  • 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.

  • Emergence

    Sold

    Swift, confident and fluid strokes and splashes of paint fill the canvas with energy, giving it a wonderful texture and three-dimensional feel. Although there is a distinct sense of spontaneity in the overall composition,  the application has been executed in a controlled and intentional manner.

    This acrylic & mixed media on canvas is housed in a complementary silver floater frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Figures at a Pier

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist composition in oil, painted in 1957 by well known artist Ivar Morsing.

    In typical Morsing style, he has chosen to focus on formal qualities of line, shape, form and colour. He creates beautiful harmony on the canvas, applying contrasting blocks of saturated colour to the surface, illustrating his cubist influences which he is most known for. Strong, rich, and vivid colours of orange, red and white are set against a sky blue. The chosen palette and the was he has placed the complementary colours gives each shade and tone its own prominence.

    This stunning oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there are some age spots and scuffs on the frame.

  • Gold Dust

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    Dynamic strokes of layered colour create this painting full of depth and detail. The artist pours expressive emotion onto the canvas, resulting in this abstract expressionist composition that is very striking. The painting features several areas of impasto, where we see thickly applied paint and distinct brushstrokes, giving us a sense of the artist’s gestural movements.

    This painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs that do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • 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.

  • Ladies Lunch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking and brilliantly mid century cubist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting depicts two female figures seated at a balcony table, with a jug and two glasses in front of them. Beyond the balcony is an ocean view with the setting sun.

    The artist has reduced the scene down to its formal qualities, focusing on shape, line, pattern and colour. The figures and the scene surrounding them have been painted from multiple angles under a cubist ethos, resulting in a composition that appears fragmented and abstracted. The artist has also restricted his colour palette, using a majority of vivid red, brown, white and orange in different tones. Notwithstanding the fragmentation and palette, the painting is wonderfully balanced and sings with harmony.

    This piece would make a very striking addition to any interior and would be a real statement piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some damage to the inner section of its lower right corner, as shown in the close up photos.

    Size: 50 x 86 cm (including frame)

  • Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very striking mid century abstract modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1955.

    Blocks of colour skilfully contrasted against each other create a sense of depth and space. The artist has reduced what appears to be a mountainous landscape down to an abstract layout of coloured blocks, focussing on form, shape, pattern and line. We can almost feel the artist at work – creamy layers of paint applied with his brush, one stroke at a time, his wrist moving in a series of angles.  Punches of strong, deep colour juxtapose against lighter, creamier, areas. This painting is  indeed a very satisfying one to appreciate.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Still Life with Lemons

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century still life composition in oil, painted in 1962.

    This still life features a beautifully textured surface, with the artist using very thickly applied layers of paint to create areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. In this composition, we are able to discern a group of lemons and limes in a white bowl, but the artist has left out realistic detailing, focusing instead on the texture and colour of the objects and background. There is a deliciousness and tactility to the creaminess of the thick paint, almost as if the artist is using the medium of paint itself to capture taste and texture of the pictured fruit.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Smile

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully fun and playful original artist’s proof lithograph, signed by Leif Sylvester and inscribed ‘E.A’ (épreuve d’artiste) to the bottom.

    An artist proof print has a connection to limited edition prints. These prints are used as a test print by the artist and kept for their personal collection. Traditionally the artist would take the proof straight off the printing press and amend the colours and quality. Then, once the artist was happy with the proof, they would then proceed with the limited edition print.

    Artist Proofs are generally valued higher than other prints in the edition, due to the rarity and small quantity of them. Oftentimes the Artist Proof are altered from the final edition, creating a uniqueness to them that is very desirable.

    This lithograph is housed behind glass in a complementary silver frame. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • The Curve

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A rich and vivid mid century modernist abstract abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this typically mid century piece, orange, purple and black forms interlock and intertwine, creating a rhythmic pattern that is very satisfying to look at. The middle section of the composition has a vertical line of brown, splitting the composition into two halves.

    This large abstract oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame which suits the piece well and illuminates it. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is a small chip to the top right of the frame, as shown in close ups, but it does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Gather

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and elegant mid century painting by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, executed in oil onto board.

    Gentle yet expressive brushwork with precise strokes and a subtle blending of a rich palette comprising shades of yellow, white and brown fill the canvas.

    The artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

  • Autumn Wood (Very Large)

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

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

    This very large painting has much to offer. Spanning 1.13metres in length, it oozes details. Thick and gestural brush strokes of paint in a myriad of autumnal colours encourage our eyes to slowly peel away each layer, taking us on a journey into the depths of this wooded landscape.

    We love how the bottom half of the composition is abstract, yet perfectly captures the essence of the natural forest and its floor teeming with fallen leaves and wildlife.

    The painting is housed in a really robust distressed frame that has hints of red, green and black, bringing out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some general wear that is in keeping with its overall style.

    Size: 73 x 113 cm (including frame)

  • Colour Grid

We get a sense of the movement and motion of the artist’s hand and the way in which they have applied the paint. The colours used are bold, bright and saturated, and work brilliantly together.

    The painting on canvas is housed in a box frame which adds to it more contemporary look. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Yellow Fields

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

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

    Rural fields of yellow sit underneath a light blue green sky, stretching out far into the distance. A white farmhouse sits quietly in the centre, punctuating the composition ad giving the layout its balance and harmony. Despite the majority of the composition being painted in yellow, the artist skilfully shows us how just one colour in varying tones and shades can still provide so much depth and interest. We see the broad, expressive brushstrokes marked across the canvas, capturing the movement an dynamism of the natural landscape.

    This striking painting is housed in an equally striking frame, which houses it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Garden

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century cubist landscape in oil, painted in 1957.

    We can just about make out a group of houses or sheds with a garden in front of it, but this view has been reduced and flattened down into abstract blocks of colour. Rather than painting the view before him in realistic detail, the artist has chosen to focus instead on the formal qualities of the landscape, such as colour, line, shape, form and pattern. With expressive brushwork, the artist has skilfully used colour theory and has applied a myriad of colours that contrast but harmonise at the same time.

    This very well executed painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good condition. There is some age wear present to the frame.

  • Winter Blue

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A really striking abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1995.

    The artist has used broad, expressive and gestural brushwork to depict this composition, using a colour palette that captures the very essence of the cold icy landscape of winter. There is a palpable sense of movement and rhythm within the work – we can imagine the artist’s hand working back and forth, creating a myriad of marks and strokes on the paper. The colours used are also fascinating to explore – as we look closely at the work, a multitude of colours that appear through the layers of paint begin to show themselves.

    This oil is protected behind glass and as such, getting close up photos of the textures and depth proved tricky. The painting has wonderful areas of impasto (where the paint is applied so thickly that it stands proud from the surface), and a whole range of textural details.

    This oil is housed in a white frame and is protected behind glass. Please not that some reflection of the glass is evident in the photographs. The painting has a very small area of surface paint loss when viewed close up, but due to the expressive style and colours of the piece this loss is not very noticeable. It is otherwise in a good and stable condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

  • Mix & Match

    Sold

    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.

  • Still Life with Bottle

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life composition, painted in oil and dated 1954.

    Featuring a wine bottle on a table top, the artist has flattened all the elements and has reconstructed this painting in an abstract manner through the use of distinct blocks of warm earthy colours as well as expressive brushstrokes.

    Contrasting rich shades of brown, yellow and blue fill the canvas, and the use of broad painterly multi-directional brushstrokes adds a wonderful texture and gives the illusion of depth to the painting.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age). Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.
