    Constructed Balance

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century modernist abstract oil composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Bengt Delefors (1917-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Borås Art Museum, and others.

    This abstract still life composition has been reduced to bold, geometric forms and overlapping planes of colour. A circular form rests against angular shapes, suggesting the presence of everyday objects reimagined through abstraction. The composition is carefully balanced, with diagonal strokes introducing movement across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century abstract style, the work embraces simplification and geometric reduction, drawing on the principles of Cubism while leaning into a modernist emphasis on form and structure over representation.

    The palette is earthy yet dynamic, dominated by deep greens, muted browns, and bold blocks of red, offset by neutral tones of beige and cream. The interplay of darker and lighter hues creates depth and tonal contrast, giving the surface both rhythm and solidity.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, with areas of thickly applied paint and visible strokes that enhance the painting’s sense of immediacy and physical presence. The layering of opaque and semi-opaque colours builds a structured, tactile surface.

    This oil on board is presented in a characterful wood frame. The painting and frame is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

    Astrid

    £855

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist style figurative composition that presents a contemplative nude figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    The figure, constructed through broad angular planes and softened edges, is seated in a relaxed pose, one leg bent and the torso subtly twisted – creating a gentle rhythm that guides the viewer’s gaze through the composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet warm palette of ochre, sienna, and earthy umber, the body is set against a backdrop of powder blue, grey, and dusty taupe. This juxtaposition of warm and cool tones imbues the painting with both emotional tension and visual calm.

    The brushwork is expressive but controlled, with textured applications of paint that oscillate between opaque coverage and dry-brush translucency, revealing the wood grain beneath. There’s a tactile quality to the strokes – layered, scraped, and directional – that accentuates the structural anatomy of the figure while maintaining abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting’s surface exhibits areas of craquelure, consistent with age. While the paint layer remains stable across most of the canvas, there is some instability noted in the central section beneath the figure’s chest. The frame is in good vintage condition. 

    Size: 82.5 x 68.5 cm (including frame)

    A bold and enigmatic mid-century figurative portrait, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The composition depicts a simplified and abstracted figure with a frontal, mask-like face. The facial features are distorted, emphasising expressive shapes and tones rather than realism. Containing elements of expressionism and abstraction, there is a strong emphasises on emotional resonance, as opposed to detailed representation.

    The artist has used a palette that is earthy yet muted, with dominant tones of green, pink, and brown contrasting against a textured, light sky-blue background.

    The brushwork is bold and expressive, with thick, impasto strokes that create a textured surface.

    Interaction

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant geometric abstract composition that explores form and interaction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting features a dynamic arrangement of amoebic shapes in overlapping layers. The subject matter is intentionally non-representational, evoking the energy of human presence or social exchange through softened silhouettes that seem to drift, merge, or dance within a flat pictorial space.

    Rendered in bold blocks of solid colour – striking red and orange, yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum – the forms float atop a simplified two-tone background of blue and green, suggestive of sky and earth. The palette is both playful and intentional, using contrast to create visual depth without shadows or gradients.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and minimally textured, allowing the flatness and precision of each colour field to hold compositional tension. The overall effect is a harmonious yet enigmatic piece that invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between shape, space, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks (as pictured).

  • Evening Harbour

    Evening Harbour

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid-century painting that presents a serene harbour scene with moored boats set against softly shifting reflections of water and sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    The artist has abstracted the forms of vessels and docks into interlocking geometric planes, capturing the essence of the harbour through suggestion rather than detail.

    Executed in a restrained yet harmonious palette, the work features muted ochres, warm browns, dusty blues, and gentle greens, punctuated by touches of rust-red along the hulls. The brushstrokes are broad and confident, laid down in flat, layered planes that create a rhythmic balance between solidity and fluidity. This compositional approach emphasises structure and form, while the softened edges convey an atmosphere of calm observation.

    In true mid-century style, the painting has reduced naturalistic detail in favour of tonal harmonies and simplified shapes, evoking both modernist abstraction and lyrical impression.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain and an inner gilt and cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Houses on the Horizon

    £565

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing modernist painting that depicts a stylised horizon where three houses rest quietly in the distance, painted in oil onto board and dated 1970.

    The scene is reduced to bold horizontal bands of colour, evoking the sweep of open fields, sky, and distant land. The houses appear as simplified, block-like forms  – dark silhouettes accented with white and red – standing in quiet contrast against the rich layers of the landscape.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work emphasises abstraction and rhythm over detail, distilling the essence of farmland into pure forms.

    The brushwork is measured and horizontal, with deliberate layering that builds subtle depth while maintaining a calm and minimalist aesthetic. The simplicity of line and form imbues the painting with a contemplative, timeless quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary off-white painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.

  • Cubist Interior with Chair

    Cubist Interior with Chair

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents an abstracted interior scene rendered in a cubist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The composition is built from interlocking geometric blocks of colour, suggesting architectural forms, furniture, and a seated figure to the right. The artist breaks the interior down into a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles and planes, creating a layered sense of depth while preserving a flattened, modernist aesthetic.

    The palette is dominated by muted mauves, greys, and blacks, enlivened with striking accents of cobalt blue and deep crimson. These colours are applied in confident, opaque blocks, their edges sometimes softened by visible brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand. The brushwork is assertive, giving the impression of both structure and spontaneity.

    Hints of a chair, a table, and a figure are discernible but dissolve into abstraction, leaving the viewer to navigate between representation and geometry. This work reflects the mid-century embrace of cubist abstraction, balancing formal rigour with expressive colour.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as well as losses as shown in the photos.

    Cubist Picnic

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking painting that presents a lively outdoor dining scene interpreted through a playful Cubist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1986.

    Fragmented figures and objects – plates, cutlery, food, and bottles -are reassembled into a bold, geometric composition. Faces, limbs, and tableware overlap in dynamic angles, giving the impression of multiple perspectives unfolding simultaneously.

    The palette is vibrant and saturated. Sharp contrasts of colour planes create rhythm and movement across the canvas, while the artist uses flat, angular brushstrokes to emphasise form over realism. Details like a patterned dish of food, a bottle of salt, and stylised trees in the background contribute to the sense of narrative within abstraction.

    Executed in a flattened, semi-abstract style characteristic of Cubist and post-Cubist traditions, the work balances playful energy with structural harmony.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has a mark on its right side but this does not affect its overall attractiveness, and the frame has some small scuffs present.

    £780

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vivid and vibrant semi-abstract still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    This vibrant still life painting bursts with energy, colour, and texture. Executed in thick, expressive strokes of oil paint, it depicts a lively arrangement of fruit—a watermelon, pears, and an apple—set around a bold white jug or vessel.

    The palette is dominated by fiery oranges and reds, offset by cool greens, blues, and earthy neutrals, creating a striking visual rhythm. The artist uses impasto technique, layering paint thickly so that the surface itself becomes dynamic and tactile, almost sculptural.

    Forms are loosely defined and semi-abstract, with bold black outlines and simplified shapes that emphasise movement over realism. The objects tilt and overlap in a way that feels playful and spontaneous, reflecting the modernist influence of mid-20th-century European still life painting.

    The overall effect is joyful, bold, and full of life—a painting that doesn’t just capture objects but transforms them into a celebration of colour and form. Its golden frame heightens the sense of richness and drama, making it a striking statement piece for any interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

    Afternoon Lesson

    £615

    Available

    Free UK Shipping only.

    A large and outstanding mid-century modernist abstract 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.

    The painting captures a tender moment between two figures, likely an adult and a child, engaged in a shared activity – perhaps reading – on a pale yellow surface held between them. The figures are rendered with bold black contour lines and simplified geometric forms, evoking a quiet intimacy and emotional restraint characteristic of modernist abstraction.

    The palette is soft yet expressive, with cool mint green and powder blue balanced against pale yellow, white, and black. Textural brushwork adds depth, especially in the background and garment areas, where layers of impasto reveal the artist’s hand. The faceless figures and stylized forms invite universal interpretation, evoking themes of mentorship, learning, and companionship without prescribing a specific narrative.

    Executed with a controlled yet expressive brush, this work speaks to the elegance of restraint – where every shape and colour block carries emotional weight.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

    £840

    Available

    Free UK Delivery Only.

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

    Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

    This artworks is a two layered monoprint which creates new lines and curves through the simple layering. This allows each shape to emphasise its own individuality.

    Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

    It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

    Size:  61 x 44 cm (including frame)

  • Geometric Collage with 4 Circles

    Geometric Collage with 4 Circles

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

    The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang, Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

    A charming mid-century landscape that captures a quiet rural scene under an expansive sky, executed in oil onto board.

    To the left, several golden haystacks rise against the horizon, their rounded forms accented by loosely placed poles, hinting at agricultural life and seasonal rhythms. A  road leads the viewer’s eye into the middle distance, where a simple wooden gate opens toward a countryside beyond.

    Executed in a restrained and muted palette, the composition reflects a serene pastoral atmosphere. The brushwork is gentle and impressionistic, with visible textures in the sky and fields that lend the painting a sense of movement and authenticity. Delicate textures in areas such as the haystacks and road adds tactile interest without overwhelming the tranquil mood.

    A lively mid-century modernist style landscape oil painting, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

    The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained;  the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffing.

    Abstract Plants

    £320

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and visually impactful semi-abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

    The surface is thick with textured impasto, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The composition is divided into vivid colour blocks—warm corals, sunny yellows, soft aquas, and hints of mint—intersected by expressive black and blue marks that suggest organic forms.

    Lloyd’s use of thick paint application invites a physical response—you can almost feel the surface just by looking at it. This rich texture adds depth and dynamism, engaging the senses beyond the visual.

    The loosely defined forms gives us viewers just enough to begin imagining plants and stems without being literal. Its small size encourages close, personal viewing. It feels like a private experience—something to be studied and absorbed in a quiet moment. A perfect example of how small artworks can carry a big impact.

    This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

    Seated in Stillness

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative modernist abstract painting that captures a contemplative figure rendered in bold, gestural strokes, painted in mixed media and dated 1973.

    The subject is positioned frontally, seated against a patchwork of abstracted colour fields that imply an interior setting. A vivid orange dominates the figure’s body, outlined with raw yellow and offset by angular shadows in brown, crimson, and white. A striking cobalt blue cloth or object at the figure’s feet anchors the composition with a surprising burst of contrast.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work fuses figurative expression with abstraction. The brushwork is confident and layered, with rough, visible strokes and a painterly energy that emphasises emotional form over anatomical precision. The background moves from a cool, washed green to blocks of saturated red and earthy brown, creating tension and spatial ambiguity.

    Overall, the painting presents a powerful study in isolation, colour, and raw human presence.

    This mixed media on card is presented within a white mount and a gilt frame, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The painting has some craquelure present, but its overall condition is stable as it is framed behind glass.

  • The Space Between

    The Space Between

    £640

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A 21st-century minimalist abstract painting that explores the interplay between negative space and geometric form with meditative clarity, executed in oil on canvas.

    Dominated by a large, white shape that stretches vertically across the canvas, the composition is framed by two symmetrical bands of muted green on either side. These green sections are not sharply delineated but instead curve inward with organic fluidity, forming the edges of the central void.

    Executed in a minimalist style, the work bears no visible brushstrokes, suggesting the use of masking techniques or flat application of paint to achieve a crisp, graphic finish. The simplicity of the colour palette – clean white and a subdued forest green – lends a serene, contemplative tone, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tension between form and emptiness, presence and absence. A subtle nod to mid-century minimalism, this piece balances structure and softness with elegant restraint.

    This work appeals emotionally through its stillness and subtle rhythm, and intellectually through its form-driven abstraction—a reminder that art doesn’t need to explain itself to be deeply affecting.

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

    Size:  83 x 83 cm (including frame)

    £510

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lyrical and atmospheric semi-abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1982.

    The painting captures the charm of a seaside village nestled among soft golden hills. A winding road leads the viewer’s eye gently toward the distant horizon, where a calm stretch of blue sea meets a pale, almost translucent sky.

    Painted in an expressive, semi-abstract style, the composition features loosely defined cottages scattered across the hillsides, their rooftops rendered in pastel tones of rose, lilac, mint, and cornflower blue. The artist has used a restrained, earthy palette dominated by yellows, greys, and soft creams, punctuated by these subtle touches of colour that lend the work a nostalgic yet dreamlike quality.

    The brushwork is gestural and textured, with generous impasto lending physical depth and spontaneity to the canvas. Strokes appear almost sculpted in places, conveying a tactile sense of the landscape’s contours.

    Overall, this piece evokes a serene, timeless mood – an evocative blend of memory and place.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light gilt frame that has a very unique light green tint. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Woman in Repose

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet very impactful mid century abstract figurative oil composition, by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The painting captures the delicate stillness of a seated female figure through a haze of muted earth tones and gestural brushwork. The composition is softened by a palette of dark green, cream, dusty rose, black, and pale blue, evoking a dreamlike ambiance.

    The figure, loosely rendered, appears to be draped in a light dress, reclining against an abstracted backdrop that hints at foliage or stone. The artist has used confident, impressionistic strokes to blur the boundaries between subject and setting, allowing light and shadow to dissolve form. The painter’s technique embraces abstraction, with layered brushwork and softened edges creating an evocative play between motion and stillness.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profile gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it is in very good condition overall.

    Size:  36 x 32.5 cm (including frame)

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very engaging and beautifully presented contemporary abstract composition, painted on to canvas by British artist Frances Daws.

     

    The Forest Bathing series captures the feeling of walking through a forest on a warm day – how the light bounces off the leaves and shadows dance on the forest floor. Luscious greens and soft yellows create a deep feeling of calm and are reminiscent of long walks and time spent sitting amongst the trees and ferns.

    This small abstract painting, set within a deep white frame, presents a swirling interplay of earthy tones—olive green, beige, ochre, and hints of rusty red. The brushwork is expressive and gestural, forming a loosely circular or spiral pattern that seems to draw the viewer inward.

    The layered, textured strokes give the surface a sense of depth and movement, while the overall palette evokes natural elements like moss, bark, and soil.

    This piece conveys quiet energy and contemplative rhythm, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect within its modest scale.

    Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

Luscious greens and soft yellows create a deep feeling of calm and are reminiscent of long walks and time spent sitting amongst the trees and ferns.

    This abstract painting, set within a minimalist white shadow frame, is a compact composition rich in earthy tones and gestural brushwork. Dominated by deep forest green, the canvas is energized by strokes of ochre, beige, and burnt orange, with the paint applied in sweeping, confident motions.

    The brushstrokes vary in texture—some areas are smooth and blended, while others are more expressive and raw, revealing the artist’s hand.

    The overall atmosphere is introspective and grounded, with a palette that evokes nature. This piece has a quietly compelling presence, inviting closer observation and personal interpretation.

  • Resting in Green

    Resting in Green

    £620

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.
    The paintings in this series respond to the calming presence of the colour green. Frances consciously spends as much time as she can outside. She lives close to woodlands and fields, making it easy to be immersed within greenery. Resting in Green seeks to capture the varying shades of greens within a snapshot of plants and how the relationship of these colours can form interesting compositions.

    This fluid, abstract composition immerses the viewer in a serene, verdant atmosphere. Dominated by various shades of green, interwoven with hints of olive, moss, turquoise, and muted ochre, the work evokes the sensation of being enveloped by nature.

    Organic, curvilinear forms ripple across the canvas, overlapping and intertwining in a way that mimics the foliage that Frances is inspired by. She employs layered brushwork and soft transitions between tones, creating a gentle rhythm that guides the eye across the piece.

    There’s a meditative stillness in the work, capturing the quiet energy of an abstracted garden. Despite its abstraction, the composition feels balanced and harmonious, with light and dark greens playing off each other in a soothing visual dialogue.

    Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

  • Pine Cones

    Pine Cones

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract depiction of what appears to be a woodland scene dominated by pine branches and cones. The artist uses thick, impasto brushstrokes and a cool, earthy palette of blues, greens, whites, and deep browns to capture the textures and dynamic forms of the forest.

    The pine cones and branches are rendered with bold, almost sculptural application of paint, and the artist has added a sandy aggregate, giving the canvas a textured, tactile quality. The diagonal sweep of the central tree branch and scattered cones conveys a sense of movement, as if observed in a moment of wind or natural disarray.

    The background is filled with vertical strokes of cool blue-greens suggesting trunks or dense undergrowth, while the pale, almost snowy backdrop provides contrast and depth. This interplay of light and dark, texture and fluidity, evokes the feeling of standing among trees in a winter or early spring forest.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a lightly painted wood frame, which suits it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Cobalt Collision

    Cobalt Collision

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking abstract composition that explores depth and tension through bold, jagged forms that evoke architectural silhouettes or fragmented memories, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1992 on reverse.

    Rendered in a palette dominated by cobalt blue, mustard yellow, black, and fiery orange, the painting crackles with energetic contrast. Dense, vertical planes in near-black anchor the work, while layers of scraped and scratched pigment reveal underlying tones, adding texture and movement.

    The brushwork is expressive and layered – some areas thick with impasto, others scumbled  – suggesting both spontaneity and deliberate structure. The interplay of shadow and saturated colour creates a visual rhythm that pulls the viewer inward, echoing the emotional intensity of late 20th-century abstraction.

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

  • Riverbend

    Riverbend

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vivid mid-century modernist abstract landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition captures the dynamic energy of a frozen waterway winding through a snowy terrain beneath a dramatic sky. The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and a striking palette to evoke the chill of winter and the fleeting glow of sunset.

    The sky dominates the composition, rendered in bold swathes of blue and overlaid with dashes of fiery orange, crimson, and yellow, suggesting a sun just dipped below the horizon. Below, the frozen river curves with movement, painted in cool whites and icy blues, while gestural patches of green, orange, and brown represent trees and terrain along the banks. A structure and a vivid red form – perhaps a vehicle or boat – add subtle focal points within the composition.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and tactile, creating a sense of immediacy and atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is a small loss to upper corner of frame as shown, but it is otherwise in very good condition.

    Urban Blocks

    £685

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century abstract cityscape rendered in a restrained muted palette, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting captures an imagined urban landscape reduced to essential form and shadow. Angular blocks suggest rooftops, facades, and stacked buildings, layered tightly across a sloping terrain beneath a distant hill.

    The artist has used deliberate, textured brushstrokes to create architectural weight and spatial tension. The colour scheme leans toward steely greys, deep charcoal, slate blue, and hints of taupe, giving the composition a quiet, contemplative tone. Despite its abstraction, the work holds a firm sense of structure and rhythm, reflecting mid-century modernist ideals of simplification and form.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Rail Yards at Dusk

    The Rail Yards at Dusk

    £565

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.

    Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.

    The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some loss as shown. 

    Size: 66 x 79 cm (including frame)
