The use of a cool and earthy colour palette including shades of blue, green, and brown imbues the painting with a calming feel.

This modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional work features cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials. It is a fine example of technical mastery and the organisation of material. Here the role of the artist as ‘painter’ has been re-imagined – the artist is an engineer wielding tools instead of a painter holding a brush. The art has been ‘built’, rather than emerging from an expressive impulse or an academic tradition. As a result, the artwork is intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.

Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 38 x 48 cm (including frame)

Abbey Remains

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures the elegance of the remains of a Gothic abbey, rendered in angular, abstracted forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

The artist has deconstructed the architecture into bold geometric shapes and intersecting planes, offering a stylised, almost cubist interpretation of the structure. The skeletal remains of arched windows, pointed gables, and weathered stone towers are set against a pale, faceted sky and softly undulating hills.

The palette is restrained yet evocative, with cool greys, browns, and muted greens dominating the composition. Subtle highlights of light blue and off-white suggest shifting daylight, lending a fragile luminosity to the scene. Thick, confident brushstrokes applied in mosaic-like patches give the surface a textured, tessellated effect, echoing the crumbling but enduring nature of the abbey itself.

This oil on board is housed in a beautiful distressed wood frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

A Moment Left Behind

Sold

SOLD

A modernist style interior still life composition that captures a quiet moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

The painting features a table with a yellow chair in the foreground, set against a background of geometric planes in muted tones. On the table, a green bottle with a red seal, a glass, and a small red bowl are arranged across a pink tablecloth. A dark green jacket is draped casually over another chair, adding an element of human presence without directly depicting a figure.

The painting embraces a modernist approach. The perspective is slightly flattened, and the shapes of objects are reduced to their essential forms. The artist has utilised strong but subtle structural lines to define space.

The colour palette features predominantly muted shades of blues, greys, and pinks, which imbue the work with a calm and slightly melancholic atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in complementary gilt and white ridged frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Coastal Bend

Sold

SOLD.

A large and tranquil mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where land, sea, and sky merge in soft abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

A pale sandy shoreline curves gently into the canvas, embraced by rolling hills rendered in muted olive and sage tones. Beyond, a calm expanse of blue-grey water stretches across the composition, fading into a sky of pale blue and light peach with delicate cloud sweeps.

The artist has worked in a semi-abstract modernist style, reducing natural forms to broad planes of colour and fluid, interwoven shapes. The palette is harmonious yet subtly contrasting – earthy browns and greens meet with cooler greys and sky blues. Brushstrokes are gestural and loose, layering both horizontal sweeps and curved motions that suggest movement in land and water.

Overall, the work balances tranquillity with rhythmic energy, presenting an interpretation of nature through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

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

Dachshund

Sold

SOLD

A very endearing and engaging canine composition of a Dachshund, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The dog is shown in profile, standing proudly with its signature long body, short legs, and alert expression. Its smooth black coat is accented with warm reddish-brown markings on the muzzle, chest, and paws, giving it both character and charm.

The background sets the scene indoors: a mustard-yellow paneled wall, a simple white-trimmed window revealing green hills and blue sky outside, and a purple floor that provides a playful contrast to the dog’s dark coat. The composition is clean and geometric, with flat planes of color that emphasize shape and form rather than detail.

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

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

The dog is shown in profile, sitting upright with a graceful, calm posture. Its body is a clean, flat white, patterned with scattered black spots that give it character and texture.

The background is divided into two strong colour fields: a deep terracotta red upper section and a dark earthy brown lower strip, suggesting the ground. This minimalist backdrop highlights the dog, making it the clear focal point of the painting.

This oil on board is housed in in a black painted wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Fields of Stillness (Set of 2)

Sold

SOLD

An elegant pair of mid-century landscapes that capture the quiet poetry of rural life through a minimalist modernist lens, and executed in oil onto canvas.

Both works feature sweeping compositions that draw the viewer into open countryside scenes – one depicting a farmhouse on a distant ridge under a wide, tranquil sky, and the other showing a meandering country road curving gently toward thatched cottages.

The artist’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by bold, simplified forms and strong, rhythmic geometry within the land contours. The palette is a refined harmony of sage greens, browns, and teal-blue skies – colours that evoke both calm and structure. Thick, expressive brushstrokes convey texture and light with confident economy, allowing the paint itself to suggest the terrain’s movement and atmosphere.

Together, the pair exudes balance and quiet strength – timeless mid-century pieces that celebrate the stillness and spaciousness of the rural landscape while offering a refined decorative harmony.

These oil on canvases are presented in beautifully complementary mid-century style frames that enhance their serene, modernist quality. One in a soft silvered wood finish, and the other in a champagne-gold undertone finish. Both the paintings and frames are in excellent vintage condition.

Figures in Motion

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed abstract figurative oil composition painted 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.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting features a group of figures rendered in a simplified and indistinct manner, suggesting movement or interaction in a serene, almost dreamlike environment.

Abstract in nature, the figures are obscured, and their forms are perceptible only through carefully applied brushstrokes and contrasting colours which hint at their structure.

The muted palette is dominated by soft tones of beige, cream, and light blue, accented by darker shades of black. These colours create a harmonious and calming composition while adding a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, applied with a sense of spontaneity and emotion.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Forest Geometry

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist landscape that reimagines a wooded scene through the lens of abstraction and cubism, painted in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts a stand of slender trees rising before a distant hillside, their forms fractured into geometric planes and rhythmic verticals. At the composition’s heart, a dark evergreen anchors the scene – its deep green tones contrasting against the softer mosaic of browns, blues, and muted mauves that fill the surrounding terrain.

Through overlapping geometric forms and layered brushstrokes, the artist has constructed the landscape as an interplay of colour and shape rather than a literal depiction of nature. Earthy greens, browns, and yellows are interwoven with muted mauves, cool blues, and touches of rose and teal, creating a sense of quiet motion and depth.

The brushwork is assertive, with visible texture lending a tactile quality to the surface. Planes of colour shift and intersect, capturing the essence of light filtering through trees while also flattening and reordering space — a hallmark of Cubist experimentation.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scuffs and some areas of paint loss.

Golden Tree

Sold

SOLD

A soothing and very pleasant modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

A single tree, glowing in golden orange, stands proudly in the foreground against a backdrop of whitewashed houses with deep blue roofs and soft foliage. The simplified geometry of the composition lends the scene a calm structure, while the thick impasto and visible brushstrokes add energy and texture to the surface.

The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy greens, warm yellows, and muted greys that evokes a sense of stillness, balancing abstraction with familiarity. The forms are distilled to their essence – the foliage reduced to layered shapes, the tree rendered as a luminous form pulsing with autumnal warmth.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs. Please note there is some glare in the photographs.

Harbour & Hillside

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century coastal landscape that captures the rhythmic order of a harbour scene rendered through a distinctly modernist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

Clusters of geometric buildings and cranes line the waterfront, their angular forms carefully arranged to evoke both structure and serenity. The distant hills rise gently across the water, balancing the composition with soft undulating lines against the rigid shapes of the port.

The artist has used a palette of muted yet harmonious tones – brick red, sage green, browns, blush, and blue – creating a subdued but richly layered harmony of colour. Each hue appears thoughtfully modulated, suggesting light glancing off the industrial surfaces and calm waters below.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with flat, interlocking planes that give the painting an almost architectural rhythm. Despite the simplified forms, there is a deep sense of atmosphere and quietude, as though the bustling port has been momentarily stilled in contemplation.

This oil on canvas is beautifully presented in a linen-lined wooden frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some marks as well as some age spots to the linen section, consistent with age.

Letters from the Past

Sold

SOLD

A poignant mid-century landscape capturing a solitary figure walking beneath a windswept tree, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is stripped to its essentials: a single bare-limbed tree with sparse autumn leaves and a small red letterbox attached to its trunk, standing against a pale blue sky. Below, an elderly man dressed in a dark green overcoat and cap leans gently on his cane as he walks along a quiet path, evoking a tender sense of solitude and reflection.

Rendered in a restrained, minimalist style, the artist has employed loose, confident brushstrokes and a limited, harmonious palette of muted blues and earthy browns. The tree’s branches, painted with gestural strokes, convey the movement of a cold breeze, while the man’s stillness contrasts with the rest of the composition’s subtle motion.

There’s a poetic simplicity to the piece – both melancholic and peaceful.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The composition presents a forest landscape setting, with simplified trees, rolling hills, and a pathway that weaves through the background. The focal point is a striking orange tree that contrasts against the muted greens, browns, and earth tones of the surrounding foliage.

Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully simplified the composition into bold, flat colour planes and geometric shapes, and there is a focus on form, shape, and colour rather than precise detail.

The brushwork is loose yet controlled, suggesting a painterly technique with visible strokes adding light texture.

Objects in Conversation

Sold

SOLD

A calm and contemplative mid-century still life painting that presents a pared-back arrangement of everyday objects rendered with a quiet elegance, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

At the centre sits a pale green bowl, its rounded form contrasted by the angular geometry of a brown-toned box to the right, in which rests a slender stick of darker pigment. Behind them looms a tall, shadowy bottle form, its deep black silhouette anchoring the composition against a softly tonal grey background.

The artist has worked with a restrained yet evocative palette: muted greens, brown, black, cream, and steel blues. The colours are applied in broad, confident blocks, with thick, textural brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand and lend a sculptural weight to the surface. Subtle tonal modulations in the background add depth while maintaining a minimalist sensibility.

Stylistically, the work reflects mid-century modernist tendencies – simplicity of form, clarity of shape, and an emphasis on the quiet beauty of the ordinary.

This oil on board is beautifully presented in a characterful wooden frame with a ribbed pattern, and finished in a light cream with muted gilt edging. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a slight widening to corners but it is in a stable and good condition overall.

Red Chair by the Fireplace

Sold

SOLD

A quietly atmospheric mid-century interior scene depicting a vivid red chair positioned beside a muted-toned fireplace, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition captures a moment of stillness, where the bold hue of the chair punctuates an otherwise subdued setting. The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, greys, and soft greens, allowing the red to command attention and become the focal point of the painting.

Executed in a characteristically mid-century modernist style, the work reflects a minimalist approach to form and detail. The brushstrokes are broad and expressive, revealing the texture of the paint and the artist’s deliberate layering technique. There is a clear sensitivity to balance and geometry, with the verticals of the wall and fireplace contrasting against the angled legs and curves of the chair.

Muted grey-greens and taupes dominate the background, providing a calm, contemplative atmosphere, while the saturated crimson of the chair injects energy and emotional warmth into the composition. The interplay between shadow and light, and the tactile surface of the paint, lend the piece a quiet intimacy that evokes both solitude and comfort.

Seated Woman with Letter

Sold

SOLD

A large and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition presents a contemplative female figure seated on a simple chair, her body angled gently to the side as she holds a folded piece of paper in her hand. The faceless portrayal lends the work a universal quality, allowing the figure to embody both anonymity and intimacy.

The style is distinctly modernist and abstracted, with simplified forms, flat planes, and carefully balanced geometric blocks of colour. The composition is built on interlocking shapes, where body, chair, and background meld seamlessly, reinforcing the quiet harmony of the scene.

The water is rendered with rhythmic horizontal strokes, while the sky and sand are textured with layered impasto, imbuing the painting with a tactile, atmospheric quality. The composition speaks to the raw beauty of nature and the enduring relationship between humans and the sea.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined frame with an inner gilt border. There are some age spots present on the frame as well as along the upper edge of the painting. There is a mark on the left side of outer linen border of the frame.

Size: 78.5 x 91 cm (including frame)

Whispering White Walls

Sold

SOLD

A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist painting, 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 presents a serene cluster of whitewashed buildings, stacked and softened into an abstracted architectural rhythm. The forms are simplified into clean geometric blocks, evoking a quiet hillside village or sun-bleached Mediterranean town. Two slender, almost silhouetted figures stand near the foreground, adding a subtle human presence and a sense of scale without interrupting the overall stillness of the scene.

The palette is beautifully restrained – cool whites, soft dove greys, and muted sage undertones merge gently into one another, creating a dreamlike haze. The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with broad, flat planes of colour that minimise detail and heighten the modernist feel. Shadows and edges are suggested rather than defined, allowing the forms to appear as if they are dissolving gently into the light.

The composition, with its quiet tonal variations and refined abstraction, captures an outstanding balance between calm minimalism and poetic atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame with a layered profile consisting of a soft champagne-gold outer moulding, paired with an inner border in silver. The painting remains in lovely vintage condition, with some light areas of craquelure that do not detract from the overall presentation.

Size: 52 x 60 cm (including frame)

Aquatic Abstraction

Sold

A playful and dynamic mid-century abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

The painting appears to represent a dynamic interplay of shapes and colours, with potential references to fish or sea creatures, hinted at by the blue tail-like form and the aquatic palette.

Abstract in nature, the composition emphasises bold geometric shapes and playful, simplified forms.

The colour palette is rich and vibrant, imbuing the work with liveliness. The thick application of paint gives the forms a tactile quality, making the colours appear more vivid and engaging.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with black edging. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.
