Sun Over the Hills
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century modern landscape depicting a village nestled between two towering mountains beneath a luminous midday sun, executed in oil onto board and dated 1949.

The composition simplifies the natural world into bold, interlocking forms, balancing geometric architecture with broad, sculptural hills to create a scene that feels both recognisable and dreamlike.

Painted in an expressive modernist style, the work embraces flat planes of colour and stylised shapes rather than naturalistic detail. The village is rendered as a lively mosaic of simplified buildings, while the surrounding mountains are distilled into sweeping, abstracted masses that frame the composition with dramatic presence.

The palette is rich and energetic, combining turquoise skies, glowing chartreuse, earthy olive greens, burnt oranges and deep crimson accents. Strong contrasts between cool and warm tones create a striking sense of sunlight and atmosphere, while dark passages anchor the composition and add visual depth.

Confident, painterly brushstrokes alternate with textured marks that enliven the mountain slopes and architectural forms. Areas of smooth blended colour sit alongside more gestural passages, allowing the surface to retain a sense of movement and spontaneity. The result is a bold, joyful composition that captures the warmth and vitality of the landscape through colour, rhythm and expressive design.

This oil on board is presented in a wood frame with a warm gilt outer edge, silver-toned inner moulding and deep green liner, complementing the painting’s vibrant palette. The painting is in excellent vintage condition overall, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively mid-century 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.

At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained; the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

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

By the Waterbank

Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a tranquil riverside scene with a subtle narrative undertone, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

Two figures rest on the grassy bank of a still canal, their gazes drawn toward a moored boat and a drawbridge in the distance. The composition is balanced by low farm buildings on the left and the soft sprawl of countryside under a cool, clouded sky.

Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is thick and confident, capturing texture and movement, especially in the turbulent sky and reflective water. The palette is dominated by muted tones: steely blues, sage greens, earthy browns, and soft greys, evoking a moody, contemplative atmosphere. The overall effect is quietly cinematic – a fleeting moment of stillness rendered with emotional restraint and painterly clarity.

Cottages by Quiet Water
£460
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle mid-century scene that unfolds along a modest shoreline, where a row of whitewashed cottages sits quietly beneath soft autumnal trees, and executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, three small wooden boats rest at ease on still water, their forms mirrored in loose, shimmering reflections. A pair of figures stand near the dock, adding a subtle narrative of companionship and scale to the composition.

The style leans toward a restrained impressionism, with a focus on atmosphere over detail. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, allowing the overall harmony of the scene to take precedence. The palette is beautifully muted: creamy whites, dusty pinks, warm browns, and gentle blues – evoking a calm, almost nostalgic mood. The sky is handled with delicate tonal variation, suggesting the fading light of late afternoon or early evening.

Brushstrokes are confident yet unforced, applied with a light touch that gives the painting its airy quality. The water is rendered with loose, horizontal strokes, capturing reflection rather than precision, while the cottages and boats are built up with slightly thicker, more defined marks.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with a rich honey-toned finish, as well as an gilt and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

The colour palette is an elegant blend of muted earth tones, including yellow, deep green, soft blue, and beige, creating a harmonious, atmospheric effect. The boats are rendered in stark white, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center of the composition.

Executed in a restrained yet confident manner, the brushstrokes are smooth and blended, with subtle textural variations that enhance depth and structure.

Harbour Front
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

The painting is bordered by a clean, lime-waxed wooden tray frame that complements the coastal theme. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

The viewer’s perspective is elevated, possibly from a balcony or overpass, looking out across a harbour populated with moored boats and a white ferry gliding through calm waters.

The artist has used a flattened, semi-cubist approach to space and form, using simplified shapes and thick, deliberate brushstrokes to construct the architecture and landscape. A palette of muted greys, brown, rust, and soft blues evokes an overcast or wintry atmosphere, while the warm orange of the lower rooftops adds grounding contrast.

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

Houses by the Canal
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century painting that captures a tranquil waterfront scene, where a row of softly rendered houses sits just beyond a calm canal, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, three small boats rest on reflective water, their curved forms echoing a sense of stillness and ease. The composition draws the eye horizontally, from the grounded solidity of the boats to the lively rhythm of the houses and trees behind them.

The style is distinctly modernist, with a loose, expressive approach that favours atmosphere over precision. The buildings are simplified into geometric forms, their facades painted in warm, sunlit tones contrasted by deeper greens of foliage and the muted blues of rooftops. The palette feels both playful and harmonious, with subtle tonal shifts that suggest changing light across the scene.

Brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible, fluid strokes that lend movement to the trees and water. The reflections in the canal are especially evocative – softly blurred and layered, creating a sense of depth without strict realism. Overall, the piece carries a gentle, nostalgic quality, evoking a quiet moment in a coastal village, where time feels slowed and the everyday becomes quietly beautiful.

This oil on board is housed in an elegant wood frame whereby the outer section is finished in a muted cream with subtle silver accents along the inner edges, and with an inner linen-textured mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century modernist painting of a coastal scene that presents a serene moment along a quiet shoreline, executed painted in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a solitary woman in a dark attire walks with measured steps, her white apron and pale yellow bundle offering a soft contrast to the muted ground. Beyond her, fishing boats are moored side-by-side, their clean lines and simplified forms rendered in flat tones of white, deep brown, and warm terracotta. A green container and stacks of pale coloured items add subtle colour accents, while the calm expanse of sea and pale blue sky create a tranquil backdrop.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting favours simplified shapes, smooth surfaces, and flat planes of colour over fine detail. The palette is composed of soft greys, muted blues, sandy beiges, and earthy browns, punctuated by touches of yellow and sea green. Brushstrokes are controlled and even, creating clean edges that enhance the scene’s sense of clarity and order.

The work captures not only the visual calm of a coastline but also the quiet rhythm of daily life by the sea, making it an elegant example of mid-century maritime modernism.

Sunlit Forms
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gold painted wood frame. There is some craquelure as shown in the close up photos, and the canvas is slight uneven. Overall, the painting is in stable condition, and these characteristics do not impact the visual appeal of the work.

Sunlit Tree
£490
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking and surreal mid century modernist landscape that blends abstraction and symbolism, painted in oil onto canvas.

The focal point is a tree with a twisted, expressive form that resembles a almost resembles a human hand reaching upwards. Delicate, swirling lines extend from the trunk, evoking movement and energy. The tree stands alone on rolling hills, adding to the sense of isolation and resilience.

The dark blue-green tree contrasts sharply against the bright backdrop, making it a dramatic focal point. The sunlight is depicted as geometric rays, creating a stylized effect reminiscent of cubism or modernist abstraction. The gradation of warm colors suggests a sunset or sunrise, symbolizing hope, transformation, or renewal. The contrast between warm and cool tones enhances the dreamlike atmosphere.

This painting conveys a sense of resilience, transformation, and interconnectedness between humanity and nature. The hand-like tree reaching toward the radiant sun could symbolize growth, struggle, or enlightenment, while the contrasting colors create a dramatic and emotional effect.

The Distant Green
£570
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape, depicting a broad, open countryside reduced to its most essential forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

A distant and low ribbon of fields stretches horizontally across the composition, punctuated by slender trees and softly defined clusters of foliage. Above and below, expansive areas of pale colour create a wonderful sense of space and stillness, giving the distant landscape an almost meditative presence.

The artist takes a distinctly modernist approach to the landscape, favouring simplification and abstraction over descriptive detail. The countryside is constructed through elongated bands and flattened shapes, with trees and hedgerows appearing as loose vertical and horizontal marks. The unusually low, narrow horizon emphasises the breadth of the surrounding space and lends the painting a strikingly minimalist quality.

The palette is wonderfully understated, dominated by warm ivory, soft cream and muted yellow, contrasted against a concentrated band of sage, olive, forest green and blue-green. Subtle shifts between these greens suggest fields, distant trees and changing vegetation without defining them too precisely. The warmth of the surrounding pale ground gives the cooler greens a particularly fresh luminosity.

Brushwork is loose and expressive. Broad horizontal sweeps establish the fields and horizon, while short, upright strokes indicate trees and distant structures. Areas of dry, broken pigment allow the lighter ground to show through, introducing texture and movement to the otherwise serene composition. The sparseness of the marks feels deliberate: with remarkably little detail, the artist captures the atmosphere and rhythm of a vast rural landscape.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

The Hills Beyond

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and wonderfully textured modernist landscape depicting a dense woodland and rolling hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

A small red-roofed structure sits quietly at the centre of the composition, almost enveloped by the surrounding trees. Beyond, the landscape rises into broad undulating hills, with a distant blue peak emerging beneath an expansive, pale sky.

The work has a distinctly modernist, expressionistic character, favouring simplified forms, heightened colour and energetic mark-making over naturalistic detail. The landscape is constructed in loose horizontal bands – foreground, woodland, hills and sky – while the upright forms of the trees create a lively vertical rhythm through the centre of the painting.

The palette is particularly vibrant, dominated by olive, forest and lime greens, punctuated by flashes of golden yellow, ochre, apricot and burnt orange across the trees. Deep blue-green and near-black passages give weight to the woodland, while the distant mountain is picked out in striking cobalt and ultramarine blue. Soft blue, cream and pale yellow sweep across the sky, balancing the richer earth tones below. The small building, rendered in warm red and brown, provides a subtle focal point amid the vegetation.

Paint has been applied with bold, vigorous and highly visible brushstrokes, with areas of thick impasto giving the surface a wonderfully tactile quality. Short, upright strokes articulate the trees, while broader, sweeping marks describe the contours of the hills and sky. In the foreground, long horizontal strokes of ochre and cream draw the eye into the scene. Throughout, glimpses of the underlying canvas remain visible between strokes, adding to the painting’s spontaneous, expressive character.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary natural wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Three Ladies

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, 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 composition depicts three elongated female figures standing closely together beneath a glowing amber sun. Their simplified silhouettes and dramatically oversized, geometric headwear lend the composition an almost ceremonial quality, while their close arrangement suggests companionship, solidarity and quiet intimacy.

The artist approaches the figures with a distinctly modernist sensibility, reducing the human form to elegant shapes and flattened planes. Facial features are deliberately minimal – small eyes and flashes of red at the lips emerge from dark faces – allowing posture, pattern and proportion to carry the expression. The exaggerated rectangular forms above the figures create a wonderful architectural rhythm across the upper half of the composition, contrasting with the softer curves of their shoulders and the setting sun behind them.

The palette is beautifully restrained and earthy, dominated by tobacco brown, umber, charcoal, muted taupe and warm terracotta. Against these subdued tones, touches of burnished ochre and golden yellow illuminate the patterned garments and echo the glowing sun, while tiny accents of blue and deep red provide unexpected points of colour.

Brushwork is largely soft and controlled, with broad areas of thinly worked, matte colour creating the painting’s characteristic flattened appearance. The edges retain a slight softness and irregularity that reveals the hand of the artist rather than feeling rigidly graphic. More animated marks appear within the clothing: loosely brushed golden squares, narrow vertical strokes and scattered jewel-like dabs create texture and individuality across each figure. These small painterly details enliven the otherwise restrained composition and provide a pleasing counterpoint to its bold geometric forms.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful and very well suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a mark to the bottom section of the linen border, which does not detract from the overall appearance of the piece.

Size: 79 x 79 cm (including frame)

Blue Echoes
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition that explores the tension between mass, movement and negative space, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

Rather than depicting a recognisable subject, the painting invites interpretation through its bold architectural forms and layered textures. A sweeping black arc anchors the composition, while sculptural passages of white, vivid cobalt blue and warm browns appear to float across a tranquil slate-grey ground, suggesting the remnants of a constructed landscape or an imagined industrial horizon.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work balances geometric abstraction with expressive, tactile mark-making. The composition feels carefully considered yet spontaneous, combining the structural confidence of post-war abstraction with the physicality of gestural painting. Areas of exposed underpainting and irregular edges lend the work an authentic sense of process, revealing the artist’s intuitive approach to building the surface.

The restrained palette of soft greys, charcoal black and creamy white is punctuated by electric cobalt blue and earthy browns, creating a compelling dialogue between cool and warm tones. These carefully placed accents energise the composition without overwhelming its quiet sophistication.

The paint surface is richly textured, with thick impasto passages applied confidently using a palette knife or broad brush. Heavy ridges of paint, scraped-back layers and expressive drips create remarkable depth, while looping linear gestures on the right-hand side introduce a lively counterpoint to the otherwise solid forms. The resulting surface is highly tactile, celebrating the materiality of paint as much as colour and composition.

This oil on board is presented in a silver frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are scuffs to the frame and marks visible to the pale sections of the frame. There is a small area of wear to the top section of the frame.

Where the Palms Sway
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modern townscape that captures the warmth and simplicity of a Mediterranean village through a wonderfully stylised composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Whitewashed buildings with terracotta roofs cluster together while a lone palm tree and broad-leafed plants frame the quiet street, evoking the relaxed atmosphere of a coastal settlement bathed in southern light.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist reduces architecture and landscape into bold geometric forms and flattened planes of colour. Perspective is intentionally simplified, allowing the rhythmic arrangement of rooftops, walls and pathways to create a harmonious sense of balance rather than strict realism. The composition possesses a naïve elegance, where everyday architecture is transformed into an expressive study of shape, light and colour.

The palette is both vibrant and restrained, pairing rich burnt orange roofs with soft creams, pale sage greens, muted blues and warm greys. A dramatic slate-blue sky provides striking contrast, enhancing the luminosity of the village while deep charcoal shadows add depth and definition. Bright green foliage introduces lively accents that guide the eye through the composition.

Confident, deliberate brushstrokes reinforce the painting’s modern character. Areas of flat, opaque colour are punctuated by visible directional strokes that lend texture and movement without overwhelming the clean geometry of the scene.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm honey finish and that features a stepped, multi-profile design. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The composition distils the essence of a landscape into a harmonious arrangement of geometric forms and expressive gestures. Suggestive silhouettes of harbourside buildings and rolling headlands stretch across a broad horizon, while sweeping black marks evoke the movement of seabirds or drifting clouds overhead. Rather than depicting a specific place, the artist captures the memory and atmosphere of a landscape through abstraction.

Rendered in a beautifully restrained palette of warm greys, taupe and charcoal, the composition is enlivened by carefully placed accents of cobalt blue, burnt sienna, ochre, soft sage and pale lemon. These vibrant passages punctuate the muted tones, lending the work a quiet sense of rhythm and vitality without disturbing its overall serenity.

Confident, deliberate brushwork characterises the painting throughout. Crisp, flat planes of colour are balanced by spontaneous gestural strokes, textured impasto passages and exposed painterly marks that reveal the artist’s process. The interplay between controlled geometry and expressive abstraction creates a composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

This oil on board is presented in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs mainly at the inner section.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully restrained mid-century interior still life depicting a simple table illuminated by soft natural light, with a solitary white vessel and dish arranged against a backdrop of windows and architectural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

Rather than focusing on narrative, the artist celebrates the quiet poetry of everyday objects, transforming an ordinary domestic scene into a contemplative study of light, balance and atmosphere.

Painted in a modernist style, the composition is carefully constructed through bold geometric shapes and strong verticals, creating an elegant sense of structure while maintaining an understated intimacy. The pared-back arrangement and generous negative space evoke a calm, almost meditative mood, allowing the subtle relationships between form, light and shadow to take centre stage.

The palette is sophisticated and subdued, combining cool shades of slate grey, charcoal, ivory, muted turquoise and deep blue with delicate touches of warm cream. These restrained colours harmonise beautifully, while enhancing its tranquil, light-filled atmosphere.

Confident, expressive brushwork brings the surface to life. Broad, textured strokes define the architectural planes, while layers of thickly applied paint create subtle variations across the walls, table and window shutters. The loose handling softens the geometry just enough to preserve a sense of warmth and spontaneity, resulting in a work that feels both thoughtfully composed and effortlessly painterly.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant silver-toned wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays minor age-related wear, including a tiny area of wood loss to the top left corner, consistent with its age.

En Route My Love

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very captivating and richly toned original painting by British artist Frances Daws.

Inspired by the quiet familiarity of travelling the same country roads time and time again, Frances distils the landscape into memory rather than reality. Instead of capturing every field and hedgerow, she paints the essence of a place as it lingers in the mind.

A deliberately muted palette of deep greens, earthy reds and soft pinks creates a gentle rhythm across the canvas, while subtle glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath our own recollections. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and elusive. Less a specific view, and more the feeling of passing through the countryside, where memories blur into one another with every journey.

The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

Fleeting Glances
£640
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and richly coloured original painting by British artist Frances Daws.

In this expressive landscape, Frances Daws explores not the countryside as it appears, but as it is remembered after countless journeys along the same familiar roads. Shapes dissolve into broad, confident brushstrokes, while a restrained palette of deep greens, warm ochres and soft pinks allows shifts in tone to take centre stage.

The landscape feels as though it is constantly moving. Glimpsed from a car window, recalled later in fragments, and reassembled through memory rather than observation. Areas of exposed underpainting peek through the composition, lending a sense of depth and cohesion while reminding us that, much like our own recollections, every landscape is built layer by layer. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and wonderfully familiar, inviting the viewer to fill in the details with memories of journeys of their own

The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

From Lacock to Bath
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive and vividly coloured painting by British artist Frances Daws.

“From Lacock to Bath” captures the fleeting impressions gathered along one of the West Country’s most familiar routes. Rather than documenting a particular view, Frances paints the landscape as it settles in the memory after repeated journeys, rolling hills reduced to confident, flowing shapes and a carefully restrained palette of deep greens, rich earth tones and soft pinks. The subtle contrasts in tone create depth without relying on fine detail, while glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath the surface.

The result is a landscape that feels both unmistakably rural and beautifully universal, inviting us to recognise not a place, but the familiarity of a journey we’ve taken many times before.

This painting on canvas board is beautifully presented in a in white St Ives style frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Old English Game Fowl in White
£330
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and engaging animal composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

This painting depicts a stylized game bird, standing in profile with a strong and elegant stance. The bird’s plumage is rendered in warm earthy tones, including shades of cream, rust red, and deep brown, creating a visually striking contrast. Its head is sharply defined, with a black beak, a red eye patch, and a piercing gaze that gives it a sense of alertness.

The bird’s legs and talons are bright yellow and its tail feathers are elegantly fanned out in a light cream colour, adding a delicate touch to its otherwise bold appearance.

The background is minimalistic and textured, with a soft, muted beige sky fading into a dark, earthy brown ground, keeping the focus on the central figure.

The artwork is framed in a rustic black wooden frame, which complements the bird’s features and enhances its traditional, handcrafted feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Stylised Fruit
£640
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An elegant 20th century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1986.

Two stylised green fruit rest upon a pale tabletop, their simplified geometric shapes illuminated by strong directional light that casts long, angular shadows across the composition. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist celebrates the quiet beauty of ordinary objects through carefully considered planes of colour and an understated sense of harmony.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the painting embraces minimalism and geometric abstraction. The fruit are reduced to faceted forms, while the surrounding space is constructed from broad intersecting planes that create depth through subtle shifts in tone. The restrained composition evoke a sense of calm, allowing light and shadow to become as important as the objects themselves.

The palette is soft and sophisticated, dominated by cool aqua and turquoise blues that contrast beautifully with muted sage, olive, and pale green tones. Gentle greys provide balance, while small accents of dark charcoal and earthy brown in the stems and leaves introduce subtle definition.

The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, opaque applications of paint that reinforce the crisp quality of the composition. Clean edges and carefully defined colour fields create an architectural precision.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a silver grey wood-grain finish. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some scuffs to the inner area of the frame.

The Family Sitting Room
£450
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A charming mid-century interior that captures the warmth and familiarity of a well-loved family sitting room, executed in oil onto board and dated 1941.

A glowing brick fireplace forms the heart of the composition, surrounded by polished copper cookware displayed proudly on the walls. A grandfather clock, a rocking chair with a striped cloth, woven rugs and green curtained windows complete the inviting domestic scene, creating a portrait of everyday life filled with comfort and tradition.

Painted in a restrained modernist style, the composition balances careful perspective with simplified forms and clean geometry. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist emphasises the harmony between furniture, architecture and decorative objects, producing an interior that feels both intimate and thoughtfully composed.

A warm palette of terracotta, honeyed browns, soft creams and rich walnut browns is contrasted with muted greens, slate blues and charcoal accents. The glowing copper pans and flickering fire introduce gentle highlights that animate the otherwise calm, earthy interior.

The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint defining the architectural forms and furnishings. Subtle visible brushstrokes soften surfaces and add warmth without becoming overly expressive.

This oil on board is presented in complementary wood frame with a softly aged cream finish, accented by delicate gilt detailing along the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and paint wear, consistent with age and use.
