    A striking mid-century modernist landscape rendered in a semi-abstract style, that captures the sculptural quality of the natural terrain through bold, expressive brushwork and a refined palette, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition evokes an arid canyon vista, where red earth forms and sand-coloured ridges converge beneath a hazy, pale sky. A deep green tree anchors the right side, its foliage built with rapid, textural strokes that suggest movement and volume.

    The artist’s confident handling of paint emphasises texture over detail, using broad, angular brushstrokes to sculpt the land into almost architectural planes. Muted purples and earthy reds contrast against softer neutrals and golden tones, lending the scene both depth and warmth. With its modernist sensibility and harmonious abstraction, this piece distills the landscape into its essential shapes and energies, offering a timeless interpretation of place through form and colour.

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

    $1,676.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    A solitary figure stands silhouetted against a dusky ochre sky, bathed in the stillness of twilight. A full, pale moon hangs suspended in the background, casting a quiet presence over a geometric urban landscape rendered in rich, earthen browns and shadowy forms.

    The central figure, wears a softly patterned yellow garment that glows against the muted backdrop. Her jet-black hair is stark and angular, echoing the blocky architecture behind her. A small yellow cup, almost symbolic, rests at the bottom edge – a tender detail that anchors the composition with quiet intimacy.

    Executed in a restrained palette of warm browns, creams, ochres, and charcoal, the painting features smooth, matte brushwork and soft, flat colour fields, characteristic of post-war European modernism. The artist’s style is contemplative and distilled, evoking introspection and a serene, poetic stillness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited silver frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Market Day in the Square

    Market Day in the Square

    $766.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century Naïve style street scene that captures the rhythm and warmth of a local European town square on market day, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The composition presents a bustling yet orderly gathering of figures amid open stalls and sunlit awnings, set against the backdrop of a grand building with a steep red roof and tall chimney that anchors the composition.

    Executed in a naïve, folk-modernist style, the figures are rendered with simplified forms and minimal detail. The artist has used flat, blocky colour planes with earthy ochres, deep forest greens, navy blues, and brick reds, punctuated by soft greys and muted yellows in the cobbled square and overcast sky.

    Brushstrokes are direct and purposeful, with little blending. A defining feature of this work is the use of deep blue outlines – used not only to demarcate figures, umbrellas, and building edges, but also to bring coherence and rhythm to the composition. These cobalt contours give the scene an illustrative quality, emphasising form over detail.

    Overall, this work balances architectural geometry with the spontaneity of human life and community.

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

    A small yet very impactful mid century abstract figurative oil composition, by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The painting captures the delicate stillness of a seated female figure through a haze of muted earth tones and gestural brushwork. The composition is softened by a palette of dark green, cream, dusty rose, black, and pale blue, evoking a dreamlike ambiance.

    The figure, loosely rendered, appears to be draped in a light dress, reclining against an abstracted backdrop that hints at foliage or stone. The artist has used confident, impressionistic strokes to blur the boundaries between subject and setting, allowing light and shadow to dissolve form. The painter’s technique embraces abstraction, with layered brushwork and softened edges creating an evocative play between motion and stillness.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profile gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it is in very good condition overall.

    $1,055.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.
    The paintings in this series respond to the calming presence of the colour green. Frances consciously spends as much time as she can outside. She lives close to woodlands and fields, making it easy to be immersed within greenery. Resting in Green seeks to capture the varying shades of greens within a snapshot of plants and how the relationship of these colours can form interesting compositions.

    This fluid, abstract composition immerses the viewer in a serene, verdant atmosphere. Dominated by various shades of green, interwoven with hints of olive, moss, turquoise, and muted ochre, the work evokes the sensation of being enveloped by nature.

    Organic, curvilinear forms ripple across the canvas, overlapping and intertwining in a way that mimics the foliage that Frances is inspired by. She employs layered brushwork and soft transitions between tones, creating a gentle rhythm that guides the eye across the piece.

    There’s a meditative stillness in the work, capturing the quiet energy of an abstracted garden. Despite its abstraction, the composition feels balanced and harmonious, with light and dark greens playing off each other in a soothing visual dialogue.

    Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    The foreground is shaded, with rich, dark greens and earthy browns suggesting the coolness of the woods. As the eye travels along the path, the scene brightens, culminating in a radiant burst of light filtering through the trees in the background — the “light at the end” referenced in the title.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A semi-abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract depiction of what appears to be a woodland scene dominated by pine branches and cones. The artist uses thick, impasto brushstrokes and a cool, earthy palette of blues, greens, whites, and deep browns to capture the textures and dynamic forms of the forest.

    The pine cones and branches are rendered with bold, almost sculptural application of paint, and the artist has added a sandy aggregate, giving the canvas a textured, tactile quality. The diagonal sweep of the central tree branch and scattered cones conveys a sense of movement, as if observed in a moment of wind or natural disarray.

    The background is filled with vertical strokes of cool blue-greens suggesting trunks or dense undergrowth, while the pale, almost snowy backdrop provides contrast and depth. This interplay of light and dark, texture and fluidity, evokes the feeling of standing among trees in a winter or early spring forest.

    A surreal and richly symbolic painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting presents an enigmatic architectural interior scene that feels suspended between the past and the surreal. At the lower left lies a creature with piercing blue eyes, emerging and integrated into the patterned textile ground. Scattered elements including a large clay pot, transparent orbs, and an engraved oval tablet evoke archaeological relics, rituals, and memory.

    Rendered in a meticulous, linear texture, the architectural backdrop features soft arches and doorways.

    $962.00

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.

    Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.

    The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.

    A quietly arresting figurative painting that captures a fleeting, introspective moment seen through a reflection of a mirror, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    A solitary figure stands before the mirror, partially obscured by reflection and shadow, dissolving into the textured surface of the paint. The viewer becomes part of the act of looking, drawn into the layered spatial tension between the real and the reflected.

    The mirror reveals a richly hued interior behind the subject – a warm orange -toned room with a red chair tucked casually to one side – hinting at the domestic life unfolding just beyond view. The cool white wall outside the mirror’s edge contrasts with the golden glow within, creating a striking division between inner and outer worlds.

    Executed in a bold, gestural style, the painting features expressive brushstrokes and texture. The palette balances cool with warmer earthy tones, while the confident abstraction of form imbues the scene with both intimacy and ambiguity.

    At the Counter

    $1,786.00

    Available

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and compelling mid century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted onto board by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The scene captures three stylised figures possibly engaged in an exchange at the checkout – a familiar ritual rendered with striking simplicity and emotional weight.

    The central figure, dressed in black, appears to be a shopper in mid-transaction, while the figure in pale blue behind the counter suggests a cashier. A third, more ambiguously defined figure stands nearby, perhaps another customer or a child. The figures are abstracted, skilfully reduced to essential shapes.

    Thick impasto brushstrokes and rich textural layering give the work a tactile presence. The palette is earthy and architectural – orange, muted greens, brick reds, and cool greys – punctuated by flashes of white, lemon yellow, and cobalt blue, adding moments of vibrancy to the otherwise grounded tones.

    The composition is rhythmic and architectural, with geometric planes converging to form an abstracted treatment of space and perspective. The flattened forms and overlapping fields of colour speak to the artist’s modernist sensibility — elevating the ordinary to the iconic.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

    The artist has used a muted palette of cream, olive, and greyish lavender tones, lending the piece a contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate and refined, with soft gradations in the background that contrast against the sharper, sculptural treatment of the objects. Shadows and textures are subtly modulated, evoking both stillness and presence.

    Harbour View

    $774.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures an abstracted waterfront scene rendered with bold geometric blocks and restrained tonal contrasts, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The viewer’s perspective is elevated, possibly from a balcony or overpass, looking out across a harbour populated with moored boats and a white ferry gliding through calm waters.

    The artist has used a flattened, semi-cubist approach to space and form, using simplified shapes and thick, deliberate brushstrokes to construct the architecture and landscape. A palette of muted greys, brown, rust, and soft blues evokes an overcast or wintry atmosphere, while the warm orange of the lower rooftops adds grounding contrast.

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

  • Rhythms of the Wind

    Rhythms of the Wind

    $919.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist abstract painting that captures the essence of a dynamic landscape through expressive colour and bold, gestural form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Angular hills in deep burgundy, forest green, and charcoal anchor the composition, while slender white tree trunks stretch vertically across a kaleidoscopic backdrop.

    The trees, with their loosely rendered, wind-blown canopies of green, sway dramatically, suggesting motion and energy. The background unfolds in blocks of pastel and saturated hues – blue, lavender, peach, lemon yellow, and vivid cyan – creating a sense of fragmented light and spatial ambiguity.

    Executed in lively, expressive brushstrokes and confident swaths of colour, the work evokes both the emotional resonance of nature and the structural experimentation of modernist form. The artist’s bold palette and rhythmic composition echo the influence of abstraction while retaining a distinctly personal and poetic sensibility.

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

  • Coastal Path

    Coastal Path

    $1,259.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric and expressive landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It is a dynamic, abstracted landscape that captures the essence of walking along a windswept shoreline trail. It blends expressive brushwork, shifting textures, and a vivid, elemental palette to evoke both the physical and emotional experience of the coastline.

    Pink dashes and shapes dance across the centre, adding rhythm and possibly indicating human presence, wildflowers, or directional markers on a path. The brushwork is loose, textural, and emotionally charged, capturing fleeting impressions over literal depiction.]

    Overall, the painting conveys solitude, discovery, and elemental energy. It’s less about representing a specific location and more about evoking the feeling of being immersed in nature—the wind on your face, the shifting weather, the wide horizon ahead. It celebrates the freedom and introspection of walking the edge between land and sea.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Enclosure

    Enclosure

    $1,514.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large, rich and vivid abstract composition, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    This vivid abstract composition  is defined by bold colour fields and energetic gesture, evoking the sensation of boundary, structure, and containment within nature or memory.

    It is dominated by a large central mass of deep red, bordered by a sharp vertical white line on the left and a curved pale blue line sweeping across the middle. To the right, a vibrant orange block contrasts with cooler greens and earth tones in the lower and left portions. The composition is off-center and dynamic, with the eye pulled toward the intersection of curves and edges.

    The brushstrokes are expressive and textural, with areas of scraped paint, blending, and layering giving a sense of physical depth.

    The painting could allude to land boundaries, personal space, or emotional states—open to interpretation but rich in atmosphere. There’s a sense of tactile exploration and spatial ambiguity, making the piece both visceral and contemplative.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Snowy Rooftops

    Snowy Rooftops

    $723.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet evocative mid-century abstract painting that presents an interpretation of a wintry urban landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    Likely viewed from an elevated vantage point, the composition depicts snow-covered rooftops and architectural forms simplified into bold planes and tonal contrasts, hinting at chimneys, dormers, and stone facades under a muted sky.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of cold greys, browns, and beiges, the painting evokes the quietude of a snow-blanketed city. The brushwork is dynamic yet deliberate – broad, textured strokes create rhythmic abstractions of built forms, while impasto accents add depth and tactile intensity. The work borders on abstraction but retains enough figuration to suggest a real, lived environment – familiar yet stylised.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Southern Shore

    Southern Shore

    $1,259.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric and expressive abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It captures the emotional essence of a coastal environment rather than a literal depiction, using abstract forms and a painterly style to evoke the energy, complexity, and richness of the scene.

    Earthy tones of red, brown, black, and orange dominate the central form, possibly alluding to rock formations, cliffs, or human structures. The bottom area is awash with cool greys, off-whites, and hints of gold, possibly representing a beach or tidal flat.

    The atmosphere is introspective yet vigorous, echoing nature’s forces—wind, water, erosion—while remaining grounded in abstract expressionism.

    The style is gestural and semi-abstract, reminiscent of mid-20th-century European modernism, where landscape becomes a conduit for emotional expression.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Zennor

    Zennor

    $1,514.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very atmospheric landscape painting, painted onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    This semi-abstract landscape powerfully captures the wild, changeable atmosphere of the Cornish coast, likely inspired by the moody environment near the village of Zennor in southwest England.

    The sky dominates the composition with a bold expanse of turquoise blue, suggesting a clearing or break in weather. A large, dark grey cloud mass occupies the centre, rendered with sweeping, smudged strokes that create a sense of motion and tension. Deeper greens, browns, and black at the bottom evoke moorland or rugged earth, painted with energetic brushwork and scraped textures.

    The painting exudes a dramatic, elemental energy, evoking the feeling of standing exposed to the sky on coastal high ground, just before or after a storm. It feels both expansive and intimate, caught between serenity and threat—hallmarks of Cornwall’s raw natural beauty.

    This painting  is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Chair by the Wall

    Chair by the Wall

    $1,302.00

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist style composition of an interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1948 by the established Swedish artist Rune Janson (1918-2004), who’s artworks have been displayed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum and other museums in Sweden and the National Gallery in Oslo and the Centre Georges Pompidou Paris.

    The painting captures a simplified interior scene anchored by a solitary wooden chair, rendered in bold, gestural strokes. Positioned against a backdrop of abstracted architectural forms, the composition distills a domestic setting into its essential shapes and tones.

    Modernist in its ethos and executed in an expressive style, the artist has used wide, confident brushstrokes and a palette of muted shades including purple, orange and blue. The chair – angular and minimally detailed – is positioned diagonally, its presence both grounded and abstract, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space.

    The painting’s flat planes and rhythmic blocks of colour speak to the influence of European modernism, where figuration merges seamlessly with abstraction. The brushwork is raw and tactile, allowing the texture of the paint and canvas to resonate with emotional immediacy.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
