    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

  • The Tanker

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully monochromatic work of art presenting a ship sailing solo in the ocean. There is the sense of the quiet, but also of the vastness of the ocean. In this painting, the tanker appears tiny within the expansive ocean and sky.

    The artist has used a restrained palette comprising varying shades of grey, and it is this darkness of both the land and water that conveys a sense of power and strength, that envelopes the whole picture, including what would normally be an enormous tanker.  The artist has skilfully managed to convey the power and strength while still evoking an overall sense of visual calm and stillness in the painting.

    The oil painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame, which has a few minor nicks around the edges, but this does not detract from the overall beauty of the picture. The painting is in very good vintage condition with no losses.

  • As Seasons Change

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding modernist style artwork of a quiet and peaceful town scape in Sweden, painted in 1963.

    Winter has just arrived, as barren trees and snow-covered rooftops and walkways fill the canvas.

    Painted in subtle and muted earthy tones, this work of art is enriched with a mellow aesthetic that is well aligned to the wintery mood.

    Through the use of short and visible brushstrokes as well as planes of contrasting colours, the artist has skilfully managed to create a strong sense of depth in the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a linen lining, that has minor scuffs.

  • Coast in Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century coastal scape, painted in oil onto canvas. The artist appears to have taken inspiration from the modernist concept of fauvism, which is a style characterised by strong non-naturalistic colours and bold brushwork. The forms of the subjects (in this case the land, trees, sea and sky) have been simplified, making them appear quite abstract. The artist has also used complementary/opposing colours side by side, which make the painting look brighter.

    This oil is housed in its original mid century off-white frame with a gilt border and an inner white slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 55 x 64 cm (including frame)

  • Expression

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid century Swedish painting executed in the abstract expressionist style. Abstract expressionism is characterised by gestural brush-strokes, and the impression of spontaneity, and is expressive and emotional in its effect. In this painting, a range of bright and striking colours have been applied in various ways – we se areas of brush work, areas of splatter, scratching, and areas of application with a palette knife. These varying applications combined with several areas of thick impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud from the surface) have created this dynamic and energetic composition.

    The painting is housed in a simple wooden frame which suits it well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Placid

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil and well-balanced landscape painting of a vast open land, rendered in oil.

    Contrasting earthy tones of brown and green have been wonderfully layered, not only demonstrating a sense of depth in the painting, but also enriching it with a calming aesthetic.

    The artist has also thoughtfully used long and painterly brushstrokes, that further boosts its soothing qualities.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary thin gilt frame that has some areas of scuffs, and some losses to the outer edges which are not obvious from the front (as shown in the photos).

  • The Fishermen

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully dynamic expressionist piece by Swedish artist Arne Wallsten, depicting two fishermen who have just come back from the shore after a long day out at see.

    Wallsten’s quick and thick brushstrokes and contrasting colours convey intense movement within the picture. Large brushstrokes of dark blue and grey signify the inclement weather the fishermen have had to face all day while out at sea, and Wallsten has further extended this sense of blustery and rough weather into the land, where he has painted the ground almost as though it is itself a turbulent surface. Long vertical, expressionist strokes of yellow, brown and orange on the house to the right indicate that it has had to face the element – its roof and walls rough and rugged.

    Wallsten was born in 1932 in Lund. He is know for figures in interiors and exteriors, and his paintings always carry a narrative.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original wood and painted gilt frame. It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 39 x 47 cm (including frame)

    This painting would pair nicely with another Arne Wallsten painting of a similar size which is also available in our collection. View it here.

  • Blocks

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and bold mid century abstract oil on canvas, painted in 1966. Distinct, expressionist brushstrokes have been used across this composition to create this lively and dynamic painting. The artist has played with a myriad of colours, abstracting what appears to be a cityscape down to contrasting colours in rectangular blocks. The top section of the canvas has a more restrained palette, with a blend of greys and greens, but the colours get increasingly rich as we move down from the canvas. In the middle section, we see the use of darker black outlines as well.

    This abstract oil is housed in its original mid century wood frame with a linen lined border, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • One Fine Day

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding and vibrant scenic landscape with houses, rendered in oil and dated 1962.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents of the use of a palette knife not only in the application of paint, but in mixing colours as well.

    Through the use of a palette knife in a swift and sweeping motion, areas of smooth creamy paint fill the canvas, adding a lovely three-dimensional texture to the lively painted surface.

    The artist also has a deep understanding of colour. Using a myriad of shades, not only has he been able to mix and layer the respective colours that harmonise brilliantly to give rise to the various forms, but has also used contrasting planes of colours to demonstrate depth in this painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a simple white wooden frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic large mid century Swedish oil on canvas, painted in 1957. The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, with the artist focusing on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space.

  • Washing Jugs

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellent mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1959. Depicting a woman seated on a chair surrounded by objects including a jug, this painting has been executed in a semi-abstract style with cubist influences.

    Thoughtful and elegant brushstrokes with subtle blending, as well as a muted earthy colour palette of blues, browns and beige fill the canvas. The artist has skilfully abstracted down this scene through the use of contrasting blocks of colours that not only harmonise well together to give rise to the various forms, but to also demonstrate a strong sense of depth in this painting.

  • Pinks & Linen

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really stunning mid century Swedish still life in oil, painted in 1944. This bright and cheery picture has been painted in an expressionist manner, with lively and distinct brushstrokes in a beautiful harmony of colours.  The tall vase of pink florals capture our initial attention, and as our eyes move downwards we begin to notice the gorgeous set of apples in the lower half of the picture. The artist has chosen to paint these in ‘post impressionist’ style, choosing non naturalistic colours which really make them stand out. The colourful flowers and apples have been set against a pastel blue and purple background, which really pulls the whole still life composition together.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous distressed sand coloured distressed wood frame with an inner white border, which matches the character and style of the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Plum

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly textured floral painting in oil featuring a warm, earthy palette. It depicts a tall vintage vase with purple tulips and other lilac and white flowers standing on a window sill. The artist has chosen to use a painterly, modernist style to compose this image – using thick, distinct layers of paint and expressive brushstrokes. The painting has several areas of impasto (areas where the paint has been applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) which give this painting a wonderful tactility.

    The painting is set within a decorative wood frame that has been painted and distressed in white, adding a uniqueness to the painting. The frame and painting have been fixed onto board, which can be seen on the reverse (refer to photos). Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Seated Nude

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully painted modernist composition of a female nude figure, skilfully executed in oil in 1942. The model is portrayed in a home setting, seated on a bench  against a sanguine and green background. With her gaze facing away from the viewer, she is unaware and caught up in her own thoughts.

    Expressive and swift brushstrokes have been executed in a confident manner. The artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours, and also of the human body. Not only has he captured the curves of her anatomy wonderfully, but has also mixed and layered the various earthy tones to render the complex nature of skin perfectly and with great emotion.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame lined with linen and an inner white border. The mid century frame has signs of ageing that are typical for its age, but these imperfections add to the charm of the piece.

  • The Gaze

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming modernist painting in oil of a figure by a table. The artist has used large, flat planes of colour to create this composition. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and focus has instead been paid attention to form, shape and colour. Interestingly, the artist has chosen to paint the tulips in a much more realistic manner, creating a distinct contrast and pop of colour against the rest of the more angular, flat composition.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous dark wood and gilt frame, with an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • White Lake

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic panoramic landscape painted in oil onto board, featuring a soft colour palette of mostly cool tones including blues, greens and yellows. There is a wonderful sense of depth and detail that has been achieved through the artist’s use of different paint application methods. In some areas the paint has been applied with a palette knife, while  in other areas a brush has been used, with short and long strokes moving in different directions. This has resulted in a myriad of different textures and consistencies within the picture, creating a very visually stimulating painting.

    The painting is housed in a simple white frame which gives it a contemporary feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a very minor scuff to the bottom right hand side but this certainly does not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

    A beautiful mid century Swedish coastal landscape scene in oil, painted in 1944. The painting has a very calming colour palette, and is the perfect piece to rest our eyes on.

A group of figures, possibly fishermen, appear to be hanging out some materials to dry (nets perhaps), with a shed behind them and the sea beyond that. There is an overall softness to this painting, from the palette and brushwork, to the overall coastalscape scene.

    The painting is also housed in a gorgeous sand coloured wood frame, with an inner gilt border that illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • By the Reeds

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    We have here a calm summer’s day, the water is still and the air is cool. To the left a boat is anchored, just beyond the reeds. It is easy to imagine the artist, painting this beautiful sight before them, en plein air. The impressionistic style and subtle impasto has created a highly textured effect, and the artist has left small bits of the board exposed.  The clear glassy water beautifully reflects the open skies above, while the richer green colours of the reeds in the forefront pair perfectly with the tree lined background.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with beaded moulding.

    Size: 49.5 x 61.5 cm (including frame)

    In excellent vintage condition.

    Although the contrasting colour blocks of muted pastel tones of sand, grey, taupe imbue the with a sense of calm, the artist’s use of swift and energetic brushstrokes invigorate this work with subtle liveliness. 

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame that has hints of red.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed wooden frame with an outer gilt window.
