    A very large and outstanding mid-century geometric abstract composition that explores the relationship of colour and form, executed in oil onto canvas.

  • Uninterrupted

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An enigmatic mid-century semi-abstract figurative oil painting, that masterfully contrasts light and dark elements.

    In a mysterious, dark black room rendered with swift and expressive brushstrokes that serves as the backdrop, a figure punctuating the center of the composition is the focal point.  The dark room has a dimly lit ambiance, and we can spot a dark brown chair and table.

    The female figure emerges from the darkness in stark contrast. With her gaze directed downward and seemingly engaged in an activity, her form has been reduced into blocks of contrasting colours painted in light colours, creating a powerful visual juxtaposition against the surroundings. The artist has deliberately omitted realistic details, opting instead for bold outlines that define the contours of her figure, resulting in an almost abstract representation.

    This oil on board is housed in complementary wood frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Walk in the Woods

    Sold

    SOLD.

     An oustanding semi-abstract mid-century modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The painting captures the essence of a forest setting with trees, and a meandering stream in the foreground.

    Masterfully executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has deliberately omitted realistic details and has reduced the scene down to dynamic brushstrokes and a carefully chosen colour palette.

    The expressive, short, and distinct brushstrokes create a palpable energy, infusing the composition with a sense of movement.

    The artist has opted for a harmonious yet restrained colour palette dominated by various shades of green, brown, and beige. Through skillful colour gradients, the forms in the painting are highlighted, adding depth and dimension to the overall composition.

    This oil on board is housed in a frame with a Hessian lining and an inner gilt border, which suits the painting impeccably. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Entangle

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed abstract oil composition, painted onto board and dated ’96.

    The composition features meandering outlines in black that intertwine and intersect, creating pockets that the artist has filled with rich, vivid colours. Each individual shape is therefore completely unique and distinct, while still very much part of a whole. Each shape has a role in the total organism, each one is holding the other up, supporting the whole. As a result the picture has a palpable energy – the forms and shapes almost appear to be moving around the canvas, shapeshifting and amalgamating. There is also an element of the optical effects of light and colour, almost reminiscent of stained glass.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs including a small nick on the bottom which can be seen in the close up photos.

  • Ephemeral Shores

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An atmospheric mid-century composition of a coastal scape enveloped in sea fog, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the artist masterfully uses a reduced colour palette, utilising muted shades of grey and beige to convey a coastal atmosphere as well as cloudy grey skies above. In the middle ground, dark brown, grey, and tinge of light blue tones create a sense of depth and mystery, suggesting hidden depths beneath the fog.

    The brushstrokes, applied with an unrestrained yet thoughtful touch, leave behind a light texture, adding to the painting’s overall transient quality.

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

  • Geometric Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lively and very striking mid-century modernist townscape, executed in oil onto board.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has skilfully reconstructed and simplified this town into blocks of contrasting colours. Each block has been highlighted with thick black outlines that delineate the architectural forms and contours of the townscape.

    The composition is characterised by rich colours, with predominantly white, black, and grey tones with hints of orange and green that add bursts of vibrancy amidst the restrained tones.

    Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been very confidently executed, adding a dynamic quality and conveying the energetic presence of the town.

    This oil on board is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining that suits the painting perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs. Please note that there is some glare visible in the photographs, particularly in the close ups.

  • Family Portrait

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and expressive mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    Painted in an abstract manner, we can discern what appears to be 4 standing figures and a baby in the center of the composition. All realistic details have been omitted, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as brushstroke, colour, and texture.

    The artist has worked boldly in his medium of oil, confidently executing gestural and expressive brushstrokes, and has used the impasto technique to create a wonderful textural quality. Each colour has also been thoughtfully selected and layered to give rise to this beautiful abstract composition.

  • Green Summer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    A row of farmhouses stretch across the middle of the painting, in between fields in the foreground as well as fields that pan out into the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.

    Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has reduced the scene down to planes of contrasting colours.  The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky.

    The gentle brushstrokes bring forth a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

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

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and captivating abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1954.

    Containing elements of cubism and abstraction, the painting models the appearance of a stained glass window, whereby the overall composition has been segmented into fragments of different shapes, sizes, and colours.

    Using smooth and flat brushstrokes, the artist has painted the blocks in contrasting colours with bold outlines to highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the figures, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

  • Metamorphosis

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and striking 20th century oil, painted onto canvas and dated ’98.

    Brightly coloured figures fill the scene, each one overlapping and layering onto another. There is incredible depth within the picture – the way the artist has layered the forms, some opaque and some translucent, gives us the sense of a very busy street scene with lots of people on their way to work. We can just about make out a figure in a suit, carrying a briefcase. Interestingly, as our eyes scan the canvas,  we notice that the figure’s heads morph from human ones to animal ones, perhaps an allusion to the herd mentality or the humdrum of working life.

    Whatever one’s interpretation, the painting is brilliantly executed, with a rich variety of colours and textures filling the surface. This statement piece would certainly make for some interesting conversation.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has an area of paint loss, revealing the red underlayer, as shown in photo.

    A brilliantly executed and playful figurative composition with abstract qualities, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A wonderfully simple yet very effective abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

The combination of minimal use of paint and effective technical skill allows us to really take in and enjoy all the discernible details while having a timelessness that enables this picture to suit many interior settings.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large, masterful and emotive mid-century figurative abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition unveils a seated figure on a chair. Seated upright and with poise, the figure embodies a profound sense of presence and power.

    Abstract in nature, the composition has been reduced to its essence of blocks of contrasting earthy colours – reds, deep browns, and bold blacks. The background, sharing the same earthy palette, seamlessly integrates with the figure, creating a harmonious and unified visual experience.

  • Blue Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very impactful abstract modernist oil composition, painted onto board.

    Although very much abstract, the painting is reminiscent of the qualities of water – its flowing nature, its sparkling and dappled reflections, and even its undercurrents. This interpretation is of course subjective but at its very essence, the composition captures a feeling of motion, transience and dynamism. The artist juxtaposes broad sweeping brushwork with much more controlled and defined dots of paint. The palette of colours interplay wonderfully with each other, encouraging our eyes to move in different directions and explore different areas of the composition.

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