An excellently executed mid century abstract oil, framed in its original wood frame.
Expressive brushwork is combined with areas of sgraffito (where the artist has used a tool to scratch into the paint) creating a range of textures as well as varying levels of depth. The restrained colour palette as well as discernible differences in methods of paint application give this painting its very raw, organic quality. Despite its abstract composition, we get a sense that the artist was inspired a connection to the natural landscape and terrain.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which complements it excellently. This oil painting has been executed on a canvas sheet, that has been laid on board. Although the edges of the canvas are visible, the painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

A small but outstanding mid 20th century oil painting of a cityscape, painted in an abstract manner.
The artist has skilfully abstracted the city containing buildings, foliage and a river down through the use of contrasting blocks of colours.
Naturalistic shades comprising muted earthy tones of beige, green and blue fill the canvas; and the distribution of contrasting colours not only demonstrate a strong sense of depth to this painting, but make the work well balanced.
Broad and expressive textured brushstrokes have been confidently executed, creating a raw textural effect and enhancing the painting overall.
This gorgeous oil on canvas would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

A subtle and sombre mid-century abstract painting, rendered in oil.
Horizontal planes of neutral colours painted with light sweeping brushstrokes lay across the canvas so harmoniously, enriching the painting with a calming and soothing aesthetic.
Despite its abstract nature, the colour palette and composition of this stunning work could allude to a scene of wetlands on a cold and misty winter’s day.
This oil on canvas is in overall good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) in the painting. It is housed in a thin grey frame, that has some minor marks and scuffs.

A large and well executed mid century landscape in oil, painted on canvas.
A large cottage centres the composition, with other outbuildings surrounding it, flanked by green trees. This cottage is probably located by the sea, as on the right side we can see the tops of masts of docked boats.
This panoramic landscape is wonderfully calm and tranquil, with its expansive layout in deep blues and greens. Its long horizontal layout and restful composition would make it the perfect piece to hang above a bed. The painting has a thoroughly soothing effect.
The painting is housed in its original light wood mid century frame with a wide linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some ageing commensurate with age and widening to corner joints.

A very large and impactful mid century oil, painted on canvas. Painted with a modernist ethos, the artist has used flat planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of space and depth. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and the artist has chosen to focus instead on shape, form and colour. Two figures stand in front of a group of village houses, which are flanked by trees on either side. The composition is very well balanced and a real pleasure to admire, both from afar and close up, offering layers of complexity both in terms of colour and structure.
This wonderful painting is framed in its original large mid century frame, with a hessian lined outer section and an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs to the inner silver section.

A simple yet captivating mid-century winter landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.
A restrained palette of mellow tones have been used, capturing the solitude and cold of the season.
Although the snow-filled pathway forms a large proportion of this picture, our eyes are drawn to the top right corner of the painting upon first glance. These darker shades of the trees first capture our attention, as our eyes then shift focus downwards of the painting as the colours transition to lighter shades.
The artist has worked with the paint dynamically, as the textured painterly brushstrokes add a wonderful raw and textual quality to the overall composition.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which suits it very well.

A beautifully textured mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1962.
The artist has used thick layers of blended colour to build up this expressive composition. Areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) can be seen across the surface of the canvas, giving it a three dimensional and sculptural effect. As we scan the picture, we can almost feel the artist working with his paint, applying thick viscous layers of oil with his brush and blending them together. This painterly style celebrates the medium of oil – artist is revelling in the manipulation of the oil paint itself and making the fullest use of its sensuous properties.
The painting is housed in a very complementary light wood frame with an inner white window. The painting has an area of light craquelure to the top left section (as shown in photos), but the paint is stable overall.

A stunning and emotive impressionist painting depicting a sunrise at sea, executed in oil in 1948. The artwork celebrates the beauty of nature, and is in reminiscent of works by British landscape painter JMW Turner.
Through the careful use of light and colour, the painting displays the artist’s desire to capture the natural atmospheric elements and movement of water created at that particular moment in time.
Combining both a warm and cool palette, one can notice warm light yellows and calming cool blues shifting across the painting. The effectiveness of lighting is achieved though the use of energetic and loose brushstrokes, invigorating the work a sense of dynamism.
This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition. It housed in its original mid-century gilt frame that has light wear, but this is in keeping with its overall look.

A gentle and panoramic seascape in oil, that captures the beauty and solitude of nature.
Painted in an abstract manner, the artist has chosen not to paint in realistic details and instead has rendered a hazy impression of what appears to be a boat in the middle of a vast ocean.
Using a restrained palette of cool blues, white and grey, the work captures a seamless transition of the sea and sky so wonderfully. And the quick and expressive brushstrokes create a blurry feel of that moment in time as well as add a lovely textural quality to the work.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A small but delightful abstract composition painted in mixed media including oil, gouache and acrylic.
The artist has used a variety of paint application techniques to create this composition – the paint has been brushed on, pressed on (with a sponge like material), and also splattered. As a result there are non-uniform areas of pattern and texture, which gives this painting its unique appeal. Although there is an element of spontaneity to the way the paint has been applied, the choice of colours, the layering and harmony, and the combination of textures has been considered carefully.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame ,which has a linen lining and an inner gilt window. The painting has been done on card which has been laid to board. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some very minor age toning to the linen on frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A typically mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.
The artist has used a bold, earthy palette of deep greens, black, dirty yellows and punctuations of white. Although largely abstract and very much subjective in terms of what we can discern, this piece seems to allude to a topographical night time scene of a village. White houses are dotted around amongst valleys and plains, but this rolling landscape has been flattened out by the artist, distorting the sense of space and depth. Whatever one is able to discern, at the crux of it, we see a very satisfying modernist composition of shape, form and colour juxtaposed.
The painting is housed in its original mid century dark gilt frame with an inner white window. Both painting and frame are in very good condition. Please note that there is slight glare in some of the photos as they were taken under natural light.

A restrained muted palette of white, blue, red and black have been used, and these contrasting shades have been thoughtfully laid out and layered upon one another.
The artist has confidently applied broad and painterly brushstrokes in a sweeping manner, creating a wonderful textural effect to the painting.

An impressive mid century abstract painting with varying textural qualities, executed in oil onto canvas.
Abstract in nature, the artwork focuses on stylistic features including form, line, colour and texture.
Contrasting blocks of rich earthy colours including brown, yellow and blue have been applied to the surface, and the work is punctuated by bold gestural brushstrokes in the middle of the painting.
In addition to smooth layers of oil, the artist has used an aggregate on top of oil to create a unique soil resembling textural feel to the surface in the middle section, imbuing the overall work with character.
This oil on canvas has some very minor areas of paint loss, and is in overall very good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary silver floater frame that has markings around, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A bold and typically mid century 1960s abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.
Featuring cubist influences and reminiscent of the style of works by modernist artists such as Pablo Picasso, this abstract in oil comprises a series of shapes and forms in a deep and earthy palette of green, black, brown and yellow and white. The beauty of a work like this is that is very much subject to personal interpretation – one may be able to discern the shape of a snail, but this may not be the case for everyone, some may see a pair of acorns perhaps. Alternatively, it may be a purely abstract composition altogether, and not representative of anything in reality. We are able to just enjoy the fact that the group of shapes in contrasting colours have been carefully laid out, encouraging our eyes to move across the canvas and take in the different pieces making up the puzzle.
This satisfying painting is housed in its original, and very unique, mid century frame with several windows that create a wonderful optical effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An expressive and dramatic mid century coastal landscape composition, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.
Upon first glance, our eyes are drawn to the left side of the painting, where we see a house set within a rocky landscape. This crescendo in the composition then eases downwards as our eyes shift across the landscape towards to the right, where we then catch a glimpse of the sea and the horizon beyond. Our eyes are then carried upwards, towards the lighter but still very moody sky.
Expressive and painterly brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist has used a restrained palette, focusing our attention on the dramatic composition. There is something nostalgic and mysterious about the piece that we think really sets it apart.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century frame with very detailed borders that draw our eyes inwards towards the painting.

A wonderfully textured and expressive mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas.
This painting is powerful and visually striking in appearance, as it is composed with saturated and fiery colours comprising shades of orange, red and yellow that evoke energy and warmth.
The artist has skilfully used the impasto technique – applying thick layers of paint to provide a textural dimension to the artwork. This thick accumulation of paint that lends a three-dimensional quality not only adds character to the piece, but a sense of dynamism too.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century hessian frame with an inner gilt window. There is some general wear to the hessian lining on the frame but this is only noticeable upon close inspection.

A soothing semi-abstract mid century oil painting depicting a coastal harbour. The painting is well balanced with equal visual weight as boats sit on the left on the artwork, and 2 figures strolling on a connecting boardwalk are painted on the right.
The painting demonstrates great depth and width – brought forth by the long multi-directional brushstrokes that sweep across the painting gracefully, as well as through the use of contrasting lively colour that sit beside and layer upon one another beautifully.
This oil on board is housed in a very complementary robust grainy wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very well executed mid century oil portrait, painted onto canvas and framed in its original mid century frame.
A female figure in an azure blue dress sits on a bright yellow chair. All realistic details have been omitted, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as shape, form and colour. Some aspects of this painting are reminiscent of figurative works by Modgliani, such as the elongation of the figure. The artist lengthens her body, keeping her torso parallel with the back of the chair, which has also been elongated, drawing our eyes downwards and creating a lovely sense of rhythm, ease, and restfulness. Behind the sitter we see a patchwork of colour, applied so effectively that it both harmonises and connects the picture, yet still allows the figure and chair to stand out. The combination of flattened space, underlying shapes and colour harmony make up this very well executed modernist portrait.
This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century gilt wood frame which complements the painting brilliantly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This expressive and atmospheric mid century oil on board depicts an abstracted coastal scene with figures. There is a sketch-like quality to the painting, with the figures and structures outlined in thin black strokes, which were probably done free hand on the spot as the artist sketched ‘en plein air’. A distinctly cool colour palette has been used, including blue, green and purple, imbuing the painting with a calming and relaxing feel. The abstracted, suffused nature of the painting gives us the sense that this is almost a hazy memory, perhaps of good times spent by the coast. There is also a rawness to the quality of the painting – we can see the distinct and coarse brush that the artist has used in many areas, where it has also created areas of impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud of the surface), creating a very textured surface.
The painting is housed in a thin gilt frame, which suits the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An emotive and raw mid 20th century abstract painting, executed in oil.
Various shades are depicted converging towards one another, almost in slow motion as the respective colours flow.
Composed with a restrained neutral earthy colour palette comprising shades of grey, green, and red – it imbues the work with a subtle and minimalist nature; however the artist has thoughtfully chosen to paint the area on the right in deep red – enhancing the emotive aspect of the work.
The swift brushstrokes add a sense of dynamism to the piece; and thick areas of paint can be seen, adding a beautiful and unique layer of texture.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary silver wood frame that has some minor marks and scuffs.

A beautifully emotive abstract oil on canvas, painted in 1983.
This impressionist oil captures the misty, foggy feel of the landscape after a heavy storm. Reminiscent of later works by the impressionist artist JMW Turner, this artwork too dispenses the use of hard outlines and any artificial divisions of the visual field that we see in more traditional approaches of realistic painting. Instead, greater prominence is given to the effects of light and atmosphere. Instead of painting the landscape as is, the artist has captured the experience of how we might take in the landscape before us. Smooth. wide brushstrokes sweep across the canvas, in varying layers of blended colour. The sky softly falls upon the darker murkier landscape – we know that soon the heaviness of the post-storm air will dissipate and the light will come again.
The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame that complements it and adds an illuminating effect. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A beguiling and very elegant oil painting on canvas, painted in 1983.
The artist has done an architectural, sketch -like style painting of a church, using a series of angled lines to capture the structure of the building. The artist has condensed the form into an almost abstract depiction, leaving out all realistic details. He has created a distinctly raw and expressionist composition, through the use of a very minimalist palette as well as the unevenness of the medium. He has combined areas of impasto where thicker paint has been used, with areas which are much coarser and that leave the substrate showing through. What at first glance appears to be quick sketch like drawing, is in fact a very well executed and considered composition, whose colours create an illuminating and diaphanous effect.
This gorgeous painting is housed in a simple white frame with an inner gilt window that draws out the colours in the painting further. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A striking mid century gouache and watercolour figure composition, painted in 1955.
A semi abstract depiction of a matador is the focus of this skilfully executed portrait. The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, focusing instead on the outlines, forms, shapes and colours. Behind the figure is an abstracted background – large sections of bright colours juxtapose the figure and give it its context and sense of space and depth. The brushwork on the figure is much more free-form in comparison to the background which is far more structured, creating a striking contrast between them both.
Painted in both gouache and watercolour onto paper, it is framed within a card mount and a solid oak wood frame. The card mount has some slight age toning and the frame has some minor scuffs typical for its age. The painting is in good vintage condition and sits behind glass, as shown.
