The Laundry Room
£625
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A lively 1977 interior figurative painting that captures a lively domestic moment within what appears to be a laundry room, executed in oil onto canvas.

A group of women are absorbed in their individual tasks: lifting sheets, folding linen, tending to fabrics, and moving rhythmically through the shared space. The presence of cribs in the foreground adds a gentle narrative rhythm, evoking themes of care, routine, and collective responsibility. The scene feels observed rather than staged, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life.

Executed in a gentle modernist figurative style, the composition prioritises atmosphere and emotion over strict realism. Figures are simplified and slightly elongated, their forms softened into painterly silhouettes. The spatial arrangement guides the eye fluidly from foreground to background, creating a sense of continuity between the women, their tasks, and the surrounding architecture. Tall arched windows allow light to pour into the space, reinforcing the feeling of calm routine and shared purpose.

The palette is dominated by delicate, muted tones – powder blues, greens, soft creams, and pale lavenders – punctuated by warmer accents of rust, ochre, and terracotta in the figures’ garments. These gentle colour harmonies evoke cleanliness, light, and quiet introspection, reinforcing the contemplative tone of the scene.

Brushwork is loose, expressive, and economical. Forms are suggested rather than fully defined, with thin veils of paint layered transparently to create softness and luminosity. Edges blur into one another, allowing figures and environment to merge subtly, while occasional firmer strokes articulate gestures and movement. The overall effect is intimate and atmospheric, capturing not only a place, but the lived rhythm and quiet humanity of shared work.

This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary slim white wooden frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 67 x 87 cm (including frame)

Walking Home Together

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century naïve style street scene painting that captures a gentle moment of everyday life, as two figures walk side by side along a softly curving village road, executed in oil onto board.

Modest houses with pitched roofs line the street, their forms simplified into harmonious blocks of colour, while a tall green fence guides the eye toward the distance. The figures, seen from behind, lend the composition a quiet intimacy and a sense of unspoken narrative – suggesting companionship, routine, and the calm rhythm of a small town.

The work balances figurative detail with abstraction. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, and perspective is slightly naïve, giving the scene an almost memory-like quality.

The palette is soft yet expressive: muted blues, sage greens, and warm browns are offset by gentle greys and creamy whites. Occasional accents of pastel pink and lavender add warmth and visual interest without disrupting the overall calm.

Loose, confident brushstrokes are applied with visible texture, particularly in the road and building facades. The paint handling feels intuitive and painterly, with layered strokes that create movement and depth while maintaining a relaxed, unpolished charm.

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

Shoreline Colour
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century coastal landscape that captures a cluster of moored boats rendered through a beautifully abstracted, almost mosaic-like lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

The shoreline is broken into faceted blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic, geometric energy. Tall, slender masts rise in delicate lines against a soft pastel sky, while the boats themselves are simplified into angular shapes that evoke both structure and movement.

The palette is fresh and inviting – greens, cool aquas, deep cobalt blues, warm yellows, and touches of plum and lavender. These colours overlap in gently textured layers, creating a harmonious interplay between land, sea, and shore.

Brushwork is subtle yet expressive, with short, blocky strokes and light scumbling that mimic the look of hand-pressed prints or coloured pastels. The surface feels lively and tactile, lending the coastal scene a sense of breezy spontaneity while remaining distinctly modernist in its composition and restraint.

A charming and quintessentially mid-century piece that celebrates coastal life through shape, rhythm, and colour.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary grey painted wood frame with an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

View Over the Valley

Sold

SOLD

A lively and expressive mid-century landscape that captures the rhythmic undulation of the countryside, painted in oil onto canvas board.

The composition presents golden fields that meet a glistening blue river that winds through lush green pastures. Two modest cottages rest on a sunlit slope to the left, their earthy tones anchoring the composition amidst the sweeping expanse of colour.

Painted in a loose, confident hand, the artist has employed bold brushstrokes and gestural layering to evoke the vitality of nature rather than a literal depiction. The palette is rich yet harmonious: yellows, greens, blues, and touches of pink convey the shifting light of a late afternoon sky.

The painting balances movement and structure beautifully, with the angular geometry of the hills and houses, while the spontaneous and energetic brushwork lend it a tactile, almost musical energy.

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.

Fields in Late Summer

Sold

SOLD.

A serene and wonderfully textured modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1972.

The painting captures the quiet rhythm of open landscape beneath a soft, pale sky. The composition unfolds in broad, horizontal sweeps of cultivated land – patches of green and yellow fields stretch toward the horizon, gently intersected by blue-tinged furrows and tree lines.

Painted with a confident impasto technique, the artist has applied thick, expressive strokes that build texture and movement across the canvas. Each ridge of paint conveys the tactile feel of the earth and the shifting play of light on uneven terrain. The palette is harmonious and naturalistic: grassy greens, golden yellows, and cool hints of blue balance against a delicate, misty sky.

Woman in a Pink Blouse

Sold

SOLD

A contemplative modernist figurative painting that depicts a seated woman before a softly rendered natural backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

Her dark bob frames her lightly sketched expression, lending the composition an air of introspection and quiet distance. The figure’s mauve-pink blouse, trimmed with ruffled lace, contrasts subtly with the muted greens and browns of the forested landscape behind her.

The artist has used a delicate balance between precision and restraint: the background is softly diffused with translucent washes, while the figure’s form is more sharply delineated. The lower section of the painting introduces a striking geometric interruption: a striped band in cream, burgundy, and brown – that recalls textile or interior motifs, grounding the work in a unique aesthetic.

Brushstrokes are measured and matte, with thinly applied layers that allow the canvas texture to breathe through. The palette is subdued yet harmonious, evoking a faded photograph or memory : an image caught between presence and absence, realism and abstraction.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting features a group of figures rendered in a simplified and indistinct manner, suggesting movement or interaction in a serene, almost dreamlike environment.

Abstract in nature, the figures are obscured, and their forms are perceptible only through carefully applied brushstrokes and contrasting colours which hint at their structure.

The muted palette is dominated by soft tones of beige, cream, and light blue, accented by darker shades of black. These colours create a harmonious and calming composition while adding a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, applied with a sense of spontaneity and emotion.

Seaside Promenade

Sold

SOLD.

A soothing mid-century coastal scene painting that depicts a group of figures strolling along the edge of a beach, framed against a vast expanse of sea and sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

The figures are loosely rendered, their forms blending into the shifting sands and soft spray of the tide, creating a sense of transience and movement. Two smaller figures appear in the foreground, suggesting a family outing or leisurely gathering at the water’s edge.

The painting is executed in a semi-impressionistic style, with broad, fluid brushstrokes capturing the energy of the ocean and the play of light across the water. The sky dominates the composition, filled with sweeping clouds in layered whites, greys, and soft blues, giving the scene a sense of both grandeur and atmosphere.

The palette is natural and harmonious – muted greens, sandy ochres, pale creams, and cool blues evoke the breezy, shifting qualities of a coastal landscape. The figures are touched with deeper, warmer hues, providing contrast and rhythm against the softer tones of sea and sky.

The brushwork is expressive and spontaneous, with textured layering that enhances the sense of movement in the clouds and the restless tide. The overall impression is one of fleeting beauty – a captured moment of everyday life along the shoreline, alive with atmosphere and painterly vitality.

The artist has used impasto techniques with energetic brush movements that create a palpable texture across the canvas. Rich greens, browns, and sandy beiges define the coastal terrain, while varying shades of blue and lavender bring dynamism to the sea. Accents of crimson and cobalt heighten the visual tempo, offering flickers of contrast within the organic flow.

Evocative of Nordic coastal scenes and post-impressionist influence, this painting exemplifies the mid-century modern ethos: emotional immediacy through painterly gesture, simplified forms, and a harmonious interplay of colour.

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

Summer Reading

Sold

SOLD.

A serene mid-century scene depicting two women seated beneath dappled trees on a sunlit lawn, absorbed in quiet leisure, executed in oil onto canvas.

The figures They sit on mint-green folding chairs, one reading while the other holds a small object in her hands – perhaps a flower or letter – suggesting a gentle intimacy and stillness in the moment. Beyond them, pastel-hued cottages with pitched roofs and sunlit façades peek through the trees, evoking the charm of a summer afternoon in a peaceful village garden.

The colour palette is rich – cool sage, olive, and moss greens intersect with muted stone greys and soft sky blues, creating a harmonious balance between earth and air. The sky is painted in a smooth gradient of pale blue, acting as a calm contrast to the dynamic, textured land below. Each stroke is deliberate and expressive, laid down with visible directionality, giving the impression of wind pushing across the hillsides.

Executed in a modernist-impressionist manner characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian painting, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and a light, airy palette. The treatment of form is simplified yet expressive, focusing on the harmony of colour and light rather than detail.

The composition is suffused with soft greens, pale blues, buttery yellows, and lavender shadows, creating a tranquil, sun-dappled atmosphere. The brushwork is loose and painterly, with visible strokes that suggest movement in the leaves and shimmering sunlight across the grass.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
