A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.
This painting emphasises the beauty of still life, where a group of everyday objects that are normally ignored are placed centre stage, forcing us to look and notice their shape, form and colour. Here the artist has juxtaposed contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space. The broad and expressive brushstrokes add an element of tactility to the painting as well. Overall, there is a wonderful luminous and diaphanous quality to the painting.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a cream coloured linen border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
Size: 44 x 53 cm (including frame)

A semi abstract mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1943.
This unique portrait features an abstracted figure with his hands together, depicted in a painterly style. Loose and broad brushstrokes have been applied in several layers, created a wonderful depth, complexity and illumination to the painting. As we take the time to study the painting, the varying layers slowly reveal themselves, giving us an insight into the artist’s process.
Just as unique as the painting is the frame in which it is housed in. Set in a purple-blue frame with decorative indents evenly spaced around the frame, it adds a real element of interest to the painting and also complements the colour palette of the painting beautifully.
Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is some minor wear to the inner window of the frame but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

The colours and style of this painting would certainly make it a statement piece in any interior.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a dark wood window as well as an inner linen lined window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The painting has some minor scuffs and marks, commensurate with age.

A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.
This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.
What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.
The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An energetic and expressive mid-century oil on canvas depicting an abstract coastal landscape scene.
Simple yet effective in its composition, we see a scenic view of a coastal trail with hills in the background. The artist has simplified this scene down to planes of contrasting colours with thin blue outlines, and intentionally leaving areas of the canvas exposed. Through the use of vibrant colours and swift painterly brushstrokes, the artwork has a very uplifting quality to it.

A charming mid century modernist still life in oil dated 1949, painted onto canvas which has then been laid down to backing board.
The composition depicts a vase of flowers among some fruit and another vessel. The painting features deep and vivid colour, creating a lovely moody effect. There is a timelessness to the painting, which focuses on shape, colour, line and form. The artist has intentionally made bold black outlines visible, drawing our attention the shape and form of the objects depicted, which have been set against a background that plays off the colours of the objects.
The painting is housed in a unique distressed bronze frame, with an inner linen lined window. There is some wear to the upper left corner of the painting as shown in the close up. The frame has some general signs of ageing.

A beautifully ambient and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
To the foreground of the composition, a set of railway tracks create a sense of depth and lead our eyes inwards into the picture, where we are met by a set of shipping cranes. To the left of the composition we see a ship docked, and figures underneath the crane. The artist has used a restrained colour palette, focusing on an array of blues, greens and greys to create this wonderfully misty and moody scene. He has used blocks of colours and bold outlines to create the forms and shapes within the picture that give the picture its depth. We get a sense that it is early morning by the harbourside, before the fog has lifted.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning linen lined frame with an inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A rather charming mid century modernist portrait composition in oil.
Here the artist has paid full attention to the sitter – an expectant mother. The painting has a timeless quality to it – we are not given any context of place or time. Yet the paradox here is that we know this is capturing a very particular moment in time and a very particular scenario that is relatable to many. The artist has not included the sitter’s facial details, choosing instead to focus on her form, and the way the light hits her body and her dress.
This beautifully sentimental painting has a quiet strength to it, capturing a very special moment in time. It is housed in a lovely gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some areas which have been painted over, as seen in the close up photos.

A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid century oil, painted onto board.
A row of farmhouses lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above that pan out in to 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, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky which mimics the lightest greens of the fields.
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 in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame, that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of scuff on the frame.

A large and delightful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
This picturesque neighbourhood scene depicts a narrow street running through quaint and distinct red houses, set against a scenic landscape view of hills and mountains in the background. A little figure can be seen in the foreground of the painting, cycling through the village street.
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. It’s ‘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.

A warm and embracing mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.
Falling under the umbrella of ‘genre painting’ or ‘narrative art’, this wonderful painting tells us a story. A group of people sit around a fire, watching a man in a hat play the guitar. Our view point places us (the viewer) very much a within the scene, as if we too are sitting in this circle, listening to the musician. In the forefront we see a couple with the man’s arm around his partner. The figures facing are painted in golden light, emitting the warm glow from the crackling fire in front of them. The colours of the fire can also be seen again the musician’s hat, face and guitar. The background is an cobalt blue, capturing the essence of the night sky.

A very well executed and distinctly mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto board.
With cubist tendencies, the artist has fragmented the scene into a series of curved shapes and lines, almost as though we are looking at the scene through broken glass. The structure of the nets that the fishermen are laying out continues into clothes of the men as well as the surrounding sea and sky. This modernist ethos focuses on formal qualities such as shape, line, form, colour and pattern. The recurring lines and patterns make it fun to spot particular details that could easily go unnoticed unless observed closely, such as the birds in the sky as well as the boats to the left of the composition.
The painting is housed in a lovely wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
