    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The first of its type to be added to our collection, this unique artwork has been made through the use of dye on fabric (also known as batik).  Handmade by the established Swedish painter and sculptor Fabian Lundqvist, this striking artwork features geometric sections in contrasting colours of a restrained palette. The artist has used varying forms and shapes to create an abstracted image of a figure by a village landscape. The distinctive style and composition of this piece is typical of the artist’s oeuvre.

    The board on which the fabric is attached to is slightly uneven. There are some minor scattered surface marks to the fabric, typical for its age. The artwork is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffs to its edges.

  • Chic

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A joyful and visually striking semi-abstract mid century oil portrait by Swedish painter Hans Osswald, whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm as well as the Malmö Museum.

    The painting depicts a silhouette of a stylishly dressed woman wearing tie, set against a well-coloured background.

    A myriad of rich and bold shades have been used to create this well-balanced composition; and the artist has skilfully used several layers as well as blocks of contrasting tones to reveal form, texture and interest.

    Broad and expressive brushstrokes that have been executed so confidently fill the canvas, adding a lovely texture and imbuing the work with liveliness. Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are scattered areas of craquelure, and also small areas of paint loss to the lower right corner of the painting. However, this is in line with its vintage feel and does not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

    Size: 88 x 71 cm (including frame)

  • Mother

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large and very unique gouache painting of a mother feeding her baby, painted in a distinctly modernist style.

    The subject of the painting – a mother breastfeeding her child – is an intimate, personal one. Yet intriguingly, the style in which the artist had chosen to depict this scene seems to remove this element of intimacy, at least at first glance.  What we notice at first are the lines and shapes rather than the actual scene.  The artist has created a geometric effect within the picture, playing with shape, form, line, colour and pattern. Bold outlines in black demarcate each of the coloured sections, imbuing it with an architectural effect.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined slip.  The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some age toning to the inner section of the frame, and some minor scuffing to the outer edges. The painting is set behind a thick pane of glass.

  • Still Life with Mushrooms

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and well-detailed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil in 1975.

    The artwork depicts a table top setting featuring a group of mushrooms, placed against a soothing green coloured background.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

    Swift and lively brushstrokes fill the canvas; and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skillfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.

    This oil on board painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, of which has some areas of marks and scuffs, as well as age toning to its inner section.

  • Mother & Child

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully executed semi-abstract modernist style mixed media painting.

    The artwork presents figures of a mother and child, composed from cutout geometric and angular shapes to create the respective forms.

    The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.

    In addition to the medium of oil, the artist has used an aggregate on top of oil to create this striking artwork. This piece is brimming with character, as there is an added unique textural feel to its surface.

    The painting is very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertone, and of which has a distinct fractured patterning. That has some areas of minor marks and paint loss on the frame.

  • Colour Town

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully framed abstract oil on board.

    A landscape of a town is just discernible – the artist has reduced its forms down to coloured shapes and patterns. There is a very satisfying rhythm to the abstract composition, and the manner in which it has been framed adds to its character.

    It is housed in a wide profile creamy grey frame with pink notes added that complement the painting wonderfully. Both the frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Tempest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons.  The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Nuns

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely mid-century oil painting featuring a group of nuns walking through an alleyway between buildings, painted in 1955.

    Leaning towards abstraction, the artist has flattened and simplified the forms, reducing them down to planes of contrasting colour. Clearly working with a modernist ethos in mind, he has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and has played with shape, line, colour and form to create a sense of depth and space.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with visible grain and an inner fabric lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Shapes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century oil painting shows distinct elements of cubist influences:  what appears to possibly be fishing nets drying along the coast have been reduced to simplified coloured shapes from different angles, resulting in a picture that appears fragmented and abstracted. Following the cubist ethos, the artist has broken down the landscape and the objects within it down into distinct areas, or planes. This has emphasised the two dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of realistic depth.

    This oil painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that brings out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Line Portrait

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A cleverly executed, charming line portrait of a lady, draw in ink. Using the simple yet expressive power of the line, the artist has created this rather striking monochromatic, minimalist composition. Reminiscent of the line drawings of Pablo Picasso, this drawing reduces what would normally be a complicated image to powerful fluid lines.

    This ink study on paper is set within a white card mount, and in a black frame with a gilt inner lining. Both drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Abstract Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking miniature landscape oil painting, executed in an abstract manner, painted in 1987.

    Upon first glance we notice the broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes filling up the canvas of this lively composition.

    As our eyes rest on the composition, we begin to take in the way in which artist has skilfully managed to abstract what appears to be a pleasant landscape (blue and purple skies in the background, lush greenery in the foreground) through the use of contrasting colours.

    This oil on canvas housed in a white box frame would make a lovely statement piece that would suit a shelf or a gallery hang perfectly. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The pins that have been used to fix the canvas onto the frame are visible around the outside edges of the frame, as shown in photos.

  • Autumn Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A dynamic expressionist oil landscape painting of 2 figures strolling through a winding country road pathway on a fine autumn day.

    The painting has been executed in a semi-abstract manner, with swift and scribble-like brushstrokes used to depict the foliage and water stream.

    Although the energetic brushstrokes imbue the work with movement and energy, the beautiful autumnal and soft colour palette  brings an overall sense of warmth and tranquillity to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed silver frame with red tints.

    Size: 69 x 81 cm (including frame)

  • Blue Soul

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This stunning mid century abstract in oil is not only a celebration of colour, but an excellent example of how simplicity can be magnetic.

    With an under layer of tiffany blue  and an over layer of ultra marine, the artist has used the richness and luminosity of these shades of blue to draw us in.  The painting invites us to pay rigorous attention to colour, as our eyes soak up its richness. Reminiscent of the iconic colour field paintings of Mark Rothko, its saturated colour glows meditatively and asks for our complete absorption.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame which enhances its mid century feel. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Forest after Rain

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic abstract landscape, painted in oil onto canvas. This expressive painting beautifully and effectively captures the ‘essence’ of a wooded landscape. The artist has chosen not to paint in realistic details, and instead chooses to convey the feel of walking through the woods on what seems to be a rainy day. He has captured the life and dynamism of the natural landscape – his quick and expressive brushstrokes create a hazy, blurry feel, capturing the effect of wind and rain on the trees, bushes and ground.

    The painting is housed in a painted gilt frame, which suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses around its edges, but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the picture, and if anything adds to its character.

  • Modernist Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically modernist mid century portrait of a man, painted in oil onto canvas. Reminiscent of the colourist works of the Fauvist painter Henri Matisse,  this painting emphasises flattened and simplified forms, as well as expressive and non naturalistic colours. Planes of bright, contrasting colour have almost been ‘arranged’ on the canvas like a puzzle, creating the portrait that we see. This striking modernist portrait would make a real statement in any interior, but would also fit in with a ‘gallery wall’ style hang wonderfully.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a bronze inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunshine Road

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully executed and framed mid century landscape scene, painted in oil on to canvas.

    The artist has mastered his medium (oil), applying layers of colour that are luminous and fluid.  There is a distinct sense of playfulness here, where non naturalistic colours have given the landscape scene life, vibrancy and expression. We are able to analyse the application of the paint, layer by layer, giving us a glimpse into the artist’s process.

    The painting is very uniquely framed in its original mid century frame, which has a lovely wide profile. The outer and inner gilt windows are separated by a beautiful deep blue fabric lined border. The frame complements the painting wonderfully and really makes it stand out.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it does not detract from the attractiveness of the painting.

  • Autumn Street

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A dynamic mid century oil of an autumnal scene painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used large, expressive, multi-directional brushstrokes in a vibrant range of non-naturalistic colours to create the composition we see before us. Set under a blue and white sky with streaks of red, we see a row of houses surrounded by autumnal coloured trees. The artist has focused on the shape, form and line, intentionally leaving out realistic details. For example,  the trees have been paired down to brushstrokes of orange, red, yellow and brown, and no individual leaves can be seen. Flattened blocks of colours and thick bold lines have been used to create to a sense of space within the picture.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous mid century wood frame with visible grain, and both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Forest Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and emotive mid-century oil landscape painting, that contains elements of fauvism and abstraction.

    In this forest town, rows of houses are presented in the midst of lush greenery; and we can see 2 figures taking a stroll in the foreground.

    The painting not only highlights the artistic beauty of colour and brushstroke, but also acts as a projection of the artist’s inner emotional state.

    There is an explosion of colours in the canvas – with bold and vibrant shades of green, blue, red and yellow dominating and imbuing the painting with liveliness.

    There is also a gestural application of paint – where swift and unrestrained brushstrokes have been executed to create the various forms, adding dynamism to the work.

    This oil on canvas is house in a lovely gilt frame with red undertones. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Lantern

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and typically modernist oil still life, painted onto board. The artist has used swathes of expressive brushstrokes and thick bold outlines in this composition. The background is indistinct, with flat planes of colour used to create a sense of depth. A yellow lantern sits in the centre of the composition, and a potted plant to the right. There is certainly an element of abstraction in this picture, with the artist focusing on forms, lines and shapes instead of realistic details to create this still life.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame, with an inner fabric lined border. The painting has a small area of surface paint loss to the upper right corner, and some light surface marks overall (as shown in photos), but these do not detract from its overall attractiveness and if anything adds to its vintage charm. The frame has some minor areas of discolouration and scuffs but again this is typical for its age.

  • La Femme

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and visually striking modernist style portrait of a female figure, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.

    This well-balanced portrait comprises both soft and rich pastel shades of blue, purple and beige, evoking both a gentle yet lively touch feel to the painting.

    Upon closer inspection of the canvas, we can see that the layering technique has been used as deep layers of contrasting colours have been applied over one another in a swift yet precise manner to form this beautiful composition.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique fervently, creating a visual feast for the eyes as thick and creamy layers of paint stand proud and form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a thin wood frame. There are some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of the paint, but the paint layer is in very stable condition overall.

  • Drift

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and expressive mid-century abstract painting, rendered in oil.

    A restrained palette of warm and rich earthy and naturalistic tones of green and yellow fill the canvas – transitioning so seamlessly as well as 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 the natural landscape of grassy sand dunes on a beach.

    The artist has used long sweeping lightly-textured brushstrokes that not only lend a dynamic touch to the work, but also resembles movement brought forth by the forces of nature including currents or wind.

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

    An outstanding large painting featuring the Old Port of Marseille, France, painted in 1962.

    Soft, short and swift brushstrokes have been used to paint this charming scene where boats and yachts fill the port, with buildings depicted faintly in the distant background.

    This artwork draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. Blocks of contrasting colours harmonise perfectly,  giving to the various forms while creating a sense of depth and space.

Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    With a playful colour palette and a semi abstract composition, this vivid oil on board depicts two figures lazing on the grass, with what appears to be hills/meadows behind them. Both figures appear comfortable and relaxed, with the one on the left holding a flower in her hand, and the figure on the right lying down beside her caught up in his own thoughts. There is a sense of time passing slowly – neither figure is in a rush to leave, and yet it looks like they have been there for a while.

    This painting could almost be a reminder or keepsake of the memories of lockdown, when sitting in a park or field was the only outdoor activity one could do!

    The painting is housed in a hessian lined frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing to the edges.
