  • The Crossing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and beautifully textured mid century landscape with reindeer, painted in oil onto board.

    This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features thick, bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible). That being said, the artist has managed to strike a find balance between an emotional response and capturing the scene before him and how it looked. The combination of the texture and colouring of this painting makes it a stand out piece.

    The painting is also housed in an excellent castleton green frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some losses to the lower section of the inner white border of the frame that are only visible upon close inspection. These losses do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • The Lane

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very well executed modernist landscape in oil, painted in 1995.

    Simple in composition yet complex in execution, the artist has used large planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth and space in the picture. Layers of colour have been blended skilfully, giving the paintings its bright and luminous quality. The artist has chosen to focus on form, shape and line in this composition, bringing our attention to the way the different elements (the house, the trees, the field and the lane) play with each other and almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

    This very satisfying oil painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some light scuffing to the left side of the frame, as well as a small area of paint loss to the lower right corner of the frame (as seen in close up photo). Neither of these imperfections detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Autumn Day

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and earthy mid century landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Expressive, gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, with textured strokes creating areas of impasto that have been layered over smoother swathes of colour. A rich, autumnal palette has been used, and although no realistic details of the trees have been depicted, we get a palpable sense of the lushness of the forest. Through the use of contrasting colour the artist has skilfully conveyed a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the forested landscape.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones, and the frame illuminates the painting. Please note that some glare is present in the photographs.

    Size: 64 x 84 cm (including frame)

  • Beach Day

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An original mid century semi-abstract coastal composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has added an aggregate to the paint, giving the painting a very textured effect. In addition to this, he has used thick swirls of paint creating areas of impasto which add to the three dimensionality of the painting. The gestural strokes give the painting a sense of movement, capturing the physicality of the wind and waves of the seaside.

    Vivid colours fill the composition, from the orangey yellows of the sand, to the blues and whites of the ocean, as well as the the blueish greys of the sky. The artist has painted an outline of a figure to the left side of the composition, and has used a very interesting technique by making the figure almost translucent, as if he or she is almost at one with the seascape.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general wear and scuff, commensurate with age.

  • Beyond the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A luscious and striking semi-abstract mid century landscape in oil, painted in 1961 by well known Swedish artist Ivar Morsing.

    In this picture, deep, rich, vivid greens juxtapose beautifully against the yellows and creams of the foreground and sky.

    Though no realistic details are present, the artist skilfully conveys the forms of the landscape such that we are able to discern them. Thick swirls of green in a range of tones make up the forms of the trees, creating areas of impasto that add texture and three dimensionality to the painting. Morsing punctuates the composition with a light coloured building in the distance, giving our eyes a focal point as well as adding a distinct sense of depth that lead our eyes in and around the picture.

    There is a palpable ‘softness’ to the way Morsing has painted the landscape, which is distinctive of his style (to see other paintings by Morsing in our collection click here).

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame red undertones. The frame has some general wear and paint loss, commensurate with age.

    Summer Walk

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bright and very well executed mid century oil, painted in canvas.

    We see a female figure en verso, her form reduced to a series of thin outlines in black. Wide and sweeping brushstrokes in pastel colours have been applied – vertical strokes for the figure, and horizontal strokes in the background. This seemingly simple composition has in fact been very skilfully executed, with the contrasting shades of non realistic colour creating depth and a sense of space, light and shadow.

    The painting is housed in a thin frame, which gives it a contemporary edge. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Summer Window

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and well executed semi-abstract still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting features fauvist elements, such as the unusual juxtaposition of colours as well as the highly gestural application of paint.

    A bowl and a candelabra sit along a windowsill with 3 large window panes that look out onto a plant filled view as well as  a gate and street line. The artist has skilfully used his paint and colours sparingly, yet has managed to convey such an array of elements within his abstract and gestural strokes.

    There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which makes it such a unique statement piece.

    The painting is housed in a simple oak frame which complements it brilliantly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The wood frame has some minor scuffs.

  • White Winter

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A semi abstract mid century oil on canvas of a winter landscape, painted in 1957.

    In this painting the artist immediately draws our attention to the expansiveness of the snowy fields by dedicating two thirds of the composition to white, snow covered pasture. In the horizon was see a spread of farmhouses, whose scale is tiny compared to the vastness of the fields. There is a quietness and stillness to the painted scene, which has a very calming and restful effect.

    This oil on canvas has light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame with red undertones that that has light wear and minor scuffs, but in keeping with its overall look.

  • Winter Farm

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large picturesque and restful winter landscape composition in oil, painted in 1955.

    This mid century oil depicts a row of farmhouses in the centre of the composition, surrounded by snow covered land, and cloudy skies above. Gestural and textured brushstrokes fill the lower half of the picture, conveying the feel of fresh snow on the ground.  A three bar gate punctuates the right side of the picture, creating focus and direction for the viewer’s eye as well as a sense of balance to the overall image.

    The painting is beautifully framed in its original mid century wood frame, which features a protruding border in dark gilt. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general wear commensurate with age, but is very stable overall.

  • Alpine

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gorgeously expressive mid century landscape view in oil, painted in 1952 onto canvas.

    This painting succeeds wonderfully at bringing some of the outside in. The artist has used gestural, painterly brushstrokes to depict alpine trees standing tall with a blue sky beyond them.  The artist celebrates the medium of oil, using texture and movement to draw our attention to the physicality of the paint.

    This mid century piece would look wonderful in an interior space as a calming spot to rest one’s eyes on, reminding us of the cool and fresh air of the alpine forest.

    The painting is housed in a distressed off-white decorative frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some general wear but this is very much in keeping with its overall style.

  • Cedar

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and restful mid century oil landscape , painted onto board.

    A set of farmhouses sit within a large pastoral landscape with a wooded treeline in the distance, set under the golden light of the sun. The artist has captured a panoramic view of the landscape before him by dedicating a large proportion of the painted surface to the sky. The soft palette of cream and light blue set a wonderful contrast against the darker, earthier palette of the land below, where the artist has used rougher and more distinct brushstrokes to capture the effects of the elements on the pasture.

    The painting is housed within a simple thin gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting has a tiny area of surface paint loss (please refer to the close up photo) which is visible upon close inspection but does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Coastal Rocks

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and picturesque modernist style oil painting, presenting a coastal landscape composition of rock formation and greenery by the sea.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has simplified forms to down to distinct coloured shapes and expressive brushstrokes . The rich and lively earthy colours harmonise wonderfully together, and also demonstrate a sense of depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a lovely grainy light wood frame that complements the painting very well. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Father

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this very large mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a standing figure painted in a modernist style.

    Large planes and blocks of colour in a deep and rich palette have been applied to the canvas, with a distinct focus on the formal qualities of shape, form and colour. The artist has used angled lines and geometric shapes to compose the figure. He has left out realistic details, and has  abstracted the portrait he has painted. He celebrates the medium of oil, leaving visible the strokes of his large paint brush, as well as creating textured areas of impasto that contrast with the smoother planes of painted areas.

    This large modernist portrait has been excellently executed, and would make a very prominent statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good condition overall. Due to the large size and heaviness of the board, the frame will need to be handled carefully when hanging. Please note that there is some glare in the photographs as the images were taken under natural light.

    Size:  92 x 79 cm (including frame)

  • Flock of Sheep

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm and gorgeous mid 20th century oil painting depicting a flock of sheep in a nature.

    The soft pastel and earthy pastel colours create an air of serenity; and the precise and lightly textured brushstrokes imbue the painting with a tinge of vitality.

    Overall, the varying shades and brushstrokes in this work flow impeccably –  leading our eyes gently from the foreground where the sheep are huddled together, to the background where the vast open land, mountains and blue sky lie beyond in the horizon.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame with an inner gilt window that complements the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Horseman

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century geometric abstract is painted in oil onto board and presented within an off white slip and a gilt frame.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, this painting is reminiscent of works by artists such as Pablo Picasso. We see a removal of ‘superfluous’ elements of both animal and human to reach a simple linear abstraction. The artist has intentionally chosen not to depict the figures realistically, and has instead reduced them down into shapes and lines. Simple yet effective outlines connect seamlessly, standing out against a vivid background of reds, greens, and whites to create this striking composition.

    The painting is housed in a excellent frame that suits the picture brilliantly. It has an off white slip and a gilt frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Houses on a Hill

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully textured mid-century landscape oil painting, depicting a row of houses on a hill top.

    Largely abstract in composition, the artist focuses on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space and has used blocks of muted subdued tones including shades of taupe and green to form this composition.

    Upon closer inspection of the painting,  we can notice how layers of colours have been skilfully and thoughtfully applied – using cobalt blue as the starting undertone colour on the right, and burnt orange on the left.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique, using broad and expressive brushstrokes to create thick and creamy layers of paint to form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original champagne gold frame that has areas of marks commensurate with its age.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • In the Woods

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully expressive mid century oil on canvas, depicting a lush wooded landscape.

    Bold, painterly brushstrokes capture the effects of the elements on the landscape – we get a sense of a light wind blowing through the trees, their branches swaying side to side, the leaves rustling as they go. The artist has used rich, vivid colours to capture the array of hues and shades of the woods. A lighter palette ahs been used for the top half of the picture, where the tree canopy is more exposed to the light of the sky. As we move further down the picture, a deeper, darker, earthier palette has  been used to depict lush depths of the woods and the forest floor.

    This oil painting is housed in a wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Interlink

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large emotive and powerful acrylic on board, painted in 1975.

    Abstract in nature, the painting focuses our attention on non-objective artistic elements such as  colour, line, shape and form.

    Executed in bold primary colours of blue, red and yellow, expressive lines and geometric shapes interlink with one another to define this space on the canvas and form an aesthetically striking and well-balanced pattern.

    As the work does not represent visual reality, the artist has instead used the respective elements to emphasise his inner feelings and emotion. With its saturated colours and dynamic forms that add a highly energetic feel as well as being close to a meter in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

    This acrylic on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original wood frame that has some marks and scuffs (as shown in the images)

  • Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and earthy mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas, and framed in a very complementary gilt frame.

    Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the canvas to create this almost abstract landscape scene. There are elements of this painting that are very much reminiscent of the Modernist painter Paul Cezanne. Although this piece has moved closer towards abstraction, it carries the similar traits of repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes that Cezanne had in his pictures. Here the artist has also used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. There is also great vigour and energy in this painting.

    It is housed in a simple gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs mainly to the lower section. There is some wear to the bottom edge of the frame.

  • Mother and Baby Girl

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a mother with a bowl, feeding a baby girl.

    A depiction of the wonderful (albeit sometimes frustrating) everyday scene of feeding a young child, which is familiar to anyone who has had a young baby. A mother sits close to her child, with the bowl of food set out and her baby in front of her.

    The artist has captured this everyday scene beautifully, using a vivid and bold colour palette, and incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality. The features of the figures have been left out, focusing instead on the shape and form of the figures and the bowl, giving this painting a timelessness, which coincides beautifully with the ‘timelessness’ of raising children and all that comes with it.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century deep profile frame, with an outer wood section and a protruding gilt window. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall appeal. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Neighbourhood Walk

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and lively oil painting featuring a street scene in a bustling neighbourhood. In the foreground, cars and pedestrians line the pavement, and rows of colourful buildings sit in the background.

    The artist has painted in a modernist style, using geometric blocks, bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to paint this detailed composition.

    A playful selection of lively colours that harmonise so well together have been used to form this composition; and the energetic and painterly brushstrokes add dynamism and a light tactility to the painting.

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

  • Pontoon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid century geometric painting in oil, dated 1954.

    Here the artist has captured an industrial marine structure, the pontoon crane. The artist has flattened the composition into sections of flat coloured planes, as well as dark angular lines. Through the use of these geometric shapes and lines, the artist has conveyed the ‘industrial’ sense of the scene through these formal qualities, rather than through a realistic depiction of the crane, pontoon and harbour buildings. This is very much a modernist ethos, where artists painting in this period were incorporating the aesthetic of the ‘machine’ and other industrialist activities into their art.

    This oil painting is housed in a robust solid wood frame, which suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The oak frame has some general scuffing and a small indent to the left and right edges (as seen in photos) but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Portrait in Blue

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking abstract figure painted in pastel tones in oil. Soft muted hues contrast starkly against the distinct sharp black outlines. The style of this figure is reminiscent of the figurative works by  the well known Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele whose works like this one, were often contorted, abstracted, unapologetic and emotionally charged.

    The painted is housed in a cream coloured wood frame and a white card mount. The frame has some general scuffing, but is in keeping with the general ‘rough and raw’ look of the portrait. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pulse

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed  medium sized abstract composition, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1958. A bold and rich colour palette of deep greens, greys and black are accentuated by yellow and white,  giving this picture its depth and intensity. Rhythmic circular brushstrokes are juxtaposed against more angular and formal shapes, encouraging our eyes to move in and around the picture and back again. The artist has filled the canvas with an array of textures – we see smooth brushwork, as well as thicker areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. There are also areas where the artist has dabbed the brush repeatedly, creating small ripples in the paint. Despite the range of colours, shapes and brushwork, there is a beautiful rhythm within the picture, and a very satisfying harmony in its composition.

    The painting is housed in a very elegant smooth champagne gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame.
