    A warm and nostalgic figurative composition depicting a lively market scene, painted in oil onto board, framed and ready to hang.

    The loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold yet slightly muted colours give it an impressionistic feel. The figures appear in mid-conversation or activity, creating a sense of movement and casual everyday life.

The background shows fragmented architecture, sunlight, and possibly docks or sails, all rendered in a painterly, almost abstract way.

    The Tram

    £625

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet very striking modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a bustling scene in a city with a tram and some figures strolling in the foreground, and a building motif situated in the background of the painting.

    The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the tram, building and figures with a thin black outline, and the painting has a sketch-like quality. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

  • Cup Collective

    Cup Collective

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemporary still life painting that presents a playful arrangement of cups, each uniquely patterned and simplified into bold, graphic silhouettes, painted by British artist Annemarie Derrick in 2025.

    The composition features eight cups and mugs, neatly arranged in a grid, their individuality revealed through distinct decorative motifs – spots, stripes, florals, and sunburst designs.

    The style is characteristically contemporary with a nod to mid-century design sensibilities, balancing minimalism with whimsy. Executed in a muted palette of greys, creams, and whites, the work is enriched by subtle terracotta accents along the handles and outlines, lending warmth to the restrained tones. The background is painted in a flat, earthy grey that allows the cups to stand forward with quiet presence.

    The brushwork is confidently loose and textural, with visible strokes that add depth and tactility to the surface while retaining an intentionally naïve, hand-drawn charm. The simplicity of form and repetition creates a sense of rhythm and order, while the variety of decoration introduces individuality and delight.

    This painting is on cradled wooden panel and is presented in a white wooden floating frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Interaction

    Interaction

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant geometric abstract composition that explores form and interaction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting features a dynamic arrangement of amoebic shapes in overlapping layers. The subject matter is intentionally non-representational, evoking the energy of human presence or social exchange through softened silhouettes that seem to drift, merge, or dance within a flat pictorial space.

    Rendered in bold blocks of solid colour – striking red and orange, yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum – the forms float atop a simplified two-tone background of blue and green, suggestive of sky and earth. The palette is both playful and intentional, using contrast to create visual depth without shadows or gradients.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and minimally textured, allowing the flatness and precision of each colour field to hold compositional tension. The overall effect is a harmonious yet enigmatic piece that invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between shape, space, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks (as pictured).

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A 2025 contemporary acrylic painting by British artist Annemarie Derrick that presents four stylised cups rendered with playful simplicity in the naïve style.

    Positioned against a pale white background, the cups are each depicted with distinctive patterns and shapes, and are outlined with fine, deliberate lines, emphasising their graphic qualities. Subtle motifs – a scalloped edge, vertical striations, circular accents, and a bold sunburst – lend individuality and rhythm to the composition.

    Executed in a restrained palette of muted greys, whites, and soft earthy outlines, the work embraces simplicity while highlighting form and design. The brushstrokes are confident yet textured, leaving slight variations on the surface that lend a tactile quality. The artist’s approach is both modern and whimsical, distilling everyday objects into symbols of quiet domesticity and charm.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking contemporary still life painting that transforms the simplicity of everyday objects into an elegant study of form and balance, by British artist Annemarie Derrick and painted in 2025. 

    A tall jug, a short cup, a chalice-like cup with a simple sun motif, and a spoon are rendered with clarity and restraint against a muted, structured backdrop.

    Rendered in a naïve style, the painting captures stillness and poise. The restrained palette of soft greys, creams, and earthy neutrals brings a timeless quality, while the fine black outlines and deliberate brushwork lend both clarity and texture. The acrylic surface carries a tactile richness, with subtle variations in tone and brushstroke adding depth to the otherwise minimal arrangement.

  • Winter Valley

    Winter Valley

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century modernist landscape that captures a quiet riverside valley, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition is dominated by angular mountains in deep forest greens and dark charcoals, their rugged forms rendered with bold, expressive brushwork. A wide, silvery river cuts across the middle ground, its surface marked by thick, horizontal strokes of slate grey and muted blue, suggesting the shimmer of icy water. In the foreground, simplified geometric shapes hint at houses or cabins along the riverbank, grounding the scene in human presence.

    The palette is restrained yet powerful, with cool greys, steely blues, and earthy greens accented by subtle touches of brown and white. The brushstrokes are vigorous and layered, applied with visible energy that conveys both the weight of the mountains and the restless flow of water. The overall style leans toward abstraction while maintaining the essence of the natural scene, reflecting the modernist drive to distil nature into form, colour, and movement.

    At the center stands a tall black pitcher with a sweeping handle, its form accentuated by patches of turquoise, white, and yellow that lend vibrancy and depth. In the foreground, two deep red onions and a bulb of garlic anchor the composition, their rounded shapes contrasting with the pitcher’s angular silhouette.

    The artist has used a highly textured technique, layering thick strokes of oil paint that leave visible ridges across the surface. The palette is restrained yet powerful, dominated by black, grey, and white, with strategic bursts of colour to enliven the scene. The brushwork is vigorous and gestural, giving the objects a tactile, almost sculptural presence while retaining a sense of spontaneity and abstraction.

    Mediterranean Rooftops

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting that captures the sunlit charm of a coastal Mediterranean village, where whitewashed houses rise in layered planes against the calm backdrop of the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The subject matter focuses on architectural forms – flat rooftops, arched facades, and shaded recesses – simplified into interlocking blocks of light and shadow. A few dark accents of trees break the uniformity of white, grounding the composition with contrast.

    Painted in a modernist style, the work emphasizes structure and atmosphere over detail, with an almost abstract quality to the geometry of the buildings. The palette is restrained, dominated by soft whites, pale greys, and cool sky blues, punctuated by deep green-blacks that suggest foliage.

    The brushstrokes are broad, fluid, and confident, applied in sweeping motions that suggest light glancing across plaster walls. Layers of paint overlap loosely, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, while still retaining a balance of form and rhythm. The overall effect is serene yet dynamic – an evocative study of place through shape, tone, and atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. There is a small indentation to the canvas on the top half, otherwise the painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid-century painting that presents a serene harbour scene with moored boats set against softly shifting reflections of water and sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    The artist has abstracted the forms of vessels and docks into interlocking geometric planes, capturing the essence of the harbour through suggestion rather than detail.

    Executed in a restrained yet harmonious palette, the work features muted ochres, warm browns, dusty blues, and gentle greens, punctuated by touches of rust-red along the hulls. The brushstrokes are broad and confident, laid down in flat, layered planes that create a rhythmic balance between solidity and fluidity. This compositional approach emphasises structure and form, while the softened edges convey an atmosphere of calm observation.

    In true mid-century style, the painting has reduced naturalistic detail in favour of tonal harmonies and simplified shapes, evoking both modernist abstraction and lyrical impression.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain and an inner gilt and cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A soothing modernist painting that depicts a stylised horizon where three houses rest quietly in the distance, painted in oil onto board and dated 1970.

    The scene is reduced to bold horizontal bands of colour, evoking the sweep of open fields, sky, and distant land. The houses appear as simplified, block-like forms  – dark silhouettes accented with white and red – standing in quiet contrast against the rich layers of the landscape.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work emphasises abstraction and rhythm over detail, distilling the essence of farmland into pure forms.

    The brushwork is measured and horizontal, with deliberate layering that builds subtle depth while maintaining a calm and minimalist aesthetic. The simplicity of line and form imbues the painting with a contemplative, timeless quality.

  • Cubist Interior with Chair

    Cubist Interior with Chair

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents an abstracted interior scene rendered in a cubist style, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The composition is built from interlocking geometric blocks of colour, suggesting architectural forms, furniture, and a seated figure to the right. The artist breaks the interior down into a rhythmic arrangement of rectangles and planes, creating a layered sense of depth while preserving a flattened, modernist aesthetic.

    The palette is dominated by muted mauves, greys, and blacks, enlivened with striking accents of cobalt blue and deep crimson. These colours are applied in confident, opaque blocks, their edges sometimes softened by visible brushstrokes that reveal the artist’s hand. The brushwork is assertive, giving the impression of both structure and spontaneity.

    Hints of a chair, a table, and a figure are discernible but dissolve into abstraction, leaving the viewer to navigate between representation and geometry. This work reflects the mid-century embrace of cubist abstraction, balancing formal rigour with expressive colour.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as well as losses as shown in the photos.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed coastal composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, the water shimmers in shades of turquoise, blue, and green, touched with subtle reflections of light and colour. A tall, thin red navigation marker rises from the water, its reflection stretching below, providing a striking focal point against the cool palette.

    In the distance, a line of sailboats and small vessels rests calmly on the water, their masts pointing upwards and adding rhythm to the horizon. Behind them, lush, rolling green hills dominate the backdrop, with scattered white cottages nestled among the trees, suggesting a peaceful village setting. The sky is painted in muted pastel tones, capturing a soft morning or evening light, which enhances the calm and contemplative mood of the scene.

    A mid-century painting that presents a semi-abstracted urban scene with houses, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Angular rooftops in bold terracotta tones dominate the composition, intersecting with planes of pale green, lavender, and cream. A suggestion of a tree in soft green stands alongside the houses, its form simplified into blocky, geometric shapes. The sun, a muted pink disc, hovers subtly in the background, adding a sense of atmosphere.

    The palette balances warm hues with muted pastels, giving the work both vibrancy and restraint. The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, with areas where the paint has been applied more thickly, creating surface depth and variation. The overall effect is a harmonious interplay of abstraction and representation, where familiar architectural forms are distilled into their essential planes of colour and shape.

    The composition featuring cottages nestled among tall, leafy trees. A pathway curves along the water’s edge, leading the viewer’s eye toward the cluster of houses – one painted in a soft blue and others in bold reds.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A warm and inviting mid-century painting that captures a quiet charm of an interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1964.

    The scene is centred around a wooden writing desk topped with a pitcher of fresh blue blossoms. A simple wooden chair sits before it, while a delicate armchair with intricate circular patterns is placed to the left. On the wall, framed artworks, a glowing table lamp, and a glimpse of a mirror or window reflecting a vase of pink flowers create layers of visual interest. The arrangement captures a lived-in, thoughtful space, quietly animated by the presence of everyday objects.

    The palette is muted yet very balanced. The brushwork is loose and painterly, applied in visible, layered strokes that build texture and rhythm. Broad, confident applications of paint define surfaces, while smaller, more delicate strokes capture details such as the wicker chair pattern and the clustered petals of the flowers.

    A striking painting that presents a lively outdoor dining scene interpreted through a playful Cubist lens, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1986.

    Fragmented figures and objects – plates, cutlery, food, and bottles -are reassembled into a bold, geometric composition. Faces, limbs, and tableware overlap in dynamic angles, giving the impression of multiple perspectives unfolding simultaneously.

    The palette is vibrant and saturated. Sharp contrasts of colour planes create rhythm and movement across the canvas, while the artist uses flat, angular brushstrokes to emphasise form over realism.

To the side, a smaller plate of bright green grapes adds freshness to the composition, while a pair of vibrant pink carnations in a glass tumbler bring a delicate touch of nature.

    A vivid and vibrant semi-abstract still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    This vibrant still life painting bursts with energy, colour, and texture. Executed in thick, expressive strokes of oil paint, it depicts a lively arrangement of fruit—a watermelon, pears, and an apple—set around a bold white jug or vessel.

    The palette is dominated by fiery oranges and reds, offset by cool greens, blues, and earthy neutrals, creating a striking visual rhythm. The artist uses impasto technique, layering paint thickly so that the surface itself becomes dynamic and tactile, almost sculptural.

    Forms are loosely defined and semi-abstract, with bold black outlines and simplified shapes that emphasise movement over realism. The objects tilt and overlap in a way that feels playful and spontaneous, reflecting the modernist influence of mid-20th-century European still life painting.

    The overall effect is joyful, bold, and full of life—a painting that doesn’t just capture objects but transforms them into a celebration of colour and form. Its golden frame heightens the sense of richness and drama, making it a striking statement piece for any interior.

    An expressive and wonderfully textured mid-century still life composition that presents a simple yet compelling arrangement of everyday kitchen objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

Behind it rises a blue bottle topped with a stark black dispenser, its vertical form contrasting the rounded bulk of the kettle. In the foreground, a small stove burner anchors the composition, rendered in deep greys and blacks.

    The artist has used a confident impasto technique, laying down thick, textured strokes of oil paint that emphasise form and surface over fine detail.

  • Afternoon Lesson

    Afternoon Lesson

    £615

    Available

    Free UK Shipping only.

    A large and outstanding mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The painting captures a tender moment between two figures, likely an adult and a child, engaged in a shared activity – perhaps reading – on a pale yellow surface held between them. The figures are rendered with bold black contour lines and simplified geometric forms, evoking a quiet intimacy and emotional restraint characteristic of modernist abstraction.

    The palette is soft yet expressive, with cool mint green and powder blue balanced against pale yellow, white, and black. Textural brushwork adds depth, especially in the background and garment areas, where layers of impasto reveal the artist’s hand. The faceless figures and stylized forms invite universal interpretation, evoking themes of mentorship, learning, and companionship without prescribing a specific narrative.

    Executed with a controlled yet expressive brush, this work speaks to the elegance of restraint – where every shape and colour block carries emotional weight.

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

    The dog stands in a profile pose on a simple green hillside, with a muted grey sky and soft white clouds drifting overhead. Its long, silky coat is rendered in warm brown and creamy white, with carefully painted details in the fur that give it texture and character.

    The spaniel wears a red collar with a gold buckle, adding a touch of brightness and personality to the composition. The dog’s wide, round eyes and symmetrical face create an endearing, almost human-like expression—both attentive and gentle.

    This oil on board is housed in a dark brown frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • Nordic Table Setting

    Nordic Table Setting

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A finely detailed 20th century large watercolour still life that captures a traditional Nordic feast laid out with precision and care, and dated 1918.

    At the centre of the composition is a generous cut of cured ham, its rich brown crust and creamy interior rendered with remarkable realism. Surrounding it are slices of rye crispbread, cold cuts, some cheese, and neatly folded napkins on delicate blue-and-white porcelain. A platter of fresh fruit  – apples, pears, and citrus – rises elegantly in a pedestal dish, while a curling sausage rests on a plate nearby. A floral arrangement in muted greens and browns adds an organic vertical balance to the arrangement, set against a soft teal curtain with an ornamental pattern.

    The style is naturalistic and quietly formal, with a focus on precision, order, and calm. The artist’s palette leans toward cool tones – icy blues, soft greys, and earthy greens – offset by warm browns and flesh tones in the food. The brushwork is delicate and controlled, with smooth washes and crisp lines characteristic of high mastery in watercolour technique.

    Textures are rendered with great sensitivity – from the porous bread to the glossy porcelain and leafy greens – imbuing the everyday subject matter with a sense of quiet reverence.

    This watercolour on paper  is housed in a complementary wood frame, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). Both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Quiet Street Corner

    Quiet Street Corner

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street corner, where a row of low, yellow facades with shopfront windows are nestled beneath steep red-brown rooftops, executed in oil onto board and dated 1969.

    Behind them, tall apartment blocks rise in muted yellow and cream, their flat walls punctuated by chimneys and rooflines silhouetted against a pale blue sky. The streets are empty, save for a lone streetlamp and utility box, lending the scene a still, almost cinematic quality.

    The style blends modernist simplification with a touch of naïve precision, reducing architectural forms to bold, geometric planes while retaining enough detail to suggest texture and age. Colours are earthy and atmospheric -browns, and muted yellows dominate, contrasted by the cool grey of the street and the soft blue above. The brushwork is deliberate and smooth in the larger planes, while finer strokes animate the rooftops and wall textures, giving the surfaces a gently worn, lived-in feel.

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

    Size: 55 x 64 cm (including frame)

    Terrier

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very endearing canine composition of a terrier dog , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The dog is painted in warm cream tones with distinct chestnut-brown patches on its body and around one eye, giving it a lively and characterful appearance. A red collar with a gold buckle provides a bold, cheerful accent that contrasts beautifully against the more muted background.

    The setting is minimal yet effective: rolling yellow hills stretch across the middle ground, while a soft grey sky looms above, dotted with stylised clouds and a small flock of black birds flying in formation. The ground beneath the terrier is painted in earthy browns, anchoring the composition.

    The overall effect is whimsical yet dignified—the terrier looks alert and self-assured, embodying the loyalty and confidence of the breed. The restrained palette and simple forms give the painting a timeless charm, while the details—the curled tail, the steady gaze—imbue it with personality.

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

  • Vessels & Sculpture

    Vessels & Sculpture

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century still life that presents a striking composition of dark-toned vessels arranged upon a patterned textile, with a sculptural abstract form set against a deep plum backdrop, executed in oil onto canvas.

    At the forefront, a tall, slender vase and a rounded jug with a curving spout anchor the scene, their reflective surfaces rendered in moody blacks and greys. A geometric rug in red, blue, and white injects rhythm and contrast, its bold lines echoing the angular presence of the white sculptural form behind.

    Executed in oil, the painting reflects a restrained yet expressive mid-century sensibility. The palette is rich but muted – dominated by deep reds, greys, blacks, and earthy neutrals – balanced by the vibrant textile. The brushwork is confident, with layered textures that build form and volume while leaving visible the artist’s hand.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide wood frame finished in tones of soft grey with brown accents along the edges. The painting displays some craquelure, though the paint layer remains stable overall. There is a very small area of paint loss to the upper half of the picture, as shown in the close up photo. The frame shows some scuffs consistent with age as well.

  • Hillside Path

    Hillside Path

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that presents a bold and simplified view of a vast landscape scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through green and golden fields toward a body of deep blue water, flanked by steep, rounded hills in earthy browns and muted purples. A dense green shrub anchors the foreground, providing contrast against the golden fields and the cool expanse of water beyond.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with flattened planes of colour and an emphasis on form over detail. The artist has reduced the landscape into strong, geometric shapes, capturing the essence of the scene with clarity and economy.

    The palette is rich yet subdued. Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and deliberate, applied in smooth layers that enhance the sense of structure and solidity in the composition. The result is a landscape that feels both stylised and timeless, evoking a sense of journey and distance within its simplified, harmonious design.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a warm brown finish that subtly echoes the earthy tones within the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs. 

    Size: 54 x 70 cm (including frame)

    A playful and edgy one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

    This artworks is a two layered monoprint which creates new lines and curves through the simple layering. This allows each shape to emphasise its own individuality.

    Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

    It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

    Size:  61 x 44 cm (including frame)

    A fun and edgy large one-off original monoprint presented in a coloured frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

    This monoprint is created from two individual stencils on different ghost print monoprint plates in two separate colours (a ghost print is when the plate has already gone through the press). Whilst the different layers are already in different shapes, there are additional dialogues between the different components because of the different shapes that appear within the main shapes as a result of the ghost print.

    Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

    This print, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations.

    This monoprint is housed in a vivid blue frame that further enhances the artwork within. It is protected behind a layer of perspex. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.
