    A mid-century still life painting that presents an abstract yet structured arrangement of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board.

    A mid-century modernist painting that presents a tranquil seaside scene, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting features two abstracted figures seated near a boat.

    The sky is painted in soft, washed-out tones of beige and pale blue, giving the scene a weathered, vintage aesthetic. A few wispy clouds add depth, while the sea is a flat, uniform blue, reinforcing the folk art style’s simplicity.

    Presented in a thin gilt frame, the painting has a nautical, old-world charm. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

    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 Expectant Nude

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist figurative portrait of a reclining pregnant nude figure in a relaxed yet expressive pose, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject’s form is simplified and abstracted, rendered in warm, earthy tones with gestural brushstrokes that emphasise movement and texture.

    The artist has used a loose, expressive technique with visible, confident brushwork, creating a sense of raw energy. The muted palette consists of beige, brown, and soft blues, harmonising the composition while highlighting the play of light and shadow across the figure. The background remains abstract, with atmospheric swathes of paint suggesting an interior space without rigid definition.

    Overall, the dynamic lines, swift and energetic brushwork, and emotive colour application contribute to an evocative portrayal of maternity and the female form.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffing.

  • Geometric Abstract in White

    £325

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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 checkerboard design is asymmetrically positioned, drawing attention to its placement within the larger composition. The use of muted greens and neutral tones adds a natural, organic feel, bringing attention to the age of the fabric.

    This piece reflects influences from Bauhaus design, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and modernist abstraction, celebrating simplicity, balance, and the beauty of imperfection. Its quiet elegance makes it a contemplative and visually soothing work.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang,

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

  • Lemon & Pears

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1980, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The artwork captures an arrangement of bright yellow lemons and rich purple grapes resting in a blue bowl, complemented by green pears placed on a deep red tabletop. A brown pitcher stands in the background, along with patterned wallpaper and a blue wall, adding depth and contrast to the scene.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and focusing on clarity and boldness rather than texture or intricate detail.

     

    This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame and and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is  scuffing to corners and edges of the frame, as shown in the close ups.

    Size: 34 x 39 cm (including frame)

  • Coastal Horizons

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape that captures the essence of a tranquil shoreline, executed in oil onto board and dated 1977 on the reverse.

    The work exhibits an abstract, yet expressive style, characterised by a loose, painterly approach, and focuses on the interplay of form and colour as opposed to realistic details.

    The artist has used broad and gestural brushstrokes, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The use of short expressive dabs used to paint the landscape and sky contrasts with the smooth, almost ethereal handling of the water and sand, which adds character to the painting.

    A harmonious palette of soft blues, whites, and muted earth tones dominate the work, infusing the scene with a calming aesthetic. The cool blues of the water contrast gently with the muted sands, while touches of olive green and yellow along the shore evoke the natural beauty of the scene.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary solid wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.
