An energetic and atmospheric mid century coastal landscape composition, executed in oil on canvas.
Rendered in a semi abstract and expressionist manner, the artist has skilfully layered planes of contrasting rich colour tones to create depth and interest within this panoramic coastal scape.
Although the broad brushstrokes have been executed in a seemingly loose and rapid manner, they are thoughtful and precise. The lively colour hues give way to this uplifting and energising work.
This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition, with some very minor surface marks typical for an oil of this age. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame. The frame has some minor marks and scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A small yet characterful landscape painting depicting the Southern Alps in Provence , executed in oil in 1973.
In this picturesque view, mountains in the background and greenery in the foreground have been lined in an almost symmetrical fashion, making this composition highly well-balanced.
Semi-abstract in nature, this landscape scene has been simplified down to expressive broad brushstrokes and angular shapes. The artist has used a pastel colour palette to capture the peace and tranquillity of nature.
This oil has been mounted on panel which is surrounded by a simple white wood frame. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition. Its small size would make it the perfect addition to a shelf, bookshelf or above a bed side table.

A very large, modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1967. Vibrant colours, bold outlines, and areas of impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) make up this large composition which features a semi abstract city skyline. The artist has played with geometric shapes and forms, while using large blocks of colour painted in an expressive manner. The painting has a very ‘unrefined’ and ‘raw’ look and feel, typical of mid century modern paintings of this genre.
This large painting is housed in a simple wooden frame which suits it very well. The painting has some scattered areas of surface paint loss which reveal the orange painted layer below but due to the nature of the style of the painting these areas of paint loss add to its character and certainly do not detract from the appeal of the painting.
Size: 68 x 95cm (including frame)

SOLD.
A very large and very striking mid century oil painted on canvas depicting a tree grove by a brook. A deep, rich, earth colour palette has been used – dark greens and browns and oranges are contrasted against the white of the brook and the sky, creating a wonderful sense of depth in the painting. Differing textures can be found across the large canvas, with some areas where the artist has allowed the canvas to show through, and other areas where thick layers of paint and impasto can be found. There is raw quality to the overall composition, and the artist has captured the essence of the natural landscape – the movement of the water in the brook, the light of the sky, and the earthiness of the grass and the trees.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which suits it very well and gives it a slightly more contemporary edge. The large size and expressive style of this painting would make it a real statement feature piece in any interior. Painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

SOLD.
A subtle yet characterful modernist style landscape painted in 1996, that contains elements of abstraction and minimalism.
Upon first glance, this landscape composition of 2 trees may appear simple to the eye. However as we take time to explore the painting further, one can notice its complexity and distinct exploration on geometric shapes, lines and colours.
Using a restrained palette of varying shades of white, beige and orange, the artist has embraced the layering technique – applying colours over one another in a swift yet thoughtful manner to form this wonderfully textured composition as well as to demonstrate depth to the painting.
A playful range of brushstrokes including dots, shorts dabs and thin vertical strokes have been used, adding liveliness and character to the piece.
This oil on board is housed in an outstanding grey and brown frame; and the colours of the frame pair perfectly with the painting as they thoroughly complement one another. There is a slight bowing and unevenness to the board.

A spirited mid century semi abstract oil, painted onto canvas.
Using a restrained palette, the artist has captured the ever changing nature of the coastal landscape and sky – broad, expressive brushstrokes capture the impression of its movement and its transience.
We are able to discern a row of ships far into the distance, but these bend beautifully into the overall composition. There is a satisfying cohesiveness in the picture between the foreground, middle, and background – the coastal rocks, water, ships and sky unify through the brushwork and colour palette.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which complements it wonderfully. The inner gilt window illuminates the panting and brings out its palette and tone. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small mark to the top edge of the gilt section, as shown in the photos.

This large and very well executed mid century oil on canvas is particularly reminiscent of the St Ives school of Modern British art. Although Swedish in its provenance, it is likely that the artist was also inspired by the coastal areas of Sweden, just like the St Ives artists were by the British coastal town of St Ives. Although largely abstract in its composition, we can just about discern coastal elements – the lower half of the painting depicts the sandy shore, and in the middle section of blue we see the water as well as the triangular shape of the sail of boat, and finally the light greyish green of the sky. The artist has chosen to focus on the shape, forms, and colours of the coast as his source of inspiration. Even the textural qualities of the painting which includes areas of sgraffito (the technique of scratching the painted surface to reveal the underlying colours and layers) captures the rough and raw quality of the sandy, rocky landscape. The painting also captures the ‘light’ of the coastal area and has a luminosity in its palette and overall appearance.
The canvas is surrounded by slim wood slats, which then sit within an outer white floating box frame. This unique framing suits the piece wonderfully. There is scattered craquelure to the painting as shown in the photos, but the surface is very stable.

A fantastic and well executed modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
The artwork depicts a group of fruits, a bowl and a pitcher laid out on a surface. Bold and distinct dark lines have been used to create these shapes and form, and a restrained palette that primarily comprises shades of blue, as well as pops of orange, green and brown have been used.
Cubist is nature, the artist has fragmented the objects down and represented them from several angles to highlight their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.
This oil on canvas has has a very minor spot of paint loss. It is housed in a complementary beige frame that has some areas of scuff. Nevertheless, the painting is in overall very good vintage condition.

An uplifting and richly textured mid-century abstract oil composition that explores the wonderful elements of colour and brushstrokes.
What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique, as thick layers of paint have been applied using broad gestural brushstrokes onto the painting surface. With each pass of the brush adds a little more texture onto the dried paint beneath it, leaving to form an imprint of the artist’s brush as well as a raw textural and three-dimensional quality.
What is clearly evident is the artist’s deep understanding of colour. Featuring a dance of elegant and lively shades of blue, green and yellow, the colours have been skilfully layered on top and beside one another, enriching the painting with a harmonious feel.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs and areas of paint residue on the frame.

A well executed mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
This abstract composition features an earthy palette with lovely textures created by thick application of oil paint. The subtle nuances in tones and shades create a rather satisfying composition, encouraging our eyes to follow the expressive brushwork around the canvas. The areas of pronounced impasto add a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the painting.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a lovely hessian border and inner and outer windows in white. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor surface marks, commensurate with age ( as shown in photos). These marks are not obvious and do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A tranquil and visually calming modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil in 1953.
Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape terrain in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes.
The painting demonstrates a subtle dance between colours, as planes of soft neutral shades including sand and green have been used to illustrate the distribution of crop across the terrain as well as to create a strong sense of depth and width in the painting.
Short expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed in a rapid manner, and its textural qualities adds character to the work.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with red undertones and with an inner linen lining. The frame has some very minor areas of marks commensurate with its age.

A bold and striking mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto board.
Multi-directional planes of contrasting colour have been applied through the use of broad and expressive brushstrokes, imbuing the painting with synergy and movement.
Despite its abstract nature, this composition could allude to a nature landscape, with the pops of green resembling hanging vines.
This oil on board is housed in its stunning mid century gilt and silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A seemingly simple yet very effective still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1986.
This well-balanced still life is one that is very satisfying to look at. Two bottles and three terracotta pots sit on a table, casually and quietly. Yet their presence seems strong, solid, and unyielding.
The whole physicality of the piece conveys this same sense of solid-ness. Painted onto thick heavy board and framed in a solid wood frame that has been painted off white, this weighty picture has a very even, matte finish that adds to its overall aesthetic.
Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes. The artist has intentionally left some areas of the substrate showing through, allowing us to see the materiality of the canvas surface, further emphasising the modernist ethos behind his brush.
The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame which illuminates the painting wonderfully. There is some age toning to the left edge of the surface. Otherwise, the painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A very large mid century modernist abstract landscape, painted in oil onto board.
A range of patterns, shapes and colours fill the canvas, making up an abstracted landscape that appears to be houses on the side a mountain. This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.
A figure to the lower right corner punctuates this painting perfectly, drawing attention the fact that although mostly abstracted, this painting still has representational elements.
At over a metre in length, this striking abstract oil would certainly make a statement in any interior. It is housed in its original mid century frame. There is some paint loss to the left edge of the painting (as shown in photos) but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

An expressive and textured mid century oil, painted onto canvas.
This rather mysterious painting features a group of figures gathering and judging from their attire of dark robes, they appear to be monks. There is a real sense of movement within the picture, almost as if it the artist has painted a slightly blurry photograph. We get a palpable sense of the figures walking and gathering. The details of the figures such as their facial features, and the location they are at has been left out intentionally – the artist has chosen to focus on the shapes and forms of the figures, leaving only their silhouettes, juxtaposing their dark robes against the lighter white walls of the building behind them.
Thick layers of paint have been applied with both palette knife and brush, giving the picture a wonderful depth. The artist has used a restrained palette of black, blue, brown and white, which focuses our attention on the forms and figures.
The horizontally long shape of the artwork would make it an ideal piece to hang above a piece of furniture. Its restrained yet deep palette give it a flexibility, allowing it to suit both classic and modern interiors.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffing but this is in keeping with its age and style.

A large mid century oil on canvas of a semi abstract landscape, painted in 1955.
Reminiscent of the 20th century modernist style of ‘fauvism’, this painting features the classic fauve feature of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element. in this picture, the colour establishes a structure within the work without being true to the natural world. Its brushstrokes also carry the fauve style of being short, separated and unblended, creating a sense of movement within the picture.
The painting is housed in a very complementary dark blue floater frame. This frame allows the edges of the canvas to be in full view, with a small gap between the canvas and the frame, giving it a more contemporary look. The painting and frame are in good vintage condition with no outstanding issues.

A striking semi-abstract landscape composition, executed in oil in 1950.
The artist has used a restrained muted palette that consists primarily of blue and green shades to create this soothing atmospheric view of houses in an open landscape surrounded by trees.
Painted in an expressive manner, we see swift and rhythmic brushstrokes dabbed and sweeping across the canvas in a confident manner, imbuing with work a lively feel.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century deep profile wood frame that has some areas of scuffs commensurate with its age.

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.

A tranquil and wonderfully executed mid 20th century landscape street scene composition, rendered in oil in a semi-abstracted manner.
Although pictorial details have been blurred, we can see 2 figures in black and a figure in white on a walkway heading towards a monumental building in the background.
This piece radiates calmness and serenity – brought forth through the use of wonderful subtle and muted pastel tones that transition from one shade to the next so seamlessly and that gives the painting its compositional depth; as well as through the use of gentle and lightly textured brushstrokes.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in an elegant light cream wood and linen frame, and there is minor yellowing to the corners of the inner frame.

A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted on to canvas.
Although largely abstract in style, we are still able to discern that the artist is depicting a landscape. We are able to make out a tree to the left most edge of the composition, as well as a house that sits behind it. Larges swathes of deep and saturated colour line the bottom half of the canvas, making up the foreground of the picture. Beyond that, different shades of blue indicate the sea and then the sky. The artist has used contrasting colours and texture to create a sense of depth and space.
This large oil is housed in a very complementary rustic frame, which suits it wonderfully. This painting would fit well in both classic and contemporary interiors. Its large size and expressive use of colour make it a real statement piece. The painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There are some scattered areas of craquelure, but the paint layer is stable overall.

A large and expressive mid century landscape composition, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.
Upon first glance, our eye our drawn to the left corner of the painting depicting houses on the edge of a cliff. These darker shades first capture our attention, as our eyes then shift focus, making a glance towards the right side of the work, as the colours transition to lighter shades.
Expressive and painterly brushstrokes fill the canvas; and the artist has chosen a restrained palette comprising varying shades of brown, yellow and blue. These mixtures of dark and light tones not only make the work well-balanced, but imbue the painting with both a moody and uplifting feel.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century wood frame with visible grains, and with an inner silver and linen lining. There are some minor marks and scuffs on the frame, commensurate for its age.

A skilfully executed mid century abstract painted in oil onto board. It features a combination of broad brushwork and fluid paint applied both thinly and thickly, creating differing textures and overlays.
Despite its abstract nature, the colour palette and composition could allude to the natural landscape of a coastal scene. The top section of the painting, with its blues and whites, could represent the sea, and the sandy tones of brown, beige, white and black could also be an abstraction of the shoreline. Although we will never know the artist’s source of inspiration or whether or not he intended to represent anything tangible, it is a wonderful process of imagination and freedom to be able to draw our own conclusions and visualise our own personal connections to a particular composition.
This mid century oil is reminiscent of the abstract expressionist works by the artist William de Kooning, whose painting style came to be known as ‘action panting’.
It is housed in a light wood frame, which complements it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large, mid century oil on canvas, painted in a modernist style.
Depicted in a semi-abstract manner, a pair of potted plants sit by what appears to be window. The composition shows the artist’s interest in conveying the physicality of objects and surrounding space, and portrays cubist influences. If we focus our attention on the pots, we notice that they have been fragmented, flattened and abstracted, reduced down to geometric outlines. By breaking the objects and its surroundings down into distinct areas and planes, the artist shows us different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space, suggesting their three dimensional form rather than trying to create an illusion of depth.
The painting is housed in its original mid century deep profile gilt frame with an inner black window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. However, the frame edges have suffered paint and surface losses (as shown in photos), some of which have been repaired and restored. There is some widening to the corner joints.
