    Sold

  • Collected Fictions

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 20 x 15 cm (including frame)

  • Desert Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

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

  • Desert Sunset

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

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

  • Distance

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    A figure wandering across a stretch of greenery lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above that pan out into the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.

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

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

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

  • Enchantment

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An exuberant and enchanting modernist harbour city streetscene, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966, by Swedish artist Uno Vallman (born 1913) 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.

    Painted in a very distinctive style, this striking painting emphasises rich colouring and decorative pattern as it presents a cityscape with a harbour and a street scene filled with people and animals.

    Vallman has used a plethora of lively colours, characterful dotted patterns and textured brushstrokes, infusing the work with an optimistic ambiance, and this fun and playful oil would make for a brilliant statement piece in an interior space.

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

  • Figures in Abstraction

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

  • Golden Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and bold mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Featuring a rich and opulent colour palette, this modernist composition depicts the facades of several houses within a village, surrounded by trees. The forms of both the buildings and trees have been executed confidently, with an emphasis on formal elements such as line, shape and colour. Jewel like ruby reds and emerald greens juxtapose against the brighter yellows and pinks of the house walls. Non-naturalistic in both colour and form, the artist conveys the way in which the golden light envelops the little town and brings it to life.

    This oil on board is housed in a gilt and green detail frame which complements the painting’s colours very well. There is a small area of paint loss to the top left section of the painting, as shown. There are some scuffs and light wear to the frame, commensurate with age.

  • High Street

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very charming mid-century street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is inherently a delight to look at – with a myriad of details from this everyday scene to admire in a very lively colour palette. It presents a street scene lined with narrow and tall buildings, each having a different exterior front and brimming with character. In the foreground, people from all walks of life are going about their day. We can see a security guard guarding a building, a milkmaid pushing a cart with a milk jar, a young boy on his scooter, and a lady buying some goods from a stall.

    The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness and frankness. There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. Its ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek –  to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wide-profiled gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Impasto Bouquet

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

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

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

Each form has been defined by bold black outlines, and all realistic details have been intentionally left out, focusing our attention instead on colour, form and texture.

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

  • Soul

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An absolutely brilliant mid century nude study, painted in oil and dated 1944.

    In this composition a female figure sits on an intricate fabric, her gaze turned away from us. The minimalist palette of her body sits in contrast to the richly coloured fabric below her, creating a wonderful juxtaposition. The artist’s brushstrokes are long and expressive, giving this piece its painterly feel.

    Although we don’t know the story behind this painting, the inscription on the reverse which translates to ‘My first and greatest love’ hints at the figure’s significance to the artist and imbues the painting with so much more meaning.

    The painting is housed in a really lovely deep profile frame which suits it wonderfully. The painting has some light age marks and the frame has some scuffing, but neither of these detract from the attractiveness of the piece.

    Set against a tranquil backdrop of muted taupe and white tones, the interplay of fluid shapes painted in distinct vibrant colours commands our attention and makes this painting a visual delight.

    Rich shades of orange and red exuding warmth and liveliness dominate the canvas, together with pure white, black, and forest green shades. These colours are arranged in a dynamic yet harmonious manner, evoking a sense of balance and cohesion.

    Furthermore, the painting features a smooth finish that enhances its overall aesthetic appeal.

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

    Size: 45 x 55 cm (including frame)
