    A lively mid-century modernist style landscape oil painting, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

    The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained;  the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffing.

    Size: 37.5 x 44.5 cm (including frame)

    £410

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and serene mid-century modernist style landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition captures a tranquil scene anchored by two windswept trees standing sentinel beside a rustic wooden gate. The simplified composition reflects a distinctly modernist sensibility, stripping the scene down to its essential forms and rhythm.

    Rendered in a restrained yet expressive palette of dusky greens, blues and yellow, the painting suggests the stillness of early morning or the hush before a summer storm. The sky looms with weight, textured in wide, flat planes of grey-blue, lending atmosphere and depth to the horizon.

    Broad, gestural brushstrokes give the foliage of the trees a tactile quality. The rough, visible texture of the oil paint adds a sense of movement and immediacy. Subtle tonal contrasts in the fields beyond evoke a patchwork of earth and pasture, conveying both the simplicity and vitality of the rural environment.

    A rich and striking striking mid-century modernist figurative landscape composition, painted in oil and gouache by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    A group of figures is gathered beneath a grove of robust, twisting trees – likely harvesters at rest or mid-task, surrounded by produce and market crates. The scene hums with life, captured in abstracted yet recognisable forms. Deep blues, earthy reds, browns, and forest greens dominate the palette, contrasted with striking patches of orange and golden yellow that suggest dappled sunlight filtering through foliage.

    Painted in a bold, modernist style, the figures and environment are rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes and geometric abstraction. The trees form powerful vertical rhythms while the figures, draped in rich fabrics, add weight and grounded intimacy to the scene. The brushwork is confident and gestural, emphasising mass and movement rather than realistic detail – imbuing the painting with a sense of warmth.

    This oil and gouache on paper has been mounted onto board, and is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. There is a tiny bit of craquelure present in the middle tree but the paint layer is stable, and the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

    A very atmospheric and expressive landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It is a dynamic, abstracted landscape that captures the essence of walking along a windswept shoreline trail. It blends expressive brushwork, shifting textures, and a vivid, elemental palette to evoke both the physical and emotional experience of the coastline.

    Pink dashes and shapes dance across the centre, adding rhythm and possibly indicating human presence, wildflowers, or directional markers on a path. The brushwork is loose, textural, and emotionally charged, capturing fleeting impressions over literal depiction.]

    Overall, the painting conveys solitude, discovery, and elemental energy. It’s less about representing a specific location and more about evoking the feeling of being immersed in nature—the wind on your face, the shifting weather, the wide horizon ahead.

    A very atmospheric and expressive abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It captures the emotional essence of a coastal environment rather than a literal depiction, using abstract forms and a painterly style to evoke the energy, complexity, and richness of the scene.

    Earthy tones of red, brown, black, and orange dominate the central form, possibly alluding to rock formations, cliffs, or human structures. The bottom area is awash with cool greys, off-whites, and hints of gold, possibly representing a beach or tidal flat.

    The atmosphere is introspective yet vigorous, echoing nature’s forces—wind, water, erosion—while remaining grounded in abstract expressionism.

    The style is gestural and semi-abstract, reminiscent of mid-20th-century European modernism, where landscape becomes a conduit for emotional expression.

    A large and very atmospheric landscape painting, painted onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    This semi-abstract landscape powerfully captures the wild, changeable atmosphere of the Cornish coast, likely inspired by the moody environment near the village of Zennor in southwest England.

    The sky dominates the composition with a bold expanse of turquoise blue, suggesting a clearing or break in weather. A large, dark grey cloud mass occupies the centre, rendered with sweeping, smudged strokes that create a sense of motion and tension. Deeper greens, browns, and black at the bottom evoke moorland or rugged earth, painted with energetic brushwork and scraped textures.

    A serene and uplifting mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting captures a sweeping coastal road as it bends gently toward the sea. Modernist in its ethos, the composition is defined by its bold simplification of form – trees, path, and shoreline reduced to expressive, geometric shapes in contrasting colour.

    The brushwork is confident and flat, with areas of solid colour laid down in deliberate blocks, creating a sense of stylised stillness. Trees appear as abstracted vertical forms, their trunks and canopies subtly suggested rather than rendered in detail.

    Muted tones of green, grey, and earthy taupe dominate the land, while the sea is rendered in serene blues punctuated by white sails, adding rhythm and motion to the horizon. The sky, a dusty olive-grey, creates a harmonious counterbalance to the grounded palette below.

    £550

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    This painting features an abstracted coastal village scene, likely seen from across a body of water. The forms are geometric and simplified, with visible palette knife texture and thick impasto paint application, giving the surface a tactile quality.

    The rooftops are rendered in soft peach and pinkish tones, contrasted against cooler shades of grey, blue, and violet that suggest the sky and sea. The artist uses layered horizontal bands and angular structures to define the architecture and landscape, while the brushwork and impasto emphasize a modernist, impressionistic abstraction. The buildings are mostly blocky and flat, but their arrangement and the subtle changes in colour imply depth and perspective.

    The overall mood is tranquil and muted, evoking a foggy or overcast day in a quiet seaside village. Despite the abstraction, there’s a clear sense of structure and place, with the rooftops forming a cosy cluster amidst the misty surroundings.

    This is a serene and sophisticated landscape, abstracted to emphasize form, tone, and texture over realism, likely by an artist influenced by modernist and post-impressionist sensibilities.

    The painting is housed in a very well made and complementary frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist still life oil painting that captures a calm interior moment with a strong sense of geometry and structure, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The composition depicts a sculptural white chalice and a cluster of green apples arranged on a deep-set window ledge, overlooking a lush countryside scene.

    The composition is both minimal and expressive, with bold simplifications of form and an emphasis on flat planes of colour. The palette is rich and harmonious – cool greens and blues dominate the landscape beyond the window, while warm yellows and lime greens bring depth and contrast to the foreground. The sky is rendered in a serene powder blue, adding an atmosphere of quiet clarity.

    The brushwork is confident and textured, with visible strokes that provide a tactile quality to the foliage and surfaces. The artist has used broad, sweeping motions for the background trees, and more sculptural, deliberate application for the chalice and fruit. The overall effect is one of elegant stillness, where the boundary between inside and outside is both physical and painterly.

    Fragments of the City (Reserved)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.

    Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner. The architectural forms have been fragmented into angular, interlocking planes, and the cubist influence is evident in the faceted representation of buildings and their integration into the surrounding landscape.

    The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including pastel shades that harmonise with deeper hues of brown and red. The subtle blending of colours creates a cohesive and atmospheric effect, while the subdued tones evoke a tranquil, contemplative mood.

    The brushwork is expressive, with short, layered strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping strokes enhance the impression of architectural complexity and spatial rhythm.

    A small and very impactful mid-century figurative painting that captures a serene moment by the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

    The composition features two figures set against a vast, tranquil backdrop of sky and ocean. The central figure, dressed in a flowing white garment, carries a patterned bag, exuding a sense of calm and contemplation. A smaller figure, rendered in lighter hues, walks nearby, emphasising a sense of companionship or familial connection.

    The painting’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by minimalistic forms and a textured, almost naïve approach to rendering figures. The use of a muted, pastel colour palette – predominantly soft blues, whites, and sandy beiges – enhances the ethereal quality of the piece.

    The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture and layering, imparting a sense of movement to the otherwise quiet scene.

    This oil on canvas is creatively housed in a white painted rustic wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. There  is some age wear to backing frame panel but this is in keeping with its style.

    Size: 28.5 x 24.5cm (including frame)

  • Rural Abstraction

    Rural Abstraction

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and captivating mid-century landscape painting that presents a dynamic interplay between abstraction and representation, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a rural landscape dominated by an angular, white structure – likely a house or barn – set against rugged terrain. The composition balances organic and geometric forms, emphasising the contrast between man-made and natural elements.

    The piece embodies elements of abstract expressionism, blending gestural and textured brushstrokes with semi-representational forms. The fragmented, layered approach to the structure hints at collage techniques, while the landscape itself is rendered through broad, sweeping gestures.

    Earthy tones dominate the palette, with yellows, browns, and deep greens forming the background and landscape. The structure itself is highlighted with whites and light greys, accented by touches of muted blue.

    The artist has used expressive, textured brushwork, layering thick and thin applications of paint. Loose, bold strokes define the landscape, while the structure features more deliberate, angular marks, emphasising the contrast between organic scenery and constructed form. The brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and depth, giving the impression of a weathered, windswept setting.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to bottom left frame corner, but it is in good condition otherwise.

    The painting depicts a tranquil rural scene, dominated by a winding path leading towards a small, rustic red cabin.

  • Ice Fishing

    Ice Fishing

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century oil painting that captures the quiet moment of an ice fisher, seated beside a small sled on a vast, frozen expanse, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The figure is huddled near a freshly cut fishing hole, his vibrant clothing and gear providing a focal point against the endless white landscape. The distant horizon, painted in soft bands of pastel blues, greens, and violets, evokes the crisp stillness of a winter sky.

    Minimalist and impressionistic, the work favours capturing mood and atmosphere over intricate details. The artist conveys emotion through the restrained composition, focusing the viewer’s attention on the quiet perseverance of the scene.

    The palette is soft and delicate, capturing the serene nature of the scene.  The artist has used smooth, horizontal brushstrokes to build the expansive landscape and layered sky, while shorter, expressive marks define the figure and the cluster of dry grasses in the foreground. These contrasting textures add visual interest to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minot scuffing but is in very good condition overall.

    £535

    Available

    This serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape painting that captures the quiet stillness of a snow-covered shoreline, executed in oil onto board.

    A gentle path winds through the foreground, flanked by patches of exposed earth and subtle hints of foliage. Sparse trees – both evergreen and bare-branched – rise gracefully across the scene, while a frozen lake and distant forested hills fade softly into a muted grey sky.

    Rendered in an almost abstract style, the composition emphasises simplicity and mood over realistic detail. The artist has used a muted palette dominated by subdued greys, whites, pale yellows, and earthy browns, with soft green and red accents adding quiet contrast.
