    An absolutely stunning oil depicting two figures walking through vast landscape. Scale here has been stretched to its utmost, with the human figures so small it is easy to miss them. The vast landscape is what fills most of this painting, reminding us humans of our position in the universe. We are but a speck. We feel a calming sense of awe when looking at this piece – its focus on nature emphasises its separateness and indifference to our humanly desires and concerns.

    This mid century painting is appropriately housed in a wide off white wood frame with gilt detailing. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame is very stable and in good condition overall but has some minor bumps (refer to photos), but these do not detract from the painting.

    Size: 52 x 60 cm (including frame)

  • Pitchers

    Sold

    SOLD

    Through its exploration of lines and generating and defining of shapes such as the curve, circles, angles and arabesque, this painting picks up on the style and ideas of the Movement paintings of British St Ives School artist Sir Terry Frost, who explored concepts around creating rhythm, counterpoint, interruption and repetition.

    A wonderful visual vocabulary of bright primary colours, shapes, and movement transforms what would normally just be a group of mugs and pitchers, and has given them a life of their own.

    The magic in this is that the artist has taken ordinary objects, and has looked at them in a way that has removed all preconceived notions of visual experience in order to open up the possibility of recreating and reimagining that defies reality. There is an openness to serious play with colour and shape. This painting is simple and surprisingly subtle, but very satisfying to look at, and to enjoy.

    This lovely oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The complementary frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

    Size: 36 x 36cm (including frame)

  • The Piazza

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore

    A bustling and robust scene of a piazza set amidst buildings in an urban area.

    The beauty of such a town square is that it encourages sociability and acts as a centre point for cultural life in the city.

    The artist has managed to capture this essence so perfectly in this work, as this town square is so alive and buzzing with energy. Nightfall has set in, and a line-up of stalls are presented; people from all walks of life are coming together, socialising, checking out the interesting stalls, and taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    Although the artist has chosen to use a darker colour palette to exemplify this night time scene, hints of orange have been used extensively to accentuate and highlight the distinct forms throughout the painting.

    This mid 20th century painting is an original oil on canvas by female Swedish painter Gusty Olsson (1902 -1976), and is signed on the lower left.

    The painting is presented in its original frame, which has some slight signs of ageing, more so to the upper edge. It is in good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 57 x 66 cm (including frame)

  • The Muse

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really unique semi-abstract painting in oil of a muse posing for an artist. In this piece emphasis has been placed on lines and forms as opposed to realistic details. For example, a triangular plane of saturated yellow has been used to represent the light streaming from the lamp shade above the head of the artist. But this plane of yellow is also what creates perspective and depth in this picture, establishing the space between the artist and the muse. Rich colours of green, yellow and gold give this painting a resplendence, emphasised further by the gilt frame surrounding the painting.

    Both painting and gilt frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 43.5 x 31cm (including frame)

  • Blue II

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderful figure study of seated nude in watercolour and ink detailing. Hues of blue bleed into the paper, and the sanguine outline adds a a wonderful rust coloured contrast to the blue wash. It would definitely make quite a statement in any interior.

    The painting is housed in a double grey card mount and an oak frame.

    Size:  52.5 x 45 cm (including frame)

  • Three

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Painted in 1973, this quintessentially modernist painting depicts three female figures seated by the sea. The figures are almost sculptural in form, their soft curves enhanced by the contrasting hard edges of the ledge they sit on and the  horizon beyond.

    The painted surface has scattered areas of small losses, and there is general surface wear and marks to the panel edges. The artwork is painted in oil, and the board upon which it is painted has been set within a thick wooden panel which can be hung on its own as is.

    Size: 25.5 x 51 cm (including outer panel)

  • Ashore

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This excellent semi-abstract modernist oil painting is rather unique. The colour palette is almost monochrome upon first glance, and would perfectly suit an interior with a modern décor. As we take the time to study the painting however, several other colours come to light, including purples, browns, blues, and greens. The artist has played with geometric shapes – using flat planes of colour to create a sense of depth and three dimensionality.

    The painting is housed in its original silver and black painted wood frame. It is in good vintage condition, with some scuffs to the frame and small areas of surface losses to the painting (as shown in photos).

    Size: 52 x 60cm (including frame)

  • Buddies

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fun and playful painting of four penguins, painted in a modernist geometric style. Blocks of vibrant colour and shapes are used in to create this semi abstract picture of penguins in a row. A mix of media has been used, including oil, watercolour and gouache.

    The painting is presented in a wood and gilt frame, and is behind glass. Do take note that some areas of reflection and glare have been captured in the photographs and are not part of the painting, which is in good vintage condition.

    Size: 51 x 31cm (including frame)

  • The Lookout

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A very large and very vibrant oil that would definitely make for an eye-catching feature piece in any interior. The artist has explored the use of colour to its full effect, using bold and rhythmic brushstrokes that set your eyes dancing. Strong outlines and saturated colour in oil form wonderful patterns, reminiscent of the fauvist works by artists such as Henri Matisse.

    The subject matter too is thoroughly heart warming – a family of 3 walk to the end of a path, taking in the view of the open sea through a gap in the luscious trees, as the surrounding landscape wraps them in a colourful and playful embrace.

    This original mid century oil painting is by artist Hans Öllgard (1911-1969) and is housed in robust gilt frame. An engraved metal plate carrying the artist’s name and dates is affixed to the frame.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition, with only very minor scuffs to the frame.

    Size: 81 x 102 cm (including frame)

  • Acres

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    The serenity of nature is widely celebrated in this artwork, as it presents a landscape scene taken in Österlen – a region in Sweden well known for its natural environment.

    What is striking is the horizontalness in the work – with the vertical plains drawn, almost stacked on one another – giving depth to the work.

    Despite being just a viewer to this painting, the stillness and calmness radiating from the work is so powerful, that one can be easily transported to zen state of mind.

    The painting comes in its original unique frame that suits the painting perfectly. There are minor scuffs to the frame, but this is in line with its age and vintage charm.

    Size: 45 x 53cm (including frame)

  • Cobalt Sky

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    It’s hard to go wrong with a solid Matisse-esque colour palette of blue, yellow and pinkish-red. The blocks of horizontal high contrast colours of blue and marigold in this Swedish painting give it a contemporary charm and sun and sea vibes.

    The gold and wood frame it comes in really makes the colours pop. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 31 x 49 cm (including frame)

  • Verdant

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    This oil on stretched canvas is excellently executed – blocks of contrasting green in both saturated and pastel shades give it so much life and movement. The brushwork is beautiful and textured, and the composition is very well balanced. The blocks of colour give it a structured feel, but the expressive brushwork imbue it with freedom and movement. The artist has executed the painting with flat planes of colour while still maintaining perspective within the picture – just stunning!

    The painting comes in its original painted wooden frame and suits the painting perfectly. There are minor scuffs to the frame, but this is in line with its age and vintage charm.

    Size: 40 x 52cm (including frame)

  • The Conversation

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    This artwork captivated our hearts with its unique and interesting subject matter. Depicting a home setting that is well decorated with objects such as artworks and a grandfather clock hanging on the wall, one is immediately drawn to the male figures presented together in the middle.

    This group of 5 elderly gentlemen, appear to be long time friends and are engaged in a lively conversation. This artwork is certainly very inviting and as a viewer, one’s curiosity is piqued by the possible subject of the conversation taking place.

    The strong use of bold and distinct brushstrokes in this painting is immaculate as it gives rise to the various forms in the work. Another great beauty point is the sunlight streaming in from the open window, as it lights up the room, casting shadows and light on the flooring as well.

    This oil on canvas comes with a brown wooden frame with black accents, complementing the artwork beautifully.

    Size: 56 x 64 cm (including frame)
