    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun and playful mid-century geometric abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting focuses our attention on non-objective artistic elements such as colour, line, shape and form.

    Working with a lively colour palette comprising shades of yellow, blue, black and green, an array of geometric forms in different shapes and sizes have been playfully arranged across the canvas, imbuing the painting with dynamism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has some light scattered craquelure, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has a small loss to its right edge as shown but this is not obvious when the painting is viewed from front on.

  • Sunlight Silhouettes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An emotive and engaging modernist style figurative composition, executed in oil onto card and dated 1964.

    The painting depicts the silhouettes of 2 slender figures that are seemingly engaged in a conversation, under a beaming sun. Juxtaposed against a lighter cream background, the figures create a focal point for our eyes with their darker shades.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as the expressive and painterly brushstrokes as well as the restrained colour palette.

    This oil on card is housed in a complementary wood frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A restful and alluring mid-century modernist coastal landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this large and atmospheric painting, two boats lay at rest in the sandy grassland on the coast in the foreground of the painting. Beyond lies a tranquil sea, and dominating the top half of the painting is a sweeping expanse of a cloudy sky.

    The painting overflows with a sense of calm and serenity, brought forth through the use of delicate unrestrained brushstrokes, and well a gentle colour palette with soft hues.

  • White City

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm and restful mid-century cityscape, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    The composition portrays rows of white buildings of differing heights, stretching out into the distance. In the right side of the foreground, we can discern a tall and slender silhouette of figure portrayed with minimal detail, standing against the town. The artist has purposely simplified the architectural details of the town, reducing it to simplified blocks of white shades with varying intensities.

    The colour palette of the painting is limited to muted shades of white, grey. These gentle colours create a subdued atmosphere, evoking a sense of tranquility. The brushstrokes in the painting are gentle and smooth, creating a sense of calmness throughout the artwork.

    The painting’s minimalistic feel makes it an easy piece to fit into a wide variety of interior settings.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a ridged frame with multiple profiles, that pairs beautifully with the painting. Both the painting and frame have some marks as shown in the close ups, but they are in good vintage condition overall.

  • Houses

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and brilliantly executed geometric abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas in 1958.

    Rows of houses of different colours and sizes are neatly presented and aligned. Painted with a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has reconstructed this scene down using flat blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of space and depth, beautifully composing an almost puzzle-like composition with different sized geometric shapes fitting together.

    Working with a restrained palette with a mix of light white tones contrasting against darker shades of red, purple and blue and arranged structurally, the painting is very well balanced and has a harmonious feel.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some very light craquelure to its lower half (as shown in close ups), but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

  • Introspection

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An emotive mid-century figurative portrait, executed in oil onto board.

    A figure, positioned at the center of the composition, is depicted in a sitting pose with a slight slouch, conveying a sense of introspection or contemplation.

    Using spontaneous and uninhibited brushstrokes, the artist has skilfully layered colours to reveal depth and interest. The use of a muted palette as well as darker shades of brown and black intensifies the somber mood of the piece.

    The painting is housed in a wide-profiled wood frame with a distressed finish, which adds an additional layer of depth and character to the piece.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses to the inner corners as shown in close-ups, with some light scuffing to its outer edges.

  • Prep

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very interesting composition of two figures in an interior, painted in oil onto board.

    We have not been able to quite put a finger on what the two figures are doing – they look like they could be drying out something, given the firewood in the picture, or perhaps they are weaving with a loom in front of the seated figure. A large bag of logs sits to the right of the picture, a pair of barrels can be seen to the left, and wooden beams run across the roof. The picture has a lovely homely feel, with an earthy palette of browns and greens. There is an array of detail, which makes it very interesting puzzle to try and work out. If anyone has a clear idea of what the scene is of, we’d be very grateful if you could drop us a message letting us know what you think it is and why!

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame which illuminates the picture wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Set of 4 Oils

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful set of abstract compositions by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil onto linen panel. Each one signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to these paintings are an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    All paintings and frames in excellent condition. Each one of these is a one-off unique hand painted piece, so the set of 4 will be available until any one of the pieces is purchased individually. If you prefer to buy an individual piece, you can do so here.

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • The Embrace

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large, beautiful and subtle abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the forms in the composition are not clearly defined but our interpretation discerns a standing male figure embracing a female figure.

    The artist has worked with a subdued and muted colour palette that instils a soothing quality to the painting. There is a beautiful transition from darker shades of blue and grey to lighter shades of cream and grey. Distinct energetic brushstrokes fill the canvas, adding an expressive effect and a wonderful textural quality to the painting.

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

    Size: 84 x 58 cm (including frame)

  • Through the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping.

    A very large and textured semi abstract mid century landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This modernist landscape features several areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been applied very generously, giving this painting a wonderful depth with several layers. Though the palette is fairly minimal, the artist has managed to capture the essence of this wintery wooded landscape, giving the impression of a very far reaching landscape. There is almost a mirror like effect, where the colours used for the sky are repeated on the trees and the ground, creating a very harmonious composition. The slim white birch trees stand vertically upright across the scene, juxtaposing the largely horizontal brushwork that has been used.

    The painting is house in a linen lined frame with an inner silver border, which suits the painting impeccably. The canvas has a small closed tear to the upper edge, as seen in photos. This has been restored from the reverse and as such is not obvious on the front. There is slight age toning to the top left corner of the frame.

  • Abstract Collage

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A unique and intriguing abstract figurative composition dated 1976, that employs a combination of oil and collage techniques.

    Executed in an abstract manner, the artwork portrays a figure with his hands raised by his face, and is brimming with expressive energy.  Rich colours of red, blue, and yellow have been executed with broad and bold brushstrokes, conveying a sense of emotional depth.

    In addition to the application of oil, the artist has incorporated collage elements into the composition. Stripes of paper, carefully selected and arranged, intersect and intertwine with the painted surface. These collaged elements create a sense of depth as well as a textural quality, further enhancing the visual impact of the artwork.

    This mixed media on card is housed in a bright gold frame with gold inner border. There is a small loss to the lower right corner of the frame, but overall the appearance is very good. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Abstract in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small yet very impactful mixed media composition with abstract qualities.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner and with a strong focus on colour and brushwork, we can perhaps make out what appears to be three figures crossing a bridge over a body of water.

    Although the artist has worked with a restrained colour palette, the intense use of blue that takes up the centre of the painting is the most prominent colour that commands our attention.

    Long sweeping brushstrokes have been rhythmically executed, and overall the painting is very well balanced and evokes a very satisfying sense of calm.

    This is a mixed media on board, consisting pastel, gouache, watercolour and oil. Both the painting and frame are both in very good vintage condition. The painting is housed behind glass.

  • Architecture & Gardens

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Array

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1965.

    Featuring a distinctly mid century modern palette with its signature copper brown and black tones, this abstract composition is very impactful. We have an absence of the ornamental, and a focus instead on line, form and shape. Reminiscent of Modernist artists like Ben Nicholson, flat shapes in bold colours are laid out across the surface of the canvas,  with expressive and gestural brushstrokes visible in warm earthy tones.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

  • Desert Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene and minimalistic landscape painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1967.

    The artwork captures the beauty of a vast desert terrain painted with soft and gentle brushstrokes. The sky above is bathed in a muted taupe, that adds to the overall sense of calm, evoking the feeling of a tranquil desert evening as the day transitions into night.

    Primarily consisting of various shades of brown and taupe, the artist has skillfully layered these colours to convey a sense of depth and vastness.

    Scattered throughout the landscape are carefully placed tree shrubs and greenery. Their subdued muted green hues provide a subtle contrast against the dominant browns, and act as focal points within the composition and also add a touch of life to the otherwise arid landscape.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Desert Sunset

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A dynamic and well-balanced mid century landscape painting, executed in oil.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the work presents a panoramic view of a sunset over sand dunes in the vast desert.

    The artist has selected a naturalistic palette comprising neutral shades of sand, tan, brown and beige. The overall colour scheme evokes tranquility. The colours harmonise beautifully , and the overlapping shades create depth within the painting.

    Painterly and dynamic brushstrokes have been executed swiftly, wonderfully capturing the wind-swept sand across various directions in the desert, adding a lively and luminous touch to the work. Yet there is a softness to its overall feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. There is a very tiny pinhole mark to the lower left corner of the panting, and there is some scuffing to the top left edge of the inner section of the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Distance

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    A figure wandering across a stretch of greenery lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above 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.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette, beautifully contrasting planes of darker greys with lighter shades to create a sense of depth and width. As our eyes move from the foreground to the background, the brushstrokes transition from more expressive to gentler strokes, and the colours transition from more striking and darker shades to softer hues.

    There is 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.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim cream frame. The frame has some slight scuffing but the appearance is still very good. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Figures in Abstraction

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    At the center of the composition stand two figures, stripped down to their fundamental essence. Painted in an abstract manner, the artist has deconstructed their forms into geometric blocks of contrasting colours, and overlaying distinct patterned lines that flow in various directions. These lines, created with confident brushstrokes, hint at movement and dynamism while simultaneously emphasising the flatness of the canvas. The deliberate absence of recognisable features encourages the viewer to focus on the energy and emotion conveyed through the interplay of shapes, lines, and colours.

    The background serves as a bold stage for the figures, also composed of blocks of rich colours that interact with each other. These colour blocks create a sense of depth and enhance the overall visual impact of the composition.

    This oil on board is housed in a slim wood frame with a black inner window. There is some very minor wear to the painting and frame, commensurate with age, but overall the appearance is still very good.

  • Impasto Bouquet

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid-century still life composition in oil, that masterfully combines elements of semi-abstraction and the impasto technique to depict a bouquet of roses.

    The roses, rendered in shades of red, green, orange, and blue, exude a sense of liveliness, and they have been centered against a light and muted cream background, that imbues the work with a sense of calm.

    While the forms of the roses are recognisable, they have been simplified and reduced to their essence through the semi-abstract approach. The artist captures the inherent beauty of the flowers by focusing on their essential shapes and contours.

    The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes, using the impasto technique to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, resulting in a three-dimensional quality.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame with an inner linen border. The frame has some scuffs to the edges, and some small losses to its corners. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and very confidently executed mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, we can discern  five figures set standing in front of tall buildings in this composition. Each form has been defined by bold black outlines, and all realistic details have been intentionally left out, focusing our attention instead on colour, form and texture.

    The artist has worked boldly in his medium of oil, confidently executing 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 composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wooden frame painted white. There is a very small area of paint loss to the right side of the artwork, but both painting and frame are overall in very good vintage condition.

  • Seated

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The painting features an elongated figure seated on an orange and cream platform, set against a contrasting purple-grey backdrop. Containing elements of abstraction, the painting captures the essence of the human form through expressive brushstrokes, rich muted colours, and a reduction of realistic details.

    The figure, has been rendered in creamy tones with expressive hints of muted blue, purple, and pink, and its elongated and seated form suggests a contemplative state. Through skilfully layering of colours, the artist has exposed the underlying grey that delicately traces the silhouette of the figure, enhancing its presence and providing a subtle sense of structure amidst the abstract composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary purple frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. There is a very small area of craquelure to the figure, as shown in close up photos, but this is commensurate with age and does not detract from its overall attractiveness. The painting is otherwise in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sitting Still

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed miniature semi-abstract portrait in oil, 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.

    In this composition a lone figure is seated by a wall, with his or her features obscured. The figure’s body perceptible only through carefully applied brushstrokes which hint at its structure. There is a poignant quietness to this picture- its impact almost enhanced by its small size – encouraging us to peer closely and take in all the details.

    The painting is housed in a simple but very effective gilt frame, which illuminates the painting and brings out its warm colours. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 25 x 21 cm (including frame)

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and atmospheric abstract coastal scape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    The vast expanse of a magnificent sky dominates the middle and background of the painting.
