  • The Valley

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically mid century modernist oil on board, framed and ready to hang.

    Reminiscent of the landscapes of French painter Paul Cezanne, this large post-impressionist landscape of houses by the mountains carry those same distinctive repetitive and exploratory brushstrokes found in Cezanne’s work. The artist here reconstructs nature through purely painterly forms, flattening the space and using faceted brushstrokes. The planes of colour and small brushstrokes build up to form complex fields, creating a visual feast for the eyes.

    This well executed painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some very minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Vibrant Island

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and energetic modernist style oil painting of Riddarholmen, a small island in central Stockholm, Sweden.

    Rendered in a semi abstract manner, the artist displays his artistic talents by using contrasting blocks of rich colours to give rise to the various forms in this charming landscape, and to create depth within the composition.

    Swift and energetic brushstrokes have been confidently executed, and we can feel feel the liveliness of this vibrant island.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary robust gilt frame that has some scuffs (as shown in the images) but this is in keeping with its overall style.

  • An Encounter

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century oil painting of a standing figure, painted onto canvas in a distinctly modernist style.

    The artist has focussed in on a single figure – a man stands in an alley, looking straight on at us. What would normally be quite confronting is softened and made friendly – the man stands casually with his hands in his pockets. Although his expression is undiscernible, we get a sense that this is a friendly and familiar encounter, someone we know, a father, a grandfather, an uncle.

    The figure is painted against an abstract background, but we can just about make out buildings on either side. There seems to be a luminosity and reflection in the way the artist has painted the background, perhaps a suggestion that it has just rained.

    This large and beautiful semi-abstract portrait is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age toning to the fabric, as shown in the photos, but this is commensurate with its age.

    Size: 87.5 x 60 cm (including frame)

  • Blue Glass

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very elegant medium sized painting mid century floral in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple but very effective composition of flowers (lily of the valley) in a cobalt blue blown glass vase, sitting quietly on a window sill.  The artist has played with shape and form, depicting the vase of flowers against an abstracted background. The colours of the background cleverly correspond with the colours of leaves and vase, creating a wonderful sense of harmony within the picture.

    This abstracted floral oil is housed within its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs to its edges but this is in keeping with its style and age and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Light brushstrokes and muted warm earthy colour tones including yellow and green fill the canvas,  imbuing this painting with both a tranquil and nostalgic feel.

    This oil on canvas is beautifully framed in a grainy wood frame with an inner and outer gilt window. The painting is in overall very good vintage condition although there is a small area of minor craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) commensurate with its age.

  • Women at Work

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and very unique mid century oil, painted on to canvas.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist has captured the hustle and bustle of an open street market. Several groups of figures fill the canvas, punctuated by a row of red trees to the left hand side. The artist has used a wonderfully earthy palette of rusty red and browns, which gives the painting a lovely homely feel. Consciously leaving out specific realistic details, the artist plays with colour, shape and form. As a viewer are eyes are left to explore these formal elements, which come together effectively and harmoniously, giving us a very palpable sense of what is going on and the feel of the scene.

  • By the House

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The board on which the fabric is attached to is slightly uneven. There are some minor scattered surface marks to the fabric, typical for its age. The artwork is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffs to its edges.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and nicely textured modernist city landscape, executed in oil. 

    The work presents an architectural view of Cadaqués, a town in Spain. Rows of white stone houses with areas of greenery form this panoramic view; and the artist has selected a wonderful earthy colour palette of brown, beige and green tones that imbues the work with a sense of calm. 

    The painting is a visual feast for the eyes – with areas of heavily applied paint creating a raw textural effect that captures the rough and granular nature of the stone on the buildings.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a robust wood frame with unique beige and red undertones. There is a small scuff to the top edge of the frame, but this does not detract from the painting.

  • Chic

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A joyful and visually striking semi-abstract mid century oil portrait by Swedish painter Hans Osswald, whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm as well as the Malmö Museum.

    The painting depicts a silhouette of a stylishly dressed woman wearing tie, set against a well-coloured background.

    A myriad of rich and bold shades have been used to create this well-balanced composition; and the artist has skilfully used several layers as well as blocks of contrasting tones to reveal form, texture and interest.

    Broad and expressive brushstrokes that have been executed so confidently fill the canvas, adding a lovely texture and imbuing the work with liveliness. Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are scattered areas of craquelure, and also small areas of paint loss to the lower right corner of the painting. However, this is in line with its vintage feel and does not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

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

  • Mother

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large and very unique gouache painting of a mother feeding her baby, painted in a distinctly modernist style.

    The subject of the painting – a mother breastfeeding her child – is an intimate, personal one. Yet intriguingly, the style in which the artist had chosen to depict this scene seems to remove this element of intimacy, at least at first glance.  What we notice at first are the lines and shapes rather than the actual scene.  The artist has created a geometric effect within the picture, playing with shape, form, line, colour and pattern. Bold outlines in black demarcate each of the coloured sections, imbuing it with an architectural effect.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined slip.  The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some age toning to the inner section of the frame, and some minor scuffing to the outer edges. The painting is set behind a thick pane of glass.

    The artwork depicts a table top setting featuring a group of mushrooms, placed against a soothing green coloured background.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

    Swift and lively brushstrokes fill the canvas; and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skillfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.

    This oil on board painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, of which has some areas of marks and scuffs, as well as age toning to its inner section.

    SOLD

    A wonderfully executed semi-abstract modernist style mixed media painting.

    The artwork presents figures of a mother and child, composed from cutout geometric and angular shapes to create the respective forms.

    The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene.
