    A tranquil and atmospheric landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1992.

    This scenic painting depicts a view of an open field surrounded by trees and barns. As the sun sets in the evening, its golden rays fill the sky and washes the fields with beautiful hues of yellow.

    The painting is very well-balanced with an even distribution of sky and land. Through the use of gentle brushstrokes as well as calm lighter shades used to paint the sky and darker tones used to paint the landscape, the artist has skilfully managed to capture the soft sunset and the serenity of nature.

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

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but very impactful mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In this painting we see a group of trees depicted in an expressionist style, with thickly applied paint in vivid, non-naturalistic colours. The artist has created areas of impasto, where the paint stands proud from the surface, adding texture and three dimensionality to the composition. Using an autumnal palette mainly composing rich hues of orange, brown, black and yellow, the artist has captured the bark on the trunks in a very personal and expressive way, creating a lively array of colour and texture.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary black frame with an inner white panel border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has areas of paint loss which have been previously coloured in with black, as shown in close ups.

    A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1968 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have been represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum, and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

    A group of mostly unidentifiable objects in a very restrained palette sit against a grey background. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the pops of orange and pink, which draws our eyes to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

    This original oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

    The artist has worked in an expressive manner, using loose and scribble-like brushstrokes to convey the raw emotion and fleeting nature of the scene.

    A beautifully textured and atmospheric mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a vast landscape, that is partially snow-covered, and with areas of brown soil and greenery exposed.

    The artist has used planes of contrasting soothing colours to create a dynamic visual experience, as well as to demonstrate depth and width to the painting.

    The use of the impasto technique – where thick bold strokes of paint have been applied such the paint stands proud from the surface, adds texture and a tactile quality.

    This oil on canvas is framed in a deep profile cream frame which suits the painting very well. There are very minor scuffs to the frame corners, but the overall appearance is still very good. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 36 x 70 cm (including frame)
