  • White Horses

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and expressive mid-century landscape of 2 horses in nature, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground of the painting, our attention is immediately drawn to the 2 horses, as their white colours contrast starkly against the green meadow.

    As we move our gaze upwards, the painting subtlety reveals a dramatic sky that dominates the middle and background of the painting. The sky is painted in an outstanding shade of blue, and upon closer inspection, we can notice black undertones, that create a sense of intensity. There is also a spot of yellow which we can infer to be the setting sun, as well as an area of black, which we can infer to be the dark clouds emerging.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. There are scattered areas of craquelure, mainly to the centre of the painting, as shown, but paint layer is overall stable. There are also small areas of paint loss to the upper left corner of the painting, as shown. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

    Roosters

    £259

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A truly striking and vibrant scene of a pair of roosters set within an expressive landscape dotted with trees and other animals. This painting has an exceptional three dimensional quality to it, with very thickly applied brightly coloured oils on the canvas. The artist has caked on the paint and has then shaped it, not using a brush, but with a palette and fingers.  Here the artist has used the paint not simply to depict part of the picture, but to be part of the picture. These techniques are reminiscent of modernist artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, whose use of paint was often pronounced and dramatic, as is the case with this painting.

    The scene taking place has much to offer, with other animals appearing in unexpected places. Every aspect of this picture has been given a life of its own – the swirls of the trees, the dynamic strokes of the sky, the comma like stabs of the grass. Wonderful contrasts of colour and different forms of paint applications lend a sense of depth, and create such an array of interesting features to notice.

    This oil on stretched canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is unframed but can be hung as is.

  • The Shepherd

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A restful mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    A magnificent lush green tree punctuates the center of the painting, dominating the canvas and drawing our immediate attention to it. Beneath the shade of the tree, a shepherd is seated, accompanied by a small flock of sheep grazing peacefully. They are sat on a vast expanse of light yellow fields that stretches into the distance.

    The artist has used a combination of expressive as well as soft brushstrokes, and together with the gentle colours, the painting evokes a sense of contentment and restfulness.

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

    Sold

    A very confidently executed modernist composition painted in oil onto board, and dated 1964.

    This painting presents a figure and a donkey with a load on its back, crossing through a desert, with hills in the background.

    Realistic details have intentionally been omitted, and planes of contrasting muted colours have been used to demonstrate form and depth to the artwork. Painted in an expressive manner, the artist has used distinct painterly multi-directional brushstrokes that add a soothing and rhythmic touch to the painting.

  • Toreador

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid-century modernist composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A matador, exquisitely dressed in a tailored suit adorned with intricate patterns, stands confidently in the center of the arena as he holds a red muleta and is faced with a bull.

    Behind them, a sea of indistinguishable yet well-dressed onlookers are present. Their silhouettes blend together, emphasizing their role as collective spectators rather than individuals. The absence of facial detailing allows the viewer to focus on the spectacle unfolding in the arena.

    The colour palette used in this well-executed painting is rich and saturated. These bold colours infuse the scene with energy and reflect the artist’s desire to evoke strong emotions and create visual impact.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century linen lined frame with an inner and outer wood window. There is a little age toning to the linen border, and the frame’s corner joins have widened slightly. However the appearance is still very good and the frame is stable. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. Please note that there is some glare in some of the photos due to the shiny finish on the piece.

  • Modernist Cow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A captivating mid-century modernist landscape composition, executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    The composition features a cow in a landscape setting amidst trees. Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has skillfully simplified and reduced the composition into varying shapes of contrasting colours, enhancing the modernist style of the painting.

    Emphasizing the interplay of shapes and colours,  we can discern trees in geometric shapes of green and purple, and the pasture landscape in brown and mustard yellow.

    Flat brushstrokes and the use of a muted colour palette featuring earthy tones and subdued shades blend harmoniously together, creating  a refreshing yet relaxing feel to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones. There is some light scuffing to the frame, but the appearance is still very good.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Wild Swimming

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed modernist figurative oil composition, signed and dated 1978 by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    The painting encapsulates the essence of a modernist aesthetic, with a minimalist approach and focus on capturing the inherent beauty and simplicity of everyday moments.

    Capturing a serene outdoor scene, a figure in a robe appears to have just come out of the river before him after having a swim. He stands in the foreground, towelling himself dry. Behind him, a loyal canine companion stands faithfully, providing a subtle touch of companionship and his presence enhances the feeling of comfort within the setting.

    The background of the painting is adorned with blocks of light and gentle muted colours, predominately featuring shapes of orange and green. The blocks create an abstract representation of the surrounding environment, with the interplay of soft muted hues evoking a sense of tranquillity and balance.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in execellent vintage condition.

  • Fish Bowl

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quirky and fun semi abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board in 1957.

    This playful composition has a paradoxical quality to it – depending on what you choose to focus on, you could see bowls, or fish or just shapes and patterns, or a combination of all at once. The colour palette is vivid and distinctive, making it a very striking piece. The texture of the board substrate underneath shows through which gives it that very tactile quality, typical for a mid century modernist piece.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile off white wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some general signs of age related wear.

  • Donkey Cart

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very charming modernist composition of a cityscape by a waterfront, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this picturesque scene, a man in a donkey cart punctuates the foreground of the painting. They are on a pathway that leads up to a cityscape in the background of the painting, and passing through a strikingly teal coloured water and sky.

    The artist has skilfully painted the cityscape in a semi-abstract manner, reducing it down to blocks of contrasting muted shades with bold outlines. The combination of short and expressive brushstrokes juxtaposed against longer and smoother strokes adds character to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is some ageing to the frame which is completely in keeping with its style.

  • Geometric Horse

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid century cubist composition of a horse, painted in gouache onto paper and framed behind glass.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has removed any ‘superfluous’ elements from the form of the horse, to reach a simple linear abstraction, reducing it down into shapes and lines. Simple yet effective outlines stand out against a lovely pastel background of lilac, sky blue, purple and cream.

    The painting is presented within a card mount, and framed in a simple wooden frame.  The painting is in good vintage condition. There is age toning to the mount, as shown.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful mid 20th century oil painting depicting a small and adorable black sheep surrounded by 5 other white sheep all grazing in nature.

    The surrounding wooden landscape with warm and rich colours has impressionist qualities, as loose and expressive brushstrokes have been applied quickly to give the painterly illusion of spontaneity.

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

  • Don Quixote

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Seemingly a nod to the Spanish novel Don Quixote, this delightful mid century narrative oil painting features a host of animals, people and objects, executed in a Naïve style.

    The man on the horse to the bottom left, the house with the windmill, and the second man on the donkey (presumably), are perhaps all references to the first modern novel Don Quixote.

    Putting aside the references, the painting is inherently a delight to look at – with a myriad of details and flying animals to admire in a very lovely colour palette. It speaks of a freedom to paint whatever one chooses, in a style that relinquishes all constraint that comes with art created within the traditional system.

    It would make for a great statement piece, or even a playful piece for a child’s room.

    The painting is housed in a lovely gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Magpies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun and striking mid-century semi abstract modernist composition of magpies, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting depicts three magpies in nature, standing on a tree branch and surrounded by green leaves.

    Containing elements of cubism and abstraction, the artist has fragmented this composition down to shapes of contrasting colours and sizes using a rich and lively palette. Not only has he skilfully created an appearance of a stained glass window, but he has also created a sense of three-dimensionality in the way the respective colours are paired and  contrasted together.

    This painting is housed in a wood frame with an inner linen lined border. There is some slight wear to the paint surface on the artwork, but this is commensurate with age and does not detract from its overall attractiveness. There is a small loss to the lower left section of the frame, as shown in close ups.

  • Kitty

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and very striking abstract modernist oil composition of a seated cat, painted onto canvas.

    This really well executed semi abstract painting of a cat has a heavy emphasis on line, shape and colour. The artist appears to have used one continues thick black outline to create the shape of the cat, and has added 4 large angular geometrical shapes presumably to signify the patches of colour on the cat. All this is set against a vivid red background, set within a gorgeous gilt frame.

    Given the size of the painting, it would make a brilliant statement piece in an interior. The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner grey border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Horseback

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really fun and striking mid century modernist landscape composition with cubist elements, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Here we see four figures on horseback by the coast, with an orange roof house to the left of the picture. The artist has very clearly focused attention on capturing the formal qualities (shape, form and colour) of the landscape and figures. We are made aware of the flatness of the canvas (a typically modernist ethos), as the picture is essentially a range of carefully placed coloured shapes, yet there is a still great depth to the composition. The colours are vibrant and striking, and the composition is balanced and very harmonious.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a slim wooden frame, which complements the painting very well.  The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

    A beautifully executed mid century composition in oil, painted in 1949.

Long, gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas with thick paint, creating a wonderfully textured effect.  The artists skilful and expressive brushwork blends the paint beautifully to create the three dimensional forms of the animals. It is clear that the artist has incorporated more than just the visual scene before him – we get a sense of the way the light hits the meadow, the slight wind in the air, the movement of the sky above and the blades of the grass below.

    Free UK shipping.

    A very large and very bold original mid century composition in oil, painted in 1967.

    In this striking painting, a figure stands with arms held high, carrying a fish. Three birds circle the figure and fish, and a round, shining yellow sun shines down from the top right corner. The painting has been painted in a distinctly modernist style, taking influence from the simplified, stylised and monumental figures of Iberian and African tribal art and sculpture. The celebratory way in which the figure holds up his catch imbues this painting with such joy and exultation.
