Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century modernist landscape that distils the essence of a coastal countryside into a harmonious arrangement of simplified forms and tonal planes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

Rolling fields stretch gently toward a distant shoreline, where muted hills dissolve into a tranquil horizon beneath a softly weathered sky. A cluster of whitewashed structures sits quietly within the terrain, offering a subtle human presence amid the expansive natural setting.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition reflects the mid-century inclination toward abstraction while remaining grounded in the landscape tradition. The artist has reduced the scenery into layered, geometric passages, allowing the rhythm of land and sea to unfold through balanced shapes rather than literal detail. This approach creates a sense of calm structure and contemplative stillness, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as both place and memory.

The colour palette is beautifully subdued and earthy, featuring sandy ochres, pale sage greens, chalky creams, and deep olive tones. These are complemented by a band of muted teal and blue along the horizon, suggesting distant water or sky.

The brushwork is textural yet controlled, with areas of dry brush and impasto that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge through the paint surface. Edges are softly broken and irregular, lending the composition an organic, tactile quality. This interplay between material texture and simplified form enhances the painting’s atmospheric presence, embodying the quiet elegance and thoughtful restraint characteristic of mid-century modernist landscape painting.

This oil on canvas is housed in a refined and well-suited frame with gilt mouldings and an inner linen window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Earth and Air
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape that distils the essence of open countryside into a series of quiet, expressive gestures, executed in oil onto board.

The composition unfolds horizontally, suggesting rolling fields and distant hills softened by atmosphere and distance. Rather than describing a specific place, the artist captures the feeling of land, its stillness, breadth, and gentle undulation.

The palette is subtle and earthy, dominated by layered greens ranging from moss and olive to brighter, more luminous passages that suggest fresh grass or sunlight breaking through cloud. These tones are grounded by muted browns, evoking soil and natural terrain, while soft washes of pale grey and off-white above create a vast, overcast sky. A darker, almost charcoal passage to the right anchors the composition, providing contrast and visual weight.

The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident. Broad horizontal strokes define the landscape planes, while thinner, vertical marks in the foreground suggest grasses or reeds, lending a sense of immediacy and texture. Areas of exposed ground and visible canvas contribute to the painting’s modernist sensibility, allowing the viewer to witness the artist’s process and movement. The application alternates between opaque and translucent layers, creating depth while maintaining an airy openness.

This oil on canvas is is housed in a well-suited champagne frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Grove in Repose
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling abstract landscape with figures composition, painted in oil in 1946 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.

A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

Hushed Trees
£400
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a quiet grove of slender trees emerging through a veil of winter haze, executed in oil onto canvas.

Three distinct trunks: one cool blue, one pale ivory, and one warm reddish-brown – stand gently apart, their forms softened by the atmospheric frost and mist that envelop the scene. The composition conveys a sense of calm solitude, as if the landscape itself has fallen into a moment of suspended breath.

Rendered in a restrained, poetic palette of icy blues, muted lavenders, silvery greys, and mossy greens, the painting reflects mood and abstraction over strict realism. The background dissolves into layered washes of colour, suggesting distant forms and frozen ground without overt definition.

The artist has used loose, expressive brushwork, combining thin, translucent layers with areas of thicker impasto. Vertical strokes elongate the trees, lending them a graceful, almost calligraphic presence, while scumbled textures and softly blended passages create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Overall, the work achieves a delicate balance between representation and abstraction, evoking the emotional resonance of a winter landscape rather than its precise physical details.

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

Pastel Grove
£560
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing and pleasant mid-century abstract modernist landscape that evokes a tranquil woodland clearing bathed in the gentle glow of early morning light, executed in oil onto canvas.

Slender vertical forms suggest tree trunks rising through a softly diffused atmosphere, while a luminous central passage draws the eye inward, hinting at a path or opening beyond. The composition balances abstraction and suggestion, allowing the viewer to experience both place and feeling without strict definition.

Rendered in a delicate pastel palette of blush pinks, warm yellows, and soft sage greens, the painting captures the fleeting harmony of nature as it shifts between seasons or times of day. Subtle tonal transitions create a sense of depth and air, while muted earth tones anchor the foreground in quiet stability.

The brushwork is expressive yet restrained, with visible palette knife textures and layered impasto lending the surface a tactile richness. Paint is applied in confident sweeps and gentle scrapes, allowing underlayers to emerge and interact, enhancing the painting’s luminous, atmospheric quality. The result is a serene and contemplative modernist work: both structured and intuitive as the landscape is captured as an emotional and sensory experience rather than a literal view.

Still Coast
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A calm and meditative mid-century modernist coastal landscape that captures the hushed stillness of an estuary unfolding beneath a pale, overcast sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

A winding shoreline curves gently through the composition, guiding the eye toward distant headlands softened by atmospheric haze. On the right, a cluster of slender, darkened trees rises from the embankment, their vertical forms providing a striking counterpoint to the broad, horizontal calm of the water and shoreline. The scene feels suspended in a moment of winter quiet: timeless, contemplative, and deeply serene.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has reduced the landscape to essential forms and tonal relationships. The composition balances abstraction with recognisable geography, allowing negative space and subtle tonal shifts to carry emotional weight. The muted palette – comprising soft greys, chalky whites, warm taupes, and earthy browns – enhances the sense of stillness, evoking coastal light diffused through cloud and mist.

The brushwork is confident, with broad, sweeping strokes used to suggest water, sand, and sky. Areas of dry brush and lightly textured paint create gentle variation across the surface, while darker, more defined strokes anchor the composition and introduce structure. This interplay between softness and structure reflects the modernist pursuit of mood and form over literal detail.

The Gathering Hill

Sold

SOLD

An enchanting mid-century naïve style street scene composition, executed in oil onto board.

This painting presents a stylised street scene set against a radiant orange hillside, where a rhythmic procession of figures moves quietly along a winding path. Above them, a constellation of small, brightly coloured houses – each with red roofs and dark punctuated windows – rests across the slope like watchful sentinels. A solitary tree stands to one side, its simplified form lending balance and anchoring the composition within an imagined, almost dreamlike terrain. Below the path, tall, slender flowers rise in neat formation, reinforcing the painting’s sense of order, ritual, and gentle continuity.

Executed in a naïve, folk-inspired style, the work embraces deliberate simplicity and symbolic clarity over realism. The figures with elongated silhouettes are rendered with minimal detail. The houses, reduced to geometric blocks, and the evenly spaced floral motifs contribute to a harmonious, almost ceremonial rhythm across the canvas.

The colour palette is both bold and luminous, dominated by warm tones of burnt orange, amber, and ochre that saturate the landscape with warmth and intensity. These glowing hues are contrasted by jewel-like accents of cobalt blue, forest green, and deep brown within the houses, while flashes of red in the rooftops and flowers punctuate the composition with vitality. The sky, rendered in muted rust tones, enhances the sense of enveloping warmth and creates a cohesive atmospheric envelope.

Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and tactile, lending texture and dimensionality to the surface. The paint is applied with expressive freedom – sweeping and layered across the hillside, while more deliberate, smaller strokes define architectural details and figures. This material presence of paint reinforces the work’s authenticity and emotional immediacy.

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

The Act of Seeing

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century figurative portrait that captures a quiet, introspective moment as a woman stands in profile, gently parting a patterned curtain, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1948.

Her posture is poised yet intimate, suggesting both observation and hesitation – as though she stands between interior life and the world beyond. A window behind her opens onto a soft, distant landscape, reinforcing a sense of contemplation and transition.

Rendered in an expressive, painterly style, the work embraces loose, gestural brushwork that prioritises emotion over precise realism. The figure is constructed through layered strokes of cool blues, muted greys, and soft creams, with touches of rose and pale green animating the contours of her face and clothing. The curtain introduces rhythmic vertical zigzags and organic shapes in earthy reds, blues, and blacks, creating a striking contrast against the cooler tones of the interior. This interplay of colour and pattern brings both movement and structural tension to the composition.

The artist’s brushstrokes are confident and spontaneous, with visible, energetic marks that give the surface vitality. Areas of thinner, translucent paint sit alongside thicker, more textured passages, allowing the underlayers to breathe through and enhancing the sense of immediacy. The figure itself is softly modelled, with edges dissolving into the surrounding space, reinforcing the emotional atmosphere rather than strict form.

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

Waiting at the Door
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet residential moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

A composition centres on a modest house set behind a picket fence, with a gently curving road leading the eye into the distance. A solitary figure stands in the doorway, rendered with deliberate ambiguity, lending the scene a subtle narrative tension: part welcome, part pause.

The composition is deceptively simple yet carefully balanced, with strong geometric forms anchoring the house while softer, organic shapes emerge in the surrounding greenery. In the background, distant buildings dissolve into muted silhouettes, reinforcing a sense of calm isolation

The palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by soft greens, light blues, pale sage, and warm earthy browns. Hints of muted red at the doorway provide a quiet focal point, adding warmth and human presence without overpowering the composition.

Brushstrokes are loose and expressive. Paint is applied with confidence – broad, visible strokes define architectural planes, while lighter, more rhythmic marks suggest foliage and fencing. The surface retains a tactile quality, allowing the hand of the artist to remain present throughout.

Lily of the Valley & Jug
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined contemporary still life that presents a carefully orchestrated arrangement of everyday forms rendered with clarity and restraint, executed in oil onto board.

At the centre rests a tall ceramic jug in warm earthy tones of chocolate brown and muted taupe, its simplified silhouette outlined in confident dark contours. Beside it lies a single slice of pale green fruit, its circular form offering a gentle counterpoint to the vertical presence of the vessel.

In the foreground, a sprig of lily of the valley stretches gracefully across a bold orange rectangular dish. The delicate white blossoms and rich green leaves introduce an organic softness, their gentle curves and natural rhythm contrasting beautifully with the structured geometry of the surrounding objects. Behind them, subtle blocks of beige, cream, and soft grey form a quiet architectural backdrop, suggesting interior space without distraction.

Stylistically, the painting draws on contemporary modernist sensibilities, where representation is simplified and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. The composition balances geometry and nature, solidity and delicacy, creating a sense of stillness and introspection. The palette is restrained yet expressive – warm neutrals, earthy browns, and muted greens punctuated by the confident accent of yellow – evoking both warmth and compositional clarity.

The brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Clean edges and defined contours reinforce the structural integrity of each object, while subtle tonal shifts within the surfaces add depth and quiet dimensionality. The result is a refined and contemplative work, celebrating the quiet beauty found in simple arrangements and everyday objects.

This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with gently recessed inner mouldings and a delicate carved detail that runs along the inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown.

Autumn Foothills
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric modernist landscape that presents a luminous autumn scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

A broad sweep of golden aspens stretches across the foreground, punctuated by soft sage greens and warm earthen tones. Low rocky forms and russet soil anchor the composition at the front, leading the eye gently toward layered foothills and distant mountains rendered in cool blues, greys, and muted slate hues. The result is a tranquil, balanced view that feels both expansive and intimate.

Modernist in its ethos, the painting emphasises simplified shapes, clear colour relationships, and an expressive rather than literal interpretation of nature. The landscape is structured in horizontal bands, giving the composition a calm, grounded rhythm, while loosely defined trees introduce vertical movement and visual interest.

The palette is distinctly autumnal yet restrained – mustard yellow, brown, pale olive, and soft rust contrast beautifully with the atmospheric blues of the mountains and sky. These tonal shifts create depth while maintaining an overall harmony that is soothing and timeless.

Brushwork is confident and tactile, with broad, painterly strokes and visible layering throughout. The foliage is built up with dabs and patches of colour, allowing the canvas texture to remain subtly present, while the mountains are handled with smoother, blended strokes that recede quietly into the background. Altogether, the painting carries a sense of ease and warmth, making it a classic and inviting example of mid-century landscape painting.

Figure by the Window
£740
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intimate mid-century figurative painting that captures a solitary figure absorbed in a quiet, domestic task, executed in oil onto canvas.

Positioned near a window, the figure leans forward with gentle concentration, their form partially silhouetted against a softly lit interior. The scene feels private and unguarded – a fleeting moment of everyday life observed without interruption.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the composition balances figuration with loose abstraction. Architectural elements – the window frame, wall planes, and floor – are suggested rather than defined, creating a sense of space through colour blocks and shifting perspectives rather than strict linear depth.

The palette is restrained yet expressive, built from muted greens, soft yellows, warm creams, and earthy reds, with cooler blue-green tones anchoring the shadows. These colours subtly echo one another across the canvas, lending the work a harmonious, contemplative mood.

Brushstrokes are confident and textured, applied in short, directional strokes that remain clearly visible throughout. The paint handling prioritises movement and atmosphere over fine detail, allowing the figure to emerge organically from the surrounding space. This tactile surface and expressive restraint are hallmarks of mid-century figurative painting, where emotion and form are conveyed through colour, rhythm, and gesture rather than precision.

A quietly powerful work, this painting invites prolonged looking, revealing beauty in stillness, routine, and the poetry of ordinary moments.

The foreground is dominated by lush green foliage, painted with bold, confident strokes. The greens vary in hue, creating depth and rhythm.

A whitewashed building with an orange-tiled roof is partially obscured by greenery. This architectural touch gives the scene a sense of place, suggesting somewhere Southern Europe.

Suspended Dialogues
£1,455
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

An intriguing and engaging abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2009 by contemporary Swedish artist Pontus Carle (b.1955).

This abstract composition unfolds as a lively visual conversation, where floating forms and intersecting marks appear suspended in a shallow, atmospheric space. Suggestive rather than literal, the painting hints at figures, tools, and architectural fragments without ever settling into a fixed narrative. Shapes drift, overlap, and counterbalance one another, creating a sense of movement and quiet tension across the surface.

Executed in a contemporary abstract style with subtle echoes of mid-century modern abstraction, the work balances spontaneity with control. Linear elements cut decisively through softer, rounded forms, while areas of transparency allow underlying layers to gently emerge. The composition feels intuitive and playful, yet carefully orchestrated.

The colour palette is restrained but expressive, anchored by soft greys and off-whites, and punctuated with confident accents of black, ochre, mustard yellow, coral, teal, and muted blue. These touches of colour animate the surface, guiding the eye rhythmically across the canvas.

Brushstrokes range from broad, gestural sweeps to delicate, calligraphic lines. Some passages are thin and translucent, revealing earlier decisions beneath, while others are more opaque and textural, lending depth and visual contrast. The result is a dynamic, layered painting that rewards close inspection and invites ongoing interpretation

A calm and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a quiet countryside moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric interior scene that depicts a serene dining space where a sequence of arches opens into a softly illuminated space beyond, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

The composition draws the viewer inward, moving through shadowed passageways toward a sunlit interior. Beyond the shadowed foreground, tables and chairs are arranged in gentle clusters, hinting at a dining setting. The absence of figures lends the scene a contemplative calm, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet murmur of conversation and the play of light across tabletops.

Executed in a classic mid-century modern style, the composition favours mood and structure over precise detail.

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.

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.

An atmospheric modernist style coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline at low tide, where land, sea, and sky dissolve gently into one another, executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

The composition is horizontally layered, with a wide, luminous sky pressing softly down onto a narrow band of distant water and a foreground of windswept beach and tidal flats. The scene feels expansive yet intimate, evoking the stillness of a pause between weather or the calm after movement.

The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction while remaining rooted in observation. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over detail. The horizon line is slightly softened, reinforcing a sense of openness and distance.

The colour palette is restrained and harmonious. Pale blues, soft greys, and milky whites dominate the sky, creating an airy, light-filled backdrop. The sea is rendered in muted blue-green tones with darker accents suggesting gentle wave movement. In the foreground, earthy rusts, warm browns, sandy creams, and touches of olive and slate introduce warmth and texture, grounding the composition.

Brushstrokes are expressive and confident, applied with broad gestures. Thick, layered paint creates a tactile surface, particularly in the foreground, where sweeping strokes suggest sand, rock, and shallow water without literal detail. The sky is handled more softly, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s calm, atmospheric quality.

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

Hillside Pathway
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A joyful and pleasant mid-century landscape that captures the essence of a bright day, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition centres on a winding path that gently curves upward between two softened, block-like structures – suggesting houses – positioned on either side. Lush, expressive greenery flanks the path, giving the scene a sense of movement and breezy energy.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting favours simplified forms, bold shapes, and confident, gestural brushwork over fine detail. The palette is uplifting and crisp: vivid turquoise skies, velvety greens, sandy browns, and touches of warm terracotta on the rooftops.

Broad, sweeping strokes convey the foliage with speed and spontaneity, while the smooth, curved brushwork of the path introduces calmness and flow. The overall effect is fresh and optimistic, and captures the simple pleasure of a hillside walk.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful champagne wood frame with an inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Houses by the Sea
£485
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a quiet coastal scene viewed from a gently rising hillside, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two angular, red-roofed houses sit nestled into the land, their simple forms silhouetted against a wide expanse of luminous blue sea. The composition draws the eye naturally from the darker, earth-toned foreground up toward the glowing horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and calm.

Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified architecture, balanced geometry, and an emphasis on mood over fine detail. The houses are rendered with bold, confident shapes, while surrounding trees and foliage are loosely suggested rather than precisely defined. This restraint gives the work a timeless, contemplative quality.

The colour palette is both rich and harmonious. Deep greens, mossy browns, and muted browns dominate the foreground, contrasted beautifully by the saturated cobalt and ultramarine blues of the sea. Above, a soft, sunlit sky in pale yellows and creams introduces warmth and light, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Subtle flashes of orange and red in the buildings act as focal points within the composition.

Brushstrokes are expressive yet controlled. The sky is built up with soft, layered strokes that create a gentle, luminous texture, while the landscape below features broader, more gestural marks, allowing colours to blend and breathe. The overall paint application feels confident and painterly, capturing both structure and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 68.5 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

Still Life with Blue Cup
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century still life that presents a calm tabletop arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition depicts two ceramic jugs, a small blue cup, and a pair of apples – set against a simplified interior backdrop. The composition feels intimate and considered, with each form carefully spaced to create balance and quiet rhythm across the horizontal canvas.

Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has reduced the objects to solid, gently rounded forms, emphasising structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the shapes to sit confidently within the picture plane rather than receding deeply into space.

The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: cool blues and soft greys dominate the vessels and background, contrasted by the warm yellow-green and blush tones of the apples. A muted green tabletop anchors the composition, while deeper blue shadows add depth and visual weight without disturbing the overall calm.

Brushstrokes are visible and softly textured, lending the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are slightly softened rather than sharply defined, giving the scene a relaxed, contemplative mood. Together, the colours and brushwork evoke a sense of domestic stillness.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen and gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some small water marks to its innermost parts, consistent with its vintage character.

Fields at First Light

Sold

SOLD

A tranquil mid-century landscape that presents a serene, panoramic view of open countryside unfolding beneath a pale sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959, measuring a metre in length.

Broad fields stretch gently into the distance, punctuated by a softly clustered stand of trees at the centre and a darker wooded horizon beyond. The composition’s horizontal emphasis enhances the sense of calm and quiet continuity, drawing the eye slowly across the land rather than toward a single focal point.

Painted in a restrained mid-century modern style, the work favours atmosphere and balance over fine detail. The colour palette is subtle and harmonious: warm buttery yellows and soft ochres in the fields are offset by muted sage and olive greens, with blush and dusty rose tones delicately shaping the trees. Above, a pale, airy sky in washed blues and off-whites lends lightness and openness to the scene.

Brushstrokes are loose and confident, applied in flattened planes with visible texture that gives the surface a gentle rhythm. The handling feels intuitive and expressive, allowing colours to softly merge at their edges while still maintaining a clear sense of structure. Overall, the painting captures a quiet, contemplative moment in nature.

This long oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen lined frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Difficult Tableau
£350
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

This painting showcases Durling’s distinctive abstract vocabulary—tactile, spatially quiet, and emotionally charged through texture and colour. It feels like a visual diary entry composed of silences punctuated by vivid moments.

Durling introduces small blocks of intense, saturated colours including jet black, fiery orange, acidic yellow, and forest green, scattered throughout the pale background like thoughts breaking through quietude. Thick, painterly textures dominate the surface. The paint is almost sculpted, making the canvas a physical object as much as a visual one. This adds emotional depth—you sense that each mark carries intention and presence.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame again complements the painting beautifully—earthy and solid, grounding the delicate and expressive content within.

Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

Things Far and Near
£350
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

This painting showcases Durling’s hallmark abstract language—minimal yet emotionally charged, textured yet airy. It’s a small piece that feels quiet but confident, introspective and balanced, like a private rhythm unfolding in colour and texture.

As with much of Durling’s work, the surface is highly textured, with thick layers of paint that create a tactile, almost geological quality. The canvas feels worked, scraped, and layered, like time embedded in paint.

The background is dominated by a soft minty green and pale pink base, giving the work a calm and gentle tone. Accents of bold black, vibrant orange-red, buttery yellow, and bright white interrupt the softness in bursts.

Despite its abstraction, this piece feels personal and evocative. There’s a delicate tension between order and spontaneity, between soft space and strong marks.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. The dark wooden frame is a perfect match for this kind of subtle abstraction. It provides a visual anchor without stealing any attention, and its rustic quality echoes the organic textures in the painting itself.

Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Walking Home Together
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century naïve style street scene painting that captures a gentle moment of everyday life, as two figures walk side by side along a softly curving village road, executed in oil onto board.

Modest houses with pitched roofs line the street, their forms simplified into harmonious blocks of colour, while a tall green fence guides the eye toward the distance. The figures, seen from behind, lend the composition a quiet intimacy and a sense of unspoken narrative – suggesting companionship, routine, and the calm rhythm of a small town.

The work balances figurative detail with abstraction. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, and perspective is slightly naïve, giving the scene an almost memory-like quality.

The palette is soft yet expressive: muted blues, sage greens, and warm browns are offset by gentle greys and creamy whites. Occasional accents of pastel pink and lavender add warmth and visual interest without disrupting the overall calm.

Loose, confident brushstrokes are applied with visible texture, particularly in the road and building facades. The paint handling feels intuitive and painterly, with layered strokes that create movement and depth while maintaining a relaxed, unpolished charm.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Calm Coast
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline moment where 2 boats rest on pale sand as the tide gently recedes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The coastline curves softly into the distance, leading the eye toward low hills and a scattering of seaside buildings that dissolve into the hazy horizon. The composition balances stillness and movement: the grounded boats anchoring the foreground while the waterline sweeps gracefully along the shore.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours simplification over detail. Forms are reduced to broad planes and subtle contours, lending the scene a calm, contemplative rhythm. The palette is restrained and harmonious, with soft sands, muted sage and olive greens, and cool coastal blues, all gently warmed by blush and sandy undertones.

Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, applied in layered, painterly passages that create texture without heaviness. The surface retains a light, airy quality, with visible strokes lending a sense of immediacy and atmosphere. Overall, the painting evokes a serene coastal pause – timeless, understated, and deeply evocative of mid-century European seaside sensibilities.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
