Golden Drift

Sold

SOLD

A serene and atmospheric abstract landscape that captures the quiet poetry of an open horizon rendered through expressive texture and colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1994.

The composition is anchored by a band of deep browns, charcoals and soft whites that suggest distant landforms or shifting terrain, while the foreground dissolves into warm ochres, honeyed yellows and sandy neutrals. Above, a vast expanse of pale sky – softly blended in tones of white, cream and frosted blue evokes a sense of calm, openness, and gentle movement.

Executed in an abstract, modernist style, the painting relies on suggestion rather than literal detail. Broad, confident brushstrokes move horizontally across the canvas, creating a sense of depth and natural flow. Areas of impasto add tactile richness, with strokes layered and textured to mimic geological or weather-worn surfaces. The overall effect is both soothing and energetic, a landscape distilled to its essential mood and rhythm.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs present.

Hillside Pathway

Sold

SOLD

A joyful and pleasant mid-century landscape that captures the essence of a bright day, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition centres on a winding path that gently curves upward between two softened, block-like structures – suggesting houses – positioned on either side. Lush, expressive greenery flanks the path, giving the scene a sense of movement and breezy energy.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting favours simplified forms, bold shapes, and confident, gestural brushwork over fine detail. The palette is uplifting and crisp: vivid turquoise skies, velvety greens, sandy browns, and touches of warm terracotta on the rooftops.

Broad, sweeping strokes convey the foliage with speed and spontaneity, while the smooth, curved brushwork of the path introduces calmness and flow. The overall effect is fresh and optimistic, and captures the simple pleasure of a hillside walk.

Light Over the Valley

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modern semi-abstract landscape that distils the countryside into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and light, executed in oil onto board.

Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, leading the eye towards a tranquil body of water and a scattering of farm buildings nestled beneath distant blue-grey hills. A small stand of stylised trees anchors the composition, lending both rhythm and balance to the expansive scene.

Executed in a distinctly Scandinavian modernist manner, the painting favours simplification over detail, reducing the landscape to broad geometric forms and carefully calibrated planes of colour.

The palette is soft and restrained, dominated by creamy whites, muted sage greens, pale yellows, and layered blues that recede gently into the horizon. Subtle touches of lavender-grey and warm earth tones add depth and atmosphere, while the luminous sky bathes the entire scene in a delicate, diffused light.

Brushwork is controlled, with smooth, flattened areas of paint creating a velvety surface. Gentle layering and subtle tonal shifts provide depth without disrupting the composition’s calm simplicity.

Mediterranean Escape

Sold

SOLD

A well executed mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

This sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape is rendered in broad, expressive brushstrokes with a modern, impressionistic touch. It captures a seaside scene full of warmth, movement, and coastal charm.

The foreground is dominated by lush green foliage, painted with bold, confident strokes. The greens vary in hue, creating depth and rhythm.

A whitewashed building with an orange-tiled roof is partially obscured by greenery. This architectural touch gives the scene a sense of place, suggesting somewhere Southern Europe.

Behind the building, a sliver of deep blue sea stretches across the canvas, meeting the sky and separated by rocky coastal formations and windswept trees, their simplified, curved forms bending toward the sea.

The brushwork is loose, gestural, and painterly, favouring emotion and movement over precision. The artist uses a limited but harmonious palette of greens, creams, ochres, blues, and terracotta, invoking the feel of a hot, breezy afternoon.

This oil on canvas is set in an elegant linen and silver frame, lightly textured, which adds a touch of refinement while echoing the sun-bleached tones of the scene. The painting is excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age marks to the linen border.

Old Wall Patterns

Sold

SOLD

A lyrical landscape that captures the poetry of the countryside through colour, texture, and memory, painted in oil onto canvas.

A winding pale path or stone wall meanders through rolling fields, leading the eye gently into the distance. The landscape unfolds in layers of soft golds, muted greens, russet reds, and dusky mauves, creating a patchwork of fields and vegetation that feels both observed and imagined. A hillside rises across the middle ground, dotted with delicate tree forms rendered as decorative marks and textured clusters, giving the scene a tapestry-like quality.

The title suggests that the landscape is shaped by the enduring presence of old boundary walls—those subtle human interventions that become absorbed into the natural rhythms of the land over time. The pale, serpentine line crossing the composition acts as both a visual guide and a reminder of the history embedded in the terrain.

The artist’s handling of paint is expressive and atmospheric. Layers of translucent colour, scratching, and textured brushwork create a sense of depth and weathered age. Rather than describing every detail, she evokes the feeling of a landscape shaped by seasons, memory, and time.

This oil on canvas is framed in a custom made wide profile frame that suits it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Quiet Fields

Sold

SOLD

A calm mid-century composition that presents a serene, pared-back landscape where open fields stretch toward a low horizon line punctuated by a small cluster of distant farm buildings, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

A solitary structure – possibly a barn or haystack – anchors the composition, subtly drawing the eye while preserving the painting’s overall sense of stillness and space. The foreground is rendered in darker, earthy tones, gradually giving way to lighter, muted fields that lead into an expansive, softly washed sky.

Stylistically, the work leans toward minimalism and tonal abstraction, characteristic of mid-century landscape painting. The artist has simplified forms and reduces detail, allowing atmosphere and composition to take precedence over realism. There is a quiet balance between geometry and softness – the fields are divided into gentle planes, yet edges remain blurred and understated.

The colour palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by cool, pale blues in the sky and warm, sandy beiges and greys across the land. Subtle transitions between tones create depth without sharp contrast, evoking a calm, almost contemplative mood.

Brushstrokes are loose and have been applied with a light, confident touch. The paint is thinly layered in areas, allowing underlying tones to breathe through, while slightly thicker applications in the foreground add weight and texture. The overall handling feels intuitive and unforced, enhancing the painting’s quiet, meditative quality.

This oil on board is housed a beautiful wood frame with a layered profile and an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks.

Quiet Passage

Sold

SOLD

A beautifully atmospheric mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet rhythm of a valley through expressive colour and simplified form, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling hills frame an open plain, while hints of fields and pathways emerge from broad, gestural passages of paint. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist evokes the sensation of moving through an expansive countryside, where changing light and shifting weather become the true subject.

Painted in a lyrical, semi-abstract modernist style, the composition balances recognisable landscape elements with confident abstraction. Forms dissolve into blocks and planes of colour, creating a harmonious interplay between structure and spontaneity. The expansive sky occupies much of the composition, lending the work a wonderful sense of openness and calm.

The palette is soft and understated, featuring airy blues, sage green, muted teal, dusty pink, warm browns, sandy beige and touches of terracotta, all enlivened with creamy white highlights.

Expressive brushwork is central to the painting’s appeal. Thick, painterly strokes are applied with confidence, with palette-knife-like marks adding texture throughout the surface. Sweeping gestures define the sky, while shorter, layered strokes build the landscape below, allowing colours to overlap and intermingle. The result is a work that feels both immediate and contemplative, celebrating the expressive qualities of paint as much as the landscape itself.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt wood frame surrounded by a wide textured linen slip. Both the painting and frame are is in excellent vintage condition.

Quiet Shoreline

Sold

SOLD

A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape depicting a quiet waterside scene beneath a luminous, overcast sky, executed in oil onto board.

Dense trees anchor the composition on the left, their rich foliage contrasting beautifully with the expansive sweep of pale water and sky beyond. In the distance, a solitary sailboat glides across the calm surface, while a faint shoreline dissolves into the atmospheric haze, creating an impression of remarkable depth and serenity.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting captures the essence of the landscape rather than its precise details. Broad, confident brushstrokes and softly blended passages allow forms to emerge naturally, lending the work a quiet spontaneity. The restrained composition embraces negative space, with the vast sky becoming as important as the land itself, reinforcing the painting’s contemplative mood.

The palette is beautifully understated, composed of muted greys, soft blue-greens, sage, olive, and deep forest tones, gently enlivened by touches of warm browns along the shoreline. The subtle tonal transitions between sky and water create an almost ethereal atmosphere, while the darker mass of trees provides a striking visual counterbalance.

Brushwork varies from expressive, layered strokes within the foliage to delicate, feathered applications across the water and sky. This contrast between richly textured foreground elements and the softly painted distance creates a convincing sense of perspective and invites the viewer into the peaceful stillness of the scene.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a gently distressed cream finish, and complemented by gilt detailing around the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there is some light craquelure visible on the inner top white section of the frame.

A lively mid-century painting that captures a tranquil riverside scene, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

The composition featuring cottages nestled among tall, leafy trees. A pathway curves along the water’s edge, leading the viewer’s eye toward the cluster of houses – one painted in a soft blue and others in bold reds. Their reflections shimmer on the rippling surface of the river, broken into painterly fragments of green, blue, and brown.

Executed in an expressive, modernist manner, the painting emphasises bold form and movement over fine detail. The composition conveys a sense of immediacy, as though painted en plein air, with a strong focus on colour harmonies and gestural energy.

The palette is vibrant yet balanced. The brushwork is broad, dynamic, and confident, laid down in thick, angular strokes that create rhythm and texture.

Snowlight

Sold

SOLD

A large and gentle mid-century landscape that captures a serene winter hillside viewed through a stand of slender trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

Nestled among the muted mauves and soft earth tones are small snow-covered cottages, partially hidden within the landscape and lending the scene a quiet, almost contemplative atmosphere. The composition draws the eye inward through the vertical rhythm of the pale tree trunks, creating depth and stillness against the distant rolling hills.

Executed in a soft modernist style, the painting balances abstraction and representation with remarkable restraint. The palette is delicate and atmospheric, featuring powder blues, lavender greys, blush pinks, soft sage greens, and creamy whites that evoke the hush of winter light.

The Quiet Whisper of Trees

Sold

SOLD

A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a pared-back scene defined by restraint and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two slender trees rise gently from an open, muted expanse, their forms softened and slightly blurred as though caught in a passing breeze or remembered at a distance. Behind them, a low, undulating horizon stretches quietly across the composition, anchoring the scene with a subtle sense of depth.

The artist has used a minimal, almost abstracted approach: foreground and background dissolve into one another through thin washes and softly layered tones. The palette is beautifully subdued, composed of warm taupes, soft greys, and pale stone hues, punctuated by a sweep of dark blue along the distant ridge. This restrained colour story enhances the painting’s calm, meditative quality.

Brushwork is loose and expressive, with feathery, gestural strokes defining the foliage and more fluid, diluted applications across the ground. The surface reveals moments of transparency where the canvas breathes through, adding to the sense of lightness and quiet openness.

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

Through the Pines

Sold

SOLD

A peaceful and large mid-century landscape where a woodland scene unfolds along a gently winding path that disappears into a dense stand of towering pine trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

Sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating the track and patches of grass while drawing the eye into the cool, shaded depths of the forest. The composition captures the quiet beauty of an untouched landscape, balancing the vertical rhythm of the tree trunks with the soft curve of the path.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work simplifies natural forms into bold, expressive shapes while retaining a strong sense of atmosphere. Rather than pursuing fine detail, the artist focuses on light, colour and movement, creating an impressionistic interpretation of the landscape.

The palette is fresh and harmonious, dominated by layered greens ranging from deep evergreen to luminous yellow-green, complemented by earthy browns and soft sky blues. Sunlit passages of creamy white and pale lemon create striking contrasts against the cooler shadows, lending the painting a bright, optimistic quality.

Confident, painterly brushstrokes define the composition. Broad, fluid strokes build the foliage, while long vertical marks articulate the tree trunks with rhythmic energy. Loose, visible applications of paint suggest rather than describe the landscape, allowing colour and gesture to convey the sensation of dappled light and the stillness of the forest. The result is an expressive, inviting composition that celebrates the beauty of the natural world through a modernist lens.

Under an Open Sky

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A serene mid-century landscape that captures the expansive beauty of a tidal estuary or coastal marsh, executed in oil onto canvas.

Broad stretches of pale sand and shallow water merge seamlessly with fresh green meadows beneath a vast, cloud-filled sky. A distant blue ridge anchors the horizon, while weathered timber posts punctuate the foreground, subtly guiding the eye through the open landscape. Rather than focusing on precise topographical detail, the artist conveys the quiet atmosphere and luminous quality of the scene.

Thin, layered strokes and lightly textured surfaces allow subtle variations of colour to emerge, while a handful of darker, gestural marks describing the timber posts provide rhythm and visual structure.

Verdant Passage

Sold

SOLD

An energetic and gestural abstract landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2015 by post-war Swedish artist Bo Swenson (1932–2022), whose artworks have been displayed in major public collections including the Swedish National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.

The artwork evokes the sensation of moving through a lush woodland rather than depicting it literally. Broad vertical forms suggest tree trunks, while sweeping fields of green hint at dense foliage, filtered light and the layered depth of a forest interior. The composition balances recognisable natural references with expressive abstraction, inviting viewers to complete the landscape through memory and imagination.

Executed in a distinctly gestural, modernist style, the painting favours spontaneity and movement over precise representation. Confident, oversized brushstrokes overlap freely, creating a lively interplay between solid forms and open passages of exposed canvas. Vertical black marks establish a rhythmic structure, while loosely applied green shapes soften the composition. The result is both dynamic and contemplative, capturing the atmosphere of nature through gesture rather than detail.

The palette is refreshingly vibrant, dominated by varying shades of rich greens. These are balanced with creamy ivory, warm buttery yellows and deep charcoal accents, producing striking contrasts that simultaneously convey freshness, light and shadow. The restrained colour selection allows subtle tonal shifts to create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony.

Brushwork is bold, immediate and highly expressive. Thick, loaded strokes sit alongside dry-brushed passages, adding texture to the surface. Sweeping arcs, broad painterly blocks and quick linear gestures overlap in an intuitive rhythm, while occasional exposed areas of ground provide breathing space within the composition. The visible hand of the artist imbues the painting with a sense of energy and confidence, making it highly engaging.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Hillside Rhythm

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant mid-century modernist landscape composition that captures an undulating terrain rendered in bold, sculptural brushstroke, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is abstracted into rhythmic forms where rounded hilltops and faceted slopes are expressed through confident sweeps of the brush, giving the land a sense of movement and tactile energy.

The colour palette is rich – cool sage, olive, and moss greens intersect with muted stone greys and soft sky blues, creating a harmonious balance between earth and air. The sky is painted in a smooth gradient of pale blue, acting as a calm contrast to the dynamic, textured land below. Each stroke is deliberate and expressive, laid down with visible directionality, giving the impression of wind pushing across the hillsides.

Painted with an almost sculptural quality, the brushwork creates volume and light without relying on fine detail – typical of the mid-century Scandinavian modernist approach, where form and rhythm take precedence over realism.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows some age-related marks and has a section missing on the right side.

The Last Pine

SOLD

An atmospheric mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene alpine lakeside scene, where a solitary windswept pine stands against a vast expanse of calm blue water and distant snow-covered mountains, executed in oil onto board.

The composition balances openness and quiet drama, with the lone tree acting as both focal point and anchor within the expansive natural setting. Dark rocky forms along the shoreline contrast beautifully against the crisp mountain ridge and luminous sky, giving the work a contemplative and almost cinematic atmosphere.

Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting combines expressive brushwork with simplified forms typical of mid-century landscape painting. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest the rugged terrain and mountain contours, while softer blended passages in the sky create a sense of stillness and depth. The tree itself is rendered with elegant linearity, its sparse foliage painted in quick textured marks that lend movement and character.

The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by cool tones of cerulean, deep lake blue, charcoal black, and snowy whites, offset by touches of earthy browns, moss green, and burnt sienna in the foreground vegetation.

Where the Trees Gather

Sold

SOLD

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a grove of trees rendered through a highly simplified and painterly lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

Here, the artist distills the scene into a series of interlocking organic forms, evoking the rhythm and character of the natural environment. The composition suggests a stand of trees, their rounded canopies and twisting trunks emerging from a sunlit clearing beneath an expansive sky.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the painting balances representation with abstraction. The forms are reduced to broad, sculptural shapes, creating a sense of quiet monumentality while retaining the essence of the landscape. The composition feels contemplative and timeless, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as a mood rather than a specific place.

The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, characterised by broad sweeping strokes and layered applications of paint. Visible brush marks animate the surface, with curved gestures describing foliage and more angular strokes defining trunks and shadows.

Where the Water Turns

Sold

SOLD

A calm and atmospheric contemporary abstract landscape composition that captures the quiet grandeur of a lake or reservoir nestled within a sweeping valley, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2002.

The scene unfolds from an elevated viewpoint, with a broad expanse of silvery water cutting through dark wooded hills and receding into a distant horizon. In the foreground, a vibrant band of burnt orange terrain introduces warmth and energy, creating a dramatic contrast against the cool, atmospheric landscape beyond.

Executed in a semi-abstract style, the artist reduces the natural world to simplified forms and expansive colour fields, emphasising mood and spatial depth over fine detail. The composition balances geometric structure with painterly expression, lending the work a contemplative and almost dreamlike quality.

The palette is both restrained and evocative, dominated by soft greys, slate blues, charcoal blacks, and misty whites, punctuated by luminous passages of orange. These warm foreground tones draw the eye into the composition and suggest the fleeting colours of autumn against an otherwise tranquil landscape.

Brushwork varies throughout the surface, from broad, sweeping applications of paint in the sky and water to more textured, layered strokes within the wooded hills. Subtle vertical marks and dry-brush effects create movement and atmosphere, while the smooth treatment of the water lends the composition a sense of stillness and quiet reflection. The result is a powerful and atmospheric work that bridges abstraction and landscape painting with elegance and restraint.

Hills by the Sea

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist oil painting that captures a serene coastal escarpment overlooking calm blue waters, 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.

Rounded clusters of deep green foliage cascade across the foreground and hillside, while muted brown paths and cliff faces gently guide the eye toward the distant horizon. The simplified forms and restrained composition give the work a meditative stillness, evoking the quiet rhythm of an isolated shoreline.

Executed in a highly gestural modernist style, the painting balances abstraction with landscape representation. The artist reduces the scene into broad organic shapes and sweeping planes of colour, allowing atmosphere and structure to take precedence over fine detail. There is a subtle tension between the solidity of the landmass and the openness of the sea and sky, creating a beautifully understated composition.

The palette is both earthy and calming, composed of rich forest greens, olive tones, muted sand, pale cream, and soft powder blues. The contrast between the cool expanse of water and the dense, shadowed greenery gives the work depth while maintaining its minimalist sensibility.

Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and painterly, applied with visible texture and an instinctive rhythm. Thick curved strokes shape the foliage with a sculptural quality, while the sea and sky are rendered in smoother, flatter passages that heighten the sense of calm and spaciousness.

The composition is distilled into simplified geometric forms: angular rooftops, rounded treetops, and broad planes of snow – creating a serene yet contemplative atmosphere.

Rendered in cool tones of slate blue, charcoal, dove grey and icy white, the palette is beautifully punctuated by the warm, amber glow of the setting sun. The artist has used confident, stylised brushstrokes, outlining forms with inky, expressive lines that lend the scene a graphic clarity. Areas of flat colour are softened by subtle modulation, giving depth to the snowy fields and the silhouetted figure.

The overall effect is both still and cinematic: a quiet winter moment reduced to its essential shapes, colours and mood, with a strong sense of restraint and poetic minimalism.

This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful frame with a grey-wash wood grain finish. The painting in good vintage condition overall – with some marks and warp to the canvas.

Size: 78 x 88.5 cm (including frame)

Garden Celebration

Sold

SOLD

A charming modernist figurative landscape painting that captures a leisurely outdoor gathering rendered abstractly with an almost dreamlike simplicity, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

Small groups of figures drift through a soft green parkland, framed by loosely painted trees and two tables dressed in pale cloths, each topped with delicately decorated cakes. The scene feels both celebratory and intimate – a fleeting social moment distilled into colour, gesture, and atmosphere.

Executed in a naïve modernist style, the composition embraces spontaneity and abstraction over fine detail. The figures are reduced to simplified silhouettes and expressive blocks of colour, allowing the painting’s mood and rhythm to take precedence. Thick, textural brushstrokes give the work a tactile quality, with heavily layered whites and soft blush pinks contrasting beautifully against lively greens, deep blacks, and accents of crimson, violet, and sky blue.

The palette is airy and optimistic, dominated by fresh spring greens and creamy whites that evoke sunlight filtering across an open lawn. Loose, energetic mark-making throughout the trees and garments creates movement and visual playfulness, while the intentionally sparse background lends the work a quiet poetic openness.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffed areas and minor paint loss, consistent with age.

Size: 36.5 x 42.5 cm (including frame)

The Distance Between

Sold

SOLD

A serene landscape painting that presents a solitary figure standing in a vast, open field, facing toward a distant white structure that rises against the horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

The expansive sky occupies much of the canvas, shifting in gradient tones from pale cream near the horizon to soft blue above, evoking a sense of stillness and atmospheric depth.

The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with bold horizontal divisions of land, horizon, and sky creating a structured balance. The dark green foreground contrasts with lighter bands of yellow and green, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central figure and the white building. The figure, rendered in simple but deliberate strokes of blue, introduces a quiet narrative of solitude, contemplation, or journey.

The style is modernist and reductive, focusing on form and mood rather than intricate detail. Colours are clean and restrained – soft pastels in the sky, deep greens across the land, and a single bright accent of blue in the figure – lending the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with smooth transitions in the sky and more textural, layered application in the landscape. The painter’s hand is visible yet controlled, conveying both immediacy and calm.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.

The Orchard Walk

Sold

SOLD

A lively mid-century expressionist landscape painting, executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

The painting captures a solitary figure wandering through a grove of expressive, windswept trees set against a bright sky. The composition feels both playful and deeply atmospheric, with the rounded canopies forming rhythmic shapes across the canvas while the figure introduces a quiet human presence within the natural setting.

Executed in an expressive, semi-abstract style, the work is rich with energetic mark-making and spontaneous movement. Bold black linear accents weave through the trees and landscape, creating a graphic structure that contrasts beautifully against the softer fields of colour. The palette is vibrant yet balanced, dominated by fresh greens, sky blues, soft whites, earthy browns and flashes of vivid red-orange that animate the lower landscape.

Brushstrokes are loose, gestural and layered, giving the painting a wonderfully textured surface full of movement and visual rhythm. Thick outlines, broken colour application and painterly dabs lend the work an instinctive, almost childlike immediacy.

This oil on canvas is presented in a warm-toned wood frame with gilt detailing. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some small scuffs to the corners of the frame

A Pause Between Places

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century figurative landscape that captures a quiet, contemplative moment at the boundary between nature and the built environment, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

A group of abstracted figures sit near a winding path, their forms simplified yet expressive, while a pair of stylised trees rise beside them – curving, organic silhouettes that anchor the composition. In the distance, block-like architectural forms suggest a town or cityscape, softened and abstracted to create a sense of calm detachment rather than urban bustle.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern idiom, the painting balances figuration and abstraction with ease. The artist has used flattened planes, rhythmic shapes, and a gently asymmetrical composition to guide the eye through the scene. There is a lyrical, almost poetic quality to the arrangement, where figures, trees, and buildings coexist in quiet harmony.

The palette is warm and nuanced, featuring soft creams, sandy beiges, pale blues, and blush tones, punctuated by deeper earthy browns, rust reds, olive greens, and muted teals. These contrasting yet harmonious colours lend the work both warmth and depth, while maintaining a light, airy atmosphere.

Confident, visible brushstrokes define the surface, with areas of loose, gestural paint layered against more opaque, block-like applications. Subtle scraping and overlaps reveal underlayers of colour, adding texture and movement. The painterly approach enhances the sense of spontaneity and modernist freedom characteristic of mid-century works.

This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a slight unevenness to the board but this is purely structural and does not affect the stability or visual impact of the artwork.

Autumn Path

Sold

SOLD

A small yet impactful expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a winding country path weaving through rolling farmland and clustered trees in full seasonal colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

A narrow stream or irrigation channel cuts through the composition, guiding the eye toward softly contoured hills and abstracted rural forms in the distance. The scene feels both pastoral and dreamlike, evoking the warmth and rhythm of the countryside through an imaginative, almost lyrical interpretation.

Executed in a lively modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification and expressive colour over realism. The artist uses energetic, layered brushstrokes and thick areas of impasto to create movement and texture across the surface. Dappled applications of paint in the trees and foliage lend the painting a vibrant, mosaic-like quality, while gestural lines define the pathways, fences, and cultivated fields.

The palette is rich and earthy, featuring warm browns, burnt orange, sienna, olive green, cobalt blue, cream, and touches of lavender and crimson. These contrasting tones create a striking sense of depth and seasonal atmosphere, balancing warmth with cooler passages of blue and white throughout the composition.

This oil on canvas is presented in a wide profiled wood frame with an gilt inner border, which complements the painting’s warm palette beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is some small losses to the top corners of the frame. Nevertheless, the work displays well overall.

Size: 25.5 x 31.5 cm (including frame)

Autumn Valley

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a countryside at the height of the changing season, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, where a solitary red-roofed cottage rests amidst sweeping green meadows, lending a sense of scale to the expansive vista. Beyond, a vibrant belt of autumn foliage stretches across the valley floor, its fiery hues glowing against the darker wooded ridges and distant hills that frame the horizon.

Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist distils the landscape into broad, simplified forms and expressive passages of colour, prioritising mood and rhythm over strict realism. The composition is carefully balanced, with horizontal bands of field, forest, and sky creating a sense of harmony and depth, while the undulating contours of the land gently guide the viewer’s eye through the scene.

The palette is both rich and nuanced, combining warm oranges, burnt siennas and soft crimsons with cool passages of sage green, blue-grey, lavender, and pale turquoise. Above, an expansive sky is animated by layered clouds rendered in sweeping strokes of blues and white, suggesting shifting light and the onset of changing weather.

The brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Short, energetic strokes build the foliage into a tapestry of colour, while broader, more gestural applications of paint define the fields and sky. Areas of visible canvas and loosely applied pigment lend the work a freshness and immediacy, capturing not only the appearance of the landscape but also its atmosphere and emotional resonance.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with stepped moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 56 x 67.5 cm (including frame)
