Figures in a Dream

Sold

SOLD

Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

SOLD

A fun and playful contemporary modernist style painting on wood, dated 2023.

With a focus on bold colours and shapes, this graphic composition features a variety of circles and semi circles arranged on a mustard yellow surface. Over these painted shapes, the artist has created further lines that cross and intersect over the shapes, adding to the textural effect. Further to this, the wooden panels are a combination of 2 separate two pieces that have been fitted together, adding a constructed sculptural element to the artwork.

Painted with emulsion and varnished, the panels are presented in a tray frame, appearing to ‘float’ within, giving the painting its modern feel. The painted panels and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 36 x 26.5 cm (including frame)

Sunlit Fields

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant and energetic mid-century landscape painting that captures a lush countryside scene with expressive brushstrokes and a rich palette, executed in oil onto canvas.

A road in the foreground leads the viewer’s eye toward rolling golden fields, contrasted by patches of deep green vegetation. The trees, painted with energetic and gestural strokes, lean slightly, suggesting movement in the wind. The sky, a mix of soft blues and whites, gives a sense of depth and openness.

The painting’s style is reminiscent of Fauvism and Post-Impressionism, characterised by its bold, non-naturalistic use of colour and dynamic, expressive application of paint. The colours are a striking combination of yellows, greens, and blues, creating a sense of warmth and natural beauty. The brushwork is loose and spontaneous, with visible, layered strokes that add texture and dimension to the composition.

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

Size: 53.5 x 61.5 cm (including frame)
