  • Sandy Bay

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very restful mid century modernist oil coastalscape composition, painted onto canvas.

    A soft palette is combined with punches of darker more vivid colour, applied in broad, expressive brushstrokes that capture the atmosphere of the coastal scape perfectly. 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.

    Size: 67 x 100 cm (including frame)

  • The Group

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist semi-abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Here we see a group of figures gathered together, seemingly in conversation. The artist has left out all realistic details, abstracting the figures down into a series of coloured shapes and patters, all set against a background of vivid yellow.

    This large painting would certainly make a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some surface marks to the linen border on the frame, as shown.

  • Nightfall

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Upon first glance, our eyes are drawn to the darker and moody shades on the bottom half of the painting, and it then moves to the lighter muted shades on the top. As we take time to study its form, we can just about discern a house peeking out above a hilly landscape, as nightfall sets.

    Expressive, painterly and unrestrained brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist has added a wonderful textural element to focus our attention on the dramatic composition.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with several contrasting windows, efficiently drawing our attention inward towards the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Quirk

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quirky mid century modernist still life oil composition, painted onto board in 1964.

    This still life features odd angles and skewed perspective, asking us to look and look again. The composition carries many little playful details that are fun to explore and discover. Everything about its layout is somewhat stilted and skewed, for example the table sits at an angle where technically everything should slide off it, and the table is not quite rectangular. The shadows of the objects don’t quite fit either. The floor boards that sit below the table are in a different colour at every section, representing the way the light hits the floor differently. The top edge of the window sits at an angle that is not in line with the curtain rod above. Very interestingly, out the window we see a wall that has a arched shape exit where we can see the view of the seascape beyond. There are more details to discover, but all in all this surreal still life carries so many interesting features that are a delight.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a winner linen lined  border.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Siesta

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and powerful mid century modernist oil composition, painted on board.

    This painting is very striking – large flat planes of colour fit together to create this composition of two seated figures on a coastline, with boats and buildings in the distance. The artist has left out all realistic details, focusing instead on the formal qualities such as shape, form and colour.  The shapes are all very much rounded, creating a general softness to the piece that makes it very appealing to look at it.

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

  • The Open Door

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and very well executed mid century modernist interior composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Flat planes of colour in a myriad of angles create this very distinctly modernist interior. The traditional method of using perspective to create depth has been intentionally ignored, with the artist focusing instead on using complementary colours and geometric shapes to create a sense of space. The artist has very interestingly concentrated these formal qualities on the surfaces of the interior and its background, but has painted the objects portrayed within the interior in a much more detailed manner. The vase of flowers on the table with the bottles as well a the chair carry a different and more detailed style, which contrasts very well with the more angular shapes of the floor, walls and the view that continues outside.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame and with an inner linen lined border. The painting has some small areas of paint loss, as shown in close ups, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame has some losses to its edges, as shown.

    Size: 82 x 73 cm (including frame)

  • Dusk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    This moody, expressionist painting features an array of textured detailing, showing off the artist’s mastery of the medium.  Notwithstanding the dark and deep colour palette, the artist has skilfully created several layers of blended colour that give the painting an illumination from within that was hard to capture in the photos and is much more pertinent in real life. There is a glow from the painting that suggests that the scene is of sunset, just before the landscape loses its light completely. We love the little details such as the textured dots of pink applied to the lower half of the composition, alluding to little flowers in the grassy meadow.

    This brilliant painting is housed in a gilt frame with green highlights around its outer edges. There are several inner windows, both linen lined and gilt. The painting and frame are both in very good condition. The linen section has some minor age toning, commensurate with age.

    A striking mid century black & white modernist portrait painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is housed in  its original mid century frame, which has borders in dark wood and a middle fabric lined section. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age toning to the fabric area, but overall is in good vintage condition.

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil in an expressionist manner.

    Dedicate light pastel shades of green, yellow, blue and grey have been used, imbuing the work with softness and calm.

    The artist displays his painterly skills – using expressive and sweeping brushstrokes to add a wonderful textural feel, as well as layering contrasting shades to demonstrate a sense of depth and expansiveness to the painting.

    The subtle colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.

    This oil on is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a thin white wooden frame. There are bits of wear to the corners of the frame, however this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Horses on the Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed mid century composition in oil, painted in 1949.

    In this picture, we see a a group of animals including a horse grazing on the meadow. Long, gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas with thick paint, creating a wonderfully textured effect.  The artists skilful and expressive brushwork blends the paint beautifully to create the three dimensional forms of the animals. It is clear that the artist has incorporated more than just the visual scene before him – we get a sense of the way the light hits the meadow, the slight wind in the air, the movement of the sky above and the blades of the grass below.

    This excellent painting is housed in a solid wood frame which adds to its ‘country’ appeal. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Houses in Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted onto jute canvas (also known as hessian or burlap) which has been laid down to board.

    The jute canvas on which the oil has been applied has an extra rough texture and a pronounced weave, imbuing the piece with a raw and unfinished quality that makes it very striking. The artist has intentionally incorporated the texture of the jute to its overall effect, even leaving the edges unpainted to allow it to show through. This is especially wonderful as it also gives us an insight into the artist’s process – we can feel every brush-drag, and view the base layers of paint he has used. Under the paint we are able to see the grid-like weave of the jute, as well as where the artist’s brush has skipped over its bumps, and the areas where layers of paint have built up on the high points of the weave.

    In addition to its raw quality, the painting has a luminosity that makes it very striking. Deep and rich colours have been set against the background of white, causing them to be even more pronounced. Bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes add a sense of dynamism, and geometric shapes layered one above the other give an unmistakable nod to the cubist movement.

    The painting is housed in a thin grey frame which suits it perfectly and adds to its modern effect. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some some paint marks to its edges but adds to its overall effect and certainly does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    A striking and energetic mid-century street scene, executed in oil onto canvas. 

    The composition depicts a stylishly dressed crowd entering the Theatre Mogador in Paris, as a performance is about to begin. 

    Leaning towards abstraction, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details and has reduced the forms down to contrasting colours.

    SOLD.

    A rich and dynamic mid century modernist abstract mixed media composition, painted onto board.

    Using a rich colour palette that consists primarily of shades of red as well as touches of green and orange, this abstract painting is composed of circular patterns. These circles of different sizes, appear to be enveloping outwards and it imbues the painting with a distinct energy, rhythm and movement.

    Thick layers of paint have been applied, and the painterly and expressive brushstrokes add a lovely textural quality to the work.

  • Chalk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet very effective mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted on to canvas.

  • Cottages on a Hill

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    There is a wonderful sense of tenderness to the picture – the artist has used fairly subdued colour palette in this composition, carefully painting in the cottages that sit on top of a hill. We love the contrast between the larger more expressive swathes of colour that he has used on the hill versus the little cottages that sit on top of it that are far more delicate and detailed. They sit to the right of picture, punctuating the composition perfectly and providing balance to the overall layout of the scene.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Dahlias

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very expressive mid century floral still life composition in oil, painted in 1941.

    Reminiscent of still lifes by the well known painter Vincent Van Gogh, this floral oil also features similar characteristics such as the vibrant contrasts of complementary colours, and short and swift expressive brushwork. In this picture, we see a bouquet of dahlias sitting in an aquamarine vase, and behind that sits a green leaved potted plant. On the bottom right, a small bowl punctuates and balances out the composition. Studying the painting up close, we can see how the artist has used criss-cross brushwork to create depth and three dimensionality, as well as capture the effects of light. There is a wonderful sense of movement and dynamism in the picture. and it would make a striking addition to an interior space.

    This large painting is housed in a robust light coloured frame that suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a loss to the top edge, as shown. It is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

  • Exterior (Very Large)

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Measuring over a metre in both width and length, this very large abstract oil composition would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting features large planes of colour, in a very calming palette of blue, grey, brown, white and black. As you study the painting closely, you begin to notice pops of colour within and amongst the sections, such as green, orange and red. The painting is incredibly textured, and features several areas of impasto (where the paint is applied so thickly it stands proud from the surface).  We get a sense of the artist’s movement as he or she works her way across the canvas, moving left and right and up and down. The blocks of colour have been applied in a very considered way, resulting in a very well balanced composition that is very pleasing on the eye.

    The painting is housed in a simple frame that suits its modern look. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The painting has some minor paint loss to the outer edges but these are very inconspicuous due to the style of the painting. The paint layer is very stable overall.

  • Seated Figure

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed oil portrait, painted onto canvas in 1966.

    Painted in an expressionist style, broad and painterly brushstrokes make up this striking composition of a seated figure. The artist has left out realistic details,  focusing instead on the shape, form and lines of the figure. He has captured the way the light falls on the figure, using an almost post-impressionist colour palette to depict the areas of shadow on light on the figure’s coat. The artist has left the background indistinct, but has used a palette that plays off the colours on the figure wonderfully. There is a very harmonious balance in the overall composition of this painting, making it a real pleasure to look at.

    The painting is housed in dark brown frame with a an inner linen lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition. Please note that the lighter looking areas in the photos are not to do with any issues in the painting, but due instead to glare from natural light when taking the photos.

  • Coastal Cliff

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and tranquil mid-century modernist coastal scape composition painted in 1957 and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this picturesque scene of cliffs by a coast, the artist has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details and has reconstructed this composition by reducing the forms down to coloured angular shapes with dark lines as well as painterly brushstrokes.

    Darker muted colours of green, yellow and blue that have been used to depict the cliffs with lush greenery dominate the right side of the painting, and lighter pastel shades of blues and beige depicting the water, sky and sand fill the left side of the painting. The combination of the muted and pastel shades add a very calming and soothing effect to the painting.

    This large painting is housed in a stunning frame with visible grain, and has an inner gilt as well as linen lining. There are 2 tiny spots of paint loss to the left side of the work, but overall, the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
