A small and visually impactful semi-abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

The surface is thick with textured impasto, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The composition is divided into vivid colour blocks—warm corals, sunny yellows, soft aquas, and hints of mint—intersected by expressive black and blue marks that suggest organic forms.

Lloyd’s use of thick paint application invites a physical response—you can almost feel the surface just by looking at it. This rich texture adds depth and dynamism, engaging the senses beyond the visual.

The loosely defined forms gives us viewers just enough to begin imagining plants and stems without being literal. Its small size encourages close, personal viewing. It feels like a private experience—something to be studied and absorbed in a quiet moment. A perfect example of how small artworks can carry a big impact.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

Apple Reflection
£405
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined mid-century still life that captures a crisp moment of domestic simplicity with photorealistic precision, executed in oil onto canvas.

At the centre, a knife rests diagonally on a highly polished surface, its reflection rendered with meticulous attention. Flanking it are three apple segments – one halved, one whole, and one freshly cut – each painted with soft transitions of red, yellow, and green, evoking ripeness and freshness.

The artist employs a naturalistic style with subtle tonal gradations and a restrained palette. The composition is grounded in realism, but the clean backdrop and stark contrast between object and reflection give the work a modernist sharpness. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with a finish so refined it nearly conceals the hand of the painter – typical of mid-century realism.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame . The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint peeling off on its inner section as shown in the photos.

Harvest Under the Canopy
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A rich and striking striking mid-century modernist figurative landscape composition, painted in oil and gouache by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

A group of figures is gathered beneath a grove of robust, twisting trees – likely harvesters at rest or mid-task, surrounded by produce and market crates. The scene hums with life, captured in abstracted yet recognisable forms. Deep blues, earthy reds, browns, and forest greens dominate the palette, contrasted with striking patches of orange and golden yellow that suggest dappled sunlight filtering through foliage.

Painted in a bold, modernist style, the figures and environment are rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes and geometric abstraction. The trees form powerful vertical rhythms while the figures, draped in rich fabrics, add weight and grounded intimacy to the scene. The brushwork is confident and gestural, emphasising mass and movement rather than realistic detail – imbuing the painting with a sense of warmth.

This oil and gouache on paper has been mounted onto board, and is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. There is a tiny bit of craquelure present in the middle tree but the paint layer is stable, and the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

Seated in Stillness
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An evocative modernist abstract painting that captures a contemplative figure rendered in bold, gestural strokes, painted in mixed media and dated 1973.

The subject is positioned frontally, seated against a patchwork of abstracted colour fields that imply an interior setting. A vivid orange dominates the figure’s body, outlined with raw yellow and offset by angular shadows in brown, crimson, and white. A striking cobalt blue cloth or object at the figure’s feet anchors the composition with a surprising burst of contrast.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work fuses figurative expression with abstraction. The brushwork is confident and layered, with rough, visible strokes and a painterly energy that emphasises emotional form over anatomical precision. The background moves from a cool, washed green to blocks of saturated red and earthy brown, creating tension and spatial ambiguity.

Overall, the painting presents a powerful study in isolation, colour, and raw human presence.

This mixed media on card is presented within a white mount and a gilt frame, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The painting has some craquelure present, but its overall condition is stable as it is framed behind glass.

Stillness in Blue Light

Sold

SOLD

A striking and uniquely textured mid-century interior still life that captures a moment of quiet elegance within an abstracted domestic setting, executed in oil and ink onto board.

At the heart of the composition is a white table rendered with gestural precision, holding a dark bowl of yellow fruit and a tall blue vase with two red flowers. The background unfolds in a layered wash of shadowy arches, pale teal walls, and textured architectural forms—suggesting a moody, introspective room awash with diffused natural light.

The artist has used a distinctive impasto technique, building up the surface with thick, expressive brushstrokes that carve out depth and texture, particularly in the arched doorway and floor reflections. A palette of deep ultramarines, smoky greys, siennas, and muted aquas sets an evocative, almost theatrical atmosphere. Linear incisions and palette knife work add to the painting’s sculptural quality, giving a sense of movement and tactile richness.

A quietly compelling composition that balances structure with emotion, light with shadow.

This oil and ink on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian lined frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

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)

Set against a loosely-rendered, wood-textured tabletop with blues and greens framing the background, the work evokes both structure and spontaneity.

Executed in a heavily impastoed style, the artist builds texture through deliberate, sculptural brushstrokes. The surface is rich with ridges of oil paint, applied thickly and expressively, lending dimensionality and movement to the otherwise still composition. Deep reds, moss greens, ochres, and navy blues dominate the palette, unified by the creamy whites of the bowl and accented by the textured backdrop.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century figurative painting that captures a lively outdoor gathering beneath two abstracted pine trees, rendered in bold, expressive forms, and painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

At the center of the composition, a group of stylised figures sits together on what appears to be a picnic blanket, sharing a meal or conversation. Their forms are simplified yet evocative, outlined with fluid, gestural lines that emphasise connection and warmth.

Executed in a semi-abstract style, the painting merges figuration with vivid blocks of colour and dynamic compositional geometry. The palette features warm orange, deep forest greens, and rich reds, offset by cool blues and white negative space that lends the work a breezy openness. The brushwork is broad and textured, revealing the artist’s confident hand and intuitive layering of paint.

Fruit & Brushes
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A painterly and expressive mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

This expressive composition offers a window into the artist’s studio through a rhythmic arrangement of objects – a terracotta vase, a lilac-toned pitcher, a cobalt dish of orange fruit, and a pair of blue tumblers holding delicate paintbrushes.

What sets this piece apart is the dynamic interplay of brushstroke and line. Thick, impasto layers are energetically applied, while the artist employs sgraffito – scratching into the wet paint with the back of a brush to reveal underlying tones and carve gestural lines into the surface. This technique adds both texture and movement, amplifying the painting’s sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

The palette is a sophisticated interplay of soft mauves, deep greens, and muted blues, set against a textured backdrop that shifts from diagonal to vertical strokes – echoing the tension between structure and freedom.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century interior scene that captures a quiet moment in a Scandinavian home, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1944.

The composition is anchored by a pale green tiled masonry stove – a traditional element of Nordic domestic architecture. A blue pitcher perched atop the stove adds a pop of contrast, while a single wooden chair with a blue upholstered seat invites the viewer into the space.

The composition leads the eye across a striped woven rug into an adjacent sunlit room, creating a gentle sense of depth and domestic continuity. Executed in a naturalistic yet subtly stylised manner, the painting reflects the mid-20th-century Scandinavian aesthetic of simplicity, functionality, and calm.

The palette is soft and harmonious, dominated by muted greens, warm browns, powdery blues, and hints of red in the rug. Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, lending a quiet clarity to the scene, while the treatment of light – softly diffused through the unseen window – imbues the work with a tranquil, timeless atmosphere.

This piece is both a nostalgic record of interior life and a meditative study of colour, form, and balance.

Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century Naïve style street scene that captures the rhythm and warmth of a local European town square on market day, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

Brushstrokes are direct and purposeful, with little blending.

A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.

Organic, curvilinear forms ripple across the canvas, overlapping and intertwining in a way that mimics the foliage that Frances is inspired by. She employs layered brushwork and soft transitions between tones, creating a gentle rhythm that guides the eye across the piece.

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A semi-abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

The pine cones and branches are rendered with bold, almost sculptural application of paint, and the artist has added a sandy aggregate, giving the canvas a textured, tactile quality. The diagonal sweep of the central tree branch and scattered cones conveys a sense of movement, as if observed in a moment of wind or natural disarray.

The background is filled with vertical strokes of cool blue-greens suggesting trunks or dense undergrowth, while the pale, almost snowy backdrop provides contrast and depth.

The sky dominates the composition, rendered in bold swathes of blue and overlaid with dashes of fiery orange, crimson, and yellow, suggesting a sun just dipped below the horizon. Below, the frozen river curves with movement, painted in cool whites and icy blues, while gestural patches of green, orange, and brown represent trees and terrain along the banks. A structure and a vivid red form – perhaps a vehicle or boat – add subtle focal points within the composition.

The brushwork is loose, gestural, and tactile, creating a sense of immediacy and atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is a small loss to upper corner of frame as shown, but it is otherwise in very good condition.
