Pears in a Bowl

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century still life painting in tempera, painted by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

In this excellent composition, three pears sit in a bright blue bowl atop a red table and set against a brown dotted backdrop

Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail.

The use of rich tempera hues lends depth and warmth to the scene. Every brushstroke is executed with precision, especially the intricacy of the surfaces, contributing to the overall illusion of depth and form.

This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has some light surface marks which are not at all obvious in real life, and the frame has very minor scuffs. Please note that there is some glare evident in the photos, due to the glossy surface of the painting.

Blue Tableware

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century interior still life composition executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is set in a dimly lit interior that exudes a moody feel. The backdrop is a shadowy blend of dark brown and dark green blocks of colours. In the foreground, a table emerges, revealing a well-arranged array of still life.

On the table, a selection of blue-toned objects commands our attention. A blue plate and a blue bowl sit gracefully between a spoon and a fruit, its smooth surfaces catching the faint light. A blue pitcher stands tall and is partially illuminated.

The artist’s use of colour gradient is masterful, emphasising the three-dimensional qualities of the objects. The dark and muted palette, combined with smooth brushstrokes, creates a sense of calm and introspection, as if capturing a quiet moment at night.

Clam

Sold

SOLD

A unique and captivating oil on canvas by contemporary Irish artist Jenny Belton.

Featuring a clam shell on a round box under a spotlight, this painting by Belton is a comment on the rarity of wisdom. In Belton’s words, “The chances of finding a perfect round pearl in a clam are 100,000 to 1. Wisdom is as rare.” The clam shell here is closed so the question remains as to whether or not there is a pearl to be found within.

Belton has a real knack for creating playful and experimental artworks, and this artwork and its irony is just brilliant. The painting has a ‘sister’ piece which depicts a pearl in a similar setting, which can be seen in the photos. Details of that painting are available to view here.

The painting is unframed but can be hung as is. It is in very good condition.

Jenny Belton is artist based in Dublin, Ireland and has been painting, drawing and making from a young age. Her main inspiration is mid-century art, sculpture, design and architecture in addition to abstract expressionism and the fauvist movement . She drawn to art that is accessible, inclusive and nostalgic and hopes to capture this in her own work.

Still Life with Lute

Sold

SOLD.

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.
