The Gardener

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

The painting encapsulates a scene of quiet work, where a male figure is depicted holding a long shovel within a landscape area of a park.

The background unfolds with a green landscape with tall trees, dominated by muted greens and browns and blues, creating a calm yet naturalistic setting.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks as seen in the close ups.

Blue Flowers & Lemon

Sold

SOLD

A lively mid-century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

In the foreground, a vase of striking blue flowers commands attention. Beside the vase, a single lemon, a burst of radiant yellow, also rests on the windowsill. The backdrop presents a view of buildings and houses that have been painted in light pastel shades of blues, yellows and pinks.

The artist has skilfully simplified the composition down to blocks of geometric shapes in contrasting shades and bold outlines, maintaining the modernist focus on geometric abstraction, as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

The brushstrokes across the canvas are expressive and lightly textured, contributing to the painting’s dynamic quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary cream frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

Size: 66 x 39 cm (including frame)

Coastal Fragments

Sold

SOLD.

An outstanding mid-century abstract composition depicting a coastal scene with boats, painted in oil onto canvas.

The artwork embodies hints of cubism, with all realistic details omitted, emphasising a play of geometric shapes and colours.

The artist has expertly deconstructed what we can discern to be a coastal scene with boats into blocks of contrasting colours that interlock with one another, creating a harmonious balance among them.

The colour palette predominantly features rich reds, pale yellows, mellow whites and beige, and deep blacks, each block merging with the next through a process of layering that adds depth and interest to the composition.

The use of these rich colours brings warmth and energy to the scene, while the unique blue outlines that trace the silhouettes of some blocks add a distinctive touch, drawing the eye to key elements of the composition.

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

Size: 62 x 74 cm (including frame)

Place Setting

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist semi abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

Reminiscent of the Modern British St Ives painter Ben Nicholson who was also fascinated with table top scenes, this composition features a real interest in cubist techniques. The artist here uses a still life composition of plates, mugs and a bottle on a table with a flattened perspective while still suggesting their three dimensional forms. This composition is executed in a warm colour palette, with a smooth finish.

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

Size: 40 x 55 cm (including frame)

Still Life with Herrings

Sold

SOLD

An outstanding mid-century modernist style still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas board.

Simple yet effective in its composition, two smoked herrings take center stage in the painting. They are set against a light yellow, white and striking blue backdrop, with their richer yellow shades and bold outlines allowing their forms to stand out.

The artist employs a painterly and expressive approach, utilising broad, confident brushstrokes that lend a sense of dynamism and rhythmic flow to the composition.

The painting celebrates the simplicity and beauty found in still life, and the artist’s confident use of colour and brushstroke elevates the painting beyond its mere representation.

This oil on canvas board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some marks to its left edge.

Terrace

Sold

SOLD

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

Although largely abstract, we can just about discern a scene of several terraced houses. The artist has reduced this townscape scene into abstract forms and shapes, using contrasting colours to create a sense of depth within the composition. He has used a warm and rich palette of terracotta red, orange and black. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and texture throughout the composition.

The painting is on stretched canvas and can be hung unframed. There is some scattered craquelure and general age wear that is commensurate with age, but the painting is stable and looks good overall.

Size: 85 x 54.5 cm (including frame)

Modernist Village

Sold

SOLD

A serene and outstanding mid-century modernist style landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

Long and narrow in format, the composition features a pathway that stretches from the foreground into the distance, guiding the eye towards a row of quaint houses. The pathway is flanked on one side by a line of trees, whose simplified forms are depicted in muted shades of forest green.

Beyond the houses, a backdrop of distant mountains anchors the composition, rendered in soft hues of grey.

The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has skillfully deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting colours, to demonstrate a sense of depth and dimension.

The use of contrasting yet subtle muted earthy shades creates a feeling of balance and tranquility, inviting the viewer to imagine a peaceful stroll along the pathway.

Being narrow and running close to a meter in length, the painting’s size would make it the perfect addition above a bed or sofa.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim cream frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks and scuffing but this does not detract from overall attractiveness.

Size: 40 x 96 cm (including frame)

Seated in the Garden

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1939.

The painting presents a table setting within dense garden setting surrounded by an expanse of muted green shades. Seated away from the table, a female figure occupying a chair punctuates the center of the composition, her presence is enigmatic as her facial features are omitted.

Expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed across the canvas, creating a sense of movement and depth within the forested backdrop, and the muted earthy tones imbue the work with a sense of calm.

Vibrant Flowers

Sold

SOLD.

A lively and vibrant mid-century still life painting that conveys a sense of life and dynamism through its abstract style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

The central focus is an orange vase, positioned on a surface, filled with an explosion of flowers. Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted, and the painting is characterised by its vivid use of rich colour as well as bold, expressive brushstrokes.

Through the use of sweeping broad strokes that have been confidently executed, swathes of bright orange, deep purple, golden yellows, and vibrant blues and greens blend and overlap, creating a sense of movement and energy that suggests the lively vibrancy of a floral arrangement in full bloom.

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

Size: 69.5 x 81.5 cm (including frame)
