A stunning mid century Swedish oil on board, painted in 1964. A group of 3 bedouins sit to the right, with a single standing figure forming the focus of the composition to the right. In a typically modernist style, the artist has abstracted both the figures and the landscapes, using blocks of contrasting colour to create depth and a sense of space. The striking blue of the figures’ headscarves and robes contrast beautifully against the sandy browns and greys of the desert landscape. There is a wonderful stillness to the piece which adds to its striking composition.
The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A thoroughly atmospheric landscape scene, depicting a man walking in solitude through a nature trail. He is disconnected from everything else, and is absorbed in the tranquility of his sanctuary.
The artist has used a range of painterly and expressive brushstrokes, and a cool colour palette.
The size of the man portrayed pales in comparison to his surrounding; perhaps serving as a reminder of the insignificance of human life against the scale of the universe, and how we should not hold on to our worries too deeply.
Apart from some light stains on the canvas (as shown in the images), this oil painting is overall in good vintage condition.

A striking oil painting of a wine lodge in Ibiza, painted in 1952. A neutral palette of sandy brown, limestone white, blue and grey has been used, accurately capturing the landscape of Ibiza in Spain.

A calm and serene view of a hidden landscape, rendered in oil.
Fine and soft brushstrokes have been executed so thoughtfully and delicately, complementing the tranquility of this outdoor scene; and painting is very well balanced with equal visual weight between the land and sky areas.
The spaced out houses and trees in the middle ground have clear silhouettes but have been uniquely painted with a ‘misty glaze’ , further imbuing the work with an air of mystery.
This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner cream and gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks and scuffs (as seen in the photos).

This calm and mellow landscape in oil is reminiscent of the pointillist works by George Seurat, where distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. Although not strictly pointillist, this painting certainly has elements of the technique. Short and distinct strokes that have been created with just the tip of the paint brush have been used to form this composition. However, there is an added complexity – each individual stroke, though small and short, has various colours mixed and blended within the one stroke. Each stroke of paint has been applied thickly, adding a wonderful textural effect and sculptural quality to the painting. The artist has also managed to convey a distinct sense of light and dark within the picture, capturing the shadows of the winter sun within the layered composition.
The painting is housed in a beautiful distressed brown-beige wood frame with a deep profile and an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A really unique semi-abstract oil painting of a hare in an autumnal landscape. One could be forgiven for missing the hare on first glance, as it almost blends into the grassy landscape. The artist has managed to convey the reality of catching a fleeting sight of a hare leaping through the grassy meadow – one blink and you’ll miss the little creature. Expressive brushstrokes in earthy colours of orange, rusty browns and reds, and greys and greens form the majority of the picture, with the stunningly painted hare starkly in the middle – its white ears and tail stand out from the background, drawing our attention lest we miss it.
The painting is housed in an simple wood frame, which suits it wonderfully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame appears to have had some restoration work done to upper left and lower left corners, as shown in the photos.

This calming mid 20th century oil on canvas depicts a scene of a Spanish village with a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in the foreground.
It is the break of dawn, and the lady has just completed her first round of transporting the freshly harvested crops from the highlands down to village below.
Despite the hardships of her livelihood having to balance a heavy load on her head through rough terrains, her upright posture with her hands on her hips exudes strength and pride, and an impressive sense of balance.
This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Tage Gavik (1914-1981); who has used distinct brushstrokes and contrasting earthy colours to give rise to the various forms in this painting.
In good vintage condition, and comes unframed.

A very large and elegant seascape in oil, painted onto canvas. A warm, golden hue blankets this oil painting, imbuing it with a palpably calming, soothing effect. This skilfully executed seascape features a soft colour palette, which when viewed closely reveals a complexity in its colour blending. The artist has captured the light of the evening sun, when the sky boasts pastel hues of pink, orange, yellow and blue. Below this large expansive sky, we see a boat docked by 3 warehouses that echo the colours of the subtle evening light. The large size of the painting accentuates the panoramic effect of the seascape and would make for a wonderful resting point for tired eyes.
The painting is housed in an equally elegant large gilt frame which illuminates the painting further. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Confident, expressionist brushstrokes in saturated colours and bold outlines depict this pensive picture of two figures standing at a railway crossing. We witness here an artist seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, mustard and white, while skilfully combining these extremes without losing harmony within the picture. Within this almost ‘dirty’ palette, the artist and his energy comes through wonderfully.
The painting is housed in a distressed silver-grey wood frame with a deep profile, complementing the painting perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor areas of paint loss around the edges (as shown in photos) but because it is of a ‘distressed’ style these imperfections certainly do not harm the overall look of the framed picture.

A modernist take on a city landscape featuring flat planes of colour and distinct outlines. Geometric shapes and forms in contrasting colour create depth, while retaining a tendency to abstraction. A combination of a pastel palette, a focus on form, and a matte surface texture in thin layers of oil emphasise a focus on materials, techniques and processes. The subject matter too is very much a modernist one, with a focus on modern industrial life, which at the time of this painting being painted would have been a new and innovative concept.
This oil painting is housed in a robust distressed gilt frame with a white inner border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A beautifully gentle woodland landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas. Tall slender trees in contrasting shades of dark green and amber make up the main composition, yet the artist has made sure not to overcrowd the picture. A soft light falls washes over the painting, creating a warmth that seems to emanate from it. The spaces between the slender trees allow us to see both into the distance, as well as down to the forest floor, where the artist has used an array of colours in a cooler palette to convey a sense of depth. Working in short, soft brushstrokes, the artist has created both areas of flatter well blended colour as well as areas of textured impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud from the surface).
The painting is housed in a light cream and grey wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

There is a concerted focus on the effects of the natural light on the water, trees, and sky in this painting.

There is an overriding sense that here is a painting that is to be experienced, and not just looked at.
The artwork is housed in a deep light brown painted wood frame. Painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor marks and discolouration commensurate for its age, but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

This stunning abstract in oil is an excellent example of how simplicity can be beautiful. Splitting the composition horizontally into three separate sections (four if you look closely), the artist has captured the serene panoramic landscape of the ocean and sky. Perhaps you see something entirely different, but that is the beauty of the abstract. Regardless of whether you draw a connection to landscape or seascape or anything else for that matter, it is the qualities of colour here that is of importance. The lower section of cobalt blue draws our eyes in immediately, soaking us up in its richness. As we move our eyes upwards, strokes of darker greys and blacks guide us up into the lighter section of the painting, where sweeping strokes of soft pastel blues and greys carry us and our minds away into somewhere clear and calm.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous light grey frame that has a inner gilt and linen border that really makes the illuminates the painting.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and nicks to the outermost edges upon close inspection, but they are quite minor and certainly do not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

A bright and playful naïve composition in oil that captured our hearts instantly. Painted in 1984, there is a childlike quality and sincerity to this oil that has been achieved through the use of flattened perspective, thin detailed strokes, as well as a vibrant colour palette. Here a florist stands in the foreground arranging her bouquet, surrounded by beautiful buckets of flowers, as her assistant attends to an interested customer in the background. A row of colourful townhouses and the village hall line the top edge of the canvas, providing a sense of depth and space. The entire picture has been set against a lime green background, which brings the whole piece to life.
This oil is housed in a simple and modern white frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
