    Blue Bowl & Pears

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but very striking still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, 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 balanced arrangement of fruit upon a wooden surface. At the centre sits a vivid cobalt-blue bowl, cradling a bright yellow lemon and a tightly clustered bunch of deep purple grapes, accented with a bold green leaf. Surrounding the bowl are five pears in varying tones of green and brown, their organic forms adding rhythm and balance to the composition.

    The artist has used a simplified, almost sculptural style, emphasising solid blocks of colour and clear outlines over intricate detail. The palette is bold and saturated, contrasting jewel-like purples and blues against earthy browns and greens, with the lemon’s intense yellow providing a sharp highlight. The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, flat applications of paint that create a sense of weight and presence.

    The background is rendered in horizontal bands of brown, giving a structured backdrop that contrasts with the roundness of the fruit.

    This tempera on board is presented in a well suited frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A lively mid-century post-impressionist landscape composition, executed in oil onto board.

    Small yet impactful, the painting showcases a vibrant and abstracted depiction of nature, where lush fields with rolling hills in the background have been deconstructed and simplified into blocks of contrasting shades.

    Post-impressionist in nature, the artist has selected a saturated and rich palette – using colours to evoke emotion rather than merely representing the landscape. The use of expressive brushstrokes, combined with a lightly textured surface, contribute to the painting’s dynamic and emotive quality as well.

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

    Grapes & Pears

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, 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 golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

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

    The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

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

    Maris

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A enigmatic figurative oil painting that presents a striking, abstracted portrait of a lone figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

    The subject is rendered with elongated, geometric features, their pale face standing starkly against a moody, layered background. The figure’s hair, painted in a deep, earthy rust-red, frames the face and flows downward, anchoring the composition.

    The style is boldly modernist, with an emphasis on simplified forms and blocks of colour rather than fine detail. The palette is restrained yet atmospheric: muted blue-greys dominate the ground, offset by the ochre-yellow of the garment and the rusty red of the hair. Subtle tonal variations and visible brushstrokes add texture and depth, giving the surface a raw, tactile quality.

    The brushwork is expressive and confident, with layered strokes that reveal the artist’s hand. Shadows and planes of colour are suggested rather than fully defined, creating a sense of mystery and introspection. The overall impression is one of quiet strength and contemplative stillness, in keeping with the aesthetics of mid-century abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Pear & Pitcher

    Pear & Pitcher

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An elegant mid-century still life composition that presents a pared-back arrangement of a single green pear alongside a white pitcher, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is striking in its simplicity, emphasising the quiet relationship between form, line, and negative space.

    Painted in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used clean, confident brushstrokes and a limited palette of muted greys, soft blues, and creamy whites, punctuated by the fresh, vivid green of the pear. The play of shadow and light across the tabletop introduces subtle tonal variations, while the black accents on the pitcher handle and base lend contrast and visual rhythm.

    The brushwork is deliberate yet unfussy – broad, smooth strokes for background and surface planes, and more defined, darker lines for the outlines and details. The result is a composition that feels at once minimal and contemplative.

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

  • Blue Horizon

    Blue Horizon

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that presents a serene and minimalist abstraction of a coastal landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is reduced to bold horizontal bands and planes of colour, evoking sea, sky, and shoreline through pure geometry.

    The subject matter is suggested rather than depicted – soft gradations of blue recall the horizon line where sea meets sky, while the darker horizontal strip hints at a distant shoreline, and the pale lower section conveys the sandy openness of the beach.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with a restrained geometric abstraction typical of mid-century sensibilities. The artist emphasises simplicity, balance, and a meditative stillness, favouring form and colour over literal detail.

    The colours are cool and calming: pale sky blue and soft powder blue are contrasted with earthy browns, muted creams, and gentle yellows. These tones create both harmony and subtle tension across the composition.

    The brushstrokes are controlled and smooth, with areas of solid flat colour applied in broad planes, giving the painting a crisp, clean quality. The artist’s hand is deliberately understated, prioritising structure and tonal contrasts over texture.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary and well made wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

  • Constructed Balance

    Constructed Balance

    £975

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist abstract oil composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Bengt Delefors (1917-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Borås Art Museum, and others.

    This abstract still life composition has been reduced to bold, geometric forms and overlapping planes of colour. A circular form rests against angular shapes, suggesting the presence of everyday objects reimagined through abstraction. The composition is carefully balanced, with diagonal strokes introducing movement across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century abstract style, the work embraces simplification and geometric reduction, drawing on the principles of Cubism while leaning into a modernist emphasis on form and structure over representation.

    The palette is earthy yet dynamic, dominated by deep greens, muted browns, and bold blocks of red, offset by neutral tones of beige and cream. The interplay of darker and lighter hues creates depth and tonal contrast, giving the surface both rhythm and solidity.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, with areas of thickly applied paint and visible strokes that enhance the painting’s sense of immediacy and physical presence. The layering of opaque and semi-opaque colours builds a structured, tactile surface.

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

  • Astrid

    Astrid

    £855

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist style figurative composition that presents a contemplative nude figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    The figure, constructed through broad angular planes and softened edges, is seated in a relaxed pose, one leg bent and the torso subtly twisted – creating a gentle rhythm that guides the viewer’s gaze through the composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet warm palette of ochre, sienna, and earthy umber, the body is set against a backdrop of powder blue, grey, and dusty taupe. This juxtaposition of warm and cool tones imbues the painting with both emotional tension and visual calm.

    The brushwork is expressive but controlled, with textured applications of paint that oscillate between opaque coverage and dry-brush translucency, revealing the wood grain beneath. There’s a tactile quality to the strokes – layered, scraped, and directional – that accentuates the structural anatomy of the figure while maintaining abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting’s surface exhibits areas of craquelure, consistent with age. While the paint layer remains stable across most of the canvas, there is some instability noted in the central section beneath the figure’s chest. The frame is in good vintage condition. 

    Size: 82.5 x 68.5 cm (including frame)

    A bold and enigmatic mid-century figurative portrait, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The composition depicts a simplified and abstracted figure with a frontal, mask-like face. The facial features are distorted, emphasising expressive shapes and tones rather than realism. Containing elements of expressionism and abstraction, there is a strong emphasises on emotional resonance, as opposed to detailed representation.

    The brushwork is bold and expressive, with thick, impasto strokes that create a textured surface.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and emotive mid-century figurative portrait composition that is characterised by expressive brushwork and a rich interplay of colours, executed in oil onto board and dated 1944.

    The subject, a solemn individual, is depicted with an elongated face and angular features, exuding an introspective presence. Positioned against an abstracted interior background, the painting suggests a domestic setting with hints of a decorative element behind the figure, possibly a painting.

    Loose, painterly brushstrokes fill the surface, as the artist has applied paint in a gestural, almost raw manner – with visible and layered strokes that convey a sense of immediacy and emotion. This technique creates texture and imbues the work with a dynamic quality.

    The palette consists of an array of muted shades that evoke a subdued but powerful emotional tone, suggesting introspection or melancholy.

    A brilliantly executed modernist style figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition features a model seated on a tall brown stool, with one leg resting on a shorter platform while the other touches the floor.

    The artist has deliberately chosen to omit the facial features, instead focusing on the figure’s form, accentuated by the dark outlines that trace the silhouette and bring a sense of structure and definition to the piece.

    The subject, dressed in a muted green top, cropped blue trousers, and accented with a pale pink scarf, sits on a red-cushioned wooden chair. Their head is turned slightly to the side, the facial features left abstract, allowing posture and colour to convey mood.

    The composition is set against a dynamic backdrop of vertical strokes in varying shades of blues and orange, creating a sense of depth and vibrancy.

    The central figure, a woman in a black top and green skirt, appears calm and composed. She draws the viewer’s eye and provides a human anchor amid the busier setting.

  • The Tram

    The Tram

    £625

    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.

  • Cup Collective

    Cup Collective

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemporary still life painting that presents a playful arrangement of cups, each uniquely patterned and simplified into bold, graphic silhouettes, painted by British artist Annemarie Derrick in 2025.

    The composition features eight cups and mugs, neatly arranged in a grid, their individuality revealed through distinct decorative motifs – spots, stripes, florals, and sunburst designs.

    The style is characteristically contemporary with a nod to mid-century design sensibilities, balancing minimalism with whimsy. Executed in a muted palette of greys, creams, and whites, the work is enriched by subtle terracotta accents along the handles and outlines, lending warmth to the restrained tones. The background is painted in a flat, earthy grey that allows the cups to stand forward with quiet presence.

    The brushwork is confidently loose and textural, with visible strokes that add depth and tactility to the surface while retaining an intentionally naïve, hand-drawn charm. The simplicity of form and repetition creates a sense of rhythm and order, while the variety of decoration introduces individuality and delight.

    This painting is on cradled wooden panel and is presented in a white wooden floating frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Interaction

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant geometric abstract composition that explores form and interaction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting features a dynamic arrangement of amoebic shapes in overlapping layers. The subject matter is intentionally non-representational, evoking the energy of human presence or social exchange through softened silhouettes that seem to drift, merge, or dance within a flat pictorial space.

    Rendered in bold blocks of solid colour – striking red and orange, yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum – the forms float atop a simplified two-tone background of blue and green, suggestive of sky and earth. The palette is both playful and intentional, using contrast to create visual depth without shadows or gradients.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and minimally textured, allowing the flatness and precision of each colour field to hold compositional tension. The overall effect is a harmonious yet enigmatic piece that invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between shape, space, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks (as pictured).

    Executed in a restrained palette of muted greys, whites, and soft earthy outlines, the work embraces simplicity while highlighting form and design. The brushstrokes are confident yet textured, leaving slight variations on the surface that lend a tactile quality.

    A striking contemporary still life painting that transforms the simplicity of everyday objects into an elegant study of form and balance, by British artist Annemarie Derrick and painted in 2025. 

    A tall jug, a short cup, a chalice-like cup with a simple sun motif, and a spoon are rendered with clarity and restraint against a muted, structured backdrop.

The restrained palette of soft greys, creams, and earthy neutrals brings a timeless quality, while the fine black outlines and deliberate brushwork lend both clarity and texture. The acrylic surface carries a tactile richness, with subtle variations in tone and brushstroke adding depth to the otherwise minimal arrangement.

  • Winter Valley

    Winter Valley

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century modernist landscape that captures a quiet riverside valley, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is dominated by angular mountains in deep forest greens and dark charcoals, their rugged forms rendered with bold, expressive brushwork. A wide, silvery river cuts across the middle ground, its surface marked by thick, horizontal strokes of slate grey and muted blue, suggesting the shimmer of icy water. In the foreground, simplified geometric shapes hint at houses or cabins along the riverbank, grounding the scene in human presence.

    The palette is restrained yet powerful, with cool greys, steely blues, and earthy greens accented by subtle touches of brown and white. The brushstrokes are vigorous and layered, applied with visible energy that conveys both the weight of the mountains and the restless flow of water. The overall style leans toward abstraction while maintaining the essence of the natural scene, reflecting the modernist drive to distil nature into form, colour, and movement.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver frame with black border accents. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    At the center stands a tall black pitcher with a sweeping handle, its form accentuated by patches of turquoise, white, and yellow that lend vibrancy and depth. In the foreground, two deep red onions and a bulb of garlic anchor the composition, their rounded shapes contrasting with the pitcher’s angular silhouette.

    The artist has used a highly textured technique, layering thick strokes of oil paint that leave visible ridges across the surface. The palette is restrained yet powerful, dominated by black, grey, and white, with strategic bursts of colour to enliven the scene. The brushwork is vigorous and gestural, giving the objects a tactile, almost sculptural presence while retaining a sense of spontaneity and abstraction.

  • Whispers of Blue

    Whispers of Blue

    £780

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasant and soothing modernist abstract landscape oil composition dated 1964, 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.

    The painting presents a lyrical abstraction of nature, rendered in a simplified, expressive manner. Dominating the canvas is a large, cloud-like form in soft sky blue, spreading across the surface in loose, swirling brushstrokes that suggest movement and depth. Around this central mass, smaller organic shapes in earthy olive-greens rise vertically, evoking trees or natural formations, while muted pink and cream passages peek through, softening the composition.

    The style is minimalist yet painterly, leaning toward abstraction while still evoking landscape elements. The palette is restrained but harmonious: pale blue, moss green, muted pink, and warm beige. The brushwork is broad, textured, and somewhat gestural, creating a sense of spontaneity and rhythm.

    Overall, the piece balances form and void, evoking the serenity of a landscape distilled into pure colour and shape.

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

  • Mediterranean Rooftops

    Mediterranean Rooftops

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that captures the sunlit charm of a coastal Mediterranean village, where whitewashed houses rise in layered planes against the calm backdrop of the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The subject matter focuses on architectural forms – flat rooftops, arched facades, and shaded recesses – simplified into interlocking blocks of light and shadow. A few dark accents of trees break the uniformity of white, grounding the composition with contrast.

    Painted in a modernist style, the work emphasizes structure and atmosphere over detail, with an almost abstract quality to the geometry of the buildings. The palette is restrained, dominated by soft whites, pale greys, and cool sky blues, punctuated by deep green-blacks that suggest foliage.

    The brushstrokes are broad, fluid, and confident, applied in sweeping motions that suggest light glancing across plaster walls. Layers of paint overlap loosely, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, while still retaining a balance of form and rhythm. The overall effect is serene yet dynamic – an evocative study of place through shape, tone, and atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. There is a small indentation to the canvas on the top half, otherwise the painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

  • The Steam Train

    The Steam Train

    £520

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted 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.

    This landscape painting captures a stylised countryside scene with a steam train cutting across the middle ground, its billowing white smoke rising into a pale blue sky. The artist has simplified the forms into bold, geometric blocks of colour: deep greens and browns for the fields, sandy beige for the pathways, and darker earthy tones for the hills. A sliver of blue at the horizon suggests the sea, adding depth and contrast to the composition.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the work reduces natural detail in favour of strong shapes and tonal contrasts. The brushstrokes are broad and confident, applied with a matte, almost flat quality, lending the piece a sense of clarity. The balance between abstraction and representation gives the scene both immediacy and timeless simplicity, characteristic of mid-century aesthetics.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has some light surface marks but this does not detract and it is in good vintage condition overall, and the frame has scuffs present.

  • Coastal Bend

    Coastal Bend

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and tranquil mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where land, sea, and sky merge in soft abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A pale sandy shoreline curves gently into the canvas, embraced by rolling hills rendered in muted olive and sage tones. Beyond, a calm expanse of blue-grey water stretches across the composition, fading into a sky of pale blue and light peach with delicate cloud sweeps.

    The artist has worked in a semi-abstract modernist style, reducing natural forms to broad planes of colour and fluid, interwoven shapes. The palette is harmonious yet subtly contrasting – earthy browns and greens meet with cooler greys and sky blues. Brushstrokes are gestural and loose, layering both horizontal sweeps and curved motions that suggest movement in land and water.

    Overall, the work balances tranquillity with rhythmic energy, presenting an interpretation of nature through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

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

    Size: 64 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

  • Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

    Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid-century cubist painting that presents a fragmented figure seated beside a simple pedestal table holding a cluster of rounded fruit forms, painted in oil onto board.

    In this striking composition, the human form is reduced to angular planes and intersecting facets, the face and body articulated through a network of geometric shapes in pale cream, brown, and muted green tones, accented by deep blacks. The table and fruit echo this cubist language, with rounded grapes and apples broken into overlapping, flat colour areas.

    The style is distinctly cubist, emphasising structural simplification and the interplay of light and shadow through geometric abstraction. The artist balances areas of dense black with softer sage greens, creating a rhythmic tension across the composition. Brushstrokes are firm, deliberate, and textured, with the layered paint adding subtle depth to the otherwise flat geometry.

    The restrained palette – creams, greens, blacks, and teal-blues – contributes to the painting’s harmony, while the angular construction of the figure and still life demonstrates the artist’s focus on form and design rather than naturalistic representation.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary heavy solid wood frame with an oak-toned finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size:  95 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

  • Evening Harbour

    Evening Harbour

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid-century painting that presents a serene harbour scene with moored boats set against softly shifting reflections of water and sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    The artist has abstracted the forms of vessels and docks into interlocking geometric planes, capturing the essence of the harbour through suggestion rather than detail.

    Executed in a restrained yet harmonious palette, the work features muted ochres, warm browns, dusty blues, and gentle greens, punctuated by touches of rust-red along the hulls. The brushstrokes are broad and confident, laid down in flat, layered planes that create a rhythmic balance between solidity and fluidity. This compositional approach emphasises structure and form, while the softened edges convey an atmosphere of calm observation.

    In true mid-century style, the painting has reduced naturalistic detail in favour of tonal harmonies and simplified shapes, evoking both modernist abstraction and lyrical impression.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain and an inner gilt and cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Girl Reading with Vase

    Girl Reading with Vase

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet, contemplative moment of a young woman reading, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure, dressed in a soft blue garment, is seated in profile, her blonde hair carefully modelled with broad planes of colour. In front of her, a tall patterned vase decorated with patch-like blocks of muted blues, greens, pinks, and grey provides a bold counterpoint to her delicate form.

    The composition is built from simplified geometric shapes and flat planes, balancing figuration with semi-abstraction. The palette is harmonious yet lively. The brushstrokes are bold, visible, and confident. They have been applied with a thickness that lends the painting a tactile presence.

    This work embodies the modernist pursuit of distilling everyday life into essential shapes and colours, creating both intimacy and abstraction within a single frame.

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

  • Houses on the Horizon

    Houses on the Horizon

    £565

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing modernist painting that depicts a stylised horizon where three houses rest quietly in the distance, painted in oil onto board and dated 1970.

    The scene is reduced to bold horizontal bands of colour, evoking the sweep of open fields, sky, and distant land. The houses appear as simplified, block-like forms  – dark silhouettes accented with white and red – standing in quiet contrast against the rich layers of the landscape.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work emphasises abstraction and rhythm over detail, distilling the essence of farmland into pure forms.

    The brushwork is measured and horizontal, with deliberate layering that builds subtle depth while maintaining a calm and minimalist aesthetic. The simplicity of line and form imbues the painting with a contemplative, timeless quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary off-white painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.

  • House on the Hill

    House on the Hill

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and lively landscape painting that depicts a quiet suburban scene dominated by a white house set against lush greenery and an expansive blue sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1985.

    The composition is pared back to essential geometric forms – rectangular planes of house, hedge, and pavement, offset by rounded, block-like shapes of trees and bushes. A solitary vertical pole bisects the scene, adding structure and balance.

    The style is characteristically modernist, emphasizing abstraction over fine detail. Colours are laid down in broad, flat fields: vivid cobalt blue for the sky, deep greens for the hedges, warm purples and greys for the street and hillside, punctuated by flashes of yellow and red that animate the composition.

    The brushstrokes are bold, applied with confident, blocky movements that create a sense of solidity and rhythm rather than illusionistic depth. This restrained yet expressive handling distills the everyday view into a harmonious study of form, colour, and balance.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition – there is some light surface craquelure to the house areas as shown in close ups but the paint layer is very stable.

  • Sailboats in Still Waters

    Sailboats in Still Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century seascape that captures a serene harbour scene with a row of sailboats gently anchored, their tall masts mirrored in the calm water below, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of soft blues, sandy beiges, and muted whites, evoking the hazy atmosphere of a sunlit coastal morning. The forms are simplified and abstracted, emphasising shape and tonal harmony over fine detail.

    Broad, confident brushstrokes define the sails and their reflections, while areas of the canvas are left with a loose, almost sketch-like quality, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood. The surface shows a subtle layering of paint, where hints of underpainting peek through, adding depth and texture.

    This work balances elegance and abstraction, offering both a sense of place and a timeless modernist aesthetic.

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