  • Nude on Couch (Very Large)

    £850

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A quirky and heavily textured mid-century figurative composition, painted on oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition offers a captivating glimpse into an interior setting where a nude figure reclines upon a couch, her posture relaxed with one knee raised. The subject’s gaze turns away, caught unaware.

    The couch where the figure lays captures our attention. Adorned with a striking floral print motif in shades of green and pink, it adds a dynamic burst of colour against the neutral backdrop.

    Beneath the figure, the floor unfolds in a black and white chequered board pattern. An apple with a single bite taken from it rests on the floor, introducing a subtle narrative element.

    Overall, it is a very thoughtful and interesting composition, with meticulous attention to detail as well as refined and heavily textured brushstrokes.

    This painting comes unframed, and is an oil that has been painted onto canvas which has been laid down to board, making the painting quite heavy. There is craquelure present to the upper left as shown due to thickness of paint.

  • On the Red Chair

    £980

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas and dated 1962.

    In this study of a nude figure, the artist has painted in an expressionist style, using broad and sweeping brushstrokes. The nude figure rests on a seat with a red covering, and echoed behind her is the same red fabric, presumably a curtain. The artist has intentionally left out any realistic details, focusing instead on the formal elements of colour, shape and form. The composition is very well balanced, and lighter pastel colours of the nude figure juxtapose brilliantly with the deeper and richer colours that surround her.

  • Still Life with Lute

    £1,300

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still-life modernist composition dated 1959, painted by the listed artist Arnold Eres (1917-1986) who is represented in public collections in Sweden.

    Reminiscent of the well-known post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh, this piece by Eres is also characterised by bold, symbolic colours, and dramatic, impulsive and highly expressive brushwork. In this composition we see a lute by a vase of flowers. Broad brushstrokes and thickly applied paint make up this rich and textured painting which has so much to offer viewers. A wonderful detail worth noticing is the mosaic-tiled table that the vase sits upon, which plays off the colours of the background. The artist has also played with forms and shapes, creating a distinctive rhythm within the painting, such as where the bold lines in the vase are echoed in the strings of the lute.

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

  • Lone

    £820

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well done mid century modernist portrait composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A single seated figure sits alone, looking out as us viewers. Her expression is gentle, yet there seems to be a sternness about her – her hands sit clasped atop a table. Her elongated figure is reminiscent of Modigliani, but overall composition also brings to mind the painting ‘Whistler’s Mother’. She has that same steady gaze as well as an air of infinite patience.

    Above her is a monochrome portrait of a male figure, which could be her late husband. Perhaps one of the most brilliant aspects of this painting is what is to her right – the netted voile curtains. The artist has captured the texture of it wonderfully, and we also see  little plant pot on the window sill which adds a homeliness to the painting.

    Overall, the painting is brilliantly executed and exudes such a distinctive character.

    This oil on board is housed in a dark gilt frame which suits it wonderfully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition .

The palette is warm and earthy, largely comprising the rich tones of brown and green.

  • Home Studio

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and brilliantly detailed mid-century composition of an interior setting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The setting takes place in a wonderfully ‘lived-in’ home studio, with an interesting array of objects, furniture and artist tools depicted within picture. Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist’s brushstrokes are short and swift, lending an energetic and spontaneous quality to the piece. The loose style of painting further emphasises the immediacy of the moment captured. Although no one is present in the scene, there is a sense the artist has only just left and will return shortly – his or her palette is still visible with paint on, a pot of brushstrokes on the table behind, and a chair immediately in the front of the table.  On the left, we also get a glimpse of a view outside the studio.

    The artist has used a rich and uplifting colour palette, adding a lively feel to the work. Each object is represented with a spectrum of colours, enhancing their three-dimensional forms and inviting the viewer to explore their detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The painting is filled with rich and uplifting colours.

    What makes this painting truly unique is the extension of the painted frame, seamlessly blending with the scene. The frame becomes an integral part of the composition, extending beyond the canvas to create a sense of continuity, and adds an extra layer of dimension to the artwork.

The figure, who is the focal point of the composition, is dressed in a vibrant red and yellow attire, and has her gaze faced downwards and appears to be in thought.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist explores the use of contrasting colour and brushstrokes to create this wonderful composition. The colour palette is a skilful selection of hues that evoke positive emotions, enhancing the overall uplifting atmosphere of the painting, and the gentle brushstrokes add a sense of tranquillity to the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in distressed light wood frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age wear but this is in keeping with its vintage look.

    Double Sided Portrait I

    £165

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intriguing double sided oil on board:  one side depicts a pair of women looking into a book, and the other side features a striking single portrait of a woman.

    The painting of the two ladies with the book is very textured, with multi directional and distinct brushstrokes creating a very dynamic and layered image. On the other side, the portrait of the woman is smoother in texture overall, but still has a very three dimensional effect. The woman has an air of mystery about her, leaving us wondering what she might be thinking about.

    Painted onto board, both paintings are in very good vintage condition and can be displayed on either side. There is some slight paint loss to the very edges of the board but certainly does not detract from the overall charm of either picture. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. Should you wish to have it framed and would like our assistance, you can contact us via email info@discerningpalette.com.

    The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the figures and objects in a unique and striking blue outline, enhancing their distinct forms and inviting the viewer to explore their detail.

    Upon close inspection of the painting, we can notice that the artist has layered rich and contrasting shades, demonstrating depth and visual interest to the painting.

    The brushstrokes have been executed with remarkable confidence and expressiveness, capturing the fleeting moment of tenderness with a sense of spontaneity and authenticity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting has some very light surface marks at the bottom right, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some scuffs.

  • The Red Couch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed and striking mid-century modernist style composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

    The painting depicts an interior setting where a female figure is poised on a vibrant red couch beside a striking yellow table. She is holding a white napkin, and there is a bowl placed beside her on the table.

    The modernist style of the artwork manifests in the reduction of the composition to blocks of contrasting shades, accented by precise black outlines that highlight the respective forms.

    The artist has intentionally omitted the figure’s facial details, and the rich colour palette as well as expressive brushstrokes imbue the work with liveliness.

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

    Size: 65 x 78 cm (including frame)

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

  • Gleam

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoughtful and expressive modernist style portrait, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artwork depicts a side profile view of a young figure dressed in blue clothing, and standing beside a lamp. The lamp is glowing with warm orange light, resulting in the figure’s hair and small parts of his silhouette to have an orange gleam as well.

    Set against a light beige background, the artist has used a range of luminous colours including orange, purple, blue and green, and displays effective painterly skills in the medium of oil. Beautifully distinct and expressive brushstrokes fill the canvas, creating a vibrant and almost translucent and diaphanous effect that resembles the nature of watercolour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a white wooden frame with gilt and linen details. The painting has some minor scuffs, but overall the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 71 x 61 cm (including frame)
