Beyond the White Road
£610
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that depicts a quiet settlement gathered along a broad country road, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1964.

A scattering of simple whitewashed buildings stretches across the horizon, their angular silhouettes emerging beneath an expansive blue-grey sky. The sweeping road dominates the foreground, drawing the eye gently into the composition and towards the cluster of houses beyond. Sparse surrounding fields and the absence of figures give the scene a wonderfully still, almost timeless quality.

The work is painted in a distinctly modernist, semi-abstract style, with the landscape reduced to broad planes, simplified architectural forms and loosely defined contours. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist captures the essential shapes and atmosphere of the setting. The buildings are constructed from irregular blocks of paint, while passages of shadow and dark openings provide a striking graphic contrast against their pale facades.

The restrained palette is particularly appealing, combining chalky whites, warm creams and stone greys with muted olive and earthy brown. A soft blue-grey sky lends a coolness to the composition, balanced beautifully by the warmer tones of the surrounding land. Small accents of charcoal and near-black punctuate the otherwise subdued palette, lending depth and definition to the buildings and landscape.

Brushwork is loose, expressive and richly textural, with broad, dry strokes and areas of thicker impasto giving the surface a tactile quality. The road is rendered through long, sweeping strokes that reinforce its perspective, while shorter, more vigorous marks articulate the buildings and rough terrain. Areas of the underlying surface are allowed to interact with the paint, contributing to the work’s raw, understated character.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary lined-lined wood frame with a slender gilt inner border. The painting presents well overall. There are small minor dents to the outer edge of the frame. A line of craquelure runs down the centre of the painting, corresponding with the underlying stretcher framework; however, the paint remains stable.

Interior Looking Out
£885
Sold

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century painting that explores the relationship between an intimate interior and the exterior world beyond, painted in oil in 1958 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 viewer appears positioned within an enclosed room, looking outward through a doorway or architectural opening towards a fragmented exterior landscape.

The composition reveals clear influences of Cubism and geometric abstraction, with both the interior and exterior reduced to overlapping planes, angular forms and blocks of colour. Rather than relying on conventional perspective, the artist constructs space through intersecting shapes and shifting viewpoints, allowing the boundaries between foreground, interior architecture and the world outside to subtly dissolve.

Within the foreground, broad passages of red, burgundy, mustard, forest green and deep blue suggest the interior through abstracted fragments of flooring, furnishings and shadow. Tall vertical planes of powder blue, grey and creamy white frame either side of the composition, creating the impression of walls or a doorway and directing the eye towards the exterior.

Beyond this opening, the outside world becomes increasingly fragmented. Geometric arrangements of blue, brown, olive, grey and black loosely evoke buildings, rooftops and windows, while small golden-yellow forms towards the upper centre suggest structures illuminated by light. The exterior remains recognisable without ever becoming literal, hovering beautifully between architecture and pure abstraction.

The palette is rich and confidently balanced, with saturated reds and blues offset by earthy browns, muted greens, cool greys and whites. Dark passages of charcoal and near-black provide structure, while flashes of yellow and orange bring warmth and rhythm to the composition.

Paint is applied in broad, assured strokes, with visible brushwork and deliberately softened, irregular edges preventing the geometric construction from feeling overly rigid. Areas of dense, opaque pigment contrast with thinner and more loosely worked passages, giving the surface a wonderfully tactile quality

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Reflection
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking semi geometric landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

This brilliantly executed oil transforms a waterside scene into a playful arrangement of colour and shape. Trees become sharp triangles, buildings are reduced to blocks, and their reflections fragment into an almost abstract pattern across the water below.

The palette is particularly joyful: vivid lime and forest greens sit alongside brilliant yellow and cool blues, giving the painting a wonderful freshness and energy. Yet despite the bold colour, there’s a pleasing sense of order to the composition, with the strong horizontal shoreline balancing the cluster of angular forms above and below it.

Somewhere between landscape and abstraction, it’s the sort of painting that can be enjoyed simply for its shapes and colours and then, almost suddenly, resolves itself back into a place.

This oil on canvas is presented in a very well suited silver painted floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing.

Figures by the Sea
£915
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A wonderfully serene modernist coastal scene dated 1987, depicting three elongated figures gathered along a sweeping shorelines, executed in oil onto canvas.

One figure appears to carry or draw in a fishing net, while a central figure stands beside a loosely rendered bicycle and a third looks out towards the water. Two small sailing boats punctuate the distant sea, reinforcing the painting’s gentle maritime character.

The composition is distinctly modernist and semi-abstract, reducing both the figures and surrounding landscape to simplified, almost geometric forms. The exaggerated proportions of the figures – with their long limbs, narrow heads and softly defined silhouettes – lend the scene a dreamlike quality. Perspective is deliberately flattened, with the rolling foreground, sea and sky arranged in broad bands of colour rather than rendered naturalistically. The delicate linear construction of the bicycle and net provides an expressive counterpoint to the more solid blocks of colour elsewhere in the work.

A beautifully restrained coastal palette dominates, built around powder blue, turquoise, aquamarine, teal and deep marine blue. Small accents of darker green in the sails and deep blue along the horizon provide definition, while the luminous blue sky gives the painting an airy, summery atmosphere.

The artist works with loose, visible brushstrokes, particularly across the sea and foreground, where layered strokes and variations in tone give movement and texture to the otherwise simplified forms. Elsewhere, paint is applied in broad, relatively flat passages, with edges left softly irregular rather than precisely delineated. Fine, gestural dark lines are used sparingly to describe the bicycle, net and smaller details, adding an appealing sense of spontaneity.

Overall, the work has a wonderfully quiet, nostalgic Mediterranean feel, balancing figurative storytelling with the decorative simplicity and colour-led abstraction characteristic of late twentieth-century modernism.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim white painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor marks.

Size: 68.5 x 68.5 cm (including frame)

Harbour in Blue
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century harbour scene depicting a small collection of boats resting on still waters, watched over by a solitary white lighthouse in the distance, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition has an appealing sense of quiet and balance: the darker vessel in the foreground anchors the scene, while the luminous white boat and lighthouse draw the eye across the water towards the horizon. Reflections soften the divide between boats, sea and sky, lending the harbour an almost dreamlike stillness.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the artist pares the landscape back to its essential shapes. Boats, masts and harbour structures are simplified into clean, almost geometric forms, while perspective and finer details are deliberately understated. The tall lighthouse provides a strong vertical focal point, echoed by the slender masts scattered throughout the composition.

The palette is especially evocative, dominated by muted marine blues, turquoise, teal and blue-grey, punctuated by creamy whites, soft yellow and touches of rust and deep charcoal. The pale lighthouse appears almost luminous against the expansive blue sky, while the warmer tones of the harbour and boats prevent the cooler palette from feeling austere.

Brushwork is confident and visibly painterly. Broad horizontal strokes describe the sky and distant shoreline, while thicker, more directional marks articulate the boats and their reflections. Rather than rendering the water in precise detail, the artist uses layered passages of blue, green and grey to suggest its glassy surface. Looser strokes in the reflections introduce gentle movement and texture, beautifully contrasting with the simplified solidity of the boats above.

Overall, the work captures the quiet atmosphere of a coastal harbour at rest, combining modernist restraint with a wonderfully calming, nostalgic quality.

This oil on canvas is presented in a handsome gilt wood frame with a wide cream-toned inner border. The painting is in good vintage condition – there are small areas of craquelure present but remain stable. There are marks to the inner frame. These age-related imperfections are consistent with the work’s vintage nature and do not detract from its overall appearance.

The Golden Divide
£525
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition that brings together architectural geometry and suggestions of a coastal landscape through a carefully balanced arrangement of colour and form, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition sits between pure abstraction and landscape, with angular forms suggesting buildings or structures gathered beside water. An expansive field of pale blue creates a sense of openness, while a slender golden line stretches across the upper canvas, reading both as a distant horizon and a strong geometric device.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist language, the work shows influences of geometric abstraction, reducing architecture and landscape into intersecting planes and blocks of colour. Its asymmetrical composition and generous negative space lend the painting a particularly fresh, contemporary quality.

Luminous blues are layered with saturated cobalt, ultramarine and deep navy. These cool tones are enlivened by mustard yellow and warm golden brown, alongside passages of white and cream. A near-black circular form anchors the foreground, while the fine golden horizon provides a striking contrast against the blue.

Broad, controlled areas of colour are combined with more expressive, visibly worked passages. Vertical strokes and overlapping bands of blue create movement and depth, while subtle variations in opacity allow underlying colours and canvas texture to remain visible. The result feels both carefully constructed and intuitively painted.

This oil on canvas is presented in an complementary slim silver frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Blue Vase & Pears
£995
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and characterful still life composition executed in tempera on board and dated 1977, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

Small yet very effective in its composition, this still life presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition of everyday objects. A dark earthenware jug, a pale turquoise vase filled with delicate lily of the valley, and three ripe pears are set against a rich crimson tablecloth and a deep, shadowed background. The artist transforms these humble domestic objects into a balanced and quietly contemplative composition, celebrating the beauty found in simplicity.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work embraces flattened perspective and bold, simplified forms rather than strict realism. Each object is reduced to its essential silhouette, creating a harmonious interplay of shape, colour, and negative space.

The palette is warm and restrained, combining deep burgundy reds, earthy browns, olive and sage greens, and soft pear yellows with the striking contrast of the cool turquoise vase. The crisp white blossoms of the lily of the valley provide a fresh focal point, while the dark background enhances the luminous quality of the objects and intensifies the richness of the colours.

Brushstrokes are smooth and deliberate, with paint applied in opaque, even layers that create broad areas of flat colour. Subtle tonal variations gently model the forms without sacrificing the painting’s graphic simplicity, while clean outlines and confident edges reinforce its decorative, modernist character.

This tempera on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are is in excellent vintage condition. Please note that is some glare present in the photographs.

Boats at Rest
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures the quiet charm of a coastal scene, executed in oil onto board.

Two boldly coloured boats – one in deep navy blue, the other in brick red – rest upon warm ochre sands, their strong silhouettes set against whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs. Behind them, rolling green hills meet a vivid band of cobalt sky, while the turquoise edge of the sea curves into view at the foreground.

Executed with a modernist sensibility, the scene is reduced to simplified geometric forms and flat planes of rich colour, outlined in confident black strokes. The palette balances earthy warmth with refreshing coastal blues and greens, evoking both the heat of the sun and the coolness of the sea breeze. The smooth, uniform brushwork enhances the crisp, graphic quality of the composition, lending it a timeless feel.

This oil on board is presented in a wooden frame with a linen inner border that beautifully complements the painting’s bold lines and coastal palette. Both the artwork and frame display some water marks and age-related spots, consistent with their vintage character. The frame also bears some scuffs and some scratches, most notably along the top right edge.

Forms in Motion
£825
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract oil composition dated 1965, and painted 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.

This painting explores the interplay of organic form, colour and movement. Large, loosely defined shapes gather and overlap across the canvas, creating a lively visual rhythm that feels simultaneously spontaneous and carefully balanced. The forms remain deliberately ambiguous, inviting associations with leaves, petals or fragments of the natural world without resolving into a recognisable subject.

The palette is particularly distinctive, bringing together powdery blue, fresh lime green, warm brown, burnt orange and earthy brick red, punctuated by bold areas of charcoal black. Sections of creamy white provide moments of openness between the denser passages of colour, while the contrasting warm and cool tones give the composition its wonderful energy.

Stylistically, the painting has a distinctly mid-century modernist sensibility, with an emphasis on simplified organic forms and expressive colour rather than representation. There is an almost collage-like quality to the arrangement, as individual shapes appear layered, interlocked and suspended across the surface.

The brushwork is loose, visible and wonderfully tactile. Short, overlapping strokes remain evident within the larger blocks of colour, creating subtle variations in tone and texture. Rather than striving for perfectly polished edges, the artist allows the hand-painted quality of the work to remain visible, lending the composition an appealing immediacy and warmth.

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

Geometric Neighbourhood
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century composition of a neighbourhood, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the scene is defined by tall houses that have been skilfully reduced to geometric blocks in contrasting colours, with a splash of fun patterned dots.

Rich earthy tones dominate the palette – deep turquoise and emerald greens are punctuated by lighter greens, with hints of black, brown, and white and yellow demonstrating depth to the painting. The artist’s use of these colours creates a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

Despite the simplified forms, the neighbourhood’s lively energy is palpable, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the shapes, colours, and expressive brushwork.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very minor scuffs.

House Above the Fields
£655
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century abstract landscape that reduces a landscape environment to a harmonious arrangement of shape, colour and atmosphere, exeucted in oil onto canvas.

At the centre, the suggestion of a solitary house emerges from the landscape, its pitched roof and shadowed facade loosely defined against an expansive, pale sky. Surrounding fields and distant terrain are distilled into broad, overlapping planes, giving the composition the quality of a landscape recalled from memory rather than directly observed.

The work has a distinctly modernist sensibility, balancing abstraction with just enough recognisable detail to anchor the scene. Architectural and natural forms are simplified into irregular geometric blocks, while softened edges allow one area to dissolve gently into the next. The unusually generous area of open sky brings a wonderful sense of stillness and space to the composition.

The palette is beautifully restrained, built around powder blue, misty grey, olive and moss green, charcoal and earthy brown. Against these muted tones, passages of dusty blush pink, turquoise and vivid cornflower blue provide unexpected flashes of colour, while a small accent of orange-red at the far right adds a particularly lively counterpoint.

Brushwork shifts between thin, softly blended passages and more substantial, textured applications of paint. The house is especially expressive, constructed through scumbled layers of brown, cream, grey and browns that allow underlying colours to remain visible. Elsewhere, broad horizontal strokes establish the landscape, while areas of dry, dragged pigment and visible bristle marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. The result is a quietly atmospheric work in which landscape, architecture and abstraction sit beautifully in balance.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary white painted wood floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor marks.

Lilies in a Vase
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century still life depicting a loosely arranged bouquet of lilies and iris-like blooms gathered in a simple peach-toned vase, executed in oil onto board.

Set against a cool, softly worked blue-grey ground, the flowers rise elegantly from the vessel, their elongated green leaves creating a graceful sense of movement through the composition. A band of muted lilac beneath the vase provides a subtle grounding contrast and lends the work an unexpectedly modern touch.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the artist favours simplification and expression over botanical precision. The flowers are reduced to broad, angular shapes, while the vase and surrounding space are rendered with minimal modelling. The restrained composition and flattened perspective give the painting a quiet, almost contemplative quality.

The palette is particularly appealing, combining powdery blue-grey, soft white, cornflower and violet blue, sage and emerald green, dusty lilac, and warm peach and ochre. The cool background allows the white flowers to appear luminous, while the peach vase introduces warmth at the centre of the composition. Small touches of blue and lavender within the white petals beautifully tie the flowers into the surrounding palette.

Brushwork remains visible throughout, with loose, confident strokes giving the flowers and foliage their character. The petals are built from broad, layered applications of pale paint, creating gentle texture and highlights, while longer, more directional strokes describe the leaves and stems. The background is handled more softly, retaining subtle vertical and horizontal brush marks that give the otherwise quiet field a pleasing painterly depth.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt wooden frame, with stepped moulding and a narrow cream inner slip. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The painting is filled with an array of geometric shapes painted in rich bold tones of brown, black, yellow, blue, and turquoise. These shapes collide and overlap, creating a rhythmic interplay across the surface.

Amidst the abstract nature of the painting, a subtle mask-like form, a building block, as well as silhouettes of figures emerge, adding a touch of mystery to the composition.

Morning Light
£595
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century interior painting that captures a simple wooden table positioned before a softly illuminated window, where a modest bouquet of freshly gathered flowers introduces the composition’s only vivid burst of colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist distils the scene into an elegant study of light, atmosphere and quiet domesticity, allowing the interplay between interior and exterior to become the true subject.

Executed in a refined modernist style, the composition demonstrates a thoughtful balance between representation and abstraction. Clean architectural forms, flattened planes and subtle tonal relationships create a calm, contemplative rhythm, while the generous areas of negative space lend the work an understated sophistication. The window serves as both a compositional anchor and a source of gentle luminosity, drawing the eye through the room and towards the softened suggestion of greenery beyond.

The palette is wonderfully muted, comprising warm greys, soft taupes, sage greens and gentle blue-greys, complemented by rich walnut browns within the table and window frame. Against these subdued tones, the bouquet introduces touches of crimson, ochre, deep violet and fresh green, providing a restrained yet captivating focal point.

Confident, deliberate brushstrokes define the painting throughout. Broad, vertical strokes animate the walls with subtle movement, while thicker, more sculptural applications of paint give weight to the table and flowers. The window and surrounding architecture are rendered with economical precision, allowing the texture of the oil paint to remain visible and enhancing the painting’s quiet, tactile presence. The result is an intimate and timeless interior that celebrates the beauty found in everyday moments.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Sun Over the Hills
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century modern landscape depicting a village nestled between two towering mountains beneath a luminous midday sun, executed in oil onto board and dated 1949.

The composition simplifies the natural world into bold, interlocking forms, balancing geometric architecture with broad, sculptural hills to create a scene that feels both recognisable and dreamlike.

Painted in an expressive modernist style, the work embraces flat planes of colour and stylised shapes rather than naturalistic detail. The village is rendered as a lively mosaic of simplified buildings, while the surrounding mountains are distilled into sweeping, abstracted masses that frame the composition with dramatic presence.

The palette is rich and energetic, combining turquoise skies, glowing chartreuse, earthy olive greens, burnt oranges and deep crimson accents. Strong contrasts between cool and warm tones create a striking sense of sunlight and atmosphere, while dark passages anchor the composition and add visual depth.

Confident, painterly brushstrokes alternate with textured marks that enliven the mountain slopes and architectural forms. Areas of smooth blended colour sit alongside more gestural passages, allowing the surface to retain a sense of movement and spontaneity. The result is a bold, joyful composition that captures the warmth and vitality of the landscape through colour, rhythm and expressive design.

This oil on board is presented in a wood frame with a warm gilt outer edge, silver-toned inner moulding and deep green liner, complementing the painting’s vibrant palette. The painting is in excellent vintage condition overall, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Sunlit Cart
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively mid-century modernist style landscape oil painting, by 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.

At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained; the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

Sunlit Forms
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.

Sunlit Tree
£490
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking and surreal mid century modernist landscape that blends abstraction and symbolism, painted in oil onto canvas.

The focal point is a tree with a twisted, expressive form that resembles a almost resembles a human hand reaching upwards. Delicate, swirling lines extend from the trunk, evoking movement and energy. The tree stands alone on rolling hills, adding to the sense of isolation and resilience.

The dark blue-green tree contrasts sharply against the bright backdrop, making it a dramatic focal point. The sunlight is depicted as geometric rays, creating a stylized effect reminiscent of cubism or modernist abstraction. The gradation of warm colors suggests a sunset or sunrise, symbolizing hope, transformation, or renewal. The contrast between warm and cool tones enhances the dreamlike atmosphere.

This painting conveys a sense of resilience, transformation, and interconnectedness between humanity and nature. The hand-like tree reaching toward the radiant sun could symbolize growth, struggle, or enlightenment, while the contrasting colors create a dramatic and emotional effect. The blend of surrealism and abstraction makes this piece visually striking and deeply symbolic.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well made wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing.

The artist has used an uplifting and vibrant colour palette. The brushstrokes are deliberately smooth and the lines are clean, creating flat planes of colour that emphasise shape and balance over intricate detail.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and losses to its right edge but this is only visible when viewed from an angle. It is in good condition otherwise.

The Distant Green
£570
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape, depicting a broad, open countryside reduced to its most essential forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

A distant and low ribbon of fields stretches horizontally across the composition, punctuated by slender trees and softly defined clusters of foliage. Above and below, expansive areas of pale colour create a wonderful sense of space and stillness, giving the distant landscape an almost meditative presence.

The artist takes a distinctly modernist approach to the landscape, favouring simplification and abstraction over descriptive detail. The countryside is constructed through elongated bands and flattened shapes, with trees and hedgerows appearing as loose vertical and horizontal marks. The unusually low, narrow horizon emphasises the breadth of the surrounding space and lends the painting a strikingly minimalist quality.

The palette is wonderfully understated, dominated by warm ivory, soft cream and muted yellow, contrasted against a concentrated band of sage, olive, forest green and blue-green. Subtle shifts between these greens suggest fields, distant trees and changing vegetation without defining them too precisely. The warmth of the surrounding pale ground gives the cooler greens a particularly fresh luminosity.

Brushwork is loose and expressive. Broad horizontal sweeps establish the fields and horizon, while short, upright strokes indicate trees and distant structures. Areas of dry, broken pigment allow the lighter ground to show through, introducing texture and movement to the otherwise serene composition. The sparseness of the marks feels deliberate: with remarkably little detail, the artist captures the atmosphere and rhythm of a vast rural landscape.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

The Hills Beyond
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and wonderfully textured modernist landscape depicting a dense woodland and rolling hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

A small red-roofed structure sits quietly at the centre of the composition, almost enveloped by the surrounding trees. Beyond, the landscape rises into broad undulating hills, with a distant blue peak emerging beneath an expansive, pale sky.

The work has a distinctly modernist, expressionistic character, favouring simplified forms, heightened colour and energetic mark-making over naturalistic detail. The landscape is constructed in loose horizontal bands – foreground, woodland, hills and sky – while the upright forms of the trees create a lively vertical rhythm through the centre of the painting.

The palette is particularly vibrant, dominated by olive, forest and lime greens, punctuated by flashes of golden yellow, ochre, apricot and burnt orange across the trees. Deep blue-green and near-black passages give weight to the woodland, while the distant mountain is picked out in striking cobalt and ultramarine blue. Soft blue, cream and pale yellow sweep across the sky, balancing the richer earth tones below. The small building, rendered in warm red and brown, provides a subtle focal point amid the vegetation.

Paint has been applied with bold, vigorous and highly visible brushstrokes, with areas of thick impasto giving the surface a wonderfully tactile quality. Short, upright strokes articulate the trees, while broader, sweeping marks describe the contours of the hills and sky. In the foreground, long horizontal strokes of ochre and cream draw the eye into the scene. Throughout, glimpses of the underlying canvas remain visible between strokes, adding to the painting’s spontaneous, expressive character.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary natural wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Three Ladies
£1,315
Sold

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

The composition depicts three elongated female figures standing closely together beneath a glowing amber sun. Their simplified silhouettes and dramatically oversized, geometric headwear lend the composition an almost ceremonial quality, while their close arrangement suggests companionship, solidarity and quiet intimacy.

The artist approaches the figures with a distinctly modernist sensibility, reducing the human form to elegant shapes and flattened planes. Facial features are deliberately minimal – small eyes and flashes of red at the lips emerge from dark faces – allowing posture, pattern and proportion to carry the expression. The exaggerated rectangular forms above the figures create a wonderful architectural rhythm across the upper half of the composition, contrasting with the softer curves of their shoulders and the setting sun behind them.

The palette is beautifully restrained and earthy, dominated by tobacco brown, umber, charcoal, muted taupe and warm terracotta. Against these subdued tones, touches of burnished ochre and golden yellow illuminate the patterned garments and echo the glowing sun, while tiny accents of blue and deep red provide unexpected points of colour.

Brushwork is largely soft and controlled, with broad areas of thinly worked, matte colour creating the painting’s characteristic flattened appearance. The edges retain a slight softness and irregularity that reveals the hand of the artist rather than feeling rigidly graphic. More animated marks appear within the clothing: loosely brushed golden squares, narrow vertical strokes and scattered jewel-like dabs create texture and individuality across each figure. These small painterly details enliven the otherwise restrained composition and provide a pleasing counterpoint to its bold geometric forms.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful and very well suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a mark to the bottom section of the linen border, which does not detract from the overall appearance of the piece.

Size: 79 x 79 cm (including frame)

Trio Gathering
£890
Sold

Free UK Shipping Only.

A bold and compelling mid-century geometric composition depicting a closely gathered group of abstracted figures, executed in oil onto board.

The subjects emerge through an arrangement of interlocking angular planes, their bodies reduced to elongated blocks, faceted forms and sharply defined silhouettes. While distinctly figurative, the painting moves confidently towards abstraction, allowing the figures to read almost as a single architectural structure.

The work has a distinctly cubist and geometric abstract character, with perspective flattened and the human form fragmented into overlapping geometric shapes. The tightly compressed grouping creates a wonderful sense of intimacy and collective presence, while subtle variations in height, posture and direction give each figure an individual identity. There is an intriguing ambiguity to the scene – the figures might be engaged in conversation, gathered in contemplation, or simply occupying the same space.

The palette is wonderfully restrained, dominated by charcoal black, slate grey and muted olive, punctuated by passages of chalky white, pale stone, smoky blue-grey and occasional warm cream. These lighter facets illuminate portions of the figures almost like shafts of light, creating depth and rhythm against the darker forms.

Brushwork is controlled yet visibly painterly. Broad areas of colour have been applied in relatively flat, opaque passages, with softly irregular edges and subtle variations in surface texture preventing the geometry from feeling overly rigid. The occasional trace of the brush and unevenness of pigment lend warmth and tactility to the otherwise disciplined composition.

A striking example of mid-century geometric figuration, balancing the recognisable human form with bold abstraction, architectural structure and a sophisticated, subdued palette.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Waiting by the Window
£850
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intriguing and enigmatic semi-abstract oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1948.

A solitary woman sits in profile beside what appears to be a window, her form pared back into simple blocks of colour and loosely drawn lines. The artist gives us very little detail, yet somehow there is enough to suggest a whole moment. Someone sitting, waiting, thinking or simply watching the world beyond the glass. Powder blue and pale green create a soft, almost dreamlike setting, while touches of mustard, pink and deep teal bring warmth and structure to the composition.

The painting is wonderfully presented in a simple but effective wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A rhythmic and richly textured mid-century abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Embracing the principles of movement and rhythm, this abstract composition showcases a dynamic mix of yellow, green, and blue horizontal wavy planes of colour. They flow across the canvas, resembling undulating waves, suggesting movement and fluidity, and creating a soothing visual experience.

The textured surface, achieved through the masterful implementation of the impasto technique, adds depth and tactility to the piece, inviting viewers to explore its intricacies.

Where the Land Fades

Sold

SOLD

A large and very atmospheric painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

A vast expanse of soft blue-grey sky dominates the composition, while the landscape below is suggested rather than defined through loose passages of sage green, chalky white, dusty pink and muted mauve. Fleeting marks hint at fields, water, distant trees and perhaps a road or pathway disappearing into the scene, but nothing is quite fixed — allowing the landscape to hover beautifully between abstraction and reality.

With its large size, it has real presence without feeling overpowering; its generous scale and wonderfully subdued palette give it a quiet, contemplative quality that would bring both softness and interest to a room.

This painting is housed in a very complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing.

Blue Echoes
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition that explores the tension between mass, movement and negative space, painted in oil onto board by the established 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.

Rather than depicting a recognisable subject, the painting invites interpretation through its bold architectural forms and layered textures. A sweeping black arc anchors the composition, while sculptural passages of white, vivid cobalt blue and warm browns appear to float across a tranquil slate-grey ground, suggesting the remnants of a constructed landscape or an imagined industrial horizon.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work balances geometric abstraction with expressive, tactile mark-making. The composition feels carefully considered yet spontaneous, combining the structural confidence of post-war abstraction with the physicality of gestural painting. Areas of exposed underpainting and irregular edges lend the work an authentic sense of process, revealing the artist’s intuitive approach to building the surface.

The restrained palette of soft greys, charcoal black and creamy white is punctuated by electric cobalt blue and earthy browns, creating a compelling dialogue between cool and warm tones. These carefully placed accents energise the composition without overwhelming its quiet sophistication.

The paint surface is richly textured, with thick impasto passages applied confidently using a palette knife or broad brush. Heavy ridges of paint, scraped-back layers and expressive drips create remarkable depth, while looping linear gestures on the right-hand side introduce a lively counterpoint to the otherwise solid forms. The resulting surface is highly tactile, celebrating the materiality of paint as much as colour and composition.

This oil on board is presented in a silver frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are scuffs to the frame and marks visible to the pale sections of the frame. There is a small area of wear to the top section of the frame.

Where the Palms Sway
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modern townscape that captures the warmth and simplicity of a Mediterranean village through a wonderfully stylised composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs cluster together while a lone palm tree and broad-leafed plants frame the quiet street, evoking the relaxed atmosphere of a coastal settlement bathed in southern light.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist reduces architecture and landscape into bold geometric forms and flattened planes of colour. Perspective is intentionally simplified, allowing the rhythmic arrangement of rooftops, walls and pathways to create a harmonious sense of balance rather than strict realism. The composition possesses a naïve elegance, where everyday architecture is transformed into an expressive study of shape, light and colour.

The palette is both vibrant and restrained, pairing rich burnt orange roofs with soft creams, pale sage greens, muted blues and warm greys. A dramatic slate-blue sky provides striking contrast, enhancing the luminosity of the village while deep charcoal shadows add depth and definition. Bright green foliage introduces lively accents that guide the eye through the composition.

Confident, deliberate brushstrokes reinforce the painting’s modern character. Areas of flat, opaque colour are punctuated by visible directional strokes that lend texture and movement without overwhelming the clean geometry of the scene.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm honey finish and that features a stepped, multi-profile design. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Landscape Remembered
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board by the established 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 composition distils the essence of a landscape into a harmonious arrangement of geometric forms and expressive gestures. Suggestive silhouettes of harbourside buildings and rolling headlands stretch across a broad horizon, while sweeping black marks evoke the movement of seabirds or drifting clouds overhead. Rather than depicting a specific place, the artist captures the memory and atmosphere of a landscape through abstraction.

Rendered in a beautifully restrained palette of warm greys, taupe and charcoal, the composition is enlivened by carefully placed accents of cobalt blue, burnt sienna, ochre, soft sage and pale lemon. These vibrant passages punctuate the muted tones, lending the work a quiet sense of rhythm and vitality without disturbing its overall serenity.

Confident, deliberate brushwork characterises the painting throughout. Crisp, flat planes of colour are balanced by spontaneous gestural strokes, textured impasto passages and exposed painterly marks that reveal the artist’s process. The interplay between controlled geometry and expressive abstraction creates a composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

This oil on board is presented in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs mainly at the inner section.

A Moment of Quiet
£575
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century interior still life depicting a simple table illuminated by soft natural light, with a solitary white vessel and dish arranged against a backdrop of windows and architectural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

Rather than focusing on narrative, the artist celebrates the quiet poetry of everyday objects, transforming an ordinary domestic scene into a contemplative study of light, balance and atmosphere.

Painted in a modernist style, the composition is carefully constructed through bold geometric shapes and strong verticals, creating an elegant sense of structure while maintaining an understated intimacy. The pared-back arrangement and generous negative space evoke a calm, almost meditative mood, allowing the subtle relationships between form, light and shadow to take centre stage.

The palette is sophisticated and subdued, combining cool shades of slate grey, charcoal, ivory, muted turquoise and deep blue with delicate touches of warm cream. These restrained colours harmonise beautifully, while enhancing its tranquil, light-filled atmosphere.

Confident, expressive brushwork brings the surface to life. Broad, textured strokes define the architectural planes, while layers of thickly applied paint create subtle variations across the walls, table and window shutters. The loose handling softens the geometry just enough to preserve a sense of warmth and spontaneity, resulting in a work that feels both thoughtfully composed and effortlessly painterly.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant silver-toned wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays minor age-related wear, including a tiny area of wood loss to the top left corner, consistent with its age.
