  • Mellow 2

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. The painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.

    Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.

    In this piece, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.

    Her paintings evolve intuitively to find rather than make the work. She continues to build up and simplify until the composition settles cohesively.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 27 x 32 cm (including frame)

    This painting matches perfectly with another piece by the same artist, and you can purchase them as a set here.

  • Mountain Lake

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A semi abstract landscape view of a mountainous lake scene, painted in oil in 1975. There is an almost sketch-like, unfinished feel to this painting, which adds to its abstract quality. Yet when we take our time to inspect the painting, it is evident that the artist was very intentional with his style. Large, expressive strokes fill the canvas with swathes of colour, with some several areas painted thinly, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with reddish brown tints and an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Nude with Blue

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sensitively painted mid century oil, painted onto board.

    A female figure is depicted sitting on a wooden chair, her gaze turned away from us. Expressive and distinct brushwork has been skilfully used to paint this composition – the artist has successfully captured the form of the body, as well as the way the light hits the figure’s skin. Juxtaposed against the neutral and beige tones of the figure is ablue fabric that has been hung over the chair. This pop of colour not only creates a focal point for our eyes, but also brings a cohesiveness to the composition.

    There is a timelessness to this picture that will make it a fine addition to any interior.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile frame with silver highlights. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scattered areas of paint loss, as seen in the photos.

  • River Bridge

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but very impactful and emotive river bridge composition in oil, painted on board.

    This moody painting depicts a lone figure walking along the river, with a large bridge in front of him. The composition features small and delicately painted details that are wonderful to explore. At first glance the picture looks like a dark image of a bridge, but as we take the time to look closely, several details begin to make themselves apparent. – we see the brown stairway to the right, we see little figures and even what looks like a truck going across the bridge, as well as the bridge crossing. The way the artist has used expressive brushstrokes and colour blending to paint in the stairway as well as the reflection of the water and the night sky  shows off his mastery of the medium.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful wide profile gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Road Trip

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A panoramic and ambient large semi abstract mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    As we let our eyes rest on this painting, it takes us on a journey to a place far away. The view point of the composition is reminiscent of being on a road trip, staring out the window looking at the panoramic landscape laid out before us. A long never-ending road stretches out in front of us, with not a soul in sight. There is a softness and quietness to this painting which makes it such a wonderful picture to transport our minds elsewhere. The simple yet very effective composition combined with the  light and minimal colour palette has a meditative effect.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a very complementary mid century frame with a dark outer edge, and linen lined border and an inner gilt window. It is very effective in drawing our sight inward into the painting, enhancing its meditative effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A large arrangement of flowers sit on a table, with 3 candles behind it, and a plate and wine glass alongside..

  • Walking Home

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed and striking landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This framed composition depicts an evening scene of figure walking down a lane towards white fronted house. The artist has used angular lines and flat planes of colour in a restrained palette. The artist has left out realistic details, focussing instead on the lines and forms of pictured scene. The painting features a very skilful balance of forms, and layering and blending of colour. It has a sense of nostalgia to it that is very charming.

    It is housed in its original mid century frame with gilt borders. The painting has some tiny spots of surface paint loss, but these spots are not obvious unless inspected closely. We have included close ups of these areas. The paint layer is stable overall. The frame is also in very good vintage condition.

    A visually pleasant mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

  • On the Fields

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very confidently executed modernist composition in oil, framed and ready to hang.

    Rich and saturated colours fill the canvas, composed in rectangular blocks of contrasting colours. A group of figures are seen seated in the field, presumably taking a rest from a hard day’s work in the field. Both the landscape as well as the figures have been reduced to an outline of forms – the artist has focused on the formal qualities of the scene, emphasising form, colour, shape and line over any realistic details. The result of this is an almost completely abstract composition in non realistic colours that captures the imagination.

    This excellent painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that illuminates the painting beautifully. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Riverbank

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A restful and well-balanced mid-century nature landscape composition of a river bank, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a range of pastel colours – lighter shades filling the top half depicting the leaves and the sky, and slightly darker tones filling the bottom half depicting the river bank and surrounding pasture. There is a wonderful harmony in the colours and it imbues the overall work with a soothing effect.

    Broad and expressive brushstrokes have been applied in a quick and confident manner, and the artist has wonderfully captured the reflections of the trees on the water surface.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame that has a wide profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Strokes (Very Large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK shipping only.

    Measuring over 1.2metres in heights is this sizeable mid century abstract oil composition, painted in 1956.

    Large swathes of brushstrokes in planes of juxtaposing colour create a composition full of depth and texture. The angle of the planes of colour seem to make the painting recede inwards, creating an almost tunnel like effect towards the centre of the composition. The artist has used a wide brush, leaving the strokes of the brush on the canvas visible. We get a sense of the artist moving his arms as he swashes colour over the canvas in a considered way, bring careful to give each colour its space and prominence.

    The large size, vivid colour palette and textural effect would make this painting a statement piece in any interior.

    This mid century painting is housed in a very well suited frame. The painting has some light craquelure to its surface (commensurate with age and the thickness of the paint) but it is stable overall. The frame is also in good vintage condition.

  • Winter Homes

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large post-impressionist modernist style winterscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas in 1941.

    In this enchanting painting, rows of houses and trees are depicted on snow-filled streets on a winter’s day.

    Post-impressionist in style, there is a strong emphasis on geometric form, bold colours and distinctive brushstrokes.

    The artist has used a rich and vivid colour palette including shades of red, orange and green that imbue the painting with a lively and festive feel. The expressive and short brushstrokes add a lovely textural quality to the painting.

  • Cadence

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A very large and distinctive mid century abstract oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The artist has not shied away from a dark and heavy palette, applying long and textured brushstrokes in varying shades of black, grey, and brown. The piece is filled with emotion – there is a sense of heaviness and moodiness to it which is just brilliant. We get a sense that the artist is painting in a cathartic manner, expressing his inner feelings onto the canvas. The way some areas of the paint has been allowed to drip down is particularly poignant too.

    This wonderful oil on canvas is housed in a simple wood frame.  There is some light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition overall.

  • Figure in Pastel

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed nude figure study in pastel, framed behind glass.

    This nude study captures the female form elegantly and expressively. The artist has used long, narrow lines to outline the form, and used hatching to capture the three dimensionality of the  form of the body, giving the drawing a sculptural quality. A different technique has been used to fill in the background – it seems the artist has used the pastel to colour over a textured surface to create a dappled effect.

    The pastel has been beautifully framed in a wood and gilt frame, and is set behind glass to protect the vulnerability of the medium. Both pastel and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Figures at a Pier

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist composition in oil, painted in 1957 by well known artist Ivar Morsing.

    In typical Morsing style, he has chosen to focus on formal qualities of line, shape, form and colour. He creates beautiful harmony on the canvas, applying contrasting blocks of saturated colour to the surface, illustrating his cubist influences which he is most known for. Strong, rich, and vivid colours of orange, red and white are set against a sky blue. The chosen palette and the was he has placed the complementary colours gives each shade and tone its own prominence.

    This stunning oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there are some age spots and scuffs on the frame.

    Dynamic strokes of layered colour create this painting full of depth and detail.

  • Indefinite

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and well-executed abstract composition, executed in oil in 1960.

    With its non-representational and spontaneous appearance, the work is composed with elements of colour, shape, line and form.

    Painterly fluid lines, swift brushstrokes and dabs as well as geometric and amorphous shapes have been repurposed to form this striking cohesive work of art.

    Using an array of warm and inviting earth-tone colours of brown, orange and red, the artist has skilfully distributed and layered the lighter and darker tones – making the overall work very well-balanced.

    The surface of the painting has also been coated with a layer of varnish. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on board is housed in a charcoal grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age) on the top left of the painting, as well as a scuff in the middle. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. As with the frame, there are minor scuffs and a small area of paint loss on the bottom left, as shown in the images.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • Ladies Lunch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking and brilliantly mid century cubist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting depicts two female figures seated at a balcony table, with a jug and two glasses in front of them. Beyond the balcony is an ocean view with the setting sun.

    The artist has reduced the scene down to its formal qualities, focusing on shape, line, pattern and colour. The figures and the scene surrounding them have been painted from multiple angles under a cubist ethos, resulting in a composition that appears fragmented and abstracted. The artist has also restricted his colour palette, using a majority of vivid red, brown, white and orange in different tones. Notwithstanding the fragmentation and palette, the painting is wonderfully balanced and sings with harmony.

    This piece would make a very striking addition to any interior and would be a real statement piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some damage to the inner section of its lower right corner, as shown in the close up photos.

    Size: 50 x 86 cm (including frame)

  • Lady in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun and playful cubist line portrait composition in oil, painted in 1975.

    The female figure’s form has been rapidly distilled into lines of dynamic shape and movement. A style of drawing /painting used by artists like Picasso and Matisse, line art is a tool for the artist to work out complicated ideas, crystallising them with brilliant virtuosity into linear form. Today the influence of line art is everywhere and can be regarded as one of the fundaments of an almost infinitely versatile graphic language. It can be seen not only in the works of countless artists, but also in graphic design, advertising, animation, and equally at home in a viral gif, on a billboard or in museums or galleries.

    Here the artist has also condensed his palette down very effectively into shades of one colour – blue. Beyond the black outline, the picture retains its sense of depth and space through the skilful use of the varying gradients of blue.

    This painting is housed in a simple silver frame that suits it very well, and is in very good vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to the frame which do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Monument

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking scene of two figures in a continental town square surrounded by landmarks, painted in oil onto board. This painting has been worked in the ‘post impressionist’ style,  characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork. We see loose dabs of the brush, painted in non-naturalistic colours. The artist has chosen not to paint the town scene as it appears in reality, but has instead imbued with an energy, light, and dynamism that shows off his or her emotional connection with the townscape. The town appears quiet, with only two figures visible, but the artist has painted the architecture surrounding them with such vigour that they carry life and energy of their own.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in an original gilt frame with an inner linen and white border. The frame has some marks and scuffs (as seen in the photos)

  • Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very striking mid century abstract modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1955.

    Blocks of colour skilfully contrasted against each other create a sense of depth and space. The artist has reduced what appears to be a mountainous landscape down to an abstract layout of coloured blocks, focussing on form, shape, pattern and line. We can almost feel the artist at work – creamy layers of paint applied with his brush, one stroke at a time, his wrist moving in a series of angles.  Punches of strong, deep colour juxtapose against lighter, creamier, areas. This painting is  indeed a very satisfying one to appreciate.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Ruby Cottage

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1937.

    The artist has used a wonderfully earthy and rich colour palette to depict this rural landscape, punctuated by rusty red cottages. A group of trees focus the eye to the centre of the picture, while melting snow on the ground encourages our yes to move around the painting and discover further details.  Expressive brushstrokes and a coarse texture add to the earthiness of the picture, and skilfully convey the character of the landscape and its rustic nature.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century distressed frame, with gilt outlining. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Lemons

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century still life composition in oil, painted in 1962.

    This still life features a beautifully textured surface, with the artist using very thickly applied layers of paint to create areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. In this composition, we are able to discern a group of lemons and limes in a white bowl, but the artist has left out realistic detailing, focusing instead on the texture and colour of the objects and background. There is a deliciousness and tactility to the creaminess of the thick paint, almost as if the artist is using the medium of paint itself to capture taste and texture of the pictured fruit.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • The Trio

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and whimsical oil painting depicting 3 extended human heads outlined in red, seemingly in conversation.

    The artist displays his artistic talents – playing around with form, geometric shapes, colour as well as the application of paint – to make this painting a visual feast for the eyes.

    Blocks of light pastel colours have been skilfully applied onto the canvas through the use of a palette knife. This not only creates a smooth and creamy texture, but the way the layering and blending of colours have been revealed adds an element of depth and charm.

    This striking oil on canvas is housed in a thin light grey frame that complements the work very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
