    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An atmospheric modernist style mid-century cityscape painting that captures a quiet urban street running alongside a canal, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used broad, simplified forms and minimal detail to emphasise mood over realism. The palette is composed of muted greys, earthy browns, and beige, softened by pale green reflections in the canal water. The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, with visible textures and layered tonal variations that add depth to the otherwise stark geometry.

    There is a quiet melancholy to the work, evoking a sense of solitude and introspection within the starkness of the urban landscape.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary ridged white-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs along its edges as shown.

  • Farmhouse Cottage

    Farmhouse Cottage

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition captures a serene landscape scene of a farmhouse beneath a broad thatched roof, accompanied by a full-bodied tree to the right. The composition is balanced and restrained, focusing on the geometric rhythm of the roofline contrasted with the organic softness of the foliage.

    The artist has worked in a modernist style, reducing forms to their essentials while retaining a sense of place and atmosphere. The palette is cool and calming, with sky blues, muted teals, earthy browns, and soft golden browns, which together create a tranquil countryside mood.

    The brushstrokes are broad and textured, applied with confident, almost block-like swathes of paint that suggest depth and light without unnecessary detail. This technique allows the viewer’s eye to rest on the impression of shapes and tones, rather than fine rendering.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wooden frame and with inner silver and cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fields in Springtime

    Fields in Springtime

    £405

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century oil painting depicts a sweeping landscape view, freshly awakened with the vitality of spring, executed in oil onto board.

    The land stretches broadly under an expansive sky, the furrowed fields rendered in warm browns, yellow, and soft greens, suggesting freshly turned soil and new growth. Patches of verdant green brushstrokes punctuate the earth, hinting at the season’s renewal, while clusters of trees appear on the horizon, their foliage painted in luminous tones of green.

    The style is painterly and expressive, with bold, gestural strokes that convey the texture of the earth and the gentle energy of the season. The artist’s use of textured brushstrokes and layered colour adds depth and rhythm, allowing the viewer to sense both movement and stillness within the landscape. The pale sky, rendered in soft whites and cool blues, emphasises the openness of the scene and provides a delicate contrast to the richness of the fields below.

    Stylistically, the work balances naturalistic observation with painterly abstraction – the forms are suggested rather than detailed, allowing colour and gesture to evoke the mood of the land.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very small loss to its corner top left corner.

  • Sylvie

    Sylvie

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century figurative oil painting that presents an intimate portrait of a young sitter, captured with a quiet yet compelling presence, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    The subject, shown against a softly modulated grey-blue background, gazes directly at the viewer with dark, thoughtful eyes and a composed expression. Her short, dark hair frames a delicately modelled face, rendered with confident, angular brushstrokes that balance sensitivity with structure.

    The artist has used a restrained but effective palette, dominated by muted blues, greys, and greens, contrasted with the fresh luminosity of the sitter’s yellow blouse. The strokes are loose yet deliberate, giving the painting a textured vibrancy while maintaining the sitter’s natural poise. There is an impressionistic quality to the handling of paint, with visible layering and tonal variation creating depth and atmosphere.

    Overall, the work conveys a sense of stillness and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is presented in very well-suited gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks.

  • Tabletop Still Life with Fish

    Tabletop Still Life with Fish

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and expressive mid-century still life painting that depicts a rustic tabletop arrangement, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents two elongated fish that rest prominently upon a wooden cutting board. Alongside them are three deep red onions, a stout bottle with a cork, and a tin. Additional small objects are scattered across the scene, creating a sense of domestic simplicity.

    Executed in bold, expressive brushstrokes, the artist has used a palette of earthy reds, cool blues, muted greens, and creamy whites, offset by the dramatic dark tones of the draped cloth beneath the objects. The composition balances sharp diagonals with rounded forms, adding rhythm and dynamism to the still life. The painter’s loose, textured strokes and layered colours capture the raw materiality of each item without striving for perfect realism, instead evoking mood and movement.

    The overall effect is both vigorous and intimate – a celebration of everyday objects through the lens of modernist mid-century sensibilities.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame with a pale natural grain and an inner silver border, which complements the rustic subject matter and enhances the vibrancy of the painted surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Town by the Sea

    Town by the Sea

    £500

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A modernist style cityscape painting that captures a serene coastal town scene, executed in oil onto board and dated 1974.

    The composition is dominated by the silhouette of an old stone ruin at its centre, set against the backdrop of a calm sea and expansive sky. Clustered houses with terracotta-red and ochre rooftops surround the structure, their geometric forms contrasting with the organic shapes of dark green trees and cypress spires. A distant ship with a faint plume of smoke drifts across the horizon, adding a subtle sense of movement to the otherwise still composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet evocative style, the painting demonstrates the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: simplified architectural forms, bold blocks of colour, and an emphasis on light and shadow over fine detail. The palette is dominated by earthy reds, warm ochres, deep greens, soft greys, and cool blues, evoking both warmth and calm. Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with flat planes of colour that interlock like pieces of a puzzle, while hints of texture enliven the sky and foliage.

    Overall, the work conveys a quiet nostalgia – an atmospheric balance between human habitation, architectural history, and the vast, timeless presence of the sea.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary linen-lined wood frame. There is some light surface craquelure present in the central area of the canvas, but the overall condition is stable.

  • Desert Geometry

    Desert Geometry

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking 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. 

    The painting presents a stylised desert architectural scene, rendered with crisp, geometric clarity. A row of low-slung buildings is depicted against a pale, arid sky, their forms distilled into minimalist blocks of colour and shape. Dominating the composition is a tall, rust-toned cylindrical structure – likely a water tower – flanked by low beige and ochre buildings with charcoal roofs. Two cactus-like forms punctuate the left of the frame, introducing a playful yet sparse nod to the desert landscape.

    The palette is subdued and sandy: soft ochres, warm beige, muted browns, slate grey, and a whisper of terracotta. The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and thickly applied paint, lending texture and tonal variation to the otherwise flat expanses.

    The work has a meditative stillness, with the flattened perspective and architectural rhythm evoking a quiet, sun-drenched afternoon in an empty town.

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

  • Figure in a Carriage

    Figure in a Carriage

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative semi-abstract mid-century modernist figurative painting executed in oil onto canvas 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. 

    The composition captures the fleeting impression of a lone passenger illuminated by an unseen light source- perhaps the outside world glimpsed through a carriage window.

    The painting is semi-abstract, with blocks of textured pigment forming the suggestion of a figure framed by architectural shapes that recall the interior of a carriage.

    The palette is a masterful interplay of deep browns, blackened greens, and oxblood reds, punctuated by soft corals, pale peach, and a sliver of white that slices the darkness like a beam of light. Heavy impasto brushwork adds physical depth, while the confident horizontal and vertical strokes convey the structure of motion and confinement.

    There’s a poetic stillness to the work – an intimate moment caught in transit, abstracted through modernist sensibility yet rich in narrative potential.

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

  • Geometric Collage with 2 Circles

    Geometric Collage with 2 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.

    The composition consists of two muted circular forms, each placed centrally within the upper and lower halves of the piece. The circles—soft pinkish and earthy reddish tones—are made from swatches of book covers, creating a tactile contrast against the rich, golden-brown marbled background.

    The background evokes a sense of aged parchment or worn leather, enhancing the artwork’s connection to its literary origins. The precise placement of the circles introduces a sense of symmetry and contemplation, while the visible grain and patina of the materials speak to time, reuse, and the quiet endurance of objects past.

    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.

  • Harbour in Hues

    Harbour in Hues

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist harbour scene that captures the liveliness of a bustling port through an abstracted lens, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition features stylised boats with tall masts, cranes, and sails, all arranged in a rhythmic balance that evokes both movement and stillness. A triangular sail anchors the right side of the canvas, while geometric ship structures rise on the left, framed against a luminous sky.

    The artist has used a modernist, semi-abstract style, reducing forms to simplified shapes and colour blocks while maintaining recognisable nautical motifs. The colour palette is fresh and expressive: soft yellows and muted greys provide a serene backdrop, while accents of bright red, orange, and yellow inject energy and contrast.

    The brushstrokes are confident and varied. This interplay of texture adds depth and dynamism, suggesting reflections on water and the shifting atmosphere of a harbour at work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with traces of gilt and muted red accent. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Memory of a Coast

    Memory of a Coast

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A long and serene mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet expanse of a coastal scene, distilled into soft geometric fields of colour, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    Blocks of pale blue, sandy beige, and warm cream suggest shifting sands, shallow waters, and reflected light, while two muted brown landforms anchor the horizon line. The overall composition evokes the sensation of gazing at the shoreline through a veil of haze or memory, where form dissolves into atmosphere.

    The style is reductive and modernist, leaning toward abstraction while retaining the impression of sea, sky, and land. Broad, flat planes of colour are applied with gentle brushstrokes that reveal subtle texture beneath the surface, while thin, almost translucent layers give a sense of light filtering through. The palette is soothing and harmonious, dominated by sky blues and sandy neutrals with touches of earthy brown, evoking serenity and openness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame, with natural woodgrain visible. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Still Life in Angles

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century still life painting that presents an abstract yet structured arrangement of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board.

    A white pitcher, a brass candleholder with a partially burned candle, and a blue-handled pan are depicted resting atop a dark wooden table. The background is muted green, providing a subdued contrast to the bold, simplified forms.

    The painting embraces a Cubist-inspired style, characterised by geometric abstraction and angular distortions. The objects are deconstructed into sharp-edged planes, lending the composition a sculptural quality.

    The colour palette is earthy and restrained, featuring shades of green, beige, blue, and brown, with accents of gold in the candleholder. The brushstrokes are expressive, adding depth and a sense of movement to the otherwise still arrangement.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Village Pathway

    Village Pathway

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures a female figure walking along a village pathway, gracefully balancing a vessel on her head, executed in oil onto board.

    The woman, dressed in a flowing blue skirt and dark top, is set against a backdrop of geometric, almost abstracted row of houses that recede rhythmically into the distance.

    Modernist in its ethos, the artist has reduced the scene into bold, flattened forms and simplified shapes. There’s a more structured feel in the angular rooftops and the faceted treatment of architecture and landscape, while the figure maintains a sense of movement and gesture.

    The colour palette is muted, with gentle contrasts between warm and cool tones. The bright blue of the skirt stands out as a focal point, anchoring the viewer’s eye.

    The paint is applied with deliberate, confident strokes – thick and flat in some areas, with visible texture. The brushwork emphasises shape and form over fine detail, enhancing the painting’s graphic, almost mosaic-like quality.

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

  • Silhouette in Shadow

    Silhouette in Shadow

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century figurative oil painting that presents an enigmatic image of a figure cloaked in shadow, executed in oil onto canvas

    The subject, defined by broad, gestural brushstrokes, is rendered in deep blacks and beige, wearing a dark coat and a brimmed hat that casts an air of mystery. The anonymity of the face  – left intentionally undefined – imbues the piece with a sense of intrigue and ambiguity, leaving space for the viewer’s own interpretation.

    The background is composed of layered tones of cool grey-blues and muted teals, painted with bold, sweeping strokes that create a textured, almost turbulent atmosphere. The contrast between the shadowy figure and the lighter, restless background emphasises the sense of isolation and presence.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is raw and unrefined, conveying mood and form over detail. The palette is restrained yet powerful, relying on dark neutrals against cold, subdued hues to evoke both drama and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a white-painted wooden frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint loss at its left side.

    A mid-century figurative painting depicts a group of figures walking side by side through a quiet coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The suggestion of the sea can be seen in the background, framed by simple geometric rooftops and houses rendered in muted tones. The figures appear almost sculpted from the paint itself, evoking a sense of companionship.

    Executed in an expressive modernist style, the artist has used broad brushstrokes and thick impasto to build texture and depth. The palette is dominated by cool greys, muted blues, soft creams, and earthy neutrals, creating a subdued yet harmonious composition. The simplified forms and blurred facial features lend the work an introspective and contemplative atmosphere, placing emphasis on mood and structure over detail.

    Riverbend at Dusk

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and soothing mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil countryside view with a winding river cutting diagonally across open fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition leads the eye into the distance, where layered hills and a soft, expansive sky stretch across the horizon. The painting conveys both stillness and quiet movement, as the river becomes a guiding line through the scene.

    Painted in a modernist, mid-century manner, the artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms rather than meticulous detail. The work leans towards abstraction while retaining enough realism to evoke a recognisable landscape.

    The palette is earthy yet luminous, with rich greens, browns, and muted burgundies in the foreground fields. A bold streak of deep blue defines the river, contrasting against the surrounding land. Above, soft creams, pale pinks, and gentle blues create a sky at once atmospheric and serene, suggesting the shifting light of late afternoon or early evening.

    The brushwork is loose and gestural, laid down in broad sweeps that capture the essence of fields, sky, and water. The layered strokes in the sky suggest drifting clouds, while horizontal blends across the horizon create depth and atmosphere. The foreground is built up in thicker, more textured strokes, giving the land a grounded presence against the airy openness above.

    This large oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, The frame has light age-related wear, including some scuffs to the gilded section, which do not detract from its overall presentation.

  • Objects in Conversation

    Objects in Conversation

    £545

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and contemplative mid-century still life painting that presents a pared-back arrangement of everyday objects rendered with a quiet elegance, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    At the centre sits a pale green bowl, its rounded form contrasted by the angular geometry of a brown-toned box to the right, in which rests a slender stick of darker pigment. Behind them looms a tall, shadowy bottle form, its deep black silhouette anchoring the composition against a softly tonal grey background.

    The artist has worked with a restrained yet evocative palette: muted greens, brown, black, cream, and steel blues. The colours are applied in broad, confident blocks, with thick, textural brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand and lend a sculptural weight to the surface. Subtle tonal modulations in the background add depth while maintaining a minimalist sensibility.

    Stylistically, the work reflects mid-century modernist tendencies – simplicity of form, clarity of shape, and an emphasis on the quiet beauty of the ordinary.

    This oil on board is beautifully presented in a characterful wooden frame with a ribbed pattern, and finished in a light cream with muted gilt edging. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a slight widening to corners but it is in a stable and good condition overall.

    Cottages by the Coast

    £685

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century coastal landscape composition, painted in oil onto board 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.

    this painting captures a cluster of whitewashed houses with red roofs nestled amongst greenery, leading down toward the open expanse of sea. A winding sandy path moves through the centre of the scene, guiding the viewer’s eye from the foreground village to the calm water and distant headlands on the horizon.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the artist has reduced forms to bold, simplified shapes, giving the scene a structured yet tranquil quality. The emphasis is on composition and tonal balance rather than fine detail.

    The colour palette is harmonious with soft greys and muted blues dominating the sky and water. Deep greens define the trees and foliage, offset by creamy whites of the buildings and the warm terracotta and russet hues of the roofs.

    The brushwork is broad, flat, and assured, with blocks of colour laid down in an almost geometric manner. Visible, textured strokes lend energy and tactility to the surface, while the overall handling reinforces the sense of quiet order and calm in the scene.

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

  • Chair by the Archway

    Chair by the Archway

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

    The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

    The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

    The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cubist Tabletop

    Cubist Tabletop

    £615

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and striking mid-century cubist still life that presents an arrangement of objects distilled into bold, geometric forms, painted in oil onto canvas.

    At the centre, a single red rose rises sharply from a faceted brown vase, its angular green leaves echoing the crystalline structure of the surrounding elements. Beside it, a vivid blue jug rendered in interlocking planes stands with sculptural presence, while a small angular fruit or object rests upon a two-toned plate in the foreground.

    The composition is a masterful exercise in cubist reduction, where natural forms are translated into prismatic shapes. The background is similarly fragmented into overlapping planes of muted lilac, teal, and yellow, lending the scene a sense of depth and dynamism while maintaining strict flatness.

    The palette balances earthy browns and greys with vibrant accents of cobalt blue, emerald green, and a sharp pop of crimson. The brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, applied in clean, even planes of colour without visible texture, emphasising structure over gesture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited frame with an outer linen border and an inner cream window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame does have some scuffing but is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Tulips in a Blue Vase

    Tulips in a Blue Vase

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed floral still life composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1947 on the reverse.

    This painting is a still life depicting a bouquet of tulips in a blue vase. The flowers have dark red and purple petals with white edges, and their stems and leaves are long and curved. The background features broad, textured brushstrokes in muted browns, blues, and purples, creating a moody atmosphere. The table surface is painted in light tones of cream and greenish hues, contrasting the darker backdrop.

    The colours in this painting don’t shout, they whisper, giving the painting a soft, contemplative silence. There’s a tangible calm, as if time has slowed down just long enough to notice the fleeting moment.

    The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible strokes that suggest movement and texture. The artist seems to use a technique where the individual strokes build form rather than smooth blending, adding a painterly quality.

    Tulips, often associated with love and rebirth, are shown here slightly wilted and heavy—perhaps representing impermanence or the bittersweet nature of memory. The heavy lean of the stems feels like a surrender to gravity, a soft echo of time’s pull.

    This oil on board is presented in very well made wood frame with an inner brown border, which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cacti by the Window

    Cacti by the Window

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An elegant mid-century still life that captures a charming scene of three potted plants arranged along a windowsill and silhouetted against an exterior scene of houses, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1947.

    The central cactus dominates the composition with its upright, almost sculptural form, flanked by 2 other leafy plants on its sides. Through the window, the viewer glimpses a townscape with brown and red buildings, softened by pale skies and winter-bare trees.

    Painted in an expressive style, the work fuses still life with urban landscape. It is representational but simplified, with a strong emphasis on shape, form, and the interplay between interior and exterior space. The artist captures not just the plants themselves, but also the mood of the scene – a quiet, contemplative moment of domestic life through the use of earthy muted shades.

    The brushwork is bold and textured, with a rough, impasto application that gives the surface a tactile quality. Forms are built up through broad, confident strokes, while details are pared back to essentials, creating a sense of rhythm and structure.

    This oil on board is beautifully presented in a well-suited wooden frame with an inner gilt border. The work itself is in good vintage condition, with two small pin holes to the top section when inspected closely (one at the middle of the top edge and another near the blossoming tree) – which do not detract from its overall impression. The frame is also in good condition with minor surface wear.

    Size:  55 x 64 cm (including frame)

  • Rooftops in Rhythm

    Rooftops in Rhythm

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively mid-century oil painting that captures a tightly woven urban street scene, composed of overlapping rooftops and clustered facades, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has reduced the architecture into simplified geometric planes, creating a rhythmic patchwork of shapes that echo the rise and fall of a townscape. A crisp white house with a bold terracotta roof stands at the center, anchoring the composition, while a striking teal roof to the left provides a vibrant counterbalance.

    Executed in a modernist, almost cubist-inspired manner, the piece emphasises flattened forms and spatial compression rather than strict realism. The brushstrokes are controlled yet textured, with clear delineations that carve out the roofs and walls in confident blocks of colour.

    The palette blends earthy reds, deep browns, and muted greys with contrasting highlights of creamy whites and a vivid turquoise. The restrained use of pastel lilacs and dusky pinks softens the angular geometry, lending warmth to the architectural study.Broad, solid brushstrokes define the rooftops with minimal blending, creating sharp contrasts between each plane. The overall application feels deliberate and structured, reinforcing the sense of order within the crowded composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a very well suited linen-lined frame with an outer and inner grey border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age wear but it is in good stable condition.

    Size:  72 x 44.5 cm (including frame)

  • Memory of a Landscape

    Memory of a Landscape

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and abstract mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board.

    This painting is composed of large, solid blocks of colour and thick, expressive brushstrokes. While not realistic, it suggests a natural scene, perhaps a sunset or sunrise over hills or a valley.

    The upper half of the canvas is dominated by a clear, bright blue that could represent the sky. There is a large red circle positioned in the top right quadrant – this striking element resembles the sun or moon, radiating a powerful visual presence, anchoring the composition. Below the red circle is a sweeping shape in green, possibly representing a grassy hill or field, surrounded by brown, beige, and ochre, evoking earth or terrain.

    There are small red marks scattered to the green and brown area, which add interest and detail and encourage you to look deeper at the painting, drawing you in.

    Despite its boldness, the horizontal layering and balanced composition give a sense of calm and order. This is the kind of painting that invites multiple interpretations—sunset over a landscape, a memory, or even an abstract metaphor for time and place.

    This oil on board is presented in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 41 x 48 cm (including frame)

  • Poppies in Green Vase

    Poppies in Green Vase

    £800

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century still life painting that captures the quiet elegance of two vivid red poppies, their stems leaning delicately from a green vase, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a geometric backdrop of cool-toned rectangles in teal, turquoise, and slate, the flowers appear both fragile and bold, their bright scarlet petals sharply contrasting with the subdued, structured background.

    Executed in a modernist style, the composition is pared back and minimal, yet highly expressive. The brushstrokes are textured and layered, giving the surface a tactile, almost woven quality. The artist uses flat planes of colour and simple forms, yet allows slight irregularities in line and texture to introduce warmth and humanity to the structured setting.

    The palette balances the cool serenity of aquas, teals, and muted blues with the arresting vibrancy of the red blooms. The lime vase adds a playful accent, anchoring the composition with brightness. The overall mood is contemplative and quietly joyful – a celebration of beauty in restraint, and of the way colour alone can evoke emotion.

    This oil on board is is presented in a beautiful wide wooden frame with natural wood grain visible. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small mark on its top inner section.

    Size: 59 x 52 cm (including frame)

    A striking still life painting from 1996, that captures a sprig of vibrant red rowan berries arranged in a deep cobalt blue vase, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The clusters of berries, set against elongated yellow-green leaves, extend gracefully beyond the vase, with one branch resting gently on the white tabletop. The background, rendered in a soft blue, provides a serene contrast to the lively bursts of red and gold.

    Executed in an expressive, modern style, the artist has used visible, confident brushstrokes that create texture and a sense of vitality throughout the composition. This still life radiates a sense of warmth and optimism, as the vivid red clusters burst with life against the calm, cool backdrop.

  • Shoreline Light

    Shoreline Light

    £410

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century coastal landscape painting that captures the quiet meeting point between land, sea, and sky in a softened abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The horizon line divides the composition with calm simplicity: a pale sky stretches above a tranquil blue sea, while the foreground is alive with textured planes of yellow, orange, rust, and sandy beige. These earthy tones suggest windswept dunes basking under light, while the faint hints of rose and lavender lend a delicate warmth to the scene.

    Painted in an abstract impressionist manner, the artist has used broad, confident strokes, layering thick impastos of colour that create both depth and vibrancy. The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with overlapping textures that blur the boundaries between natural forms, evoking movement and atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has a mark to the bottom edge as shown.

  • Teapot & Bottles

    Teapot & Bottles

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and painterly mid-century still life painting that presents a serene arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At the forefront sits a luminous white teapot, its rounded form catching light and contrasting with the tall, shadowy silhouettes of bottles behind it. The background features muted geometric shapes, suggesting furniture or architectural forms, further emphasising the structured balance of the composition.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, muted greys, soft creams, and cool blues, creating a subdued yet harmonious tonal range. The brushstrokes are confident and textural, with thick, layered applications of paint that bring a tactile quality to the surface. The strokes vary between broad, sweeping movements in the background and more controlled, angular marks on the objects, lending the painting a dynamic rhythm.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Veils of Grey

    Veils of Grey

    Sold

    SOLD

    A  large mid-century abstract painting that explores an interplay of muted tones and layered forms, creating a composition that feels both architectural and atmospheric, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject matter is non-representational, allowing the viewer to interpret shifting planes and subtle depths that suggest shadowed interiors or blurred landscapes without resolving into a fixed image.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of whites, greys, silvers, and soft taupe, with occasional accents of darker brown and hints of blue, the work captures a cool, contemplative mood.

    The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate – some areas built up with dense, textured applications, while others are feathered, thinned, or softly blended to create a sense of translucency and motion. The overall effect is one of quiet dynamism, as if forms are emerging and dissolving within a luminous fog.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.
