    An engaging and striking mid-century abstract landscape painting that  captures a dynamic and expressive interpretation of a vast horizon, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is structured into horizontal bands of colour, evoking a layered terrain of fields and hills, under an expansive sky. The painting’s abstract nature allows for multiple interpretations, and there is a focus on colour and form over literal representation.

    The artist has used a vibrant yet earthy palette, featuring warm oranges, greens, and fiery reds, contrasted against soft blues and off-whites. These colours are applied in thick brushstrokes, creating a beautiful textured surface. The expressive layering and gestural lines contribute to a sense of movement, as if the landscape is shifting under the viewer’s gaze.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some very minor scuffing to the frame, but it is in good condition overall. 

    Size: 50 x 70cm (including frame)

  • Coastal Road

    Coastal Road

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large mid-century modernist landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where a quiet road runs parallel to a shoreline, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition divides naturally into two sections: the vibrant blue of the sea on the left and the muted green of the grassy roadside on the right. In the foreground, a dry and sparse landscape is present, and a few scattered wooden planks rest on the ground. The distant horizon line reveals a subtle strip of land or an island against the vast expanse of sky.

    The artist has used a distinctly modernist approach, characterised by loose, gestural brushstrokes that emphasise texture and spontaneity. The composition has a balanced yet asymmetrical feel. The painting’s rough and textured brushwork brings a sense of immediacy and movement, as if capturing a fleeting moment.

    The palette is primarily composed of cool and earthy tones. The expressive brushstrokes wonderfully capture the windswept coastal atmosphere.

    This large oil on board is housed in a very well-suited linen lined frame with an inner gilt and cream border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 47 x 70 cm (including frame)

  • Golden Horizon

    Golden Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene yet energetic and beautifully textured mid-century abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Although abstract in nature, the painting captures the essence of a landscape scene, focusing more on colour, texture, and emotion, than on precise representation.

    The palette is dominated by rich yellows in the foreground, capturing the essence of sunlit plains or sand dunes. The middle and background areas feature shades of blue and teal, suggesting either the ocean or the edge of the sky meeting the horizon. Above, light blues and soft creams represent a broad, open sky, with fluffy, abstract clouds.

    The texture is highly expressive, with bold, sweeping strokes that give a sense of movement and dynamism to the landscape. The thick impasto application of paint, enhances the tactile quality and adds character to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing but nothing that detracts.

  • Rolling Green

    Rolling Green

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and painterly mid-century modernist semi-abstract painting that captures the rhythmic undulation of a vast countryside landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    Broad, gestural brushstrokes sculpt the rolling terrain into simplified, interlocking blocks of colour – browns, yellows, forest greens, deep olives, and inky blacks – evoking fields and hedgerows under a pale, overcast sky.

    Executed with expressive textured brushwork, the surface reveals a confident physicality, with layered impasto lending dimensionality and dynamism to the composition. The abstraction flattens perspective, allowing the eye to move freely across the surface in a meditative scan of form and colour.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame which suits the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs present.

    Size:  40 x 67.5 cm (including frame)

  • Symphony of Trees

    Symphony of Trees

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and brilliantly executed modernist style landscape composition that presents a stylised woodland scene reimagined through bold abstraction, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    Tall, vertical shapes suggest stands of trees rising in rhythmic formations, their trunks and canopies broken into geometric planes of green, and pale yellow. Rounded forms in burnt orange and deep red punctuate the foreground, evoking foliage or sculptural boulders, while angular planes of mauve, lilac, and blue sweep across the ground to create shifting patches of shadow and light. In the distance, softened silhouettes of hills and sky fade into pale blues and lavender tones, balancing the composition with calm horizontality.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist has used flat, faceted brushstrokes and strong colour blocking to reduce the natural landscape into a dynamic interplay of shape, hue, and texture. The surface is rich with visible, deliberate brushwork, where each stroke contributes to the overall rhythm of the piece.

    This is a quintessential example of mid-century landscape abstraction, where the familiar forms of nature are transformed into a harmonious geometric composition that feels both structured and lyrical.

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

    Size: 37 x 45 cm (including frame)

  • Patchwork Terrain

    Patchwork Terrain

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vibrant and energetic mid-century modernist painting that offers a bold abstracted interpretation of a landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Interlocking planes of rich colour – red, blue, orange, green and white – form an architectural patchwork suggestive of houses, hills, and cultivated plots. The upper section is dominated by a warm amber sky, radiating light across the structured terrain below.

    The artist’s stylised approach uses flattened perspective and cubist influences, with simplified organic shapes nestled among angular forms. Textural elements such as dotted foliage, hatch-like brushwork for crops, and directional strokes for terrain add rhythm and variety. The brushstrokes are deliberate and graphic, reinforcing the composition’s structured yet playful visual language.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing. 

    Size: 78.5 x 67.5 cm (including frame)
