Figures in Flux

Sold

SOLD

An emotive and dynamic figurative composition that captures two abstracted figures side by side, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1984.

Executed in an expressive modernist style, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and a semi-abstract approach to form. The palette is dominated by yellow, orange, and black tones, softened with earthy pinks and pale blues. The brushwork is fluid yet textural, lending the surface a raw, spontaneous quality that enhances the emotional immediacy of the scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometric Abstract Collage in Rose

Sold

SOLD.

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

The surface is covered in faded rose-hued cloth, visibly aged with subtle textures, creases, and discoloration that speak to its previous life as part of a book cover. A horizontal seam running across the midline subtly divides the work, adding a sense of structure and time-worn narrative.

At the centre is a vertically oriented, geometric element: a column of interlocking trapezoid-like shapes made from different tones of book cloth—warm creams, deep burgundies, and soft pinks. These shapes form a slightly curved band, suggesting movement or tension, and are carefully aligned to echo the handmade precision of textile patchwork or marquetry.

Geometric Abstract Collage in Sienna

Sold

SOLD

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

The background is composed of a richly textured, burnt orange surface made from aged book cloth, divided horizontally at its midpoint, enhancing the piece’s sense of structure and symmetry. The material bears the worn, mottled patina of time, evoking a tactile warmth and nostalgic depth.

Centrally placed is a vertical arrangement of nine small rectangles, each made from a different swatch of book cloth. These blocks vary in hue—soft blues, warm reds, ochres, deep burgundy, and neutral beige—and are carefully aligned to form a grid-like column. Their tight geometry contrasts with the organic wear of the background, creating visual tension and balance.

Geometric Abstract Collage with Dots

Sold

SOLD

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame, showcasing a harmonious balance of geometry, texture, and earthy tones.

The design features six evenly spaced circles arranged in two vertical columns—three white on the left and three shades of red on the right—against a textured warm brown background. The surface of the panel retains the subtle wear, creases, and grain of the original book cloth, giving the piece a tactile, aged quality that suggests both history and reuse.

The division of the background into top and bottom halves by a horizontal seam adds structural interest and hints at the collage-like assembly of materials.

Lakeside Village

Sold

SOLD

A large and vivid mid century modernist landscape scene in oil, painted onto canvas.

It depicts a lakeside village with two houses flanking a winding road that leads the viewer’s eye down to a shimmering body of water. In the background, dark rolling hills or mountains form a dramatic horizon beneath a streaked, lightly clouded sky tinged with orange.

The artist employs bold, impasto brushstrokes, giving the surface rich texture and dynamic movement. The strokes are visible and directional, shaping elements like trees, rooftops, water, and hills. The painting captures the rustic charm and quiet drama of nature. Its swirling strokes and vibrant yet moody palette evoke a feeling of nostalgia, solitude, and emotional connection to place.

The painting is housed in a wide profile frame which suits it well. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some general age wear to the frame, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Still Shores

Sold

SOLD

A serene and minimalist modernist style coastal landscape oil painting dated 1972, 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.

Small in size yet impactful, the composition captures the quiet harmony between land, sea, and sky in a distilled coastal scene. The composition is divided horizontally, with a cool expanse of pale blue water occupying the lower half, gently meeting a strip of muted earth tones – browns and greens – that represent a distant, tree-lined coast. Rounded, blocky foliage punctuates the landscape, offering visual rhythm and balance.

Executed with flat planes of colour and simplified shapes, the style reflects mid-century modernist sensibilities — favouring form and mood over detail. The brushwork is smooth and restrained, emphasising the clean geometry of the scene and lending it a meditative stillness.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but is in good condition overall.

The Scalloped Basket

Sold

SOLD

A vivid and striking mid century modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto board.

This painting is a semi-abstract still life with bold shapes and expressive brushwork. It features a dark bowl or basket with a scalloped white rim sitting on a patterned, richly coloured surface, possibly a tablecloth. Next to the bowl are two round yellow and green fruits, likely a lemon and an apple.

The tablecloth has a fragmented, mosaic-like design in deep reds, blues, and blacks, creating strong visual texture and depth. The bowl or dish dominates the left side of the composition, with jagged white accents that contrast sharply with the dark background. The fruits on the lower right provide a pop of colour with their bright yellows and greens. The background wall is pale, divided into two contrasting patches of cream and olive green, adding to the geometric structure of the piece.

The painting is expressionist in style, with loose, energetic brushstrokes and abstracted forms. It emphasises contrast—between light and dark, soft and sharp, warm and cool tones. The mood is introspective and slightly mysterious, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene beyond its literal objects.

This oil on board is housed in a simple wood frame which draws attention to the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Rendered in a bold, impressionistic style, the artist has used thick, visible brushstrokes that give the painting a dynamic texture and movement. The colour palette is rich and striking, dominated by warm yellows, deep greens, and earthy oranges, contrasted by cooler blues in the sky.

Welsh Lady in Red

Sold

SOLD

A small and engaging portrait composition , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

This painting is a stylised folk-art portrait of a woman in traditional Welsh attire, depicted against a muted dark grey background.

The woman has a calm, composed expression, rendered with flat tones and clean lines. Her face is pale with light pink cheeks, framed by grey hair and large, round green eyes that give her a distinctive gaze.

The portrait is simple, direct, and evocative, capturing a historical or cultural figure with clarity and charm. It pays homage to regional dress and tradition, using bold colours and a stylised, illustrative approach that adds personality and warmth.

This oil on board is housed in a really lovely wood frame with a gilt trim. 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.

SOLD

A striking mid-century modernist abstract painting that presents a fragmented and abstracted seated figure, rendered through a dynamic interplay of geometric and organic forms. The composition is a fusion of bold shapes and layered textures, evoking a sense of movement and depth.

Assembly of Hats

Sold

SOLD

A intriguing mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures a crowd of anonymous figures viewed from behind, unified by their distinctive broad-brimmed hats. Executed in oil on canvas, the work reflects the era’s modernist leanings—eschewing facial detail in favor of bold, graphic silhouettes and rhythmic repetition.

The palette is anchored in deep navy, forest green, and burnt orange, punctuated by pale blues. The background is a rich mustard yellow, adding warmth and contrast to the cooler tones of the garments. The brushwork is assertive and unrefined, with expressive, visible strokes that lend texture and energy to the scene.

Sold

SOLD

A mid-century modernist landscape painting that captures a tranquil autumnal scene with soft, expressive brushstrokes., executed in oil onto board.

The artist has used a subdued colour palette, blending earthy greens, deep browns, and soft pastels to create depth and harmony. The brushwork is loose and gestural, particularly in the rendering of the trees, where overlapping strokes suggest the movement of leaves in a light breeze.

Beneath the Arch

Sold

SOLD

An evocative semi-abstract mid-century modernist interpretation of the Viaduct in Algeciras, Spain, painted in oil onto canvas 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.

A lone, abstracted figure stands beneath an arched colonnade in the foreground, gazing out across a wide promenade that curves gently toward a serene coastal horizon. In the distance, geometric blocks suggest buildings or containers, subtly evoking the industrial and maritime character of the port city.

Modernist in its ethos, the work takes on a reductionist, semi-abstract approach, and emphasises shape and composition over fine detail. Blocks of colour form a carefully balanced arrangement, where the solidity of forms meets the openness of sky and sea. The palette is composed of a mix of muted and earthy shades, creating a harmonious interplay between land, architecture, and atmosphere.

Brushstrokes are smooth and deliberate, with areas of subtly blended paint that enhance the sense of calm and space. Gentle tonal transitions and curved perspective lines draw the eye toward the horizon, giving the work a meditative quality.

Boulders

Sold

SOLD

A very well executed mid century modernist semi-abstract landscape depicting a rocky shoreline with water reflecting the rugged terrain, painted in oil onto canvas.

The scene features large rock formations in both the foreground and background, possibly part of a coastal or lakeside setting. The water is calm, reflecting the shapes and colours of the rocks, creating a mirror-like effect. In the background, hills or cliffs rise up, depicted in broad, angular shapes.

The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a textured, layered appearance. The artist uses both soft blended areas and sharp, angular strokes, which adds a dynamic, almost cubist-like abstraction to the rocks. The water is rendered with fluid, sweeping strokes, capturing the movement of light and reflection.

This painting conveys a sense of tranquillity and natural beauty, focusing on the interplay of light, texture, and form. The bold, simplified rocks contrast with the fluid reflections in the water, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition. The artist’s expressive brushwork and modernist approach make this piece feel both timeless and contemporary, evoking the serenity of a quiet coastal landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well suited silver frame, complementing the cool tones of the sky and water while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but is in good condition overall.

Geometric Fun

Sold

SOLD

A very unique original abstract artwork, made up of paper that has painted, embroidered and then stitched together.

The paper has been stitched to create a three dimensional form that is mounted onto board and protected behind glass. The paper has been painted with an abstract composition using acrylic paint, and each alternating strip has been painted with different colours. As a result, the artwork changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. If viewed from the right, we see a geometric patterning of red, black and yellow. When viewed from the left, a series of angled lines criss-cross across the lighter coloured surface. Although it is technically a static piece, we have in fact a very dynamic artwork that changes constantly. The paper itself has also been embroidered with an intricate pattern which gives it textured detail, visible when viewed closely.

The artwork is presented in a black frame and protected behind glass. It is in very good condition. Ready to hang.

Grounded

Sold

SOLD

A wonderfully executed mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

In this atmospheric composition, the artist has applied the paint thickly, creating lots of areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) and variation in texture. Depicting what appears to be a rural landscape, the lower section of the painting has richer, earthier colours in broad sweeping brushstrokes . This juxtaposes against the lighter top half of the painting which has been painted in a mixture of white and lilac, with hints of blue underneath, alluding to the depth of layers within the painting.

There is a really earthy quality to the piece, and its abstract subject makes it an easy fit into most interiors.

The painting is housed in a silver leaf wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Horizon in Fragments

Sold

SOLD

A bold and rhythmic composition mid-century modernist style painting that captures the essence of an abstracted landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

White edges and bare patches of the underlying surface provide breathing space and contrast, giving the composition a spontaneous and layered appearance.

The painting depicts three women standing together in conversation at a sidewalk, dressed in cloaks and long skirts, each holding objects like baskets or vases. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a manner that draws the viewer’s eye through each figure sequentially.

Modernist in its ethos, the forms are simplified, and there is a focus on shapes and texture rather than intricate details. This allows the viewer to appreciate the overall composition and mood.

The painting exhibits a heavy impasto technique, with thick, textured brushstrokes that create a tactile quality on the canvas. The earthy tones and muted colour palette adds an introspective mood to the piece.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs and marks.

Size: 64 x 80.5 cm (including frame)

Soft Skies

Sold

SOLD

A soothing and restful mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1966.

This painting is a textured, impressionistic landscape, capturing a broad expanse of countryside under a soft, partly cloudy sky. The composition showcases a rural landscape with fields stretching into the horizon, interspersed with patches of green vegetation and a light-coloured path or stream that cuts diagonally through the terrain. Earthy tones dominate—soft browns, greens, ochres, and muted purples—suggesting late summer or early autumn. The sky is rendered in pale blues and creams, giving a calm, open feel. The view is wide and slightly elevated, leading the eye from the foreground into the hazy distance, evoking a sense of openness and tranquillity.

This painting conveys a peaceful, contemplative mood, with a focus on natural beauty and the rhythms of the land. The expressive brushwork and muted colour scheme suggest a deep connection to the landscape, while the impasto adds energy and texture, making the scene feel alive and immediate.

This oil on board is housed in a very complementary wood frame with a linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 49 x 54 cm (including frame)
