A wonderfully atmospheric mid-century interior, depicting a quietly furnished living space viewed through an open doorway, executed in oil onto board and dated 1963.

Three angular armchairs occupy the foreground, leading the eye towards a vivid red feature wall and a set of glazed doors beyond. A suspended ceiling light, small writing desk and scattered furnishings give the room a distinctly lived-in quality, while the unusual elongated composition heightens the sense of looking into a private domestic space.

The painting has a modernist character, with the interior simplified into loosely defined planes of colour and slightly distorted architectural forms. Perspective is treated expressively rather than precisely: doorways tilt gently, furniture is reduced to angular shapes, and outlines appear to shift and dissolve into the surrounding paint. This gives the work an intimate, spontaneous quality reminiscent of mid-century European interior painting.

The palette is particularly appealing, balancing chalky whites, pale blue-greys and soft creams with warmer browns, muted peach and mustard yellow. At the centre, the striking red wall provides a bold focal point, punctuated by smaller passages of blues. These stronger shades enliven what is otherwise a beautifully subdued, almost sun-bleached palette.

Paint has been applied with loose, visibly textured brushwork, with individual strokes remaining apparent throughout. Areas of colour are layered and scumbled rather than smoothly blended, allowing underlying tones to show through. The slightly sketch-like handling of the furniture and architectural details adds to the painting’s immediacy and charm.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary muted grey wood frame with in inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

A charming mid-century interior that balances the intimacy of a domestic setting with a glimpse of the world beyond, executed in oil onto board.

The composition centres on a simply dressed table, upon which a single red-orange fruit rests, while an open doorway or window to the left reveals neighbouring rooftops, trees and architecture. A vivid red vessel on the sill provides a second small but striking focal point, drawing the eye outward into the distant view.

The painting has a distinctly modernist sensibility, with the interior pared back into broad, flattened planes and simplified geometric forms. Much of the composition is given over to the pale wall, creating a wonderful sense of openness and stillness. The cropped architectural elements and slightly unconventional proportions lend the scene an almost abstract quality, while the everyday objects give it warmth and familiarity.

The palette is beautifully restrained, dominated by chalky whites, pale cream, powder blue, soft grey and muted green, punctuated by the jewel-like reds of the fruit and vase. These small flashes of saturated colour animate an otherwise cool and contemplative composition.

Paint has been applied with soft brushwork, with areas of visible texture and gently worked colour preventing the larger expanses from feeling flat. The exterior view is handled more loosely, with small, expressive strokes suggesting foliage and architectural detail rather than describing them precisely. There is a lovely naivety to the execution that complements the painting’s modernist character.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

A playful and wonderfully characterful interior scene depicting a figure stretched comfortably across a sofa while a cat sleeps contentedly beneath, executed in oil onto board and dated 1991.

Surrounded by patterned cushions, a glowing table lamp and familiar domestic objects, the composition captures an intimate moment of everyday leisure with warmth, humour and a strong sense of personality.

Painted in a naïve, folk-inspired expressionist style, the work favours storytelling and decorative detail over conventional perspective. Bold black outlines give the figures and furnishings an almost illustrative quality, while exaggerated proportions and flattened forms lend the scene its distinctive charm. The painted frame is cleverly incorporated into the composition, extending the interior beyond the traditional picture plane.

The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by dusty rose, sage and muted olive green, cream, soft brown and touches of black, with small white dotted accents enlivening the surrounding pink walls. The brushwork is expressive and deliberately loose, combining broad areas of colour with finer linear marks, stippling and scratched or drawn details. Layers of visible texture and irregularly worked surfaces enhance the painting’s handcrafted, whimsical character.

This oil on board is presented in a substantial painted wooden frame with stepped, moulded detailing, that is intentionally integrated with the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuff marks.

A quietly evocative mid-century interior painting that captures a moment of stillness within a domestic space. executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition centres on a staircase landing with painted balustrades, illuminated by the soft glow of sunlight streaming through unseen windows. Reflections of the window panes dance across the wall, transforming an otherwise ordinary architectural setting into a contemplative study of light, shadow, and geometry.

Executed in a restrained realist style with subtle modernist sensibilities, the painting demonstrates the fascination with everyday spaces and atmospheric mood. The artist has reduced the scene to a series of intersecting planes and angular forms, allowing the architecture itself to become the subject. The absence of figures heightens the sense of solitude and invites the viewer to inhabit the space imaginatively.

The palette is beautifully muted, comprising smoky greys, warm taupes, deep umber browns, and soft sage-green tones. The luminous cream-coloured reflections from the windows provide a gentle focal point, contrasting with the darker vertical shadows that anchor the composition. These carefully balanced tones create a tranquil and introspective atmosphere.

Brushwork is controlled and understated, with smooth, blended applications of paint that soften transitions between light and shadow. Delicate layering and subtle tonal gradations lend depth to the walls and architectural elements, while the balustrades are rendered with slightly firmer, more defined strokes. The overall surface possesses a calm, velvety quality that enhances the painting’s meditative character.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary warm honey-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small areas of scuffing.
