  • Teal Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • The Bond

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • En Route

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Coast

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • The Cliff

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Abstract Palette

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Abstract Pots

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Green Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An abstracted landscape of trees, painted in oil onto board. The artist has used a rich and earthy palette of greens, blacks and browns to create this semi-abstract painting. He has focused on form, shapes, patterns and lines, and consciously ignored the reality of a tree filled landscape. Leaves, branches and trunks have been reduced to flat planes of coloured shapes and bold lines. The visible brushstrokes in a matte finish give this painting its distinct mid century modern style, and would stand out in any interior.

    The painting is housed in a simple dark brown wood frame. There are some minor surface marks to both frame and painting, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece, and if anything add to its charm.

  • Lady in a Black Scarf

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century modernist portrait of a lady in a black headscarf, painted onto board in 1957.

    A restrained yet immensely well balanced colour palette has been used, drawing attention to the form of the subject.  Beautifully expressive brushstrokes sweep in and around the figure in pastel colours, creating a translucent, diaphanous effect. The black headscarf that wraps around the figure’s head acts as a focal point and draws the eye to the figure’s face first. Our attention is then drawn downwards  through the use of converging downward pointing brushwork in blue.

    The figure’s stern expression adds character and interest to the piece, and would make for a brilliant statement piece in any interior. The light, soothing colour palette and wood frame would blend in very well in both classic and modern interiors.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner white border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The corner joints of the frame have widened slightly but are stable and do no detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Meadow Houses

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A pleasant and uplifting mid 20th century landscape composition, executed in oil.

    Painted in a semi abstract manner through the use of swift and painterly brushstrokes, the artist has skilfully simplified this composition of houses in a meadow down to blocks of contrasting colours.

    Using an array of lively shades including yellow, blue and green, the artist displays an excellent understanding of colour theory as layers and pairs of contrasting tones sit beside and on top of one another, blending together effortlessly and harmoniously whilst creating a lovely textural effect.

    This composition is highly well-balanced, with the area of the sky and the land having equal visual weight, as the houses gather in the middle of the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a simple light blue frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition overall. There is some very minor craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) present,  commensurate with its age, but the surface of the paint is stable. There is a thin string that wraps around the edge of the canvas (as seen in photos).

  • Red House

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This striking modernist oil painting features bold earthy colours and confident, painterly brushwork. There is an expressiveness in the way in which the artist has painted the landscape –  reflecting the ruggedness of the landscape and the old red houses.  Flat planes of contrasting colour create a sense of depth, and areas of the substrate have been left uncoloured – a reminder of the distinctly modernist ethos that a painting, before it is a landscape of houses and mountains, is first and foremost a set of colours and forms arranged in a certain order on a flat surface.

    The painting is housed in a typically mid century wood frame, with a lined lined border and a gilded inner window. It has some scattered areas of paint loss, as well as at the top corners of the board, but due to the style of the work the paint losses are not remarkable. The painting is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • The Passage

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but striking mid century abstract in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Although largely abstract in composition, we can just about discern a series of buildings, with tall trees dotted in and around them. To the lower left there appears to be a bridge or an aqueduct, where a small area of blue paint perhaps indicates the water running below it. The colour palette of this painting is largely restrained, with deep blues, greys and green taking centre stage. Vertical, downward, and distinct brushstrokes give this painting its modernist feel, and alternating light and dark tones create a sense of depth and space.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, with an inner hessian border. There are small areas of paint losses to the right edge and lower edge of the painting, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame is in good vintage condition.

  • The Wagon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A playful and vibrant scene of 2 figures with a donkey wagon, painted in a fauvist style. The artist has used an array of non-naturalistic colours in loose sections, and has simplified the subjects such that it leans towards abstraction. He has also applied the theory of complementary colours in this painting, where pairs of colours that are opposite each other on a colour wheel are used side-by-side in the painting,  making each other look brighter as a result. There is also a rejection of traditional three-dimensional space, as the artist has instead used flat areas of patches of colour to create a sense of pictorial space, drawing our attention to his use of bright emotive colours, simple shapes and painterly mark-making. We notice also that the artist has intentionally left areas of the canvas uncoloured and showing through.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century dark wood frame with an inner dark gilt border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Winter Blues

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but impactful modernist style winter landscape, executed in oil on board.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artwork depicts a panoramic snow-covered landscape street scene featuring a row of houses and barren trees.

    The artist has used the expressive qualities of colour and brushstroke to convey visual calm as well as the coldness of winter.

    A restrained palette of blue, white and black have been used, and this limitation of colours enables us to strengthen our focus on the various subject matter in the painting as our eyes progress through.

    Furthermore, the long and painterly sweeping brushstrokes add a wonderful textural feel, as well as create a sense of depth in the painting.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century hessian frame with an inner gilt window, and it complements the painting very well. There are some very minor marks on the frame as shown in the images.

  • The Nun

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed large mid century portrait of a nun, executed in oil.

    Displaying elements of abstraction, the artist has flattened and modified the form of the nun, reducing it down to distinct planes of contrasting colours.

    The artwork skilfully emphasises the two dimensional flatness of the canvas, and also displays the artist’s talents in harmonising geometric shapes and an array of muted pastel and earthy colours to create this beautiful work of art.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary dark grainy wood frame with an inner gilt and linen lining. There are minor marks and scuffs on the frame.

  • Forest Lake

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This vibrant picturesque view of a forest lake draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including abstraction, cubism and fauvism.

    As we spend time to study its colours and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye. The artist has thoughtfully used blocks of contrasting rich colours to give rise to the various forms – as we can make out a lush forest being reflected on the clear waters in the lake, with 2 young bare trees growing in the foreground.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and characterful abstract painting, executed in oil in 1973.

    This work of art explores the beauty of colour, line and brushstroke. Using a mix of earthy and rich colours, the artist has thoughtfully selected and painted the respective contrasting tones into blocks of varying shapes with bold outlines, to create this stunning abstract pattern.

    The multi-directional brushstrokes executed vertically, diagonally and in circular motion further adds a light rhythmic touch to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, that has some minor marks.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A poetic and emotive abstract painting, executed in oil in 1987.

    This artwork embodies the spirit of movement through the use of colours and dynamic brushstrokes.

    Beautiful muted pastel and earthy colours dance around the canvas, imbuing the work with passion and energy.

    The artist has used an array of brushstrokes including soft and gentle strokes to more expressive and vigorous strokes, that could perhaps characterise the dramatic dance style of the Tango.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original simple thin wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Vantage Point

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and picturesque modernist style oil painting, presenting a panoramic landscape composition.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artwork depicts 2 figures on a path way, stopping in their tracks to admire the scenic views of white houses on a lush and well-coloured hilltop.

    This composition has been abstracted down through the use of distinct blocks of lively colours that harmonise wonderfully together, and that also demonstrates a sense of depth and width to the painting.

    Lightly textured brushstrokes have been executed on the canvas gently; instilling an overall sense of softness and calm to the work.

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

  • The Vibrant Island

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and energetic modernist style oil painting of Riddarholmen, a small island in central Stockholm, Sweden.

    Rendered in a semi abstract manner, the artist displays his artistic talents by using contrasting blocks of rich colours to give rise to the various forms in this charming landscape, and to create depth within the composition.

    Swift and energetic brushstrokes have been confidently executed, and we can feel feel the liveliness of this vibrant island.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary robust gilt frame that has some scuffs (as shown in the images) but this is in keeping with its overall style.

  • An Encounter

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century oil painting of a standing figure, painted onto canvas in a distinctly modernist style.

    The artist has focussed in on a single figure – a man stands in an alley, looking straight on at us. What would normally be quite confronting is softened and made friendly – the man stands casually with his hands in his pockets. Although his expression is undiscernible, we get a sense that this is a friendly and familiar encounter, someone we know, a father, a grandfather, an uncle.

    The figure is painted against an abstract background, but we can just about make out buildings on either side. There seems to be a luminosity and reflection in the way the artist has painted the background, perhaps a suggestion that it has just rained.

    This large and beautiful semi-abstract portrait is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age toning to the fabric, as shown in the photos, but this is commensurate with its age.

  • Blue Glass

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very elegant medium sized painting mid century floral in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple but very effective composition of flowers (lily of the valley) in a cobalt blue blown glass vase, sitting quietly on a window sill.  The artist has played with shape and form, depicting the vase of flowers against an abstracted background. The colours of the background cleverly correspond with the colours of leaves and vase, creating a wonderful sense of harmony within the picture.

    This abstracted floral oil is housed within its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs to its edges but this is in keeping with its style and age and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

As we look closer at the painting, we are able to discern the thistles of the paint brush moving in varied directions, creating the wonderful textures and colours that appear before us, and giving us an insight into the artist’s process.
