Never Apart

Sold

SOLD

A large and very well executed mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas by 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 painting features two abstracted figures, standing close together against a colourful and dynamic background. The composition uses bold colour blocking and simplified forms to convey the scene with an expressive and modernist approach.

Their poses suggest closeness, with the figure on the right slightly leaning and holding the hand of the other, evoking a sense of connection or companionship. The lack of facial features allows the viewer to focus on the interplay of form and colour, making the figures universal and evocative.

The painting employs a vibrant, contrasting palette with bright greens, blues, yellows, and oranges for the figures’ clothing. A background of muted greys interspersed with curved, colourful shapes in purple, turquoise, red, and yellow. The overall effect is lively yet harmonious, with the background colors creating a sense of movement around the static figures.

This painting is a striking example of abstract modernism, using bold colours and simplified forms to explore themes of connection and companionship. The dynamic background contrasts with the stillness of the figures, creating a harmonious yet playful balance. Its faceless figures and universal forms invite the viewer to interpret the emotions and relationships at play, making it an engaging and thought-provoking work.

This large oil is framed in a thin, silver-toned frame that complements the painting’s contemporary style. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Pathway Through Winter

Sold

SOLD

A subdued and expressive mid-century modernist winter landscape composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1965 on reverse.

The painting presents a meandering path cutting through a snow-covered landscape. A row of abstracted trees line the pathway, their dark, angular forms contrasting against the muted tones of the snowy ground. The perspective leads the viewer’s eye into the distance, creating depth and a sense of quiet movement.

The artist has used a bold and expressive style, using gestural brushstrokes and a restrained colour palette. Earthy browns, soft greys, and off-whites dominate the board, with hints of deep green and blue adding depth and mood. The brushwork is thick and textured, applied with a confident hand, giving the painting a sense of energy despite its tranquil subject matter.

This oil on board is housed in a very well suited wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing, but nothing that detracts from overall attractiveness.

Executed in an expressive manner, the composition depicts a home interior setting of a room, and an open window presenting a view outside as well as being a light source casting angled shadows across the floor and walls.

The colour palette is subdued, consisting primarily of earthy tones—dark greens, muted oranges, and beige hues as well as contrasting dark shades of brown and black. These colours give a calm, almost melancholic feel to the piece.

The masterful use of the impasto technique adds depth and dimension to the painting as well as a textile quality. Each textured and forceful stroke is imbued with a palpable sense of movement and emotion, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

Sold

SOLD

A peaceful and atmospheric mid-century modern landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures the serene beauty of a reflective body of water, surrounded by lush fields and distant mountains.

The colour palette consists of cool blues, deep greens, and muted earthy tones, creating a harmonious and calming aesthetic.

This oil on board is set in a frame with a complementary gilt frame with multiple ridges. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is very light scuffing to frame, but this does not detract from its overall appearance which is very good.

Abstract Fishermen

Sold

SOLD

A very well executed semi-abstract mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

In this composition we see myriad of shapes and forms that come together seamlessly like a puzzle. What appears to be a scene of fishermen has been distributed across the canvas in a fragmented and abstracted way. There are figurative elements that we are able to identify, including two human figures as well as fish and water. But the artist has chosen to combine these elements in a cubist like manner, reducing everything to geometric outlines and shapes in different colours. The artist shows different viewpoints simultaneously, emphasising the flatness of the canvas, instead of creating the illusion of depth.

The colour palette is deep and rich, but is largely minimal, concentrating mainly on subdued tones of blue, grey, brown and green, with subtle hints of yellow and pink. The brushstrokes are visible, creating texture within the piece.

The oil on canvas is housed in an original mid century frame with has a linen border and painted grey edges. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor signs of wear but is in very good condition overall.

Sold

SOLD

An abstract contemporary painting titled Carn Galver, inspired by the historic mining landscapes of Cornwall, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 2024 by British artist Bo Hilton (b.1961), son of the famous British modern artist Roger Hilton.

Through a restrained yet expressive composition, the artist captures the essence of Carn Galver’s natural and industrial history.

The artist has used a soft and earthy colour palette, combining muted greens, greys, pink, and whites that resemble nature landscape and soft skies. The occasional black and deep brown shapes add contrast and depth, suggesting the presence of mining structures.

The artist’s brushwork balances textured layers with delicate blending.

Overall, the work is contemplative as it balances abstraction with a sense of place. It does not rely on literal representation but instead captures the spirit and natural beauty of the location.

Tabletop Ensemble

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century still life composition that contains elements of cubism and abstraction, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

The artist has deconstructed everyday objects—like pitchers, cups, and tables—into geometric shapes and overlapping planes, creating a layered, fragmented perspective that invites viewers to explore multiple dimensions simultaneously.

The colour palette is a blend of muted, earthy tones, such as olive green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, and dark teal, combined with accents of grey and black. These colours contribute to a warm yet restrained atmosphere. The shapes are outlined and juxtaposed with tonal shifts, which gives depth to the flat surfaces.

Windswept

Sold

SOLD

A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

This painting captures the fluidity and energy of a coastal scene through bold brushwork and a harmonious colour palette. Its semi-abstract approach makes it open to interpretation, but the sense of movement, the presence of sails, and the interplay of water and land evoke a windswept, maritime atmosphere. The artist’s use of colour and texture creates an evocative, immersive experience, making the piece feel both natural and expressive.

The painting has a dynamic, layered composition, where different elements blend into one another. The paint is applied thickly and expressively, using loose, gestural strokes to create a sense of movement. The blending of colours and textured application give the painting a dreamlike, atmospheric quality. The edges of the forms are intentionally soft and undefined, allowing the viewer’s eye to explore the painting freely.

The painting leans toward abstract impressionism, focusing more on capturing the essence of the scene rather than realistic details. The interplay of colour and texture suggests an artist interested in emotion and energy rather than precise representation. The scene may depict a harbour, a rocky coastline, or a windswept landscape, but its abstract nature allows for varied interpretations.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has light scattered craquelure present due to thickness of paint, but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some scuffs and light wear .

A Snake in the Grass

Sold

SOLD

A fun and edgy one-off original digitally manipulated monoprint sandwiched between a custom perspex frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

This is a digital monoprint (only one exists, it is original and one-of-a-kind) of a scanned in monoprint, which was digitally edited and manipulated. Through the digital editing process Olivia is able to have greater control over the specific colours and textures, emphasising the textural quality of the ink, increasing the scale and saturating the colours, creating a more dynamic dialogue between the lines, forms and colours.

The light qualities of the perspex frame (a frosted green back panel and a tinted clear yellow front) work with the colours within the piece, making the image seem different in every lighting condition. The coloured perspex frames reflect the playful approach Olivia takes when creating each piece. Everything she does is completely unique and different every time.

This composition explores juxtapositions, both formally and conceptually, between two different environments – the urban city and the rural countryside. The straight and angled lines allude to the urban cityscape, while the curved and more organic forms are remiscnent of the rolling countryside. Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This digitally manipulated monoprint is presented within two layers of coloured perspex that are part of the artistic process. The perspex frames are custom made to accompany the print that is in them – the colours of the front and back panels are chosen to compliment and work with the colours in the print. Spilt batons are on the reverse so it is easily attachable to the wall and they are positioned in all four directions on the reverse, so that you can choose the direction it is hung. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

An outstanding mid-century still life composition in the style of abstract expressionism, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is filled with loosely defined everyday objects, whereby the artist has reimagined them as abstract shapes and forms. The arrangement is dense, giving the painting a sense of fullness.

Abstract expressionist in nature, the painting conveys emotions through colour and shape, rather than through realistic representational forms.

The colour palette consist of muted tones with contrasting pops of striking reds and orange.

Sea Solitude

Sold

SOLD

A moody and atmospheric mid-century seascape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter appears to be a coastal scene featuring a tumultuous sea. At the center of the composition is a small, bright red sailboat, providing a striking focal point amidst the otherwise somber palette.

The style leans toward expressionism and abstraction, focusing on emotion over realistic details. The artist has used a loose, impasto technique, where thick layers of paint create dynamic textures that give the sea and sky an almost tactile quality.

The palette is restrained, predominantly composed of monochrome shades of grey which dominate the sea and sky, conveying a stormy or overcast mood. The splash of red in the sailboat contrasts sharply, drawing the viewer’s eye.

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

Movement

Sold

SOLD

A fun and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

This monoprint is created from three stencils layered on top of one another, each in a different colour and of different forms. When examined closely, there is a lovely complexity to the artwork as the thickness of the ink of the final layer (dark blue) almost has a three dimensional quality, yet it is more transparent compared to the green opaque layer beneath. The mixture of the curved and straight lines accentuate one another through their contrasts.

The Pink Umbrella

Sold

SOLD

A enchanting and vibrant mid-century modernist landscape composition that combines elements of fauvism and abstraction, painted in oil onto board.

The setting appears to be a dreamlike outdoor landscape, where a female figure in a flowing blue dress holding a pink umbrella is the focal point. Within the landscape, we can spot some houses and monuments, as well as a shadowy, ambiguous figure on the left, adding intrigue to the scene.

Exhibiting elements of fauvism, the artist has used bold and vibrant colours to evoke mood and atmosphere. A striking palette of non-naturalistic colours such as the vivid pinks, blues, and yellows, have been used, imbuing the scene with vibrancy.

The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, emphasising energy and movement. Although they appear unrestrained, they are thoughtful and precise.

Cubist Interior

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century still life composition with strong cubist influences, painted in oil onto board.

The composition features a chair, a lemon, a table, and a vase with elongated green leaves, set against a structured interior setting.

Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully flattened and fragmented the scene down to distinct geometric planes and angular shapes that interact with one another. Each respective shape seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by browns, creams, and subdued pinks, contrasted by a pop of green from the leaves and the yellow accent from the lemon on the table. These contrasting darker and lighter tones highlight the three-dimensional qualities of each object, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some minor surface marks, and the frame has some light scuffing.

Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has worked with simplified shapes and bold outlines.

Broad, confident brushstrokes give the work a expressive quality. The artist has used a limited yet effective colour palette dominated by muted blues, blacks, and earthy tones, with bold red accents. These contrasting colours work together to create a sense of depth and draw attention to specific areas of the composition.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Size: 42 x 48 cm (including frame)

SOLD

A captivating and emotive mid-century abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Although abstract in nature featuring blocks of contrasting colours, the composition evokes a sense of serene natural landscapes interpreted through an expressive lens. The organic forms within the painting seem to hint at hills, pathways, or architectural silhouettes, while remaining intentionally ambiguous, inviting the viewer’s imagination to complete the scene.

the artist has confidently applied broad, gestural brushstrokes, with an emphasis on texture. This impasto technique gives the painting a sense of depth, and a wonderful tactile quality.

The colour palette comprises a mix of muted shades – with subdued earthy tones and light pastel shades harmonising beautifully and crating a soothing atmosphere.

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