    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and striking mid-century abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The brushstrokes are deliberate and flat, emphasising form and shape, and allowing the viewer’s eye to focus on the interplay of colour and geometry.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited light blue painted wood frame. The painting has very small areas of paint loss on its left side as shown in the photos, but this is only noticeable upon close inspection. The frame has some general scuffing  as shown in the close ups.

  • The Cockerel

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style still life composition, painted in oil onto board 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.

    This painting portrays a tabletop scene with what appears to be a cockerel figurine, a pot, as well as a bottle.

    Working under a largely modernist ethos and containing elements of abstraction and cubism, the artist has skilfully deconstructed and simplified the scene down to geometric shapes and colour blocks, rather than focus on realistic detail.

    A limited colour palette of muted tones—such as blue, grey, beige, and white—accentuated by vivid reds for the figurine’s comb and beak, have been used. This helps to create a balanced contrast, as well as create depth and space within the picture.

    The brushstrokes are expressive and visible, adding a light tactile quality to the piece.

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

  • Geometric Fun

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original abstract artwork, made up of paper that has painted, embroidered and then stitched together.

    The paper has been stitched to create a three dimensional form that is mounted onto board and protected behind glass. The paper has been painted with an abstract composition using acrylic paint, and each alternating strip has been painted with different colours. As a result, the artwork changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. If viewed from the right, we see a geometric patterning of red, black and yellow. When viewed from the left, a series of angled lines criss-cross across the lighter coloured surface. Although it is technically a static piece, we have in fact a very dynamic artwork that changes constantly. The paper itself has also been embroidered with an intricate pattern which gives it textured detail, visible when viewed closely.

    The artwork is presented in a black frame and protected behind glass. It is in very good condition. Ready to hang.

  • Grounded

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully executed mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this atmospheric composition, the artist has applied the paint thickly, creating lots of areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) and variation in texture. Depicting what appears to be a rural landscape, the lower section of the painting has richer, earthier colours in broad sweeping brushstrokes . This juxtaposes against the lighter top half of the painting which has been painted in a mixture of white and lilac, with hints of blue underneath, alluding to the depth of layers within the painting.

    There is a really earthy quality to the piece, and its abstract subject makes it an easy fit into most interiors.

    The painting is housed in a silver leaf wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • La Plage

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A modernist style abstract composition painted in acrylic onto canvas board, by French born artist Nils Jean.

Nils combines these shapes to form a very harmonious composition. Bold colours of black, blue and sandy brown are set against a lighter grey-blue background.

    Working in acrylic on canvas, Jean’s strong use of colour and pattern are influenced by his time  studying fashion at Studio Berçot in Paris and subsequently working as a womenswear designer, prior to moving to London to focus on the arts.

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene yet energetic and beautifully textured mid-century abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Although abstract in nature, the painting captures the essence of a landscape scene, focusing more on colour, texture, and emotion, than on precise representation.

    The palette is dominated by rich yellows in the foreground, capturing the essence of sunlit plains or sand dunes. The middle and background areas feature shades of blue and teal, suggesting either the ocean or the edge of the sky meeting the horizon. Above, light blues and soft creams represent a broad, open sky, with fluffy, abstract clouds.

    The texture is highly expressive, with bold, sweeping strokes that give a sense of movement and dynamism to the landscape. The thick impasto application of paint, enhances the tactile quality and adds character to the painting.

    Small yet impactful, the painting showcases a vibrant and abstracted depiction of nature, where lush fields with rolling hills in the background have been deconstructed and simplified into blocks of contrasting shades.

    Post-impressionist in nature, the artist has selected a saturated and rich palette – using colours to evoke emotion rather than merely representing the landscape. The use of expressive brushstrokes, combined with a lightly textured surface, contribute to the painting’s dynamic and emotive quality as well.

    An outstanding mid-century geometric abstract cityscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition features a vibrant palette of rich and striking colours—jet black, fiery orange, bold red, deep blue, and sunny yellow. These hues contrast sharply, creating a sense of energy as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

    The smooth brushstrokes add a polished finish to the piece, enhancing the sharpness and clarity of each geometric form.

    £615

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and wonderfully coloured mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Simple yet effective in its composition, the painting revolves around a group of luscious apples set against an expressive and abstract backdrop executed with gestural sweeping brushstrokes.

    The artist has thoughtfully used an uplifting colour palette, drawing our attention to the form of the apples, as their striking richer shades of red and green with hints of blue contrasts against the lighter backdrop comprising a spectrum of yellow, and white and orange.

    Through the masterful use of the contrasting shades, as well as seemingly unrestrained yet precise brushstrokes, the three-dimensional qualities of the fruits are enhanced and the overall composition is full of character.

Semi-abstract in nature, the painting omits realistic details, including facial features, to focus on the interplay of colour and brushwork. The artist has masterfully reduced the composition to blocks of contrasting colours, creating depth and form within the scene.

    The backdrop is a subdued nude brown shade, providing a calm and neutral canvas that allows the figures to stand out. The overall colour palette is restrained, featuring shades of sand, brown, and black, with subtle hints of deep red and blue peeking through, adding an underlying complexity to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks but they do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    Size: 48 x 62 cm (including frame)

    An emotive and visually captivating abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1973.

    Small yet impactful, a standing abstracted figure punctuates the center of the composition. The figure is skilfully defined with subtle black outlines that emphasize its silhouette. The use of these outlines adds a sense of distinction to the composition.

    The figure stands boldly against a backdrop of muted greys and blues, which has been executed with broad and expressive brushstrokes. These brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and emotion, and the limited and somber palette of greys and blues evokes a sense of melancholia.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a slim silver frame which complements the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs.

    Size: 37 x 29 cm (including frame)

  • Portrait of a Troubled Soul

    £1,065

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This mid-century expressive and emotive oil portrait delves into the depths of the human psyche with an intriguing depiction of a male figure in a brown shirt.

    The face of the figure appears slightly distorted, contributing to an atmosphere of unease and ambiguity. Through the semi-abstract portrayal, the artist captures the complex and often contradictory nature of human emotions and thoughts.

    The painting’s expressive brushwork is forceful and emotive, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Reminiscent of the works of Irish-born British figurative painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992), the piece explores themes of inner turmoil.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has light craquelure at its top right section but the paint layer is stable. The frame edges have some losses but this is in keeping with its overall distressed vintage style.

    Size: 65.5 x 54 cm (including frame)
