    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.

    Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame)

    An excellent mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    This expressionist piece features broad, gestural sweeping brushstrokes in warm and rich colours. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and giving this composition its painterly effect. The artist has captured the charm of the old farm house – its rust coloured palette and expressionist brushstrokes lend a rustic effect to the painting. This is enhanced by the distressed frame which adds to its lovely vintage charm.

    Still Life with Vegetables

    £455

    Available

    A brilliantly executed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    The artwork depicts a tabletop setting featuring an assortment of vegetables including carrots, radish, tomatoes, and a cabbage.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

    Expressive  and lightly textured brushstrokes fill the canvas and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skilfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.

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

  • The Tram

    The Tram

    £625

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet very striking modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a bustling scene in a city with a tram and some figures strolling in the foreground, and a building motif situated in the background of the painting.

    The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the tram, building and figures with a thin black outline, and the painting has a sketch-like quality. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

    The painting is characterised by a beautiful rich palette, as well as expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes that reflect the uplifting energy of the city.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has marks to its linen border as shown.

    The composition presents a captivating stretch of red houses positioned centrally, creating a beautiful contrast against the lush greenery that surrounds it. The background unveils a serene blue lake, mirroring the vast blue sky above. Beyond the lake, a row of green hills unfolds, extending into the horizon.

    The artist’s expressive brushstrokes as well as the overlaying of rich colours contribute to the overall sense of movement and energy within the painting, creating an uplifting atmosphere.

  • Cradle

    Cradle

    £915

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours  against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

    There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

    This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

    Size: 89.5 x 69 cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively and energetic city street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1998 by Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum, the Swedish Modern Museum, and also in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism,  this striking painting presents a bustling street filled with people strolling the sidewalk. Behind them lies a street with blue cars, followed by a view of the city skyline.

    An array of rich and uplifting colours as well as distinct energetic and intuitive brushstrokes fill the canvas, imbuing the work with a sense of dynamism. The artist has also used black outlines that provide a sketch-like quality that emphasises the silhouettes of the buildings, cars, and figures.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary robust frame with gold leaves, and with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs to its edges.

  • Off to School

    Off to School

    £265

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely and endearing miniature oil on canvas depicting a scene of a pedestrian walkway on a fine summer’s day.

    A woman in the foreground can be seen walking with her 2 children to drop them off at school. They are holding flowers in their hands, that they’ve picked along their journey.

    Rich and saturated colours fill this energetic painting; and the short and textured brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of liveliness and joy.

    What’s special too is that the artist has uniquely enhanced the greenery portion by adding graphite detailing in a ‘scribbled’ manner, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the trees.

    The painting is housed in a white card mount, and a green stained wood frame with a blue and gold inner wood border. The colours of the frame pick up on the colours within the painting beautifully, making it stand out even more. The work is glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the painting) to ensure its longevity.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Enigma

    Enigma

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive and skillfully executed mid-century abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The piece features a figure seated on a chair, its form abstracted. Striking in its simplicity, all realistic details have been omitted, leaving only the essential elements of brushstroke and colour to evoke a sense of contemplative solitude.

    The figure, painted in white with subtle pink undertones, sits with hands clasped together, subtly conveying a quiet moment of reflection. The silhouette is boldly outlined in a striking red, adding a dynamic contrast and accentuating the form’s presence.

    The background, seamlessly merging with the figure, is a energetic blend of grey, white, and pink undertones. The brushstrokes used are expressive and loose, conveying a powerful representation of the artist’s emotional experience.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing.

  • Modernist Ballerinas

    Modernist Ballerinas

    £895

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid-century figurative composition, 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 painting captures a scene of two ballerinas surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, rhe artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette, the artist has reduced the area around the ballerinas to angular planes in different gradients of brown.. Details such as the small but striking red lips of the figures, as well as the layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen-lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown in the close ups

    A richly textured and charming mid-century painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the composition presents a lively and scenic view of a balcony window, surrounded by a lush garden of vibrant flowers in bloom.

    There is an explosion of colours on the canvas – with bold and rich hues imbuing the painting with liveliness. The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes – using the impasto technique to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, resulting in a three-dimensional quality.

    A very pleasant modernist oil street scene composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Stig Wernheden (1921-1997), whose works have been represented at public collections in Sweden including the Moderna Museet, Malmö Museum, Snuff & Match Museum, Ystad Art Museum and Malmö City Hall.

    The painting features a scenic and charming city surrounded by lush greenery. In the foreground, a group of figures are depicted on a pathway walking towards the city.

    Painted with a modernist ethos, the artist reconstructed the buildings into flat blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of space and depth.

    The painting evokes a soothing and relaxing quality, brought through the use of soft and precise brushstrokes, as well as a gentle palette of predominant cool light tones.   

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner silver window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    £415

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A visually striking and expressive modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1949.

    The painting presents a group of objects including 2 lemons, 2 pots and a red napkin laid across a table, and set against a richly coloured backdrop.

    Through the masterful use of the colour gradient technique employing contrasting shades, as well as expressive and painterly brushstrokes, the three-dimensional objects are enhanced and the overall composition is full of character.

    Furthermore, in leaving areas of the board exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space demonstrates a sense of space and also draws our attention to the expressive quality of the brushstrokes.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary stained wood frame with an inner taupe window. There is some wear to the frame’s outer edges, and some surface marks to the window and frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    Houses at Midnight

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delightful modernist-style composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1998.

    This picturesque composition presents a night scene of a quiet neighborhood filled with houses. The scene is set under a beautiful blue sky, and a luminous crescent moon graces the night sky.

    The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness, yet skilfully capturing the stillness of the night. There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. Its ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek –  to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary deep and ridged silver frame that suits the painting very well. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Upon first glance, a vase of striking red tulips in the foreground captures our attention. Our eyes are then guided to a red ceramic jug in the middle ground, followed by a dresser in the background. There is a strong focus of attention on the objects as their bold colours stand out in contrast to the background painted in light cream, grey, sand, and blue tones.

    Boathouse

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing and restful modernist style river landscape composition, executed in oil and dated 1971.

    The composition presents a boat shed situated in lush greenery, and resting by a river where a boat is docked.

    The use of a cool and earthy colour palette including shades of blue, green, and brown imbues the painting with a calming feel. Containing impressionist qualities, distinct painterly brushstrokes have been dabbed swiftly across the surface, beautifully capturing the nature landscape and transient conditions of reflection and rippling effect of the water.

    This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, and is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. A tiny sliver of the backing board is visible to the top right corner. There is age toning to the linen border, as well as light wear to some of the frame corners.

    Construction 2

    £350

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional work features cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials.  It is a fine example of technical mastery and the organisation of material. Here the role of the artist as ‘painter’ has been re-imagined – the artist is an engineer wielding tools instead of a painter holding a brush. The art has been ‘built’, rather than emerging from an expressive impulse or an academic tradition. As a result, the artwork is intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.

    Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 38 x 48 cm (including frame)

    In this snow-filled composition, a lush forest is depicted beside a semi-frozen lake in the early morning of the day.  The air is calm, as the reflection of the trees are beautifully cast on the still waters.

    The artist has used a restrained palette comprising mellow shades of green, white and yellow; and together with the soft and light brushstrokes, the work evokes an overall sense of visual calm and tranquility.

  • Abbey Remains

    Abbey Remains

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures the elegance of the remains of a Gothic abbey, rendered in angular, abstracted forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

    The artist has deconstructed the architecture into bold geometric shapes and intersecting planes, offering a stylised, almost cubist interpretation of the structure. The skeletal remains of arched windows, pointed gables, and weathered stone towers are set against a pale, faceted sky and softly undulating hills.

    The palette is restrained yet evocative, with cool greys, browns, and muted greens dominating the composition. Subtle highlights of light blue and off-white suggest shifting daylight, lending a fragile luminosity to the scene. Thick, confident brushstrokes applied in mosaic-like patches give the surface a textured, tessellated effect, echoing the crumbling but enduring nature of the abbey itself.

    This oil on board  is housed in a beautiful distressed wood frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Barn by Country Road

    Barn by Country Road

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming mid-century modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting captures a quiet moment in the countryside, where a road leads past a barn house nestled among low trees. The structure, rendered in earthy red and brown tones, is softened by the hazy sky above and flanked by verdant green grass, evoking a serene rural atmosphere.

    Painted in a bold, modernist style, the artist has deconstructed and simplified the scene down to blocks of contrasting colours.

    Loose, expressive brushstrokes have been swiftly and confidently executed. The sky is composed of wide, horizontal strokes in soft blues and creams, contrasting with the dynamic diagonals of the road and grass below.

    The colour palette is muted – with greens, browns, soft greys, and sky blues creating harmony and warmth throughout.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint losses on its left side.

  • Coastal Road

    Coastal Road

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large mid-century modernist landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where a quiet road runs parallel to a shoreline, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition divides naturally into two sections: the vibrant blue of the sea on the left and the muted green of the grassy roadside on the right. In the foreground, a dry and sparse landscape is present, and a few scattered wooden planks rest on the ground. The distant horizon line reveals a subtle strip of land or an island against the vast expanse of sky.

    The artist has used a distinctly modernist approach, characterised by loose, gestural brushstrokes that emphasise texture and spontaneity. The composition has a balanced yet asymmetrical feel. The painting’s rough and textured brushwork brings a sense of immediacy and movement, as if capturing a fleeting moment.

    The palette is primarily composed of cool and earthy tones. The expressive brushstrokes wonderfully capture the windswept coastal atmosphere.

    This large oil on board is housed in a very well-suited linen lined frame with an inner gilt and cream border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Coastal Tranquility

    Sold

    SOLD

    This serene composition that captures the essence of a quiet coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1996.

    This coastal landscape features a cluster of houses with red and yellow roofs situated near a tranquil body of water. The composition draws the viewer’s eye from the vibrant colours of the houses in the foreground to the muted tones of the water and rocky shoreline in the distance.

    The painting is expressive – emphasising form and mood rather than fine detail. The thick, visible brushstrokes create texture and movement across the canvas, giving the piece a tactile, almost three-dimensional quality.

    The colour palette is both vibrant and subdued, with warm yellows and reds in the houses contrasting against the cool blues and greys of the water and sky.

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

  • Figures in Passage

    Figures in Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

    An evocative and striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board  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 presents four elongated, abstracted human figures, rendered with a bold economy of form. The figures stand in two pairs, separated by a vertical division, suggesting the architectural framing of a corridor, doorway, or transitional space. Faces are minimally defined, with the emphasis placed instead on geometric blocks of colour to articulate torsos, limbs, and garments.

    The artist has used a restrained yet warm palette of browns, burnt sienna, cream, slate blue, teal, and deep black, offset by lighter grey and beige backgrounds. These tones are arranged in strong, vertical segments, lending a rhythmic, almost sculptural quality to the composition.

    Broad, confident brushstrokes, laden with texture, create a tactile surface where each mark remains visible, emphasising the physical act of painting. The layering of paint and interplay between light and dark areas add depth and contrast, while the simplification of form gives the work a timeless, almost archetypal presence.

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

    A poised and balanced mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This composition features a rustic earthenware jug and a tall, narrow-necked bottle set against a stark surface of beige and muted blue. Clustered around the vessels are three pears and a golden onion, their organic forms softened with angular brushwork.

    Deliberate black outlines and the creative use of negative space frame each object with bold confidence – adding definition to the respective forms.

    The palette is subdued and earthy. The background is confidently blocked out in moody hues of browns and blues, evoking a quiet, introspective atmosphere. The brushstrokes are deliberate and lightly textural, with a visible painterly hand that flattens space while emphasising structure and form.

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

    At the heart of the composition is a potted geranium, its blushing pink blossoms and lush green foliage rendered in thick, expressive strokes that suggest the fleeting warmth of sunlight filtering into the room.

    The flower is flanked by two pitchers – one an earthy brown and the other a cool, light pale blue. The background is divided into blocks of pastel yellows, muted purples, and soft aquas, creating a subtly abstracted interior that emphasises tonal harmony and light.

    Painted with loose yet deliberate brushwork, the surface reveals the artist’s hand in every sweep and dab, imbuing the scene with movement.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary  white-painted distressed style wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick at its left corner but is in very good condition overall.

    Although abstract in nature, the painting captures the essence of a landscape scene, focusing more on colour, texture, and emotion, than on precise representation.

    The palette is dominated by rich yellows in the foreground, capturing the essence of sunlit plains or sand dunes. The middle and background areas feature shades of blue and teal, suggesting either the ocean or the edge of the sky meeting the horizon. Above, light blues and soft creams represent a broad, open sky, with fluffy, abstract clouds.

    The texture is highly expressive, with bold, sweeping strokes that give a sense of movement and dynamism to the landscape. The thick impasto application of paint, enhances the tactile quality and adds character to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing but nothing that detracts. 

    Size: 53 x 73 cm (including frame)

    Industrial Abstraction

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Size: 35.5 x 70 cm (including frame)

  • Lady in Profile

    Lady in Profile

    Sold

    SOLD

    A timeless and beautifully framed mid century modernist portrait composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This very well executed painting is  classical-style portrait of a woman shown in profile view, facing left. The subject has a composed expression, with carefully rendered facial features, especially her nose, lips, and eye. She wears a white headscarf with dabs of colour—blue, green, and red—adding liveliness to the otherwise muted colour palette.

    The brushstrokes are expressive and textured, characteristic of an Impressionist or Post-Impressionist style, giving the portrait a spontaneous, almost sketch-like quality while still capturing the essence of the subject. The background is a subdued greenish-grey, which helps bring the figure into focus.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with corner detailing and an inner green border which suits the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
