  • Bedouins

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning mid century Swedish oil on board, painted in 1964. A group of 3 bedouins sit to the right, with a single standing figure forming the focus of the composition to the right. In a typically modernist style, the artist has abstracted both the figures and the landscapes, using blocks of contrasting colour to create depth and a sense of space. The striking blue of the figures’ headscarves and robes contrast beautifully against the sandy browns and greys of the desert landscape. There is a wonderful stillness to the piece which adds to its striking composition.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • La Rochelle

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An absolutely stunning and delicate coastal cityscape of La Rochelle in France, executed in oil and dated 1963. This artwork has been painted in a semi-abstract manner, as the city skyline reflects wonderfully in the waters surrounding it.

    Composed with a restrained colour palette comprising subtle shades of light blue, grey and yellow – the work is imbued with a sense of calmness and tranquility.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife – giving the work a lightly textured and smooth surface.

    Additionally, there is also a thin layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with a linen lining. There are some scuffs and marks  on the painting are typical for a mid century painting.

  • Around Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

     A quaint and colourful evening street scene, set in Paris. Several figures roam the city streets, probably on their way to an evening meal. A warm light shines from a restaurant to the right of the picture, which has a striking red roof. To the lower left of the picture a colourful phone booth stands next to a street lamp. In the background, steps lead toward a clock tower. Despite the ‘busy-ness’ of the painting, there is an air of calm and familiarity.

    This expressive painting is housed in a  deep profile gilt frame with an inner linen and cream border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sanctuary

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoroughly atmospheric landscape scene, depicting a man walking in solitude through a nature trail. He is disconnected from everything else, and is absorbed in the tranquility of his sanctuary.

    The artist has used a range of painterly and expressive brushstrokes, and a cool colour palette.

    The size of the man portrayed pales in comparison to his surrounding; perhaps serving as a reminder of the insignificance of human life against the scale of the universe, and how we should not hold on to our worries too deeply.

    Apart from some light stains on the canvas (as shown in the images), this oil painting is overall in good vintage condition.

    It is housed in a beautiful robust silver-grey wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Twilight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A blissful and serene painting executed in oil, depicting a flight of geese soaring across the sky at twilight, above blue oceans and grassland.

    Fine and light brushstrokes have been executed delicately, which wonderfully captures the tenderness of this moment- as the sunlight softly diffuses, before nightfall prevails.

    This oil on board is in good vintage condition, although there appears to be some marks from the previous frame that is visible on the outer edge of one side of the board. The work is housed in a thick gilt frame that has areas of marks and scuffs (as shown in the images)

  • A Memory

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This distinctly mid century abstract composition features a childlike play of form and lines that appear to be entirely un-representational of reality, and are therefore perhaps are a nod to the subconscious or nonconscious mind. Abstract pictures like these remind us of freedom, imagination and creativity. The artist has chosen not to be bound by the limits of reality, and has instead turned to ‘automatism’, which in art speak refers to creating art without conscious thought, accessing material from the unconscious mind as part of the creative process. This painting is reminiscent of the works by Joan Miro, who was also an artist who delved into ‘automatism’ in his works.

    The wonderful thing about paintings like these is that we can have wholly subjective views on what we see. For instance, this painting could remind us of planets, comets and stars dotted across the universe, and yet on the other hand perhaps we could instead be reminded of more earth bound materials such as fossils and rock striations.

  • The Wine Lodge

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking oil painting of a wine lodge in Ibiza, painted in 1952.  A neutral palette of  sandy brown, limestone white, blue and grey has been used, accurately capturing the landscape of Ibiza in Spain. The artist has painted in a modernist style, using geometric blocks, bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to paint this detailed composition. The painting has a beautifully matte texture, which gives this painting a tactility and a raw quality which is typical for mid century modernist paintings. Figures can be seen scattered throughout the composition, adding a narrative element to this interesting picture.

    The painting is housed in a stunning and robust champagne coloured wood frame, with a an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Lush flora is set amidst a row of houses, as a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in depicted coming down a pathway.

  • Hidden Views

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm and serene view of a hidden landscape, rendered in oil.

    Fine and soft brushstrokes have been executed so thoughtfully and delicately, complementing the tranquility of this outdoor scene; and painting is very well balanced with equal visual weight between the land and sky areas.

    The spaced out houses and trees in the middle ground have clear silhouettes but have been uniquely painted with a ‘misty glaze’ , further imbuing the work with an air of mystery.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner cream and gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks and scuffs (as seen in the photos).

  • L’Homme

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic miniature still life portrait, executed in oil.

    Depicting a middle aged man dressed in a blue coat seated on a chair, the artist has consciously chosen not to represent his facial features. The power of faceless portraits allows one to shift focus to explore more within the frame such as the brushstrokes, colours and composition. In this case, the light and cool colours used as well as the smooth brushstrokes are reflective and well-aligned to the man’s calm and composed nature.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones, that is overall in good condition.

  • Pointillist Path

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This calm and mellow landscape in oil is reminiscent of the pointillist works by George Seurat, where distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. Although not strictly pointillist, this painting certainly has elements of the technique. Short and distinct strokes that have been created with just the tip of the paint brush have been used to form this composition. However, there is an added complexity – each individual stroke, though small and short, has various colours mixed and blended within the one stroke. Each stroke of paint has been applied thickly, adding a wonderful textural effect and sculptural quality to the painting. The artist has also managed to convey a distinct sense of light and dark within the picture, capturing the shadows of the winter sun within the layered composition.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful distressed brown-beige wood frame with a deep profile and an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Building Blocks

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic mid century modernist oil painting, painted in 1960. Here, geometric forms make up the rural landscape, with planes of contrasting colours creating a sense of space and depth. The artist’s brushstrokes remain distinct and visible, with some areas of the canvas showing through, giving this painting that raw and typically mid century modern feel.

    The painting is housed in the original 60s wood frame which suits the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs all the way around, typical for its age, but adds to the charm of the overall painting.

  • Autumn Hare

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really unique semi-abstract oil painting of a hare in an autumnal landscape. One could be forgiven for missing the hare on first glance, as it almost blends into the grassy landscape. The artist has managed to convey the reality of catching a fleeting sight of a hare leaping through the grassy meadow – one blink and you’ll miss the little creature. Expressive brushstrokes in earthy colours of orange, rusty browns and reds, and greys and greens form the majority of the picture, with the stunningly painted hare starkly in the middle – its white ears and tail stand out from the background, drawing our attention lest we miss it.

    The painting is housed in an simple wood frame, which suits it wonderfully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame appears to have had some restoration work done to upper left and lower left corners, as shown in the photos.

  • Siblings

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic 1960s Swedish painting of 3 children, painted in an expressionist style. Layers of paint applied with a palette knife in a quick brisk manner create significant texture. A fairly muted palette of earthy colours have been used, but hints of bright greens, blues and yellow bring forth a three dimensionality to the painting. The composition is in itself unique – 2 children have their heads towards a third child in the forefront, whose side profile can be seen, and all 3 are set within an abstracted background.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a green border and a linen slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs commensurate with its age.

  • A Winter’s Day

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a farm situated in the the middle of a vast snow-covered landscape.

    The air is cold and still, trees are barren, and there is not a soul in sight.

    The artist has used a restrained palette comprising of shades of grey, white and unique touch of yellow; and together with the use of soft and light brushstrokes, it evokes an overall sense of visual calm and stillness in the painting.

  • Bottles & Baskets

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This vividly painted oil features a wonderfully balanced and rhythmic composition, created by the contrast of different shapes and colours.

  • Abstract Harbour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and typically ‘mid century modern’ oil painting on canvas, painted around the 1960s. Bold, rich colours fill the canvas with lines and patterns, both straight and curved. Although an abstracted picture on the whole, we are just able to discern a harbour scene, with a line of boats docked one next to the other. The masts and sails are what form the majority of this composition – the artist has taken advantage the different shapes and patters formed by the masts and sails to create a painting with a largely modernist ethos, focusing on innovation and experimentation with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction.

    The painting is housed in a gold painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs to the edges which are typical for its age.

  • The Straits

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century oil painted in a modernist style onto canvas. Expressive, multidirectional brushstrokes make up this striking composition in a cool toned palette of blues and greens. Standing on higher ground looking out, we see the tops of the houses and trees in the dip of the landscape, before it opens out to the sea. The angular outlines of the houses juxtapose against the free form of the expressive brushwork.

    The painting is housed in a silvery frame with red undertones and an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very finely executed oil of a waterfront promenade in Stockholm. Painted in an impressionist manner, the artist has used a wonderful palette of cool blues and yellows to render this seascape.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A simple yet effective composition of a potted plant painted in oil onto canvas.

    An energetic and picturesque oil painting of a coastal scape, executed in a semi-abstract manner.

    Featuring the endless ocean and sky, as well as a coastal cliff full of lush greenery, this work explores not only the beauty of nature, and also of colour, line and emotion.

    With a vibrant colour palette comprising shades of blue, green and tan, together with the swift and sweeping brushstrokes that have been so confidently executed, the artist has used the expressive possibilities of colour and line to convey the sublime experience in nature.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary vintage gilt frame with an inner white border. The frame has some marks and scuffs, which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

  • Silhouette

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic semi-abstract modernist oil painted onto canvas. We see here a black silhouette of a figure, set against an abstracted background. The artist has played with shape, form and colour, juxtaposing the rounded curves of the dark figure with the more formal geometric angles of the lighter background. The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.

    This striking painting is in fine vintage condition.  There are some areas of paint loss and craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. It is housed in a mid century cream frame with an inner fabric lined border, that has some marks and scuffs.

  • Golden Haze

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and elegant seascape in oil, painted onto canvas. A warm, golden hue blankets this oil painting, imbuing it with a palpably calming, soothing effect. This skilfully executed seascape features a soft colour palette, which when viewed closely reveals a complexity in its colour blending. The artist has captured the light of the evening sun, when the sky boasts pastel hues of pink, orange, yellow and blue. Below this large expansive sky, we see a boat docked by 3 warehouses that echo the colours of the subtle evening light. The large size of the painting accentuates the panoramic effect of the seascape and would make for a wonderful resting point for tired eyes.
