A very confident and well-executed modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.
The composition presents an interior setting where a vase with pink flowers and a jug sit on a table, and are set against a blue-tiled backdrop.
Through the use of powerful, expressive, and intense brushstrokes as well as dark outlines, the painting expresses the rich emotions of the artist, and the style of the painting is reminiscent of the post-war French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet (1928-1999), who was also painting around this time.
The artist has also used the sgraffito technique, using the back of his paintbrush to create lines through the paint layer of the pink flowers, adding a sense of three-dimensionality and varied texture.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide profile gilt frame . The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

An outstanding mid-century still life composition in oil, that masterfully combines elements of semi-abstraction and the impasto technique to depict a bouquet of roses.
The roses, rendered in shades of red, green, orange, and blue, exude a sense of liveliness, and they have been centered against a light and muted cream background, that imbues the work with a sense of calm.
While the forms of the roses are recognisable, they have been simplified and reduced to their essence through the semi-abstract approach. The artist captures the inherent beauty of the flowers by focusing on their essential shapes and contours.
The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes, using the impasto technique to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, resulting in a three-dimensional quality.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame with an inner linen border. The frame has some scuffs to the edges, and some small losses to its corners. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

An absolutely lovely mid century floral composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
There is an element of intrigue when it comes to decoding this picture. Just entering the left side of the composition is the edge of the back of an artist’s stretched canvas, with the long stem of the iris flower in the middle, and then to the right we have what looks like a wooden beam at an angle. Is the canvas leaning against the wall? And the beam perhaps the edge of a window? Or is the artist actually facing a mirror, painting the reflection of what he sees, including the back of his canvas?
The blue that the artist has used is deep and rich. It draws you in and goes perfectly with the wood and gilt frame. The artist has painted the iris flower delicately and intricately, capturing its sumptuous colours and its tall, stout stem.
The painting is housed in a very well suited dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has a very small area of paint loss to the bottom left section (as seen in close up photo). The frame has some scuffs to its lower edge. Overall the painting and frame is in good vintage condition.
