SOLD.
A fantastic modernist style portrait, painted in oil and dated 1964.
A nude figure is depicted standing on a muted pink platform and against a calming blue background. With her gaze slightly turned, she is back-facing the viewer and caught unaware.
The artist demonstrates a great aptitude for painting the female body, as he skillfully captures the curves and angles of the figure.
He has also used artistic techniques of shading and shadowing. These not only add the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality to the painting, but to direct our eyes as the viewer to the focal point of the work.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning grainy wood frame with a double silver window and an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

SOLD.
A large and confidently executed mid century semi abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
In this scene we see four main figures amongst a blur of people – the artist has left out realistic details, and focused instead on colour, form and texture. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.
The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

SOLD.
A simple but very intriguing modernist composition in oil, painted into canvas and dated 1970.
This expressionist painting has transformed what would normally be a mundane object (a chair) into a very striking vision. The empty chair is given pride of place in the forefront of the composition, painted in a bright yellow colour. Set against a whitewashed wall, this contrast again emphasises the chair and its striking yellow. There is also a very interesting juxtaposition between the decorative and regal looking door or window which is adorned with flowers and gilding, next to the simple and functional rustic chair.
This playful painting is set within a simple wood frame which suits it very well. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

SOLD.
A very confidently executed mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1964.
This distinctly expressionist piece is characterised by free, gestural brushwork, and the paint application is generous and highly textured. Each area of colour appears distinct but yet flows seamlessly into the next, creating this very harmonious composition. The painting has a lot of depth, with several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface.
Although its subject appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that the natural landscape is the source of inspiration.
The painting is housed in a very unique and textured grey frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

SOLD.
A lyrical and emotive mid 20th century still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas. The composition depicts an elegant display of a violin, a musical sheet, 2 fruits and glass objects placed atop a table.
Large broad diagonal brushstrokes fill the background and foreground of the canvas in an expressive and rhythmic manner – almost resembling the visual melody of the violin playing, as well as the artist’s passion for music.
A muted darker pastel palette comprising shades of purple, blue and pink have been used, imbuing the work with both a soft yet dramatic feel that is aligned to its melodic qualities.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, that complements the work very well. The frame has slight markings and scuffs, but this is very minor.

A calm and tranquil coastal scape composition, painted in oil onto board.
In this miniature painting, two sailboats with long masts are depicted at sea and near a coastline.
This work of art contains hints of abstract qualities as all realistic details have been omitted, and the artist has captured the seamless transition of the sky, sea and coast so beautifully. Gentle sweeping brushstrokes imbue the work with a soothing feel and the soft colours of blue, brown and grey interact with one another very harmoniously.
This painting is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scuffs commensurate with its age, and there is also a loss to the top left corner which isn’t visible from the front.

A homely and peaceful mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.
Set in front of the blue sea is a fishermen mending his boat. Flanked to his left and right are sheds that give the composition its structure.

A quiet, calming mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.
In this restful scene we see a rocky outcrop to the right, a rock stream down below, and greenery all around. Nestled between the greenery is a house, whose top half we can just see peeking out. The artist has used broad brushstrokes with areas of texture, giving this painting its sense of depth. The angular lines of the forms of the outcrop juxtapose wonderfully with a softer, more rounded forms of the greenery.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with several windows, efficiently drawing our attention inward towards the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing, typical for its age. Please note that there is some glare present in the close up photos, the colours are rich and not faded at all when viewed in person and not through a camera.

A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.
This painting emphasises the beauty of still life, where a group of everyday objects that are normally ignored are placed centre stage, forcing us to look and notice their shape, form and colour. Here the artist has juxtaposed contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space. The broad and expressive brushstrokes add an element of tactility to the painting as well. Overall, there is a wonderful luminous and diaphanous quality to the painting.

A semi abstract mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1943.
This unique portrait features an abstracted figure with his hands together, depicted in a painterly style. Loose and broad brushstrokes have been applied in several layers, created a wonderful depth, complexity and illumination to the painting. As we take the time to study the painting, the varying layers slowly reveal themselves, giving us an insight into the artist’s process.
Just as unique as the painting is the frame in which it is housed in. Set in a purple-blue frame with decorative indents evenly spaced around the frame, it adds a real element of interest to the painting and also complements the colour palette of the painting beautifully.
Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is some minor wear to the inner window of the frame but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.
This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.
What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.
The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An energetic and expressive mid-century oil on canvas depicting an abstract coastal landscape scene.
Simple yet effective in its composition, we see a scenic view of a coastal trail with hills in the background. The artist has simplified this scene down to planes of contrasting colours with thin blue outlines, and intentionally leaving areas of the canvas exposed. Through the use of vibrant colours and swift painterly brushstrokes, the artwork has a very uplifting quality to it.

A charming mid century modernist still life in oil dated 1949, painted onto canvas which has then been laid down to backing board.
The composition depicts a vase of flowers among some fruit and another vessel. The painting features deep and vivid colour, creating a lovely moody effect.

A beautifully ambient and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
To the foreground of the composition, a set of railway tracks create a sense of depth and lead our eyes inwards into the picture, where we are met by a set of shipping cranes. To the left of the composition we see a ship docked, and figures underneath the crane. The artist has used a restrained colour palette, focusing on an array of blues, greens and greys to create this wonderfully misty and moody scene. He has used blocks of colours and bold outlines to create the forms and shapes within the picture that give the picture its depth. We get a sense that it is early morning by the harbourside, before the fog has lifted.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning linen lined frame with an inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A rather charming mid century modernist portrait composition in oil.
Here the artist has paid full attention to the sitter – an expectant mother. The painting has a timeless quality to it – we are not given any context of place or time. Yet the paradox here is that we know this is capturing a very particular moment in time and a very particular scenario that is relatable to many. The artist has not included the sitter’s facial details, choosing instead to focus on her form, and the way the light hits her body and her dress.
This beautifully sentimental painting has a quiet strength to it, capturing a very special moment in time. It is housed in a lovely gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some areas which have been painted over, as seen in the close up photos.

A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid century oil, painted onto board.
A row of farmhouses lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above that pan out in to the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.
The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky which mimics the lightest greens of the fields.
There is a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life..
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame, that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of scuff on the frame.

A large and delightful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
This picturesque neighbourhood scene depicts a narrow street running through quaint and distinct red houses, set against a scenic landscape view of hills and mountains in the background. A little figure can be seen in the foreground of the painting, cycling through the village street.
The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness and frankness. There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. It’s ‘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.
