  • Solitude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm, quiet and serene landscape painted in oil, dated 1960. It is early morning on a frosty morning, and rays of warmth have only just started to make their first appearance in the sky.  Three tall trees form the focus of the composition, drawing first attention. Traces of frost that have not yet been melted by the sun remain on the ground, but probably not for long. Forming a large proportion of this picture is the sky, where colours of blue, white and orange have been blended skilfully to capture the beginnings of morning light. We know this view that the artist has captured is only fleeting, as it won’t be long before the rising sun changes the light and landscape altogether.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous greyish-green frame and a fabric lined inner border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Passage

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but striking mid century abstract in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Although largely abstract in composition, we can just about discern a series of buildings, with tall trees dotted in and around them. To the lower left there appears to be a bridge or an aqueduct, where a small area of blue paint perhaps indicates the water running below it. The colour palette of this painting is largely restrained, with deep blues, greys and green taking centre stage. Vertical, downward, and distinct brushstrokes give this painting its modernist feel, and alternating light and dark tones create a sense of depth and space.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, with an inner hessian border. There are small areas of paint losses to the right edge and lower edge of the painting, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame is in good vintage condition.

  • The Wagon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A playful and vibrant scene of 2 figures with a donkey wagon, painted in a fauvist style. The artist has used an array of non-naturalistic colours in loose sections, and has simplified the subjects such that it leans towards abstraction. He has also applied the theory of complementary colours in this painting, where pairs of colours that are opposite each other on a colour wheel are used side-by-side in the painting,  making each other look brighter as a result. There is also a rejection of traditional three-dimensional space, as the artist has instead used flat areas of patches of colour to create a sense of pictorial space, drawing our attention to his use of bright emotive colours, simple shapes and painterly mark-making. We notice also that the artist has intentionally left areas of the canvas uncoloured and showing through.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century dark wood frame with an inner dark gilt border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Winter Blues

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but impactful modernist style winter landscape, executed in oil on board.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artwork depicts a panoramic snow-covered landscape street scene featuring a row of houses and barren trees.

    The artist has used the expressive qualities of colour and brushstroke to convey visual calm as well as the coldness of winter.

    A restrained palette of blue, white and black have been used, and this limitation of colours enables us to strengthen our focus on the various subject matter in the painting as our eyes progress through.

    Furthermore, the long and painterly sweeping brushstrokes add a wonderful textural feel, as well as create a sense of depth in the painting.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century hessian frame with an inner gilt window, and it complements the painting very well. There are some very minor marks on the frame as shown in the images.

  • Chalk & Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully textured coastal oil painting. The artist has used a palette knife to apply the paint, creating areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface). The artist has worked the paint dynamically, using quick and successive strokes to create this expressive and tactile piece. A soothing palette of blues, greens, whites, with orange and yellow details, imbues this painting with a thoroughly calming effect, and makes one think of lake holidays in the summertime.

    The oil on canvas is housed in a very complementary wood and gilt frame. It is in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 59 x 78 cm (including frame)

  • Down by the Water

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely bright riverscape view, painted in oil in 1957. The artist has used distinct, expressive brushstrokes throughout, giving us the sense that this was painted ‘en plein air’ (the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view). The artist has incorporated natural light, colour, and movement into this work, capturing the spirit of the river as it flows through the city. A set of steps can be seen to the right, encouraging us to imagine ourselves having just walked down, taking respite from the hustle and bustle of the busy city above.

    The painting is housed in a light grey frame, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • By the River

    Sold

    SOLD

    A Swedish mid century riverscape scene, painted in oil on 1947. The painting is compositionally very well balanced and has a lovely depth to it, which the artist has created through capturing several elements of the landscape in layers. Branches and leaves of a tree peek in from the left, directing our eyes towards the river water, with its swirling ripples. Our eyes are then directed upwards by the tall tree that is just off centre, which then leads us to the row of colourful buildings that sit along the river edge. The light blue of the sky is reflected in the windows of the buildings, and again in the ripples of the water, creating a nice flow and harmony within the painting. There are several details that slowly reveal themselves as our eyes rest on the picture, making it a very satisfying picture to look at.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which has a red border with gilt tints, and and inner beige window. There are some marks to the lower section of the frame, but otherwise the painting is in good vintage condition with no losses.

  • Snow Day

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderful little narrative painting depicting a group of people having fun in the snow. The artist has used a mainly pastel colour palette for the majority of the picture, but has included a pop of red and green that invite us in to enjoy the picture. A group of 3 figures building what appears to be a snowman form the centre of the composition. Framing them are houses to the eft and right, and several other figures and trees. The artist has used soft but sweeping brushstrokes to create this expressive narrative painting which adds texture to this lovely painting.

    This oil painting is housed in a very elegant frame with a gilt section and an inner light blue section which suits the painting and its colour palette perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunday Mornings

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully panoramic and picturesque large oil on board, dated 1944. Beautiful blue skies look down upon a rural farm scene, with cows lazing amongst the green fields. Post-impressionist elements stand out within this picture, such as the blue that the artist has used to render the way the light hits the trees.

    At almost a metre in width, this large yet calming landscape would make a statement piece in any interior.

    This painting comes housed in a gilt frame with black staining details, and is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Forest Lake

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This vibrant picturesque view of a forest lake draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including abstraction, cubism and fauvism.

    As we spend time to study its colours and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye. The artist has thoughtfully used blocks of contrasting rich colours to give rise to the various forms – as we can make out a lush forest being reflected on the clear waters in the lake, with 2 young bare trees growing in the foreground.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cycling Along

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A joyful painting of two figures cycling down a rural lane, painted in oil in an expressionist style. The artist has used a vibrant palette of greens, yellows and blues, and has executed the brushwork in a swift, expressive manner with confident, painterly strokes. This has created texture and a sense of movement within the picture. We could easily picture ourselves as one of the cyclists, with the warm salty sea air blowing as we merrily cycle down the lane, taking in the natural landscape, enjoying the carefree-ness of the day.

    The painting is housed in a unique mid century hessian frame, with inner and outer borders in dark wood. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Colour Blocking

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and characterful abstract painting, executed in oil in 1973.

    This work of art explores the beauty of colour, line and brushstroke. Using a mix of earthy and rich colours, the artist has thoughtfully selected and painted the respective contrasting tones into blocks of varying shapes with bold outlines, to create this stunning abstract pattern.

    The multi-directional brushstrokes executed vertically, diagonally and in circular motion further adds a light rhythmic touch to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, that has some minor marks.

  • Vantage Point

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and picturesque modernist style oil painting, presenting a panoramic landscape composition.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artwork depicts 2 figures on a path way, stopping in their tracks to admire the scenic views of white houses on a lush and well-coloured hilltop.

    This composition has been abstracted down through the use of distinct blocks of lively colours that harmonise wonderfully together, and that also demonstrates a sense of depth and width to the painting.

    Lightly textured brushstrokes have been executed on the canvas gently; instilling an overall sense of softness and calm to the work.

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

  • The Valley

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically mid century modernist oil on board, framed and ready to hang.

    Reminiscent of the landscapes of French painter Paul Cezanne, this large post-impressionist landscape of houses by the mountains carry those same distinctive repetitive and exploratory brushstrokes found in Cezanne’s work. The artist here reconstructs nature through purely painterly forms, flattening the space and using faceted brushstrokes. The planes of colour and small brushstrokes build up to form complex fields, creating a visual feast for the eyes.

    This well executed painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some very minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • CYPRESSES

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic atmospheric modernist style landscape of Provence, executed in oil in 1954.

    A group of slender cypress trees sit in the foreground of the painting, with pyramid shaped mountains set against the pale blue sky with grey undertones.

    Light brushstrokes and muted warm earthy colour tones including yellow and green fill the canvas,  imbuing this painting with both a tranquil and nostalgic feel.

    This oil on canvas is beautifully framed in a grainy wood frame with an inner and outer gilt window. The painting is in overall very good vintage condition although there is a small area of minor craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) commensurate with its age.

  • By the House

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The first of its type to be added to our collection, this unique artwork has been made through the use of dye on fabric (also known as batik).  Handmade by the established Swedish painter and sculptor Fabian Lundqvist, this striking artwork features geometric sections in contrasting colours of a restrained palette. The artist has used varying forms and shapes to create an abstracted image of a figure by a village landscape. The distinctive style and composition of this piece is typical of the artist’s oeuvre.

    The board on which the fabric is attached to is slightly uneven. There are some minor scattered surface marks to the fabric, typical for its age. The artwork is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffs to its edges.

  • Cadaqués

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and nicely textured modernist city landscape, executed in oil. 

    The work presents an architectural view of Cadaqués, a town in Spain. Rows of white stone houses with areas of greenery form this panoramic view; and the artist has selected a wonderful earthy colour palette of brown, beige and green tones that imbues the work with a sense of calm. 

    The painting is a visual feast for the eyes – with areas of heavily applied paint creating a raw textural effect that captures the rough and granular nature of the stone on the buildings.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a robust wood frame with unique beige and red undertones. There is a small scuff to the top edge of the frame, but this does not detract from the painting.

  • Neighbourhood Stroll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid century modernist style oil painting presenting an every day scene of a neighbourhood

    Two figures can be seen strolling down a pathway, as rows of houses and lush greenery fill the rest of the painting.

    A muted earthy colour palette of reds, browns and greens have been used, capturing the warmth of this neighbourhood.

    The artist displays his painterly skills – applying dabs of thick paint swiftly onto the canvas to create a raw textural effect and instilling the work with an energetic feel.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. There is some surface paint loss to the edges of the frame (as shown in the images), but this suits the overall vintage style of the painting.

  • The Canal

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vibrant and energetic impressionist oil painting presenting a river canal flowing through lush greenery a summer’s day.

    The swift and expressive brushstrokes convey a painterly illusion of movement from the water currents and swaying trees in the wind; and the impressionistic style and layered brushstrokes create great texture and depth in this work.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with patterned moulding and a linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to frame edges and an abrasion to the bottom edge of the frame (as shown in photo).

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderful and delightful scene of a garden party.

    Two ladies are sat on a bench, chatting away and drinking tea from a table with a beautiful floral arrangement, as they watch their 2 young daughters play nearby. The artist has composed the scene in an impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

    Short and swift brushstrokes have been used to capture the dappled sunlight shining through the trees and the open field on this warm summer’s day; and the overall composition has calm qualities and distinct elegance to it.

  • Window View

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quirky, cheery mid century oil of flowers on a window sill, painted onto canvas. Delicate white flowers sit in a decorative blue and red vase that is perched on a window sill, framed by yellow curtains. We can just make out the view out the window, where we see the tops of  several colourful buildings. The artist has painted in an expressionist style, with distinct brush strokes in vivid saturated colours, imbuing the painting with a merry, playful feel.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame that suits it very well, and brings out the colours in the painting. There are small areas of paint loss and craquelure to the lower half of the painting (as shown in close ups), typical for an oil of this age, but these losses are fairly inconspicuous.

  • Colour Town

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully framed abstract oil on board.

    A landscape of a town is just discernible – the artist has reduced its forms down to coloured shapes and patterns. There is a very satisfying rhythm to the abstract composition, and the manner in which it has been framed adds to its character.

    It is housed in a wide profile creamy grey frame with pink notes added that complement the painting wonderfully. Both the frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Misty Winter

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A subtle and sombre composition of a forest landscape, executed in oil in 1962.

    The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a vast snow-covered landscape filled with trees, as they fade into the distance.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette; and together with the use of very fine and light brushstrokes – he has skillfully managed to create a lovely soft and misty effect, as well as a visual calm and stillness throughout the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning ornate frame that pairs perfectly with it. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Tempest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons.  The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Beach

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A gorgeous coastal scape featuring 2 boats left ashore, amidst luscious plants by a secluded beach.

    The artist has used a light and muted colour palette; and what is most striking is the visible and energetic brushstrokes that have been executed with so much confidence and certainty in directional flow to give rise to the various forms.

    The painting is framed in a unique and characterful wood and gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The grain of the wood frame has purposefully been left exposed under the gilt coating, adding a wonderful effect.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Shapes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century oil painting shows distinct elements of cubist influences:  what appears to possibly be fishing nets drying along the coast have been reduced to simplified coloured shapes from different angles, resulting in a picture that appears fragmented and abstracted. Following the cubist ethos, the artist has broken down the landscape and the objects within it down into distinct areas, or planes. This has emphasised the two dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of realistic depth.

    This oil painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that brings out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Abstract Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking miniature landscape oil painting, executed in an abstract manner, painted in 1987.

    Upon first glance we notice the broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes filling up the canvas of this lively composition.

    As our eyes rest on the composition, we begin to take in the way in which artist has skilfully managed to abstract what appears to be a pleasant landscape (blue and purple skies in the background, lush greenery in the foreground) through the use of contrasting colours.

    This oil on canvas housed in a white box frame would make a lovely statement piece that would suit a shelf or a gallery hang perfectly. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The pins that have been used to fix the canvas onto the frame are visible around the outside edges of the frame, as shown in photos.

  • Autumn Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A dynamic expressionist oil landscape painting of 2 figures strolling through a winding country road pathway on a fine autumn day.

    The painting has been executed in a semi-abstract manner, with swift and scribble-like brushstrokes used to depict the foliage and water stream.

    Although the energetic brushstrokes imbue the work with movement and energy, the beautiful autumnal and soft colour palette  brings an overall sense of warmth and tranquillity to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed silver frame with red tints.

    Size: 69 x 81 cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.
