  • The Quarry

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed mid century modernist semi-abstract landscape composition, painted in 1951.

    This large oil abounds with depth and texture. Layers of rich pigments have been applied in an array of multidirectional brushstrokes. Each stroke stands out from the other, and yet together they combine to make a perfectly harmonious composition. The artist has painted the landscape in a distinctly expressive and painterly style, encouraging us to enjoy every brushstroke and the creamy layers that have been applied, while still capturing the essence of the rich natural landscape.

    The painting is housed in a deep profile champagne coloured wood frame, which brings out the colours in the painting perfectly and has an illuminating effect without being at all overbearing. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses around the edges, including an area to the lower edge which can be inspected in our close up photos.

  • Abstract Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century modernist semi abstract still life in oil, painted in 1955.

    Large and gestural sweeping brushstrokes contrast against thin, angular outlines in black. 2 bottles in the middle ground are discernible, alluding to the fact that the scene pictured before us is a still life of objects on a table. The artist employs some cubist elements too, flattening out the scene and incorporating multiple views to create this abstracted and fragmented scene.

    The painting is housed in a painted wood frame, with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Around the Fire

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A warm and embracing mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Falling under the umbrella of ‘genre painting’ or ‘narrative art’, this wonderful painting tells us a story. A group of people sit around a fire, watching a man in a hat play the guitar. Our view point places us (the viewer) very much a within the scene, as if we too are sitting in this circle, listening to the musician. In the forefront we see a couple with the man’s arm around his partner. The figures facing are painted in golden light, emitting the warm glow from the crackling fire in front of them.  The colours of the fire can also be seen again the musician’s hat, face and guitar.  The background is an cobalt blue, capturing the essence of the night sky.

    The painting is housed in a complementary silver frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Sold

This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

    The painting is housed in a dark grey tray frame which suits the style and palette of the painting very well. The painting has some slight losses to the outer edges (as shown in photos), but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Coastal Walk

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very restful 20th century modernist coastal scene, painted in oil onto canvas in 1987.

    The composition depicts a picturesque view of a coastline- with lush greenery on hill surrounded by a calm blue ocean.

    The painting demonstrates great depth and width – brought forth by multi-directional broad and painterly brushstrokes that sweep across the painting in an expressive manner, as well as the use of a tranquil colour palette that builds up from left to right, drawing our eyes across, with its richest colours to the right of the composition.

    This painting is housed in a dark brown frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has very minor areas of scuffing which do not at all detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Fishermen at Dawn

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed and distinctly mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto board.

    With cubist tendencies, the artist has fragmented the scene into a series of curved shapes and lines, almost as though we are looking at the scene through broken glass.  The structure of the nets that the fishermen are laying out continues into clothes of the men as well as the surrounding sea and sky. This modernist ethos focuses on formal qualities such as shape, line, form, colour and pattern. The recurring lines and patterns make it fun to spot particular details that could easily go unnoticed unless observed closely, such as  the birds in the sky as well as the boats to the left of the composition.

    The painting is housed in a lovely wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 65 x 87 (including frame)

This simple yet very effective composition would make a perfect resting spot for our eyes, and would suit a bedroom or living room area very well.

  • Quiet Evening

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A skilfully executed scenic road landscape composition, executed in oil in 1962.

    There is a charming contrast between the top and bottom half of the painting. In the background – we see lush forestry in the distance set against moody and darker tones.  On the other hand, the foreground of the painting has an array of colourful earthy shades and has more lively atmosphere.

    The artist has reduced and flattened down the road and surrounding landscape into blocks of contrasting colours to create a wonderful sense of depth and width to the painting.

  • South of France

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very pleasant and gentle mid century modernist abstract landscape composition of the South of France, executed in oil onto canvas, painted in 1952.

    This abstract landscape composition has been simplified down to coloured shapes in light and soft pastel colours including shades of oranges and greens. As we spend time to study the colours and play on geometric shapes, we can discern what appears to be trees and houses situated on a hilly landscape.

    The short and soft brushstrokes pair excellently with the subdued and dreamy colours, enriching the painting with a harmonious and gentle feel.

  • Still Life with Jugs

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small yet very striking mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In this well-executed and detailed work of art, there is a strong focus on colours, shapes and form.

    Using a muted earthy colour palette, the artist has thoughtfully used contrasting blocks of colours to illustrate two jugs set against a similarly-coloured background. The differing shades help to create a sense of space as well as make the three-dimensionality of the objects more pronounced.

    Fine and smooth brushstrokes have been used, and in addition to the stunning colours, there is a sense of warmth and gentleness instilled in the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a  mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. There are some marks and minor paint loss at the top of the painting (as it might have been reframed), however the work is in very good vintage condition overall. There are some very minor age spots to the frame.

  • The Farmer’s House

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century cubist composition of an interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas in 1956.

    In this painting, the artist has played with angles, shapes, patterns and colours. The space has been flattened, and perspective skewed. As a result, we have a very unique and intriguing composition before us, that allows us to look at the everyday objects within it in a very different way and notice things that would otherwise go unnoticed. This fragmented and abstracted image of an interior emphasis the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame that complements it well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing and elegant mid 20th century still life executed in oil, where a group of fruits including an apple, orange, 3 pears as well as a blue vase are depicted atop a green surface.

    A rich and lively palette including blues and greens have been used to paint the objects, as they sit against a beautiful peach backdrop filled with multiple undertones. The artist displays his painterly skills by using different hues of each shade and blending them well together to achieve a sense of three-dimensionality for each object.

    The painting has been well-executed in an expressionist manner –  with dynamic and detailed brushstrokes lending the artwork an impressive visual and vibrant appeal.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a well-suited light wood frame, and there is a very small area of surface paint loss to the the right edge of the frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and is in lined to its vintage feel.

  • Iris

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An absolutely lovely mid century floral composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    There is an element of intrigue when it comes to decoding this picture. Just entering the left side of the composition is the edge of the back of an artist’s stretched canvas, with the long stem of the iris flower in the middle, and then to the right we have what looks like a wooden beam at an angle. Is the canvas leaning against the wall? And the beam perhaps the edge of a window? Or is the artist actually facing a mirror, painting the reflection of what he sees, including the back of his canvas?

    The blue that the artist has used is deep and rich. It draws you in and goes perfectly with the wood and gilt frame. The artist has painted the iris flower delicately and intricately, capturing its sumptuous colours and its tall, stout stem.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has a very small area of paint loss to the bottom left section (as seen in close up photo). The frame has some scuffs to its lower edge. Overall the painting and frame is in good vintage condition.

    Sold

    Depicting a quiet town situated in the hills, the work has been executed in a semi-abstract manner through the use of visible and painterly multi-directional brushstrokes.

    There is a haunting beauty and a sense of melancholy in this painting –  mainly brought forth from the black tones that contrast strongly against the bold earthy shades.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a wood frame with a linen lining that has seen a loss to the bottom left corner (as shown  clearly in the photos).

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting has small specks of surface paint loss to the top left, which can be seen in the close up photo.

  • On the Metro

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and playful mid century  British modernist oil composition of several figures on the metro in Paris, painted onto artist’s board.

    The colourful composition has a fun, childlike quality to it that makes it  a joy to look at. Although seemingly simple and ‘naive’ at first glace, it is in fact a very well executed painting. The composition and use of colours is perfectly balanced, and very satisfying to look at. Despite the lack of realistic details or colouring, we very quickly understand what we’re looking at. The artist has captured an everyday scene of rush hour on the Metro, but has incorporated a wonderful expressionist style to the piece.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to its edges.

There is a lovely sense of movement and light – we can imagine the sound of the wind blowing through the light grass and sand, and soft sound of the waves hitting the shore of the bay. This painting would make such a lovely peaceful spot to rest one’s tired eyes on.

    The picture is housed in a linen lined frame with an inner gilt window that illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is some minor scuffing and age toning to frame, commensurate with age.

  • Walking By

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a soothing lighter coloured background, the composition of the painting is punctuated by a group of tall figures in bold and striking colours walking by.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures have been simplified and abstracted down to geometric shapes, painterly brushstrokes, and rich colours.

    Expressive gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist displays and an excellent use of colour. Although working with a limited palette including reds, yellow and orange, he has skilfully applied and layered lighter and darker hues of each colour to create a harmonious, lively and well-balanced painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is in stable condition overall.
