Cup Collective
£350
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemporary still life painting that presents a playful arrangement of cups, each uniquely patterned and simplified into bold, graphic silhouettes, painted by British artist Annemarie Derrick in 2025.

The composition features eight cups and mugs, neatly arranged in a grid, their individuality revealed through distinct decorative motifs – spots, stripes, florals, and sunburst designs.

The style is characteristically contemporary with a nod to mid-century design sensibilities, balancing minimalism with whimsy. Executed in a muted palette of greys, creams, and whites, the work is enriched by subtle terracotta accents along the handles and outlines, lending warmth to the restrained tones. The background is painted in a flat, earthy grey that allows the cups to stand forward with quiet presence.

The brushwork is confidently loose and textural, with visible strokes that add depth and tactility to the surface while retaining an intentionally naïve, hand-drawn charm. The simplicity of form and repetition creates a sense of rhythm and order, while the variety of decoration introduces individuality and delight.

This painting is on cradled wooden panel and is presented in a white wooden floating frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Sunny Cup
£315
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking contemporary still life painting that transforms the simplicity of everyday objects into an elegant study of form and balance, by British artist Annemarie Derrick and painted in 2025.

A tall jug, a short cup, a chalice-like cup with a simple sun motif, and a spoon are rendered with clarity and restraint against a muted, structured backdrop.

Rendered in a naïve style, the painting captures stillness and poise. The restrained palette of soft greys, creams, and earthy neutrals brings a timeless quality, while the fine black outlines and deliberate brushwork lend both clarity and texture. The acrylic surface carries a tactile richness, with subtle variations in tone and brushstroke adding depth to the otherwise minimal arrangement.

This acrylic painting is mounted a white wooden floating frame. There is a very tiny area of white on the taller jug, but the painting is in very good condition overall. The frame is in excellent condition.

A playful and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

This artworks is a two layered monoprint which creates new lines and curves through the simple layering. This allows each shape to emphasise its own individuality.

Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

Size: 61 x 44 cm (including frame)

Geometric Collage with 4 Circles
£380
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang, Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

Abstract Plants
£320
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful semi-abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

The surface is thick with textured impasto, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The composition is divided into vivid colour blocks—warm corals, sunny yellows, soft aquas, and hints of mint—intersected by expressive black and blue marks that suggest organic forms.

Lloyd’s use of thick paint application invites a physical response—you can almost feel the surface just by looking at it. This rich texture adds depth and dynamism, engaging the senses beyond the visual.

The loosely defined forms gives us viewers just enough to begin imagining plants and stems without being literal. Its small size encourages close, personal viewing. It feels like a private experience—something to be studied and absorbed in a quiet moment. A perfect example of how small artworks can carry a big impact.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

£400
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very engaging and beautifully presented contemporary abstract composition, painted on to canvas by British artist Frances Daws.

The Forest Bathing series captures the feeling of walking through a forest on a warm day – how the light bounces off the leaves and shadows dance on the forest floor.

This small abstract painting, set within a deep white frame, presents a swirling interplay of earthy tones—olive green, beige, ochre, and hints of rusty red. The brushwork is expressive and gestural, forming a loosely circular or spiral pattern that seems to draw the viewer inward.

The layered, textured strokes give the surface a sense of depth and movement, while the overall palette evokes natural elements like moss, bark, and soil.

This piece conveys quiet energy and contemplative rhythm, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect within its modest scale.

Luscious greens and soft yellows create a deep feeling of calm and are reminiscent of long walks and time spent sitting amongst the trees and ferns.

Resting in Green
£620
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.

Coastal Path
£740
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
£890
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.

Southern Shore
£740
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
£890
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.

Old English Longhorn
£330
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and engaging animal composition , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

The painting features a black and white longhorn cow standing on a softly rolling green hill against a light, muted sky. The cow is shown in side profile, with a calm expression and simple, expressive eyes. Its large curved horns give it a distinctive presence, emphasizing its strength and elegance.

This painting is a charming, rustic folk-art piece that celebrates rural life with a focus on simple forms and earthy colours. The calm presence of the cow, combined with the soft landscape, creates a warm, nostalgic feel, making it a beautiful and timeless representation of pastoral life.

This oil is painted onto panel which although unframed, is meant to be hung as is. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Rising Grey Green
£650
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An engaging and powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated 2024 on reverse.

Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.

The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

This oil on linen board is housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Harbour Front
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming harbour town scene painted in 2023 , by British artist Elaine Allender.

This quayside scene has been built up in layers of paper and paint. We see the village houses tumbling down to the quay, the old harbour walls and a couple of boats moored up on the sea. The painting is full of texture, and has some of the charming roughness associated with real harbours.

The upper half is dominated by rows of houses with varied shapes and sizes, featuring pitched roofs and small windows. The colour palette of the buildings includes soft blues, earthy browns, and muted creams, adding a rustic and weathered charm. The architectural details, like chimneys and rooflines, are rendered with textured brushstrokes, enhancing depth and realism. The water reflects the dock and buildings above, rendered in soft, blended tones of blue, peach, and grey, creating a shimmering, rippled effect. The sky occupies the top portion of the painting, featuring dynamic swirls of soft blues and creamy yellows, suggesting a bright, breezy day.

Bright orange buoy-like accents and lifebuoys add pops of colour, drawing attention to specific elements in the scene. The painting’s layered textures and varied strokes add a tactile quality that conveys the atmosphere of a working harbour.

Overall, the painting beautifully captures the essence of a quaint seaside village, with its blend of rustic charm, lively textures, and serene maritime elements.

The painting is bordered by a clean, lime-waxed wooden tray frame that complements the coastal theme. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An original abstract painting, executed in oil onto cradled panel.

The painting depicts a landscape theme and explores the concepts of art and architecture. Flat planes in a variety of contrasting colours are arranged together, some intersecting and overlaying, creating an illusion of depth and perspective. These colours are rich and vivid, creating a bright and playful energy. Although smooth and matte in its finish, the artist has included areas where we are able to see the application and texturing of the paint. Juxtaposing the hard angled lines, is a row of scalloping that adds a wonderful detail and draws our eye in.

A brilliantly executed semi- abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

The artist works in broad, expressive strokes, filling in the urban scene with a cacophony of colour. We see areas of the canvas as well as the artist’s outlines, giving it a very raw quality, emphasising the uncompromising nature of the urban landscape.

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

Limited Cups

Sold

SOLD

A 2025 contemporary acrylic painting by British artist Annemarie Derrick that presents four stylised cups rendered with playful simplicity in the naïve style.

Positioned against a pale white background, the cups are each depicted with distinctive patterns and shapes, and are outlined with fine, deliberate lines, emphasising their graphic qualities. Subtle motifs – a scalloped edge, vertical striations, circular accents, and a bold sunburst – lend individuality and rhythm to the composition.

Executed in a restrained palette of muted greys, whites, and soft earthy outlines, the work embraces simplicity while highlighting form and design. The brushstrokes are confident yet textured, leaving slight variations on the surface that lend a tactile quality. The artist’s approach is both modern and whimsical, distilling everyday objects into symbols of quiet domesticity and charm.

This acrylic painting is mounted a white wooden floating frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
