    A dramatic and atmospheric mid century landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    This picturesque composition of nature presents a row of houses in an open field, under a stunning sunrise yellow sky.

  • Portrait in Sepia

    £520

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.

    With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture. Behind the figure appear several more heads, so we get a sense that she is perhaps standing amongst a crowd, but the artist has chosen her specifically as the protagonist of the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in original mid century gilt frame with linen border. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

    An expressive mid century modernist composition of a dockside, executed in oil onto board.

    A large white boat that punctuates the center of the painting has just docked, and on the left, we can spot a few figures by the water.

    A plethora of beautiful muted pastel colours have been used to render this composition, adding an uplifting feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey wooden frame. There are some area of paint loss to the frame’s edges as shown. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    Construction 2

    £300

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional work features cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials.  It is a fine example of technical mastery and the organisation of material. Here the role of the artist as ‘painter’ has been re-imagined – the artist is an engineer wielding tools instead of a painter holding a brush. The art has been ‘built’, rather than emerging from an expressive impulse or an academic tradition. As a result, the artwork is intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.

    Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 38 x 48 cm (including frame)

    This painting matches perfectly with another piece by the same hand, and you can purchase them as a set here.

Abstract in composition, the artist has focused on texture and colour, creating a wonderful depth and interest through the use of layers of colour and texture. Osswald has added an aggregate to the paint, creating very distinct impasto and a three dimensional effect.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There are some water marks to the left side of the painting, although it looks like this might have occurred during the time of painting and not afterwards, so it might be intentional on the artist’s part.
