Cubist Hillside
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking cubist-style modernist composition that captures a cluster of houses nestled beneath towering trees and radiant geometric hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

Painted in a vertically elongated format, the scene unfolds: guiding the eye upward from timber-framed cottages and red rooftops toward pale angular mountains and a glowing cream-coloured sun.

Executed in a modernist style with cubist influences, the composition is built from fractured planes and intersecting triangular forms that give the landscape a rhythmic, architectural structure. The tall dark trees act as dramatic vertical anchors against the luminous pastel terrain, lending the work both serenity and monumentality.

The palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft creams, pale peach, muted sage, dusty blue, and earthy browns contrasted against deep forest greens and near-black shadows. Areas of impasto and textured layering create a tactile surface, while expressive brushstrokes and scraped passages reveal an intuitive, painterly hand. The faceted hills and sky are rendered with angular sweeps of paint, adding movement and light throughout the composition.

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

Size: 102 x 32 cm (including frame)

Fading Light
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A moody and atmospheric mid-century painting that captures a quiet landscape the edge of twilight, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of darkened farm buildings with angular rooftops sit silhouetted against a low, glowing horizon. The land in the foreground feels scarce.

The style is expressive, and form is simplified but atmosphere is deeply felt. The artist prioritises mood over detail, allowing the composition to breathe through shadow and contrast rather than precision.

The colour palette is restrained yet powerful: deep charcoals, smoky greys, and earthy umbers dominate, punctuated by a striking band of warm yellow along the horizon. Subtle hints of burnt red and rust flicker through the foreground, adding depth and a quiet intensity.

Brushwork is confident and textural, with visible, slightly impasto strokes that give the land a tactile, almost rugged quality. The buildings are rendered with looser, broader strokes, allowing their silhouettes to emerge organically from the surrounding darkness. The sky is softly blended, creating a gentle transition that enhances the painting’s atmospheric tension.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant and well-suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs. Please note that there is just some glare in the photos – there is no fading to any of the colours in the painting.

Silent Companions
£895
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quiet arresting mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

This composition presents two elongated female figures standing side by side, their presence both grounded and ethereal. The subjects are reduced to essential forms – tall, cloaked silhouettes with simplified faces – imbuing them with a sense of introspection and quiet detachment. They appear suspended within a flattened architectural space, where block-like shapes behind them suggest walls or structures without anchoring the scene to any specific place, enhancing the painting’s contemplative quality.

Executed in a restrained, earthy palette, the work leans into deep umbers, warm browns, and soft taupes, punctuated subtly by a muted ochre accent that draws the eye without disrupting the overall harmony. The brushwork is deliberate yet understated – thinly layered with a matte finish – allowing the texture of the surface to gently come through. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the figures a quiet stillness, while the broad, flat application of paint reinforces the modernist sensibility of reduction and form.

There is a poetic tension between presence and absence here: the figures are undeniably central, yet emotionally distant, inviting the viewer to project their own narrative. The overall effect is one of calm restraint and introspective beauty – an elegant example of mid-century abstraction meeting figuration in its most distilled form.

This oil on canvas is present softly toned linen lined wood frame with a stepped, layered profile that creates gentle depth and guides the eye inward toward the composition. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A Moment to Read
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure absorbed in reading, positioned beside a softly lit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

The setting feels intimate and introspective – books are stacked and scattered across a desk and nearby surfaces. The figure’s posture, slightly bowed over the book, conveys a sense of stillness and focus.

Rendered in a distinctly expressive, modernist style, the composition leans toward abstraction without losing its figurative anchor. The artist simplifies the figure’s facial features, allowing gesture and stance to carry emotional weight. There is a subtle tension between structure and looseness – forms are blocked in with confidence, yet edges dissolve and shift, lending the scene a fleeting quality.

The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep charcoals, and mossy greens, punctuated by passages of pale blue and a warm, luminous yellow from the window light. This interplay of cool and warm tones creates depth and atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the glowing interior light source.

Brushstrokes are tactile and deliberate: thick, painterly applications of oil give the surface a textured, almost sculptural quality. The handling is direct and unrefined in places, with visible strokes that trace the artist’s hand, reinforcing the immediacy and emotional sincerity of the work.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful champagne coloured wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Dream Reflex
£1,150
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and compelling evocative 1987 figurative interior painting that captures a contemplative moment shared between three figures set within a softly abstracted studio environment, by Finnish postwar artist Marjatta Sarasalo (1930 – 2006).

Sarasalo’s paintings have a very distinctive style, which incorporate line drawings of figures on very textured backgrounds as seen in this piece. Here’s the bodies have been rendered in a delicate, linear style – each figure outlined with expressive black contour lines against a textured, ochre-toned ground.

Their poses are relaxed yet poised: one sits cross-legged in profile, another stands beside her, while the third looms gently in the background, creating a rhythm of human presence that feels both classical and modern.

Executed with a refined palette of warm sand, muted green, pale rose, and chalky white, the composition is harmonised by vertical bands of colour that frame and anchor the figures, suggesting architectural planes or light filtering through curtains. The layered surface – built up with dry, rough brushstrokes and subtle scumbling—imbues the work with a tactile, fresco-like quality.

The painting’s quiet grandeur and subdued palette speak to a modernist sensitivity, where figuration, abstraction, and texture merge in serene dialogue.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick to its left edge but is in good condition overall.

Red Tulips
£415
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A captivating and well-balanced interior still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

Upon first glance, a vase of striking red tulips in the foreground captures our attention. Our eyes are then guided to a red ceramic jug in the middle ground, followed by a dresser in the background. There is a strong focus of attention on the objects as their bold colours stand out in contrast to the background painted in light cream, grey, sand, and blue tones.

The painting has an uplifting quality, brought forth through the use of rich colours and expressive brushstrokes.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well suited gilt frame with an inner hessian window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Figure in Constructed Room
£1,085
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very striking mid-century modern composition that presents a pared-back interior scene distilled into bold geometry and quiet symbolism, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957 by the estalished Swedish artist Bertil Berntsson (1921-2002), whose works have been exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm, Ystad Art Museum, Malmö Museum, and the Helsingborg City Museum, to name a few.

At the centre stands a simplified elongated female figure that has been rendered with minimal contour yet carrying a strong, sculptural presence. Beside her, a cylindrical vessel or drum-like form anchors the composition, its solidity contrasting with the openness of the surrounding space.

The setting is constructed through intersecting planes and architectural lines, suggesting walls, windows, or partitions without fully resolving into a literal interior. This ambiguity lends the work a contemplative quality – where figure and object coexist in a suspended, silent dialogue.

Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modernist influences, drawing on elements of abstraction and cubist structure. Thick, deliberate black outlines define the forms, creating a graphic framework that flattens perspective while guiding the eye across the composition. The restrained palette features soft creams, muted greys, and a gentle teal-blue panel, balanced by deeper blacks and earthy browns. These colours are applied in broad, even fields, with subtle tonal shifts that add depth without disrupting the overall calm.

The brushwork is confident, largely smooth and controlled, with occasional visible strokes and dry-brush textures that lend a tactile quality to the surface. The result is a harmonious interplay between line, form, and colour.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame that complements the earthy palette of the work. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Long Turn Home
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric and expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a solitary figure walking along a gently winding path bordered by a stand of tall dark trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the distance, low rolling hills dissolve into a hazy horizon beneath a softly shifting sky, lending the scene a contemplative, almost introspective mood. The lone figure, rendered with minimal detail, becomes a quiet focal point – suggesting themes of solitude, journey, and reflection.

Stylistically, the painting leans toward an expressive, semi-abstract interpretation of the landscape. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise realism. The trees to the right are articulated with bold, vertical strokes, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the softer, diffused background.

The colour palette is cool and restrained, dominated by layered greens, deep forest tones, and muted blue-greys. Subtle touches of pale sky blue and soft white break through the cloud cover, while earthy undertones ground the composition. Occasional dabs of lighter pigment across the foreground add texture and visual rhythm.

Brushwork is confident and gestural throughout: broad, sweeping strokes shape the land and sky, while more assertive, almost calligraphic lines define the trees and path. The paint is applied with varying thickness, creating a tactile surface that enhances the painting’s immediacy and emotional depth.

This oil on canvas is presented in a silver painted wood frame with an inner cream border. The painted surface shows areas of craquelure, most notably within the darker black passages, where the paint layer appears slightly fragile. Otherwise, it is in good vintage condition.

Twilight Path
£465
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a hushed forest scene at nightfall, where fading light settles softly over a quiet woodland, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a gently defined and inviting path emerges, guiding the eye inward and creating a subtle sense of movement through the stillness.

Rendered in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist distils the forest into softened bands and gestural marks. Trees are suggested rather than defined, dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elusive, with the path offering structure amid the increasingly shadowed landscape.

The colour palette leans into cool, moody tones: muted greens, deepened aquas, smoky greys, and chalky whites – layered to evoke the last traces of light filtering through the trees. Darker, almost inky accents anchor the composition, hinting at tree trunks and the quiet density of the forest as it recedes into shadow.

Brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, horizontal strokes shape the landscape and the path, while thicker, textured applications of paint add weight and tactility in the foreground. More translucent layers in the background soften the scene, allowing forms to blur gently into one another, enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is presented in a refined, light-toned wood frame featuring a gently stepped profile and a contrasting black inset which creates a striking visual border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometric Collage in Dark Brown
£380
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

At the centre is a compact vertical block of four rectangles, arranged in a tight grid. The arrangement feels deliberate and balanced, like a coded visual fragment.

The surface surrounding this central form is rich with the history of its previous life. Dark, charcoal-toned book covers dominate the background, with horizontal scuffs, striations, and fading that reveal years of handling and wear. A visible seam across the middle hints at the joining of separate covers, reinforcing the idea of reconstruction.

The binding cloth used in the coloured rectangles subtly contrasts with the rougher ground. The crisp geometry of the central block stands in tension with the imperfect, weathered field.

Boyd distills their physical essence into a minimal composition that speaks of time, use, and renewal—less about what was written, and more about what remains.

The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

Bottles in Blue Geometry
£725
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined and thoughtfully composed mid-century still life composition in a cubist style that presents two elongated bottles set against a layered arrangement of abstracted forms, executed in oil onto board.

The objects are simplified and slightly flattened, outlined with confident dark contours that give them a sculptural presence. Around them, angular planes and overlapping shapes create a quiet architectural backdrop, lending structure and balance to the composition while subtly shifting the sense of depth.

Executed in a modernist style with cubist leanings, the work embraces reduction and clarity over realism. The interplay between object and space feels deliberate and contemplative, with negative space used just as thoughtfully as the painted forms themselves. There is a calm stillness to the arrangement, where everyday objects are elevated into a study of form, tone, and balance.

The colour palette is harmoniously restrained, dominated by cool blues, soft aquas, and muted teal tones, punctuated by gentle off-whites and deeper navy accents. These hues create a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere, while subtle tonal variations add dimension without disrupting the overall serenity.

This oil on board is presented in a elegant frame with a warm, muted gold tone finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Red Table
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intimate mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

The interior is centred on a small, round table draped in a vivid red cloth, paired with a slender blue chair. The setting is intimate and pared back, with a turquoise door to the left introducing depth and structure, while a small, minimally rendered painting hangs on the wall behind. A simple vase of flowers and a small vessel rest atop the table, suggesting a moment of pause, as if the space has just been left or is waiting to be occupied.

Rendered in a mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplified forms and flattened perspective. The artist has distilled the interior into essential geometric shapes and colour blocks, creating a balance between representation and abstraction. There is a strong decorative sensibility at play, with careful attention to spatial relationships and visual rhythm rather than strict realism.

The palette is warm yet strikingly balanced. The deep red of the tablecloth anchors the composition, contrasted beautifully by the cool turquoise of the door and the soft blue of the chair. Earthy brown tones in the floor add warmth, while the walls are painted in muted creams and gentle lilacs, lending a soft, atmospheric backdrop.

The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible, painterly strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Broader strokes define the walls and floor, while slightly more controlled applications shape the furniture and objects. Edges are softened rather than sharply delineated, enhancing the painting’s calm, contemplative mood.

This oil on canvas is housed in a charming wooden frame with multiple profiles, finished in warm, layered tones that beautifully complement the palette of the painting. The painting is in good condition overall – there is some craquelure present that is consistent with age, however the paint layer is in stable and does not detract from the overall appearance of the work.

Where Houses Gather
£825
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century composition that depicts a cluster of closely nestled houses as their angular rooftops form a rhythmic patchwork against a soft open sky, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Wilhelm Wik (1897-1987), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, to name a few.

The scene appears gently elevated, allowing the viewer to look across the rooftops toward a calm, pale horizon. A small domed structure rises subtly among the buildings, adding a sense of place and quiet architectural character.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and flattened perspective. The houses are reduced to bold geometric shapes, outlined with confident, dark lines that lend structure and clarity to the composition. There is a deliberate absence of fine detail, allowing the interplay of shape and colour to take centre stage.

The colour palette is warm yet restrained: soft creams and sandy tones form the buildings, while pops of terracotta and burnt orange on the rooftops introduce gentle contrast. These are balanced by deep, expressive greens in the foreground foliage, painted in loose, gestural strokes that bring movement and texture to the lower edge of the scene. The sky is rendered in a calm, neutral wash, enhancing the overall sense of stillness and light.

Brushwork varies across the surface: the architecture is treated with flatter, more controlled applications of paint, while the greenery is handled with thicker, more fluid strokes, creating a pleasing tension between order and spontaneity.

This oil on board is presented in a characterful wooden frame which features a rustic wood finish with visible grain and a stepped gilt inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some paint loss to the gilded section of the frame, consistent with age, however this does not detract from its overall appearance or charm.

Agnes
£625
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A thoughtful mid-century figurative portrait that captures a female figure in a moment of inward reflection, executed in oil onto canvas.

Positioned slightly off-centre, she gazes softly away from the viewer, her expression calm yet contemplative. There is a sense of emotional distance – she feels present, but absorbed in her own interior world. The simplicity of her attire and the absence of narrative detail draw attention to her face and psychological presence, making the portrait feel intimate and introspective rather than formal.

Executed in a loose, painterly mid-century style, the work leans toward modernist portraiture with subtle expressionist undertones. The artist prioritises mood and character over strict realism, allowing forms to soften and dissolve at the edges. There’s a gentle flattening of space, with the background treated as an atmospheric field rather than a defined setting, enhancing the subject’s quiet isolation.

A muted, harmonious palette dominates the composition – soft sage greens, warm beiges, and gentle creams create a subdued backdrop. The skin tones are delicately layered with hints of pink and grey, lending the face a lived-in softness. A subtle red accent along the neckline introduces a quiet point of contrast, drawing the eye without disrupting the overall calm.

The brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible, layered strokes that give the surface a tactile quality. The face is built up with short, blended strokes, creating a soft modelling of light and form, while the background is more gestural, with broader, sweeping applications of paint. This contrast between controlled and freer brushwork adds depth and reinforces the emotional tone – grounded yet quietly unsettled.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary silver frame. The painting has some small areas of surface paint loss as shown in the photos. The frame has some minor losses and scuffs but is very stable overall.

Old Town Reverie
£475
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A contemplative and nostalgic 20th century street scene composition that captures a quiet yet animated urban square, where figures drift through a softened architectural landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

Tall, weathered buildings rise in layered formation, their facades dissolving into one another. In the foreground, loosely rendered figures – some in conversation, others moving independently – animate the space with a gentle rhythm, giving the composition a sense of everyday life observed from a distance.

The style leans toward a semi-abstract impressionism, where structure and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The artist has employed a restrained palette of light yellows, muted creams, soft greys, and earthy browns, punctuated by occasional darker accents in the figures. These tones create a hazy, almost nostalgic ambiance, as if the scene is filtered through memory or mist.

Brushwork is expressive and fluid, with vertical strokes elongating the buildings and lending them a sense of quiet monumentality. The figures are sketched with minimal, gestural marks – suggestive rather than defined – allowing the viewer to interpret their presence and movement. Areas of paint appear scraped back or layered thinly, adding texture and depth, while softer washes create an atmospheric, almost ethereal ground.

Overall, the painting balances structure and abstraction beautifully, offering a poetic interpretation of urban life – less about a specific place, and more about the feeling of being within it.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame that features a gently stepped profile with soft ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 79 x 66.5 cm (including frame)

Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion
£580
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet captivating mid-century abstract triptych that evokes the quiet power and rhythm of water in motion, executed in oil onto canvas.

Across the three panels, fluid, sculptural forms emerge and dissolve – suggesting cresting waves, shifting currents, or even fleeting natural phenomena captured mid-transformation. Each composition feels both connected and self-contained, inviting the viewer to move from one moment of motion to the next.

Rendered in a restrained, atmospheric palette of soft greys, silvery whites, and muted blue undertones, the works exude a sense of calm and introspection. Subtle tonal gradations in the background create depth and horizon-like expanses, while the central forms introduce tension and movement.

The artist’s use of thick, impasto brushwork is particularly compelling – paint is applied with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, creating ridges and folds that catch the light. These gestural strokes give the impression of energy frozen in time, with each mark feeling deliberate yet instinctive. The contrast between the smooth, blended grounds and the dynamic, textural forms enhances the sense of movement across the series.

Together, the three paintings form a cohesive visual narrative – an exploration of flow, balance, and the ephemeral beauty of natural forces – making this a captivating and contemplative set that rewards close viewing.

These 3 oils are each housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame. The paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have some light scuffing present.

Golden Leopard
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

The composition presents a leopard in profile, moving gently across a simplified landscape. Set against a muted grey sky with faint, stylised clouds, the figure strides along a deep green ground, evoking a calm and contemplative mood.

Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The leopard is defined by clean outlines and slightly exaggerated proportions, while depth is suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

The palette is warm and harmonious. Golden yellows and soft creams of the leopard’s coat are punctuated by rhythmic black spots, set against the cool grey background and deep green foreground for gentle contrast.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that emphasises shape and pattern. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, embodying the charm of the naïve aesthetic with a confident contemporary edge.

This oil on board is presented in a dark wooden frame with an inner gilt window. Both the 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.

Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The lion is defined by clean outlines and gently exaggerated proportions, with depth suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

The palette is warm and restrained. Soft sandy tones of the lion’s body are complemented by a rich, dark mane, set against the cool grey background and deep green foreground for balanced contrast.

A Gathering Across Planes
£910
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century composition that presents a rhythmic display of abstracted figures moving through a fractured, almost mosaic-like landscape, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Gunnar Greiber (1919 – 2011), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet, Västerås Art Museum, Sundsvall Museum, Östersund Museum, Hudiksvall Museum, as well as the Hälsingland Museum.

Slender, linear forms – rendered in vivid red- suggest human silhouettes, gathering across a dense field of angular shapes. These figures feel both primitive and modern, evoking a sense of movement and quiet connectivity within an otherwise chaotic environment.

Stylistically, the painting leans into mid-century abstraction with strong influences of cubism and figurative modernism. The scene is constructed from interlocking geometric planes, compressing depth and perspective into a flattened, dynamic surface. The figures are reduced to essential lines and nodes, almost symbolic in nature, contrasting sharply with the weightier, block-like forms that surround them.

The colour palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds, burgundy, plum, and umber, interspersed with cooler passages of slate blue, charcoal, and muted lavender. Occasional accents of green and pale cream provide visual relief, while the recurring red linear figures create a unifying thread across the composition.

Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Paint is applied in thick, deliberate patches, giving each geometric fragment a tactile presence. The interplay between matte and slightly more saturated passages enhances the sense of depth, despite the overall flattened structure. The result is a compelling balance between order and spontaneity – an intricate visual rhythm that invites the eye to wander and discover new relationships within the composition.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant wood frame with a linen-lined outer border and an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Between Presences
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative 20th century figurative painting that captures three loosely rendered figures in what appears to be a quiet interior passageway, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

The central figure, seen from behind in a dark, almost silhouetted form, anchors the composition, while two lighter, more ethereal figures flank either side – one turned slightly inward, the other facing outward with a casual stance. The scene feels suspended in a moment of subtle interaction, where the narrative is implied rather than defined.

Executed in a restrained, painterly style, the work leans toward abstraction while maintaining a strong figurative presence. The artist has used soft, diffused edges and minimal detailing, allowing the figures to emerge gently from the pale ground. There is a sense of spatial ambiguity, with faint architectural lines suggesting depth without fully committing to perspective – enhancing the introspective, almost dreamlike quality of the piece.

The colour palette is understated and harmonious, dominated by cool greys, soft blues, and muted whites, with occasional warmer undertones in the faces and background. The central figure’s darker tones create a striking contrast, drawing the eye and grounding the composition.

Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible layering that give the surface a tactile quality. Areas of thinly applied paint sit alongside more gestural passages, contributing to the work’s atmospheric softness and quiet emotional resonance.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 57.5 x 48 cm (including frame)

Morning Light with Tulips
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A gentle and delicate mid-century interior still life composition that unfolds around an open window, where soft daylight filters through sheer curtains and gently illuminates a vase of freshly cut tulips, executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene captures a quiet, intimate domestic moment while the blurred greenery beyond the window hints at a tranquil garden just outside. The composition balances stillness and life, with the flowers acting as the focal point against the airy, light-filled backdrop.

Executed in a mid-century modern painterly style, the work leans toward a soft impressionistic approach. Forms are gently simplified rather than sharply defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over precision. There is a delicate interplay between interior and exterior space, achieved through loose rendering and subtle layering.

The palette is light, fresh, and calming – dominated by soft whites, pale greens, and muted blush pinks. Hints of cool blue-grey in the window frames and shadows add depth, while the tulips introduce gentle warmth without overpowering the composition. The overall tonality is airy and luminous, evoking early morning light.

Brushwork is soft and fluid, with light, feathery strokes that create a sense of translucency, particularly in the curtains and glass. The flowers are rendered with slightly more definition, using loose yet confident strokes to suggest form without rigidity. The background remains intentionally diffuse, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s dreamy, atmospheric quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. There are tiny areas of craquelure present on the petals, consistent with age. However, the paint layer is stable and this does not detract from the overall delicacy and charm of the composition and the painting is otherwise in good vintage condition.

Autumn Reflections
£575
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil lakeside scene at the height of autumn, executed in oil onto canvas.

Slender birch trees rise in the foreground, their pale trunks acting as a vertical counterpoint to the soft, undulating forms of cottages and foliage beyond. Across the still water, a cluster of rustic buildings with pitched roofs nestle into a hillside, partially obscured by sweeping, golden canopies of trees. The lake mirrors the scene with gentle distortion, drawing the eye into a quiet, reflective atmosphere.

Executed in a loose, expressive style, the painting embraces painterly abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The artist has used confident, gestural brushstrokes – often thick and directional – to suggest form rather than define it precisely. Areas of impasto add texture, particularly in the foliage and along the water’s edge, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality.

The colour palette is warm and harmonious, dominated by yellows, muted greens, and earthy browns, contrasted with cooler greys and soft blues in the water and sky. Subtle accents of red and deeper green punctuate the composition, adding depth and rhythm. The interplay of colour and reflection enhances the sense of calm, while the energetic handling of paint keeps the scene lively and immediate.

Overall, the work beautifully balances structure and spontaneity – an intimate, atmospheric snapshot of nature interpreted through a distinctly mid-century modern lens.

This oil on canvas is housed a characterful wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Blue Divide
£730
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric 20th century abstract landscape scene that distils nature into its most elemental forms – sky, land, and light – rendered through a restrained yet deeply expressive lens, executed in oil onto board and dated 1973.

A vast, luminous sky in soft, powdery blues stretches across the upper plane, subtly shifting in tone with gentle cloud-like variations. Beneath it, a stark horizon line divides the composition, grounding the scene with a band of deep, inky blues and near-black tones that suggest either a distant sea or an expansive field at dusk.

The foreground is richly atmospheric, built up with layered, gestural applications of paint. Dark teal, indigo, and earthy umber tones merge and dissolve into one another, evoking a sense of depth and quiet movement. A striking passage of pale, almost luminescent white and aqua near the right side hints at reflected light – perhaps water catching the last glimmer of day – adding a moment of contrast and visual intrigue.

Stylistically, the work leans toward abstraction while retaining a strong sense of landscape. The artist has employed broad, confident brushstrokes alongside areas of scraping and reworking, allowing underlying layers to emerge. This interplay of opacity and translucency gives the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality.

Overall, the piece carries a contemplative stillness – an understated yet powerful meditation on horizon, light, and space.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some areas of paint loss, consistent with age.

Houses by the Canal
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century painting that captures a tranquil waterfront scene, where a row of softly rendered houses sits just beyond a calm canal, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, three small boats rest on reflective water, their curved forms echoing a sense of stillness and ease. The composition draws the eye horizontally, from the grounded solidity of the boats to the lively rhythm of the houses and trees behind them.

The style is distinctly modernist, with a loose, expressive approach that favours atmosphere over precision. The buildings are simplified into geometric forms, their facades painted in warm, sunlit tones contrasted by deeper greens of foliage and the muted blues of rooftops. The palette feels both playful and harmonious, with subtle tonal shifts that suggest changing light across the scene.

Brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible, fluid strokes that lend movement to the trees and water. The reflections in the canal are especially evocative – softly blurred and layered, creating a sense of depth without strict realism. Overall, the piece carries a gentle, nostalgic quality, evoking a quiet moment in a coastal village, where time feels slowed and the everyday becomes quietly beautiful.

This oil on board is housed in an elegant wood frame whereby the outer section is finished in a muted cream with subtle silver accents along the inner edges, and with an inner linen-textured mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Space Between
£640
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A 21st-century minimalist abstract painting that explores the interplay between negative space and geometric form with meditative clarity, executed in oil on canvas.

Dominated by a large, white shape that stretches vertically across the canvas, the composition is framed by two symmetrical bands of muted green on either side. These green sections are not sharply delineated but instead curve inward with organic fluidity, forming the edges of the central void.

Executed in a minimalist style, the work bears no visible brushstrokes, suggesting the use of masking techniques or flat application of paint to achieve a crisp, graphic finish. The simplicity of the colour palette – clean white and a subdued forest green – lends a serene, contemplative tone, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tension between form and emptiness, presence and absence. A subtle nod to mid-century minimalism, this piece balances structure and softness with elegant restraint.

This work appeals emotionally through its stillness and subtle rhythm, and intellectually through its form-driven abstraction—a reminder that art doesn’t need to explain itself to be deeply affecting.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 83 x 83 cm (including frame)

Begonia & Apples
£440
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very pleasant and meticulously painted mid-century still life that captures a potted begonia arranged beside a small plate of apples, set against a softly lit interior backdrop, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1949.

The composition feels intimate and unpretentious. An everyday moment elevated through careful observation and painterly sensitivity. The broad, rounded leaves of the begonia fan outward with a gentle rhythm, some tinged with warm russet reds, while delicate pink blossoms rise lightly above, adding a subtle vertical lift. To the right, some apples rest on a simple plate, grounding the composition and introducing a quiet sense of balance.

The painting leans toward a softened realism with expressive undertones. Forms are simplified yet thoughtfully modelled, with an emphasis on structure and tonal harmony rather than strict detail. The artist shows a clear sensitivity to light and volume, particularly in the way the leaves catch and diffuse illumination.

The palette is warm and inviting: earthy greens and olive tones dominate the foliage, contrasted by soft coral reds and blush pinks in the flowers. The pears introduce muted yellow-greens, while the tabletop in a warm, buttery yellow adds a gentle luminosity. The background shifts subtly between pale blue-grey and cream, creating depth without distraction.

Brushwork is confident yet restrained, with visible strokes that lend texture and vitality to the surface. The leaves are articulated with layered, directional strokes that suggest their waxy structure, while the pot and fruit are handled with slightly broader, more blended applications. Throughout, the paint is applied with a tactile quality , neither overly thick nor overly smooth, resulting in a balanced, expressive finish.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame, and subtle inner silver and champagne windows. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Outpost by the Sea
£440
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century landscape that captures a quiet, sunlit coastal scene, where a solitary white structure rises gently against a calm horizon, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition feels almost dreamlike, softened by distance and atmosphere. The foreground dissolves into abstracted forms of foliage and terrain, guiding the eye toward the central architectural form and the expanse of sea beyond.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting balances structure with spontaneity. The artist has used a restrained yet luminous palette: soft blues and greens are punctuated by sand and sunlit yellows, evoking the gentle heat of a coastal afternoon. The white building acts as a quiet anchor, its simplicity contrasting beautifully with the surrounding painterly gestures.

Brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, with areas of soft blending juxtaposed against more gestural marks. The paint appears to be applied with a light, confident hand: allowing forms to emerge rather than be rigidly defined. This gives the work an airy, atmospheric quality, as though the scene is suspended between memory and observation.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited and characterful wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The linen border on the frame has some age toning but the frame is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

The Reader’s Pause
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative interior scene that unfolds around a seated female figure, absorbed in reading, executed in oil onto canvas.

Positioned beside an open window, she is framed by a gentle interplay between interior and exterior worlds where the stillness of the room is contrasted with a distant, simplified landscape beyond. A small table with a vase of flowers and furnishing introduces a domestic warmth. The figure’s downward gaze and relaxed posture evoke a moment of quiet solitude, as though time has briefly paused within this private space.

Executed in an expressive mid-century style, the painting prioritises mood and emotional presence over strict realism. The figure is deliberately simplified, with slightly exaggerated proportions and softened features that lend a dreamlike, almost introspective quality. Spatial relationships are subtly skewed, enhancing the sense of intimacy and subjectivity. The composition feels intuitive rather than rigid, capturing not just a scene, but a feeling.

The palette is rich yet restrained, balancing cool, airy blues with earthy reds, mossy greens, and warm ochres. These tones are layered and slightly muted, giving the painting a lived-in softness. The contrast between the cooler wall and the warmer clothing creates a quiet tension, while the deeper blues and greens anchor the composition and add depth.

The brushwork is confident and expressive, with visible, gestural strokes that animate the surface. Paint is applied with a tactile immediacy, sometimes thin and sketch-like, at other moments thicker and more deliberate, allowing the artist’s hand to remain present throughout. Edges are loosely defined, and transitions between colours feel organic rather than controlled, reinforcing the emotional, painterly quality of the work.

This oil on canvas is housed in a softly toned wood frame that complements the work’s gentle, intimate mood. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

She Who Reaches
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An expressive mid-century figurative painting that captures an intimate interior moment where a woman is seen cleaning a shop window, set within a richly layered setting, executed in oil onto canvas.

Her gesture feels unhurried, calmly cleaning the shop front window. The room unfolds around her: a table laid with fruit, a small vase of flowers, and stacked vessels or books that lend a sense of warmth.

The composition leans into a modernist, naïve expressionist style. Perspective is deliberately flattened, and forms are simplified into bold, almost sculptural shapes. Rather than striving for realism, the artist prioritises atmosphere and feeling, allowing the space to read as both physical and emotional.

The colour palette is striking and evocative. Deep, inky blues and blacks dominate the upper half, punctuated by glowing circular forms that suggest lamplight or a stylised moon beyond the interior. These darker tones are balanced by earthy reds, browns, and greens that ground the scene. The figure’s garment, rendered in rich violet hues, becomes the compositional anchor, drawing the eye immediately to her presence.

Brushstrokes are confident and tactile, applied with visible energy. These loose gestural marks create a surface that feels alive and rhythmic.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Seated Harlequin
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century figurative painting where a solitary, elongated figure is captured mid-pose, leaning into a quiet, introspective moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1961.

Dressed in a bold harlequin-patterned suit, the subject occupies a constructed interior – part stage, part room – defined by geometric planes. The posture feels both poised and slightly off-balance, suggesting a tension between performance and stillness, as though the figure has paused between acts.

Drawing on elements of figurative abstraction, the composition is structured through flattened perspectives and intersecting planes, while the figure is stylised with simplified anatomy and a mask-like face. There is a theatrical quality to the scene – evoking European modernist traditions where costume, form, and space interplay in a quiet psychological narrative.

A striking palette defines the painting. The harlequin suit is rendered in deep reds, blacks, and muted purples, anchoring the composition with rhythmic intensity. This is set against a backdrop of cool, calming tones: soft sage greens, dusty blues, and pale neutrals. The contrast between warm and cool hues creates both depth and visual tension, while maintaining an overall harmony.

The brushwork is controlled yet expressive, with a matte, slightly textured surface. Planes of colour are applied with confidence, often in flat, deliberate blocks, while subtle variations in tone and edge soften the geometry. The figure itself is outlined with a gentle firmness, allowing it to emerge clearly from the layered background without losing the painterly quality.

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