£400
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century landscape painting that presents a serene forest scene where a winding path meanders into a shadowy grove of trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

The viewer’s eye is drawn down the textured pathway, flanked by grass patches and surrounded by trees rendered in deep green hues. A subtle interplay of light and shadow suggests a dappled afternoon sun filtering through the foliage.

Executed in a loose, expressive manner, the painting embraces abstraction without losing its representational roots. Gestural, confident brushstrokes dominate the canvas, especially in the foliage and pathway. The texture is richly layered, with heavy dabs of paint that suggest spontaneity and energy, while more subtle blending in some areas provides balance and depth.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with a hessian lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffing present.

Village Pathway
£575
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures a female figure walking along a village pathway, gracefully balancing a vessel on her head, executed in oil onto board.

The woman, dressed in a flowing blue skirt and dark top, is set against a backdrop of geometric, almost abstracted row of houses that recede rhythmically into the distance.

Modernist in its ethos, the artist has reduced the scene into bold, flattened forms and simplified shapes. There’s a more structured feel in the angular rooftops and the faceted treatment of architecture and landscape, while the figure maintains a sense of movement and gesture.

The colour palette is muted, with gentle contrasts between warm and cool tones. The bright blue of the skirt stands out as a focal point, anchoring the viewer’s eye.

The paint is applied with deliberate, confident strokes – thick and flat in some areas, with visible texture. The brushwork emphasises shape and form over fine detail, enhancing the painting’s graphic, almost mosaic-like quality.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Figure in Blue
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract figurative painting that presents a seated figure rendered in deep, expressive shades of blue and green, executed in acrylic onto card.

The figure, loosely defined with minimal facial features, appears to lean against a structure – possibly a chair or a window ledge – exuding a contemplative or introspective mood.

The artist has used a bold and gestural approach, characteristic of mid-century abstraction, with broad, sweeping brushstrokes that create movement and depth. The composition is dominated by a cool colour palette of blues, teals, and emerald greens, punctuated by lighter areas that suggest illumination.

The contrast between dark, shadowy areas and lighter highlights enhances the sense of atmosphere, while the figure’s simplified form retains an element of mystery and ambiguity.

This acrylic on card is framed behind glass, and is presented within a card mount. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Grapes & Pears
£1,000
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The composition features a golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

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

The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

This tempera on board is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and serene modernist painting that captures a quiet waterfront scene with minimalistic charm, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

The composition features two docked boats beside a boathouse, nestled against a backdrop of stylised green trees. A lone figure stands near the entrance of the boathouse, adding a subtle human presence without disrupting the painting’s calm ambiance.

Modernist in its ethos, the composition has been rendered in a flat, geometric style. The artist has skilfully deconstructed and simplified the scene into blocks of contrasting colours using expressive yet flat brushstrokes through horizontal layering that demonstrates depth to the painting. A muted yet harmonious palette of dusty greens, soft greys, beige, and pale blue have been used, imbuing with work with a soothing quality.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape painting that captures the quiet stillness of a snow-covered shoreline, executed in oil onto board.

A gentle path winds through the foreground, flanked by patches of exposed earth and subtle hints of foliage. Sparse trees – both evergreen and bare-branched – rise gracefully across the scene, while a frozen lake and distant forested hills fade softly into a muted grey sky.

Rendered in an almost abstract style, the composition emphasises simplicity and mood over realistic detail. The artist has used a muted palette dominated by subdued greys, whites, pale yellows, and earthy browns, with soft green and red accents adding quiet contrast.

Brushstrokes are short, expressive, and lightly textured – applied in a loose, painterly manner that creates a gentle rhythm throughout the piece. This approach conveys both the crispness and the quietude of a winter day.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame with yellow tints. The painting has some very small surface marks to the left side as shown in the close ups, but it is in very good condition overall. The frame has some slight age wear but is also in good condition overall.

Geometric Still Life
£850
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

The central object that punctuates the composition is a light blue pitcher, whose elongated shape gives it a strong presence .Surrounding the pitcher are geometric shapes—a blue cube, a yellow block, and a lemon—that create a rhythm of forms around the central figure. The background consists of abstract, overlapping planes in warm as well as earthy tones – with shades of yellow, brown, red, and green, adding depth to the composition.

This piece reflects the modernist focus on simplification and abstraction, capturing a scene through shapes, colours, and a deliberate absence of fine detail.

Apple & Dancing Forms
£650
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within a card mount and a stained black wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex.

Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

A large mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This expressive gouache painting features a collection of abstract, stylized human figures, arranged vertically against a bold turquoise background. The figures are outlined with heavy black lines, giving them a graphic, almost childlike quality. Each character has a distinct presence but is rendered with simplified forms and exaggerated facial features.

The gouache medium allows for bold, opaque colour application, giving the painting a vibrant, matte finish. Visible brushstrokes and unrefined edges enhance the raw, expressive energy.

Overall, this piece feels dynamic and full of personality, with a playful yet intense aesthetic that invites viewers to interpret the relationships and emotions of the figures.

The painting is presented within a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Much of Enos’ work on paper from the 1950s to 1970s uses gouache, often in tandem with other media. Gouache allowed his joy and passion for colour to shine. Enos’ work straddled the worlds of figurative and abstracted art as he dipped into both with equal enthusiasm.

This vibrant gouache painting showcases an abstract, expressive portrait of a figure, executed with energetic, gestural lines and a vivid colour palette.

Dominated by electric blues, purples, reds, greens, and black, with accents of yellow, pink, and white. The intense use of colour creates a dynamic, almost chaotic atmosphere.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and vibrant mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lvoatt (1937-2018).

This gouache painting presents an abstract, expressionist portrait of a human face. The figure is stylised, with exaggerated features and bold, energetic lines that convey a sense of intensity and emotion.

Dominated by deep shades of red, purple, black, and blue, with accents of vibrant yellow and cyan. These contrasting colours create a strong visual tension.

Overall, the painting feels charged with emotional intensity, inviting viewers to interpret the subject’s inner world through its bold, non-traditional portrayal.

A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and 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 artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

The light source from the left side casts soft shadows on the tablecloth, enhancing the sense of depth and texture. The background features a wooden interior with vertical strokes, adding a sense of structure and warmth. The painterly quality of the piece suggests movement and emotion, reminiscent of Cézanne’s approach to still life, with objects slightly distorted yet carefully arranged to create harmony.

The thick application of paint and visible brushstrokes add to the tactile quality of the painting, making it feel both intimate and dynamic. The scene captures a moment of quiet simplicity, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty in everyday objects.

The painting is presented in a really lovely wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Quiet Repose

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist figurative composition that presents a reclining nude figure resting upon a rich dark-toned fabric, painted in oil onto board and dated 1954.

The composition embraces a raw, expressive approach, with the subject’s form rendered in muted tones of peach and sand, contrasting against the deep charcoal-grey and blue backdrop.

The brushstrokes are gestural yet controlled, with visible layering that gives the painting a raw, evocative quality. The background is treated with an abstract approach, allowing texture and movement to emerge through deliberate, almost impressionistic strokes. The subdued yet contrasting palette—featuring deep red and navy tones beneath the figure—creates a sense of depth and warmth.

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

Drift and Thought
£530
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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 figure on the left, clad in a striking yellow coat, appears to be engaged in quiet reflection, while the darker-clothed figure in the foreground seems to be writing or sketching. A boat, rendered in bold strokes of blue and red, rests on the shore, adding a strong geometric contrast to the muted landscape.

Executed in a modernist style, the artist has skilfully simplified the forms into blocks of contrasting shades, and has used a restrained yet effective palette.

The vibrant yellow of the coat and the red of the boat capture our attention, as they stand out among the overall subdued shades that imbue the work with a soothing quality.

The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, applied with a sense of immediacy and texture that enhances the painting’s tactile quality.

The composition is carefully balanced, with the diagonal placement of the boat and figures guiding the viewer’s eye across the painting, creating a sense of depth.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary champagne frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The brushwork is dynamic and textured, with visible bold, sweeping strokes that emphasise movement and energy. The interplay between thick layers of paint and areas of exposed canvas adds to the raw, expressive quality of the piece.

Layered Horizon

Sold

SOLD.

An engaging and striking mid-century abstract landscape painting that captures a dynamic and expressive interpretation of a vast horizon, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition is structured into horizontal bands of colour, evoking a layered terrain of fields and hills, under an expansive sky. The painting’s abstract nature allows for multiple interpretations, and there is a focus on colour and form over literal representation.

The artist has used a vibrant yet earthy palette, featuring warm oranges, greens, and fiery reds, contrasted against soft blues and off-whites. These colours are applied in thick brushstrokes, creating a beautiful textured surface. The expressive layering and gestural lines contribute to a sense of movement, as if the landscape is shifting under the viewer’s gaze.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some very minor scuffing to the frame, but it is in good condition overall.

Interior with Painting
£490
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and uplifting mid-century modernist painting that showcases a richly decorated interior scene, executed in oil onto board.

The composition features a still life arrangement in the foreground and a vibrant seaside painting adorning the wall. The scene is anchored by a patterned tablecloth draped over a round table, which holds a bowl of fruit, a ceramic dish, and a guitar. Surrounding the table are striped upholstered chairs, adding an inviting atmosphere to the space. In the background, a framed painting of a lively harbour with colourful sailboats adds a lively quality to the scene.

Executed in a Fauvist-influenced, post-impressionist style, the painting embraces bold colour choices, flattened perspective, and an expressive, spontaneous approach to form. The composition plays with pattern and contrast, reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s interior scenes, where objects and décor hold as much visual weight as the background elements.

The brushwork is lively and gestural, with painterly strokes adding texture and vibrancy. The artist has used a loose, expressive technique, giving the composition an energetic and dynamic feel.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.
