    A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

    The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

    Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

    Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within a card mount and a stained black wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex. 

    Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

    In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

    A large mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This expressive gouache painting features a collection of abstract, stylized human figures, arranged vertically against a bold turquoise background. The figures are outlined with heavy black lines, giving them a graphic, almost childlike quality. Each character has a distinct presence but is rendered with simplified forms and exaggerated facial features.

    The gouache medium allows for bold, opaque colour application, giving the painting a vibrant, matte finish. Visible brushstrokes and unrefined edges enhance the raw, expressive energy.

    Overall, this piece feels dynamic and full of personality, with a playful yet intense aesthetic that invites viewers to interpret the relationships and emotions of the figures.

    The painting is presented within a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Much of Enos’ work on paper from the 1950s to 1970s uses gouache, often in tandem with other media. Gouache allowed his joy and passion for colour to shine. Enos’ work straddled the worlds of figurative and abstracted art as he dipped into both with equal enthusiasm.

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This vibrant gouache painting showcases an abstract, expressive portrait of a figure, executed with energetic, gestural lines and a vivid colour palette.

    Dominated by electric blues, purples, reds, greens, and black, with accents of yellow, pink, and white. The intense use of colour creates a dynamic, almost chaotic atmosphere. The central figure is constructed with a loose, overlapping web of continuous, scribbled lines. The facial features—particularly the eyes—are more defined yet still fragmented, conveying a sense of complexity and introspection.

    The painting exudes intensity and vulnerability, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional landscape behind the fragmented human figure.

    The painting is presented within in a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting has very small losses to upper corners of paper as seen in the photos.

    A large and vibrant mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lvoatt (1937-2018).

    Dominated by deep shades of red, purple, black, and blue, with accents of vibrant yellow and cyan. These contrasting colours create a strong visual tension. Colourful lines, particularly a yellow loop and bold blue stroke, cut across the face and neck, adding dynamic movement and further abstracting the form.

  • Pears & Glass Vase

    Pears & Glass Vase

    £1,050

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

    The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

     

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has water marks and wear across its inner border, and has some light scuffing present as well.

    A dynamic yet serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition captures a tranquil seascape with a bold yet abstracted and simplified approach.

The foreground presents rocky terrain with dynamic, gestural strokes of earthy tones—rich browns, and hints of purple and white—contrasting with the bright greens of greenery.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting embraces expressive and slightly abstracted forms rather than realistic details. The colours are vibrant, with a strong emphasis on blues and greens, juxtaposed against warmer, muted earth tones. The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident, with visible, textured strokes adding movement and depth to the composition. The sky exhibits smooth, blended transitions, while the land and sea are defined by more spontaneous, energetic marks, reflecting the raw beauty of a windswept coastal environment.

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

    Executed in a Fauvist-influenced, post-impressionist style, the painting embraces bold colour choices, flattened perspective, and an expressive, spontaneous approach to form.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

    Fruits on White Cloth

    £760

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed still life painting in tempera painted onto board in 1979, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The composition features a selection of fruit neatly arranged on a folded white cloth against a brown background. The simplicity of the subject matter allows the viewer to focus on the interplay of colours, shapes, and light within the artwork.

    The style is realistic yet painterly, and the depiction of shadows beneath the fruit and folds in the cloth adds depth to the image, enhancing its three-dimensionality.

    The palette is rich yet restrained. Warm tones dominate, with the reds, oranges, and yellows of the fruit providing vibrant focal points. The white of the cloth contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the brown background, creating balance and harmony in the composition.

    The brushstrokes are smooth and meticulous, contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

    This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame and with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century semi-abstract landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting portrays a row of houses with steep roofs, nestled amidst a nature landscape with grass and foliage, and under an overcast sky or at dusk.

    The artist has used a semi-abstract style – simplifying the various forms and capturing the mood of the scene rather than focusing on realistic details.

    The brushwork is loose and expressive-  with a blend of short, sharp dashes in the foreground and houses that add a dynamic quality, and softer and gentler strokes used to paint the sky.

    The colour palette is subdued and atmospheric, dominated by shades of grey, blues, and greens, with touches of white and soft yellows.  These muted tones lend a somber mood to the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian lined frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

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

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

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

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

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

  • White, Yellow, Blue, Black

    White, Yellow, Blue, Black

    £1,135

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking contemporary abstract still life composition that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board and dated 1991 by British artist Romi Behrens (1939-2019).

    The painting captures an abstract, minimalist arrangement of two distinct objects – a white pitcher and a violin – placed on a bright yellow bench and under a blue surface. With its striking colour, the yellow bench dominates as a focal point, energising the composition and contrasting against the dark black background.

    The presence of grid lines in the background suggests a tiled wall, and it adds depth as well as enhances the geometric nature of the composition.

    Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has deliberately reduced the objects into bold, simplified shapes and flat planes of colour. The use of thin black outlines further emphasises their shapes.

    The brushstrokes are visible and lightly textured, giving the work an expressive feel. The overall intentional lack of intricate details invites the viewer to contemplate the form, colour, and symbolism of everyday objects.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary tray frame.  The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some minor age wear but is in good condition overall.

    £850

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century abstract composition characterised by geometric shapes and dynamic forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    Although abstract in nature, the painting could suggest an architectural theme, as indicated by the overlapping arches, blocks, and angular lines that may resemble bridges, rooftops, and structures. Nevertheless, the painting invites viewers to interpret its abstract qualities through the interaction of colour and form.

    The colour palette is warm and muted, dominated by shades of terracotta, salmon pink, red, and soft white, punctuated by darker accents in navy blue and deep brown. These hues create a harmonious yet vibrant contrast, evoking a sense of movement and depth.

    The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, with visible texture and layering. The artist has applied paint in a manner that feels spontaneous but deliberate, emphasising the dynamic interplay between shape and colour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some losses as shown.

    Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully deconstructed the scene into bold geometric shapes and angular lines, dividing the space into distinct yet harmonious sections and making the composition well-balanced.

    A restrained palette of predominantly yellows and greens in varying tones, complemented by accents of white have been used, enhancing the artwork’s serene yet vibrant atmosphere.
