  • Don Quixote

    £625

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Seemingly a nod to the Spanish novel Don Quixote, this delightful mid century narrative oil painting features a host of animals, people and objects, executed in a Naïve style.

    The man on the horse to the bottom left, the house with the windmill, and the second man on the donkey (presumably), are perhaps all references to the first modern novel Don Quixote.

    Putting aside the references, the painting is inherently a delight to look at – with a myriad of details and flying animals to admire in a very lovely colour palette. It speaks of a freedom to paint whatever one chooses, in a style that relinquishes all constraint that comes with art created within the traditional system.

    It would make for a great statement piece, or even a playful piece for a child’s room.

    The painting is housed in a lovely gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    In this scenic view, a cottage nests in the middle of a lush forest surrounded by trees with autumnal coloured leaves. Loose and unrestrained brushstrokes fill the painting with swathes and dabs of rich colours, leaving a wonderful textural quality as well as an energetic feel to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wide-profiled grey and gilt frame with multiple windows, that really enhances the overall painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is light wear to the frame, commensurate with its age.

    Rooftops

    £290

    Available

    Free UK shipping.

    A large mid century oil on canvas, painted in a distinctly modernist style. The artist has painted a broad, panoramic view of the rooftops of a coastal town, with the view of the sea in the distance. Flat planes of colour in broad and distinct brushstrokes have been juxtaposed one next to the other, creating a sense of space and depth within the picture, leading our eyes from the foreground (the roofs) to the background (the sea). This has also created a geometric effect which gives the painting an element of abstraction.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which has a very wide profile. The inner section has been lined with a grey fabric. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Size: 67 x 77 cm  (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • The Island

    £465

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and highly textured mid-century abstract modernist composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This abstract composition blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture, with its three dimensional surface protruding from the board. A series grooves and and lines have been etched into the thickly painted surface, which features an array of thoughtfully arranged geometric shapes in rich and lively colours. The grooves and lines almost resemble threads, almost as though the surface has been embroidered. The artist has clearly pushed the medium to its limits, experimenting with several textural effects.

    Although abstract in nature, the artwork could perhaps resemble an island with areas of land, mountains and sea.

    With its focus on the beauty of colour, line, texture, brushstrokes, shapes and patterns, this intriguing and very energetic artwork would make for an excellent statement piece in any interior. Its punch of colour and sculptural qualities are a visual feast for the eyes.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary black frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Magpies

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fun and striking mid-century semi abstract modernist composition of magpies, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting depicts three magpies in nature, standing on a tree branch and surrounded by green leaves.

    Containing elements of cubism and abstraction, the artist has fragmented this composition down to shapes of contrasting colours and sizes using a rich and lively palette. Not only has he skilfully created an appearance of a stained glass window, but he has also created a sense of three-dimensionality in the way the respective colours are paired and  contrasted together.

    This painting is housed in a wood frame with an inner linen lined border. There is some slight wear to the paint surface on the artwork, but this is commensurate with age and does not detract from its overall attractiveness. There is a small loss to the lower left section of the frame, as shown in close ups.

  • Modernist Town

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very charming and well-executed modernist town scape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    The painting depicts a panoramic view of a town in Spain. Rows of houses in different height populate the painting, and we can spot towering buildings in the distance.

    Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist skilfully using flattened forms and blocks of contrasting colours to reconstruct this scene and to create depth and a sense of space.

    The charm and warmth of this town is reflected through the use of expressive and painterly brushstrokes, as well as warm and muted pastel shades. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some age toning and marks to its linen border, as shown. There is also slight paint wear to the the top left corner of the frame, as shown.

  • Off to the Market

    £730

    Available

    A remarkable modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The painting features a female figure wearing a red dress with a white apron wrapped around her waist, carrying a basket of goods on her head.

    The artwork is very unique, as it has been painted in an almost grid-like manner filled with different geometric shapes coming together like a puzzle.

    The artist has used a restrained palette comprising shades of red, black, white and brown, and there is a beautiful juxtaposition between her striking red dress against the black form behind her, that’s presumably a door.

    This painting is housed in a very well suited distressed white frame that really enhances the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Perception

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A visually striking and very confidentially executed mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Although the painting’s subject matter appears to be abstract in nature and with a strong focus on colour, brushstrokes and line, we can perhaps discern a portrait in the making.

    Broad and painterly brushstrokes have been very swiftly, adding dynamism to the piece. Th way that the artist has skilfully selected and layered the rich and saturated colours to form this composition and to add a textural feel is simply outstanding.

  • It Takes a Village

    £960

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto canvas by the established female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    In this vivid and richly coloured composition, we see a group of figures gathered together, with one figure holding a baby. Beneath them are baskets on the floor. The artist’s free and imaginative use of colour is evident, beautifully capturing the sense that the artists are standing out in the hot sun in colourful dress.  The background is a grid like composition painted in orange, red and sandy brown tones, evoking a sense of arid plains heated under the sun. There is a palpable sense of familiarity between the figures, as they gather together in casual conversation. Using a combination of bold black outlines and planes of juxtaposing colours, the artist has achieved great depth and complexity to the composition, while maintaining a sense of playfulness and freedom within her palette.

    The painting is beautifully housed in a lightly painted wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £465

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A wonderfully textured and expressive mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting is visually calming in appearance, as it is composed with a colour palette comprising various shades of grey as well as underlying darker shades of blue, black and brown.

    The artist has skilfully used the impasto technique – applying thick layers of paint to provide a textural dimension to the artwork. This thick accumulation of paint that lends a three-dimensional quality not only adds character to the piece, but a sense of dynamism too.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary grey frame with a silver lining, that pairs perfectly with the colours of painting. There are scattered areas of craquelure and paint loss across the artwork (particularly at the top) commensurate with its age.

  • Prep

    £500

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but very interesting composition of two figures in an interior, painted in oil onto board.

    We have not been able to quite put a finger on what the two figures are doing – they look like they could be drying out something, given the firewood in the picture, or perhaps they are weaving with a loom in front of the seated figure. A large bag of logs sits to the right of the picture, a pair of barrels can be seen to the left, and wooden beams run across the roof. The picture has a lovely homely feel, with an earthy palette of browns and greens. There is an array of detail, which makes it very interesting puzzle to try and work out. If anyone has a clear idea of what the scene is of, we’d be very grateful if you could drop us a message letting us know what you think it is and why!

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame which illuminates the picture wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

There is a distinct rawness to the painting – the artist has not hidden the strokes of the paint brush, or the background of the substrate he is working on, nor has he masked the way in which he has rendered the rocks and trees with his cross hatching technique.
