface. Each mark is gentle, but considered. There is a wonderful harmony in the colours – each tone sits next to another beautifully. The picture has a very calming feel to it, and the texture and detail make it very interesting to explore.

    The painting is housed in a very well crafted wood frame, which suits the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Exterior (Very Large)

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Measuring over a metre in both width and length, this very large abstract oil composition would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting features large planes of colour, in a very calming palette of blue, grey, brown, white and black. As you study the painting closely, you begin to notice pops of colour within and amongst the sections, such as green, orange and red. The painting is incredibly textured, and features several areas of impasto (where the paint is applied so thickly it stands proud from the surface).  We get a sense of the artist’s movement as he or she works her way across the canvas, moving left and right and up and down. The blocks of colour have been applied in a very considered way, resulting in a very well balanced composition that is very pleasing on the eye.

    The painting is housed in a simple frame that suits its modern look. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The painting has some minor paint loss to the outer edges but these are very inconspicuous due to the style of the painting. The paint layer is very stable overall.

  • Coastal Cliff

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and tranquil mid-century modernist coastal scape composition painted in 1957 and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this picturesque scene of cliffs by a coast, the artist has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details and has reconstructed this composition by reducing the forms down to coloured angular shapes with dark lines as well as painterly brushstrokes.

    Darker muted colours of green, yellow and blue that have been used to depict the cliffs with lush greenery dominate the right side of the painting, and lighter pastel shades of blues and beige depicting the water, sky and sand fill the left side of the painting. The combination of the muted and pastel shades add a very calming and soothing effect to the painting.

    This large painting is housed in a stunning frame with visible grain, and has an inner gilt as well as linen lining. There are 2 tiny spots of paint loss to the left side of the work, but overall, the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Red Quarry

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A very well executed and textured mid century modernist semi-abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

  • Mellow 1

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. The painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.

    Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.

    In this piece, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.

    Her paintings evolve intuitively to find rather than make the work. She continues to build up and simplify until the composition settles cohesively.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Mountain Lake

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A semi abstract landscape view of a mountainous lake scene, painted in oil in 1975. There is an almost sketch-like, unfinished feel to this painting, which adds to its abstract quality.

Large, expressive strokes fill the canvas with swathes of colour, with some several areas painted thinly, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through.

  • Road Trip

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A panoramic and ambient large semi abstract mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    As we let our eyes rest on this painting, it takes us on a journey to a place far away. The view point of the composition is reminiscent of being on a road trip, staring out the window looking at the panoramic landscape laid out before us. A long never-ending road stretches out in front of us, with not a soul in sight. There is a softness and quietness to this painting which makes it such a wonderful picture to transport our minds elsewhere. The simple yet very effective composition combined with the  light and minimal colour palette has a meditative effect.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a very complementary mid century frame with a dark outer edge, and linen lined border and an inner gilt window. It is very effective in drawing our sight inward into the painting, enhancing its meditative effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • On the Fields

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very confidently executed modernist composition in oil, framed and ready to hang.

    Rich and saturated colours fill the canvas, composed in rectangular blocks of contrasting colours. A group of figures are seen seated in the field, presumably taking a rest from a hard day’s work in the field. Both the landscape as well as the figures have been reduced to an outline of forms – the artist has focused on the formal qualities of the scene, emphasising form, colour, shape and line over any realistic details. The result of this is an almost completely abstract composition in non realistic colours that captures the imagination.

    This excellent painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that illuminates the painting beautifully. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Strokes (Very Large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK shipping only.

    Measuring over 1.2metres in heights is this sizeable mid century abstract oil composition, painted in 1956.

    Large swathes of brushstrokes in planes of juxtaposing colour create a composition full of depth and texture. The angle of the planes of colour seem to make the painting recede inwards, creating an almost tunnel like effect towards the centre of the composition. The artist has used a wide brush, leaving the strokes of the brush on the canvas visible. We get a sense of the artist moving his arms as he swashes colour over the canvas in a considered way, bring careful to give each colour its space and prominence.

    The large size, vivid colour palette and textural effect would make this painting a statement piece in any interior.

    This mid century painting is housed in a very well suited frame. The painting has some light craquelure to its surface (commensurate with age and the thickness of the paint) but it is stable overall. The frame is also in good vintage condition.

  • Cadence

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A very large and distinctive mid century abstract oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The artist has not shied away from a dark and heavy palette, applying long and textured brushstrokes in varying shades of black, grey, and brown. The piece is filled with emotion – there is a sense of heaviness and moodiness to it which is just brilliant. We get a sense that the artist is painting in a cathartic manner, expressing his inner feelings onto the canvas. The way some areas of the paint has been allowed to drip down is particularly poignant too.

    This wonderful oil on canvas is housed in a simple wood frame.  There is some light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition overall.

  • Indefinite

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and well-executed abstract composition, executed in oil in 1960.

    With its non-representational and spontaneous appearance, the work is composed with elements of colour, shape, line and form.

    Painterly fluid lines, swift brushstrokes and dabs as well as geometric and amorphous shapes have been repurposed to form this striking cohesive work of art.

    Using an array of warm and inviting earth-tone colours of brown, orange and red, the artist has skilfully distributed and layered the lighter and darker tones – making the overall work very well-balanced.

    The surface of the painting has also been coated with a layer of varnish. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on board is housed in a charcoal grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age) on the top left of the painting, as well as a scuff in the middle. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. As with the frame, there are minor scuffs and a small area of paint loss on the bottom left, as shown in the images.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.
