    Sold

    SOLD

    An emotive and brilliantly executed mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    Executed in an abstract manner, the scene is rendered through a masterful reduction of form, where blocks of contrasting colours intersect to create depth and intensity. The limited yet rich palette, coupled with expressive brushstrokes, evokes a profound emotional resonance, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the drama and passion of the bullfighting spectacle.

  • Clam

    Clam

    Sold

    SOLD

    A unique and captivating oil on canvas by contemporary Irish artist Jenny Belton.

    Featuring a clam shell on a round box under a spotlight, this painting by Belton is a comment on the rarity of wisdom. In Belton’s words, “The chances of finding a perfect round pearl in a clam are 100,000 to 1. Wisdom is as rare.” The clam shell here is closed so the question remains as to whether or not there is a pearl to be found within.

    The painting is unframed but can be hung as is. It is in very good condition.

    Jenny Belton is artist based in Dublin, Ireland and has been painting, drawing and making from a young age. Her main inspiration is mid-century art, sculpture, design and architecture in addition to abstract expressionism and the fauvist movement . She drawn to art that is accessible, inclusive and nostalgic and hopes to capture this in her own work.

  • Seated Trio

    Seated Trio

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed semi-abstract figurative oil composition, painted in 1964 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 presents three seated figures set against a backdrop filled with warm colours.

    Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist’s deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on brushstrokes and colour. And as we glance across the figures from left to right, their forms become more abstract.

    The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting. And the clever use of a limited colour palette of rich brown and orange tones in subtle variations helps to unify the composition and create depth and three-dimensionality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary black-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

    The early days of the year, treading muddy fields, grey lifeless skies. Warm pinks and soft yellow hiding in the midst of sepias, umbers and russets, this is the colour of Imbolc. A season of waiting, reflection, cosy jumpers, bitter cold puddles as big as ponds, impatience and planning.

    Terrace

    Sold

    SOLD

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

    Although largely abstract, we can just about discern a scene of several terraced houses.

He has used a warm and rich palette of terracotta red, orange and black. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and texture throughout the composition.

    The painting is on stretched canvas and can be hung unframed. There is some scattered craquelure and general age wear that is commensurate with age, but the painting is stable and looks good overall.

  • Pot & Bowl

    Pot & Bowl

    Sold

    SOLD

    A captivating mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

    The focal point is a blue pot nestled within a larger bowl, both sitting atop a dark wood brown surface, and set against a cream backdrop.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting colours, to demonstrate a sense of depth and dimension.

    The colour palette features muted and subdued shades of brown, blue, and cream. Each hue is carefully selected to complement the overall aesthetic, creating a harmonious balance throughout the piece.

    The expressive and textured brushstrokes of the pot and bowl add a dynamic energy to the scene, imbuing the objects with a sense of presence. In contrast, the smoother brushstrokes of the surrounding elements provide a serene backdrop against which the central forms shine.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary painted wood frame. There is a very small pin hole to right edge of painting as shown in the close up but this does not detract from overall attractiveness of the piece. The painting is in very good vintage condition otherwise.  The frame has some scuff marks but is in good condition overall.

    Through the use of sweeping broad strokes that have been confidently executed, swathes of bright orange, deep purple, golden yellows, and vibrant blues and greens blend and overlap, creating a sense of movement and energy that suggests the lively vibrancy of a floral arrangement in full bloom.

  • Abstract Fields

    Abstract Fields

    Sold

    SOLD

    A beautifully textured mid-century landscape composition that captures the beauty of the natural world rendered in abstract form, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959 in Roman numerals.

    Abstract in nature, the painting has been divided and reduced into distinct blocks of contrasting colours. In the foreground, we can discern greenery with crops and trees. Behind them, fields of gold stretch into the distance.

    The artist has used a soothing soothing and atmospheric palette comprising shades of soft yellow and green.

    Powerful brushstrokes have been executed with vigour and confidence, imbuing the scene with a dynamic quality, as if the landscape itself is alive with vitality, as also imparting a tactile quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white window.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. 

    Size: 49 x 68.5 cm (including frame)

  • Fruit Frame

    Fruit Frame

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A captivating semi-abstract still life composition with a minimalist vibe, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Against a backdrop of soothing grey, a block of tranquil blue provides contrast, framing the centerpiece. Within this space, three fruits – a pear, a red apple, and a green apple emerge. Simple yet effective in its composition, all realistic details of the fruit have been omitted, and they are depicted with expressive, painterly brushstrokes, and with bold curves and rich colours.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary beige wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick to its top edge.

    Size: 30 x 39 cm (including frame)

  • Geometric Harmony

    Geometric Harmony

    Sold

    SOLD

    A wonderfully textured mid-century geometric abstract composition executed in oil and dated 1966.

    The artist has deconstructed the painting down into blocks of geometric shapes and colours. The palette is a delightful mix of uplifting tones, including shades of green, orange, pastel pink and blue, complemented by creamy hues. These colours harmonise seamlessly, creating a visually captivating experience.

    The brushstrokes are distinct and textured, yet smooth, lending the artwork a unique character and beautiful tactile quality.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited black frame with an inner silver window. The painting has some craquelure and age toning present, and the frame has age wear and marks.

    Size: 61 x 72 cm (including frame)

  • Pure Shores

    Pure Shores

    Sold

    SOLD

    An energetic and beautifully textured abstract mid-century coastal landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the painting presents a panoramic view of a coastal landscape executed through the use of long and expressive brushstrokes. These long strokes sweep horizontally across the canvas very powerfully powerfully, leading our eyes from the sea on the left of the painting, to the shore, and followed by cliffs with some greenery on the right.

    The use of light and muted colours including shades of blue, white, black, and green enriches the work with tranquillity, and the painting has a very soothing aesthetic overall.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner cream window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age marks present.

    Size: 33 x 70 cm (including frame)
