    Quiet Hours

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and expressive mid-century interior still life that captures a quiet, contemplative moment within a rustic domestic space,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    A sunlit table by the window holds a cluster of everyday objects: a ceramic pot, a coffee grinder, and a single blue cup and saucer  – all rendered with dynamic and swift brushstrokes. Soft daylight filters through curtains, casting diffused shadows and illuminating the worn tabletop with a gentle, silvery glow.

    The artist has used broad, gestural brushstrokes and a muted palette of earthen browns, greys, creamy whites, and soft blues. The treatment of light and surface recalls Scandinavian modernist sensibilities, where atmosphere and introspection are prized over precision. The composition is anchored by bold tonal contrasts, yet the brushwork remains fluid and expressive, suggesting the transient nature of morning rituals and quiet solitude. A small potted plant on the windowsill adds a subtle warmth, hinting at life beyond the frame.

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

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Delivery Only.

    A large and expressive mid-century still life interior that captures a quiet, intimate domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1946.

    A white-clothed table anchors the composition, atop which sits a rustic bucket, a dark green wine bottle, and a wooden fruit bowl brimming with apples and citrus.

    Executed in broad, expressive brushstrokes, the painting embraces the earthy palette  – burnt orange, olive green, mustard yellow, muted blue, and chalky whites.

  • Afternoon Light

    Afternoon Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The painting presents a richly textured view of a domestic space segmented by walls and doorways, evoking a sense of both intimacy and distance, The composition leads the eye through a series of adjoining rooms, each anchored by angular furniture and luminous windows that suggest late afternoon light filtering in.

    Rendered in bold, sculptural impasto, the brushwork is confident and geometric, with thick strokes that emphasise form over fine detail. The artist has used a sophisticated, somewhat muted palette of teal, orange, dusty rose, blues, offset by accents of coral red and pale lavender. The use of repeated rectangular forms – windows, tabletops, and chairs –  imbues the painting with a rhythmic architectural quality.

    Stylistically, the painting straddles between abstraction and realism, with the recognisable elements of the interior flattened into colour blocks and strong contours, echoing the influences of both post-cubist and modern design aesthetics.

  • Interior with Red Chair

    Interior with Red Chair

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling and emotive interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1989.

    In this composition, the artist presents a loosely rendered interior scene suffused with mood and memory. A single red chair, boldly defined in the foreground, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s gaze. Behind it, a soft turquoise table supports a glowing white pot, while indistinct shapes and brushstrokes in the background suggest an intimate room.

    The style leans toward abstract expressionism with hints of figurative elements. Colours are layered in earthy tones – dusty reds, muddy browns, and muted teals – interrupted by flickers of yellow and white light that evoke a hazy, lived-in atmosphere.

    The brushwork is gestural and textured, varying from thick strokes to smoother, blended sweeps, creating a dynamic tension between solidity and blur.

    This atmospheric still life captures not just the objects themselves, but the emotional resonance of a quiet, familiar space.

    Light in the Study

    Sold

    SOLD

    An evocative mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic study scene rendered with modernist abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition is centred around a modest writing desk set against a softly fragmented wall, flanked by a chair and a stool. Overhead shelves cradle books and papers, while a stylised pendant light and a cupboard with colour-blocked panels add architectural intrigue.

    To the left, a vase of red tulips placed on a counter offers a splash of natural warmth, creating a gentle contrast with the cool, muted palette of mint greens, dusky blues, pale purples, and earthy brows.

    Executed in a flattened style, the artist plays with skewed perspectives and overlapping planes, lending the work a sense of spatial ambiguity and quiet introspection. The brushwork is smooth yet deliberate, with soft transitions in the background and more defined lines around furniture and decor, enhancing the painting’s structured yet intimate atmosphere.

  • Introspective Man

    Introspective Man

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract portrait rendered in a loose, painterly style. It depicts a seated figure at a table, surrounded by shades of blue and teal, which dominate the composition and establish a cool, contemplative mood.

    A tall vase of white flowers sits prominently on the table, painted with gestural, quick strokes. The flowers and green stems contrast sharply with the blue background, drawing the viewer’s eye.

    The surface is highly textured, with areas of impasto and visible brushstrokes, particularly around the figure and floral arrangement. A range of blues—from pale to deep ultramarine—forms the primary backdrop, softened by touches of brown, green, white, and flesh tones. A small patch of bright blue on the table adds a focal point in the foreground.

    This is a moody, introspective work that captures a quiet moment of solitude or thoughtfulness. The use of abstraction and layered brushwork conveys depth and emotion, while the limited palette enhances the sense of stillness and quiet. It’s a piece that invites reflection, both visually and emotionally.

    The painting is housed in a well suited silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.

  • Study in Repose

    Study in Repose

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed composition that presents a solitary, stylised nude figure leaning against a plinth in what appears to be an abstracted artist’s studio or model room, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Composed in 1972, the painting captures a quiet moment of introspection and stillness, with the figure’s curved posture offering a gentle contrast to the geometric rigidity of the surrounding environment.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is constructed from flat, overlapping planes in muted tones of olive green, slate blue, warm orange, and deep maroon. The palette is cool and contemplative, creating a sense of psychological distance. A bold vertical panel in ultramarine anchors the left side of the work, drawing the eye toward the model. The right side recedes into architectural partitions and screens, painted in icy blue hues that hint at spatial depth without offering realism.

    The artist’s brushwork is smooth and restrained, with minimal surface texture. Shadows and contours are suggested through tonal blocks rather than modelled detail, emphasising form over naturalism. This painting exemplifies a mid-century approach to figuration – introspective, architectural, and emotionally withheld – where the human form becomes part of a studied, constructed environment.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame painted silver. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Chair & Vessels

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small yet compelling mid-century modernist interior scene executed in a geometric abstraction style and muted tonal harmony, painted in oil onto board.

    The composition features a simplified domestic arrangement –  a wooden chair, a tabletop with ceramic vessels –  all rendered in blocky, interlocking planes. The artist’s approach flattens space, drawing influence from Cubism, while retaining the warmth and familiarity of a lived-in interior.

    The muted palette consists of greens, blues, and browns, evoking a calm, contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is assertive and sculptural, with short, directional strokes that build texture and form without over-modelling. Each object is distilled to its essential volume, balancing abstraction with recognisability.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping UK delivery only.

    A fun and playful large 20th century cubist composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1975 by Belgian artist Pierre Goossens.

    This painting is a vibrant and structured cubist-style still life, featuring a table densely packed with musical instruments and domestic objects, rendered in flattened geometric forms and bold, contrasting colours.

    At the centre is a large guitar, overlapping with a mandolin or lute, both abstracted into simplified, stylized shapes. A pair of green glasses or vessels, a red beret, and a bottle or vase are also identifiable among the layered elements. The tablecloth is covered with various patterned fabrics, adding texture and complexity. Behind the scene, an open window reveals a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds, bringing depth and a suggestion of an exterior world.

    The overall palette combines warm earthy tones (browns, reds, and ochres) with cool blues and blacks, creating dynamic visual contrast. The artist uses strong outlines and flat planes to define the forms, typical of the cubist and synthetic cubist approaches influenced by Picasso and Braque.

    This painting is lively and rhythmic, celebrating form and colour through a stylised representation of everyday objects in a domestic or café-like setting.

    This large oil on canvas is presented in a stepped black wood frame with an inner pale blue slip, which suits it well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some surface wear and scuffing but is in a good and stable condition.

    The Scalloped Basket

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vivid and striking mid century modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting is a semi-abstract still life with bold shapes and expressive brushwork. It features a dark bowl or basket with a scalloped white rim sitting on a patterned, richly coloured surface, possibly a tablecloth. Next to the bowl are two round yellow and green fruits, likely a lemon and an apple.

    The tablecloth has a fragmented, mosaic-like design in deep reds, blues, and blacks, creating strong visual texture and depth. The bowl or dish dominates the left side of the composition, with jagged white accents that contrast sharply with the dark background. The fruits on the lower right provide a pop of colour with their bright yellows and greens. The background wall is pale, divided into two contrasting patches of cream and olive green, adding to the geometric structure of the piece.

    The painting is expressionist in style, with loose, energetic brushstrokes and abstracted forms. It emphasises contrast—between light and dark, soft and sharp, warm and cool tones. The mood is introspective and slightly mysterious, inviting the viewer to interpret the scene beyond its literal objects.

    A very well executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil on board.

    This painting is a still life composition featuring an arrangement of bottles, jars, and vessels on a tabletop. It is probably an artist’s table , as we can see used paint brushes and palette knives in the bottles.  Rendered in a loose, painterly style, it captures the textures and forms of everyday objects with expressive brushwork and a subdued yet rich colour palette.

    The colour palette is primarily earthy tones—browns, muted greens, and soft blues—contrasted against a neutral grey-beige background. The light source is subtle, creating soft highlights and shadows, giving volume and depth to the bottles. The strokes are confident and expressive, emphasising form over detail, typical of a modern impressionist or post-impressionist approach.

  • Girl at the Table

    Girl at the Table

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist portrait composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1955 by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

    This painting is a stylized and abstracted portrait of a seated woman in a minimalist, geometric interior. The composition emphasizes form, structure, and contrast, blending figurative and abstract elements.

    The central figure is a girl with angular features, seated at a table with a few simplified objects in front of her. Her hair is short and dark, framing her face. She wears a yellow dress with bold, blocky shapes, adding a pop of colour against the muted background.

    The room is divided into sharp geometric shapes, with black, grey, and white tones creating a stark, cubist-like interior. Bold, thick black outlines define the figure and objects, contributing to the graphic quality of the painting. The colours are minimal, dominated by shades of black, grey, white, and beige. The yellow of the girl’s dress provides the only vibrant colour, drawing attention to her figure.

    The style is modernist with cubist and expressionist influences, focusing on abstraction and simplicity. Brushwork is flat and controlled, with an emphasis on bold lines and colour blocks over fine details. The deliberate simplicity and sharp contrasts focus attention on the female figure as the emotional and structural centrepiece of the artwork.

    The artwork is presented in a simple, light wooden frame, complementing the painting’s minimalist aesthetic. There is a very tiny spot of paint loss along the right side of the painting, as shown in close up, but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. There is some general wear to the vintage frame. commensurate with age.

  • Chair & Vase

    Chair & Vase

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and uplifting mid-century interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.
    The composition presents a warmly lit domestic scene, featuring a wooden chair with a glass vase containing lush green foliage. The setting is defined by a terracotta-tiled floor and a softly blended background, suggesting a tranquil, sunlit corner of a home.

Much like Van Gogh’s chair paintings, this piece balances structure with an emotive, almost raw interpretation of space and form.

    The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, lending the composition a sense of spontaneity and liveliness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited distressed wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some minor wear to the inner border of the frame but it is in very good condition otherwise.
