    A Stitch in Time

    Sold

    SOLD

    A beautifully expressive mid-century figurative painting that captures a seated figure absorbed in the careful handling of a piece of white fabric, executed in oil onto

    With her head bowed and hands engaged in her work, the figure appears to be sewing, or embroidering, capturing a timeless domestic moment of focus and quiet concentration.

    Rendered in a loose, painterly modernist style, the composition balances representation with abstraction. The artist reduces details to confident blocks of colour and energetic brushwork, allowing gesture and mood to take precedence over precise realism. The figure emerges from a largely neutral background, creating a sense of intimacy and drawing the viewer into the quiet rhythm of the activity.

    The palette is dominated by soft whites, cool greys, and pale blues, enlivened by vivid passages of crimson, ochre, olive green, and black within the figure’s clothing. These vibrant accents introduce movement and visual interest while maintaining the work’s overall harmony.

    Brushstrokes are bold and expressive, ranging from thick impasto applications to quick, sketch-like marks. Layers of broken colour and energetic brushwork create a richly textured surface, lending the painting a sense of immediacy and human warmth. The result is a compelling portrayal of everyday life, elevated through the artist’s sensitive handling of form, colour, and gesture.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a refined light linen-lined frame with a slim dark wood outer edge. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

  • Abstracted Nature

    Abstracted Nature

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

    The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

    Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

    Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within in a card mount and a black stained wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex. The frame has some very minor scuffing as seen in the photos.

    Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

    In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fun and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    This monoprint is created from two individual stencils on different ghost print monoprint plates in two separate colours (a ghost print is when the plate has already gone through the press). Whilst the different layers are already in different shapes, there are additional dialogues between the different components because of the different shapes that appear within the main shapes as a result of the ghost print.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This print, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations.

    This monoprint is housed in a vivid green frame that further enhances the artwork within. It is protected behind a layer of perspex. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

  • Arches of the Sea

    Arches of the Sea

    £630

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modern painting that features a dreamlike coastal landscape, defined by its geometric abstractions and surreal composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1948.

    The dominant visual motif consists of overlapping, translucent arch shapes that rise from a calm blue sea, reminiscent of towering, otherworldly rock formations or monumental arches. In the background, stylised islands emerge, silhouetted against a deep blue sky. A small, solitary boat in the foreground adds a human element, emphasising the scale and solitude of the scene.

    The style of the painting blends elements of abstraction and surrealism. The use of clean, overlapping shapes creates a sense of depth and dimension, while the simplified forms hint at both architectural and natural inspiration.

    The brushwork is meticulous and controlled, emphasising sharp edges and smooth colour transitions. The palette is dominated by cool tones, including deep navy blues, teal, and soft mint greens, creating a tranquil and contemplative mood. The interplay of lighter and darker shades enhances the layering effect, while subtle highlights suggest reflections on water.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with ridges. The painting has some very minor marks, but is in good condition overall. The frame has some scuffing.

    Bottle & Pear by the Window

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed still life of a bottle and pear by a window, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre of the composition stand two familiar forms: a tall, dark bottle and a luminous green pear. Their contrasting shapes and colours create a simple yet compelling dialogue. The bottle rises vertically with a restrained, almost architectural presence, while the pear introduces softness, warmth, and organic vitality.

    What truly animates the painting is the treatment of light. Sunlight streams through an unseen window, casting strong diagonal bands across the wall and tabletop. These geometric shafts of light create a dramatic framework around the objects, while long shadows stretch across the surface, giving the scene a sense of depth and permanence. The reflected window panes visible on the bottle’s glossy surface add a subtle note of realism and observation.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame painted black with inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • City Blocks

    City Blocks

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century street scene that captures a pared-back urban landscape viewed through a distinctly modernist lens, painted in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Kurt Lindon (1910-1985), whose works can be found in the collections at the Stockholm City Museum, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Linköping Museum, Östersund Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, and the Borås Art Museum

    Low-rise buildings and taller rectangular forms are arranged in a calm, horizontal rhythm, punctuated by a slender vertical tower that anchors the composition. Sparse trees and simplified street elements suggest human presence without overt narrative, lending the scene a quiet, contemplative mood.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting favours structure and balance over detail. Architectural forms are reduced to blocks of colour, with an emphasis on proportion, negative space, and the interplay between verticals and horizontals. The perspective feels gently flattened, reinforcing the mid-century aesthetic and its departure from strict realism.

    The colour palette is subtle and sophisticated: soft greys, chalky whites, muted blues, olive greens, and warm earthy browns are offset by occasional touches of brick red and mustard. These tonal contrasts create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and calm.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet economical: broad, flat applications of paint define buildings and streets, while lighter, slightly textured strokes add movement and variation across the surface. The paint handling feels deliberate, allowing the composition and colour relationships to carry the emotional weight of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Coastal Curve

    Coastal Curve

    £750

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene and uplifting mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting captures a sweeping coastal road as it bends gently toward the sea. Modernist in its ethos, the composition is defined by its bold simplification of form – trees, path, and shoreline reduced to expressive, geometric shapes in contrasting colour.

    The brushwork is confident and flat, with areas of solid colour laid down in deliberate blocks, creating a sense of stylised stillness. Trees appear as abstracted vertical forms, their trunks and canopies subtly suggested rather than rendered in detail.

    Muted tones of green, grey, and earthy taupe dominate the land, while the sea is rendered in serene blues punctuated by white sails, adding rhythm and motion to the horizon. The sky, a dusty olive-grey, creates a harmonious counterbalance to the grounded palette below.

    This oil on board is housed in very well suited wood frame. there is some wear on the left edge of the painting where it meets the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has very minor scuffing.

  • Coral Sunset

    Coral Sunset

    £755

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and highly expressive mid century modern coastal scene, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The painting captures a lively beach bathed in the glow of a dramatic setting sun. Stylised bathers and scattered logs animate the shoreline, while rocky outcrops frame a shimmering sea beneath a radiant coral-pink sky.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist has reduced forms to bold silhouettes and expressive outlines, favouring emotional impact over realism as colour, atmosphere, and gesture take precedence over fine detail. The result is energetic and playful.

    The palette is dominated by luminous coral pinks, salmon reds, and warm orange-red tones, contrasted by cool blue-grey rocks and touches of black linework. The vibrant red sun acts as the visual anchor of the composition, while the pale beach and sparkling sea create a dynamic interplay between warmth and coolness.

    Bold, confident brushwork animates every surface of the painting. The sky is constructed with vigorous directional strokes radiating outward from the setting sun, creating a sense of light and movement. Across the water, thick dabs and broken passages of paint suggest sparkling reflections, while the figures and rocks are rendered with brisk, gestural marks and expressive outlines. The visible impasto and energetic handling of paint contribute to the work’s immediacy and charm.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful gilt frame with a layered profile that adds character to the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Cradle

    £915

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours  against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

    There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

    This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

    Cubist Interior with Chair

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents an abstracted interior scene rendered in a cubist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966 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.

    The composition is built from interlocking geometric blocks of colour, suggesting architectural forms, furniture, and a seated figure to the right. The artist breaks the interior down into a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles and planes, creating a layered sense of depth while preserving a flattened, modernist aesthetic.

    The palette is dominated by muted mauves, greys, and blacks, enlivened with striking accents of cobalt blue and deep crimson. These colours are applied in confident, opaque blocks, their edges sometimes softened by visible brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand. The brushwork is assertive, giving the impression of both structure and spontaneity.

    Hints of a chair, a table, and a figure are discernible but dissolve into abstraction, leaving the viewer to navigate between representation and geometry. This work reflects the mid-century embrace of cubist abstraction, balancing formal rigour with expressive colour.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as well as losses as shown in the photos.

  • Cubist Street

    Cubist Street

    £590

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting presents a quiet street rendered through a modernist lens, where architectural forms unfold along a gently receding road, and  executed in oil onto board.

    Arched doorways, small staircases, and balcony details hint at a southern European setting, while stylised trees punctuate the scene with a sense of warmth and calm. The composition draws the eye inward, inviting the viewer to wander through this tranquil, almost dreamlike streetscape.

    This structured work shows clear Cubist and geometric abstract influences, particularly in the faceted treatment of buildings and ground planes. Forms are broken into angular segments and overlapping geometric shapes, flattening perspective while simultaneously creating depth.

    A muted yet expressive palette anchors the composition, with warm terracotta, blush pink, sandy beige, and soft browns tones contrasted against cool greys and dusty blues. Accents of green in the foliage introduce freshness and visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and purposeful, applied in broad, confident planes rather than fine detail. The layered paint application enhances the faceted Cubist structure, with tonal shifts used to suggest light, shadow, and architectural depth. The surface retains a gently textured, painterly quality that adds warmth and movement to the geometric composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a few minor scuffs.

    Fragments of the City

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.

    Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner. The architectural forms have been fragmented into angular, interlocking planes, and the cubist influence is evident in the faceted representation of buildings and their integration into the surrounding landscape.

    The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including pastel shades that harmonise with deeper hues of brown and red. The subtle blending of colours creates a cohesive and atmospheric effect, while the subdued tones evoke a tranquil, contemplative mood.

    The brushwork is expressive, with short, layered strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping strokes enhance the impression of architectural complexity and spatial rhythm.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited distressed style grey painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Friesians in the Mist

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly atmospheric painting of Friesian cows in a landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    It is a painting that finds beauty not in dramatic scenery, but in atmosphere and fleeting light. It is less a picture of cows in a field than a meditation on stillness, distance, and the soft veiling effects of mist.

    The first thing that strikes you is the overwhelming sense of calm. A pale blanket of mist spreads across the landscape, dissolving hard edges and muting detail. The world feels suspended between night and day, perhaps in the first moments after dawn when sound is muffled and the landscape seems half remembered.

    The horizon is low and distant, with a line of trees emerging like shadows through the haze. Their softened silhouettes reinforce the feeling of depth while maintaining the painting’s dreamlike quality.

    The black-and-white Friesian cattle provide the painting’s emotional anchor. Their distinctive markings emerge gently from the mist. With their heads lowered, they graze quietly, absorbed in their own world. The dark shapes of their bodies create a beautiful contrast against the cool, pale surroundings.

    This oil on board is presented in a black wood frame with an inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    A gentle and brilliantly executed mid-century modern painting that features an abstracted harbour scene, painted in oil onto board and dated 1960.

    The composition likely depicts a small fishing village with moored boats and angular buildings nestled along the shore. Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the forms of the boats and  architectural elements have been deconstructed and simplified into an arrangement of sharp lines and faceted shapes.

    The colour palette is an elegant blend of muted earth tones, including yellow, deep green, soft blue, and beige, creating a harmonious, atmospheric effect. The boats are rendered in stark white, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center of the composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet confident manner, the brushstrokes are smooth and blended, with subtle textural variations that enhance depth and structure.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining and white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some surface marks at the bottom right of its inner border.

    Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the scene is defined by tall houses that have been skilfully reduced to geometric blocks in contrasting colours, with a splash of fun patterned dots.

    Rich earthy tones dominate the palette – deep turquoise and emerald greens are punctuated by lighter greens, with hints of black, brown, and white and yellow demonstrating depth to the painting. The artist’s use of these colours creates a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

    Despite the simplified forms, the neighbourhood’s lively energy is palpable, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the shapes, colours, and expressive brushwork.

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mesmerising mid-century geometric abstract painting composed of layered angular forms that appear to float and overlap within a carefully balanced composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artist explores spatial tension through a series of intersecting planes – rectangles, trapezoids, and irregular polygons – that shift in opacity and tone, creating a rhythmic sense of movement and depth.

    Rendered in a restrained monochromatic palette of cool greys, whites, and deep charcoal, the work exudes a quiet architectural precision. The translucent layering of shapes introduces a sense of transparency and lightness, while the hard-edged forms retain a strong graphic clarity.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with even application of paint that emphasises the structural purity of the design rather than gestural expression. The artist’s refined control of tone and balance reflects the mid-century fascination with form, proportion, and visual harmony.

    This oil on canvas comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It is on stretched canvas so is ready to hang but if you would like us to help you with framing, you can contact us here.

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

    Featuring an abstract interpretation of a winter beach landscape in Normandy, this painting focuses on the formal elements of line, form, shape and colour. 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. French born, Nils Jean currently lives on the South coast of the United Kingdom.

    Le Club 55 is a legendary and glamorous beach club in the south of France, and we can infer that the setting of the painting is within its interior. Punctuating the center of the composition are two well-dressed figures standing in front of white round table, with 2 wine glasses in front of them. The background of the painting is composed of an interesting mix of collage including wine labels and an image of a sail boat.

    Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the figures down to flat blocks of contrasting colours to demonstrate their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.

    Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, leading the eye towards a tranquil body of water and a scattering of farm buildings nestled beneath distant blue-grey hills. A small stand of stylised trees anchors the composition, lending both rhythm and balance to the expansive scene.

    Executed in a distinctly Scandinavian modernist manner, the painting favours simplification over detail, reducing the landscape to broad geometric forms and carefully calibrated planes of colour.

    The palette is soft and restrained, dominated by creamy whites, muted sage greens, pale yellows, and layered blues that recede gently into the horizon. Subtle touches of lavender-grey and warm earth tones add depth and atmosphere, while the luminous sky bathes the entire scene in a delicate, diffused light.

    Brushwork is controlled, with smooth, flattened areas of paint creating a velvety surface. Gentle layering and subtle tonal shifts provide depth without disrupting the composition’s calm simplicity.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a wide white-painted inner mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Morning at the Window

    Morning at the Window

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A expressive mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure standing beside an open window, absorbed in a moment of reflection, executed in oil onto board.

    Beyond the window, the simple geometry of a neighbouring house roof cuts against a pale blue sky, while within the room a potted geranium and draped linens lend warmth and domestic intimacy. The composition balances interior and exterior worlds, creating a contemplative atmosphere that feels personal.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist manner, the painting demonstrates the restrained sensibilities of mid-century art. Forms are simplified and gently abstracted, with the figure rendered through broad planes of colour rather than detailed modelling. The artist places emphasis on mood and structure, allowing light, shape, and spatial relationships to convey emotion.

    The palette is soft and muted, comprising dusty greens, pale greys, warm creams, and chalky whites, punctuated by the rich terracotta reds of the flowers and the deep brown roofline outside. Subtle passages of pale blue sky bring freshness to the composition, while delicate pink undertones soften the interior light.

    Brushwork is confident yet sensitive, with visible painterly strokes lending texture and movement across the surface. Layers of paint are applied loosely, creating an appealing interplay between solidity and atmosphere.

    This oil on board is presented in an attractive gilt frame with a wide linen-covered mount and an inner white slip. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pears & Pitcher

    Pears & Pitcher

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant contemporary still life that presents a simple arrangement of everyday objects: a dark earthenware pitcher, green pears and apples all set upon a loosely draped cloth, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition balances solidity and spontaneity, transforming familiar domestic forms into a study of shape and colour. The objects are distilled to their essential silhouettes, creating a quiet yet engaging dialogue between positive and negative space.

    Executed in a boldly expressive style, the painting draws upon modernist and post-impressionist influences. Rather than striving for realism, the artist emphasises form, colour relationships, and painterly energy. The pitcher anchors the composition with its strong, sculptural presence, while the pears introduce vibrant accents that enliven the foreground.

    The palette is fresh and harmonious, combining deep chocolate browns, cool turquoise blues, soft creams, and greens punctuated by touches of red. These contrasts create a sense of visual rhythm and lend the work a lively, contemporary character. The interplay between warm and cool tones enhances both depth and atmosphere.

    Brushwork is confident and direct, with broad, gestural strokes applied in a manner that remains visible across the surface. Areas of layered paint sit alongside thinner passages, allowing the artist’s hand to remain present throughout the composition. This energetic handling gives the painting a sense of immediacy and charm, capturing not only the objects themselves but also the fleeting quality of light and observation.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with visible wood grain. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Profile in Burgundy

    Profile in Burgundy

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intriguing and emotive mid-century figurative portrait that presents a solitary figure rendered in profile, her face reduced to essential forms and softened contours, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition balances intimacy and mystery, with the subject appearing suspended in quiet contemplation. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist distils the figure into broad planes of colour and shape, creating a deeply expressive and psychologically charged image.

    The painting displays strong influences of modernist and expressionist portraiture. The elongated profile, simplified facial features, and restrained detailing place emphasis on mood and presence rather than likeness. The figure emerges from an abstracted background, where space dissolves into textured fields of paint.

    The palette is beautifully subdued, dominated by earthy taupes, muted mauves, smoky greys, and deep charcoal tones. Rich burgundy and crimson accents in the garment provide warmth and visual weight, while subtle flashes of pale green and ivory animate the background.

    Brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Thick, painterly passages and visible impasto lend the surface a tactile quality, while loose, gestural strokes soften edges and allow forms to dissolve into one another. Scraped and layered paint textures reveal the artist’s process, contributing to the work’s raw emotional depth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame featuring a natural light wood outer moulding with a wide linen-covered inner mount. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some wear to the outer edges of the frame, commensurate with age.

  • Remnants of Civilisation

    Remnants of Civilisation

    £410

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An original abstract painting, executed in oil onto cradled panel.

    The painting depicts a landscape theme and explores the concepts of art and architecture. Flat planes in a variety of contrasting colours are arranged together, some intersecting and overlaying, creating an illusion of depth and perspective. These colours are rich and vivid, creating a bright and playful energy. Although smooth and matte in its finish, the artist has included areas where we are able to see the application and texturing of the paint. Juxtaposing the hard angled lines, is a row of scalloping that adds a wonderful detail and draws our eye in.

    This oil on cradled panel is ready to hang and does not require a frame. It is in excellent condition.

  • Seaside Conversation

    Seaside Conversation

    £615

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully pared-back mid-century coastal scene oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The painting captures two figures seated on a bench overlooking a tranquil waterfront. In the distance, a solitary lighthouse rises against the horizon, acting as a quiet focal point within the composition. The painting evokes a sense of stillness and companionship, with the figures absorbed in the calm atmosphere of the shoreline.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is reduced to simplified geometric forms and broad areas of colour. The artist prioritises shape, balance, and mood over fine detail, creating an image that feels both spontaneous and carefully structured.

    The palette is warm and harmonious, combining sunlit browns, sandy terracottas, soft creams, and cool blues. Deep olive greens and charcoal tones anchor the composition, while the expansive blue sea and sky introduce a sense of openness and light.

    Brushwork is confident with flat, deliberate applications of paint defining forms through blocks of colour rather than line. Visible brushstrokes add texture and vitality, while subtle shifts in tone create depth within the simplified landscape. The result is a striking balance between abstraction and representation, conveying the essence of a coastal moment with remarkable clarity.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some small areas of paint loss but this does not detract from the overall appearance.

  • Sunlit Forms

    Sunlit Forms

    £585

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

    The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.
