£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century figurative painting that captures a lively outdoor gathering beneath two abstracted pine trees, rendered in bold, expressive forms, and painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

At the center of the composition, a group of stylised figures sits together on what appears to be a picnic blanket, sharing a meal or conversation. Their forms are simplified yet evocative, outlined with fluid, gestural lines that emphasise connection and warmth.

Executed in a semi-abstract style, the painting merges figuration with vivid blocks of colour and dynamic compositional geometry. The palette features warm orange, deep forest greens, and rich reds, offset by cool blues and white negative space that lends the work a breezy openness. The brushwork is broad and textured, revealing the artist’s confident hand and intuitive layering of paint.

The overall effect is one of spontaneous joy and sunlit nostalgia—an ode to communal leisure in nature, filtered through the lens of modernist abstraction.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in execllent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Study in Repose

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed composition that presents a solitary, stylised nude figure leaning against a plinth in what appears to be an abstracted artist’s studio or model room, painted in oil onto canvas.

Composed in 1972, the painting captures a quiet moment of introspection and stillness, with the figure’s curved posture offering a gentle contrast to the geometric rigidity of the surrounding environment.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is constructed from flat, overlapping planes in muted tones of olive green, slate blue, warm orange, and deep maroon. The palette is cool and contemplative, creating a sense of psychological distance. A bold vertical panel in ultramarine anchors the left side of the work, drawing the eye toward the model. The right side recedes into architectural partitions and screens, painted in icy blue hues that hint at spatial depth without offering realism.

The artist’s brushwork is smooth and restrained, with minimal surface texture. Shadows and contours are suggested through tonal blocks rather than modelled detail, emphasising form over naturalism. This painting exemplifies a mid-century approach to figuration – introspective, architectural, and emotionally withheld – where the human form becomes part of a studied, constructed environment.

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

Verdant Echoes

Sold

SOLD

A striking and emotive mid-century abstract composition painted in oil onto canvas, 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 painting invites the viewer into a dynamic interplay of layered greens, icy blues, and deep emerald hues. Sweeping diagonals and overlapping forms create a sense of movement and quiet tension, evoking natural forms without direct representation. At its core, the painting pulses with organic vitality – its soft jade and moss tones offset by the smoky depth of midnight green and slate.

The brushstrokes vary in texture and direction, with areas of thick impasto contrasting with smoother, almost scraped-back planes. Textural accents and faint gestural arcs emerge through the surface, suggesting a hidden geometry or memory. With a palette both cool and contemplative, Verdant Echoes reflects the era’s fascination with abstraction as emotional landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of paint but the paint layer is very stable overall.

Fruit & Brushes
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A painterly and expressive mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

This expressive composition offers a window into the artist’s studio through a rhythmic arrangement of objects – a terracotta vase, a lilac-toned pitcher, a cobalt dish of orange fruit, and a pair of blue tumblers holding delicate paintbrushes.

What sets this piece apart is the dynamic interplay of brushstroke and line. Thick, impasto layers are energetically applied, while the artist employs sgraffito – scratching into the wet paint with the back of a brush to reveal underlying tones and carve gestural lines into the surface. This technique adds both texture and movement, amplifying the painting’s sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

The palette is a sophisticated interplay of soft mauves, deep greens, and muted blues, set against a textured backdrop that shifts from diagonal to vertical strokes – echoing the tension between structure and freedom.

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

£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A expressive and lively mid-century still life from 1958 that captures a vibrant arrangement of fruit and a pitcher set against a boldly abstracted interior, executed in oil onto board.

A pear, an apple, and sliced citrus rest on a geometric table surface, while a pale blue pitcher anchors the composition with sculptural solidity.

Rendered in confident, textured brushstrokes, the painting channels post-Impressionist and early Modernist sensibilities. The palette is rich and varied, blending warm yellows, earthy browns, and intense reds with cooler tones of turquoise and blues. Each hue is applied with visible, gestural strokes that lend the work a sense of immediacy and rhythm.

The background is an interplay of vertical and diagonal planes, suggestive of drapery or wall panels, contributing to the dynamic spatial ambiguity.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame. The painting has some craquelure present, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some paint losses, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Dual Horizons (Set of 2)
£850
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century pair that captures a bold interplay of form and colour across two abstract compositions, painted in oil 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.

One panel features a cool-toned palette of slate grey, deep navy, teal, and pale blue, punctuated by a vertical yellow accent and small geometric whites and blacks. A strong horizontal composition grounds the piece, evoking a minimalist seascape or terrain without literal reference. The brushwork is confident yet restrained, layering flat blocks of colour with subtle texture.

In contrast, the other panel warms the viewer with earthy browns, burnt orange, ochre, charcoal, and a flash of cobalt blue. Its broader, blockier forms appear as abstracted architecture or landscape, with rugged edges and expressive brushstrokes suggesting motion and depth. The juxtaposition of these two works reveals Oswald’s mastery in balancing contrast – between cool and warm, geometry and gesture, stillness and energy.

Each oil on board is housed in a very well suited frame with an inner linen lining and a gilt border. Both paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have very minor scuffs.

Size of each painting: 45 x 40 cm (including frame)

Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century interior scene that captures a quiet moment in a Scandinavian home, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1944.

The composition is anchored by a pale green tiled masonry stove – a traditional element of Nordic domestic architecture. A blue pitcher perched atop the stove adds a pop of contrast, while a single wooden chair with a blue upholstered seat invites the viewer into the space.

The composition leads the eye across a striped woven rug into an adjacent sunlit room, creating a gentle sense of depth and domestic continuity. Executed in a naturalistic yet subtly stylised manner, the painting reflects the mid-20th-century Scandinavian aesthetic of simplicity, functionality, and calm.

The palette is soft and harmonious, dominated by muted greens, warm browns, powdery blues, and hints of red in the rug.

Executed with textural qualities, the artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes that give the figure and background a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The style bridges post-impressionism and early modernist figuration, reminiscent of the School of Paris.

Overall, this piece speaks to the quiet power of stillness, rendered through a confident yet tender painterly hand.

Industrial Abstraction
£520
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly composed mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1957.

This painting is an abstract composition with a cubist influence, constructed from overlapping geometric shapes in a horizontal layout.

The artist has used a palette of muted earth tones—including shades of blue, olive green, mustard yellow, grey, brown, and black—with occasional pops of more vibrant hues like cobalt blue and ochre.

The forms resemble architectural or industrial elements—possibly buildings, machinery, or a cityscape—but remain non-representational. Thick, impasto brushstrokes give the surface a textured, tactile quality. The shapes interlock and layer, creating depth and rhythm across the canvas. Angled lines and blocks suggest both movement and structure, while negative space in pale grey balances the denser elements.

The rigid composition and strong use of form create a sense of architectural solidity, while still maintaining an expressive feel through painterly texture. The balance of order and spontaneity suggests an interest in form, design, and underlying harmony.

The painting is housed in a frame with a linen lined border. There is a small area of paint loss as shown in close up but the paint layer is stable overall. The painting and frame in good condition overall.

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.

Quayside Conversation
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and serene mid-century modernist harbour scene by a coastal town, executed in oil onto board and dated 1956.

A green-and-white boat is moored at the dock, its hull mirrored faintly in the still blue water. On the quay, simplified figures in deep navy and green tones gesture in conversation, adding life and scale to the softly geometric buildings behind them.

The composition favours broad planes of colour over detail, with architectural blocks rendered in blues, muted greens, and subdued browns. The artist has used confident, deliberate brushstrokes and a restrained palette to evoke a hazy coastal morning. There is a dreamlike quality in the diffused light and softened outlines.

This oil on board is housed in a very well suited cream frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint loss.

Size: 54 x 65 cm (including frame)

The Letter Writer
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative and rhythmic mid-century abstract figurative painting captures a quiet, intimate moment of reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The central figure – suggested through simplified, sculptural forms – rests their head on one hand while writing or drawing on a blank page, immersed in thought. The face and body are deliberately obscured, inviting the viewer to project their own narrative onto the scene.

Executed in a muted yet warm palette of mustard, brick red, and soft peach, the work is layered with earthy tones and bold linear accents. The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and lightly textured brushstrokes, contrasting with smoother, pale passages of light to create rhythm and emotional weight.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white painted wood frame. The painting has a small bit of paint loss at its top edge, as well as some craquelure present (as shown) but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has minor scuff marks.

Size: 40.5 x 48.5 cm (including frame)

The Net Menders
£440
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative mid-century modernist landscape composition with figures, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting captures a quiet scene where two figures are engaged in the timeless ritual of mending nets. Rendered in broad, confident brushstrokes, the composition emphasises form and rhythm over detail, evoking a sense of labor and community grounded in place.

The artist employs a muted yet expressive palette: yellows and orange dominate the foreground, while greys, greens and blues define the sky and background. A bold block of red – a hut—anchors the composition to the right, adding architectural structure to the looser figurative forms. The figures themselves are stylised, almost abstract, with simplified forms, allowing posture and gesture to tell the story.

Expressive and directional brushwork lend energy to the piece, particularly in the sweeping green lines of the fishing net, which leads the viewer’s eye diagonally across the scene. The cool and vast expanse of sky, provides balance and contrast to the dense activity in the lower half of the painting.

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

Twilight Over Bay
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century modernist painting that captures a tranquil coastal landscape bathed in the cool hush of evening light, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

A rugged shoreline dominates the foreground, its cliffs rendered in deep charcoal, mauve, and sienna tones, leading the eye toward a serene inlet that reflects the muted sky above.

The brushwork is confident – swift, expressive strokes shape the rocky terrain, while smoother, more fluid strokes define the still water and clouded sky. The pale turquoise sea contrasts gently against the darker crags, suggesting the last light of day catching on the water’s surface.

The sky is softened by horizontal swathes of greys, pinks, and purples, evoking a moment just before dusk settles.

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

Woman in Repose
£540
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

The Shaded Cottage
£730
Available

Free UK delivery only.

A charming mid-century modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

The painting captures a tranquil rural scene rendered with bold simplification and abstracted form. The skilful interplay of light and shadow suggests a late afternoon sun. Thatched-roof cottages are nestled along a gently curving path, partially obscured by the angular branches of leafless trees. The geometric structure of the roofs contrasts beautifully with the organic rhythm of the trunks and overhanging limbs.

Executed in a restrained but earthy palette, the artist creates depth and harmony without unnecessary detail. The brushstrokes are broad and gestural, giving the composition a sense of immediacy and movement, while maintaining a strong architectural rhythm.

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