• Desert Geometry

    Desert Geometry

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking 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. 

    The painting presents a stylised desert architectural scene, rendered with crisp, geometric clarity. A row of low-slung buildings is depicted against a pale, arid sky, their forms distilled into minimalist blocks of colour and shape. Dominating the composition is a tall, rust-toned cylindrical structure – likely a water tower – flanked by low beige and ochre buildings with charcoal roofs. Two cactus-like forms punctuate the left of the frame, introducing a playful yet sparse nod to the desert landscape.

    The palette is subdued and sandy: soft ochres, warm beige, muted browns, slate grey, and a whisper of terracotta. The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and thickly applied paint, lending texture and tonal variation to the otherwise flat expanses.

    The work has a meditative stillness, with the flattened perspective and architectural rhythm evoking a quiet, sun-drenched afternoon in an empty town.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A small but vibrant modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a cosy outdoor scene with two people sitting on a bench under a lush tree.

    The scene is set in what appears to be a courtyard or plaza, with a cobblestone ground, benches, and a doorway in the background. A black and white cat is resting in the foreground, adding a playful element to the piece.

    The dominant green and yellow leaves of the tree contrast beautifully with the soft pink and blue hues of the background. The painting’s overall colour scheme is warm, inviting, and slightly whimsical, with a mix of pastel and bright shades.

    The painting features thick, visible brushstrokes, giving it a textured, almost sculptural quality. The outlines are somewhat rough and expressive, enhancing the sense of spontaneity and movement.

  • Where the Pines Meet the Sky

    Where the Pines Meet the Sky

    Sold

    SOLD

    An engaging mid-century modernist landscape painting that  presents a stylised vision of a woodland scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

    The composition captures a cluster of tall trees rising, their trunks rendered in rich brown and their foliage broken into angular planes of green. In the foreground, a pool reflects the muted light, grounding the scene in nature while balancing the composition with a patch of cool grey-blue.

    The work leans towards a Cubist-inspired style, with the trees and leaves simplified into overlapping geometric forms. Rather than striving for naturalistic detail, the artist conveys rhythm and structure, capturing the essence of the forest through abstraction.

    The colour palette is earthy yet vibrant, dominated by greens in multiple shades – deep pine, moss, olive, and emerald – contrasted by soft blues and greys of the sky. The brushstrokes are bold and deliberate, laid down in flat planes that build a sense of volume and depth without blending.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The canvas is slightly loose but this is not visible when hung  on the wall. There is a slight indentation to the right side, probably from the previous frame. The frame has some scuffing.

    By the Arches

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and very well executed mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board by 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.

    It depicts a stylized North African architectural scene, characterized by a row of arched windows and whitewashed buildings with flat roofs. The structure is rendered with bold, simplified shapes and thick black outlines, giving it a graphic, modernist quality.

    The palette is warm and muted, dominated by creamy whites, ochres, deep blues, and burnt siennas, evoking a desert or sunlit townscape. The composition is horizontally oriented, emphasizing the linearity of the architecture and the contrast between the built environment and the figures.

    The painting has a modernist, almost expressionistic style, with an emphasis on shape, shadow, and form over fine detail. The mood is contemplative and quiet, possibly evoking the heat and stillness of a midday scene. The use of flat perspective and colour blocking contributes to a sense of abstraction, while still grounding the image in recognizable, real-world elements.

    The painting is well presented in a gilt frame which suits it impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Cottage Among the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing semi-abstract mid-century modernist painting that presents a white cottage nestled among trees, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    The composition is rendered in a semi-abstract style, where natural forms are simplified into blocks of muted colour. The house, with its pale walls and ochre roof, stands as the focal point, framed by the surrounding foliage and a single bare-branched tree in the foreground.

    The palette is restrained and earthy, with soft tones of sage green, olive, beige, brown, and hints of lavender-grey, creating a sense of calm and understated harmony. The sky is suggested with cool, hazy blues, gently diffusing into the treetops.

    Executed with bold, textured brushstrokes and areas of impasto, the surface has a tactile quality that emphasises the painter’s hand. Forms are built up in broad, angular strokes, giving the scene a structural yet atmospheric presence. The overall effect is one of quiet modernism – balancing abstraction with recognisable subject matter.

  • Cottage Garden

    Cottage Garden

    Sold

    SOLD

    An charming mid-century naïve style painting  that captures a whimsical scene brimming with colour and detail, executed oil oil onto canvas.

    A cottage, complete with a red tiled roof and bright blue doors, stands at the heart of the composition. A tall tree with lush green foliage frames the right side, while a vibrant garden with flowers bloom across the foreground. A Siamese cat, poised in mid-step beside a stone birdbath adorned with red flowers, adds a touch of personality to the tranquil setting.

    Executed in a naïve or folk-art style, the work embraces a deliberate flatness and simplified perspective, lending it a nostalgic, storybook quality. The forms are outlined cleanly, and architectural details are rendered with a clear, almost schematic precision.

    The palette is bright and cheerful. The brushwork is fine and controlled, with short, directional strokes used for the grass and flowers to create texture and pattern. Surfaces are generally smooth, with crisp edges and an even application of paint, giving the piece its distinctive illustrative charm.

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

  • Earthen Horizon

    Earthen Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century abstract painting that evokes a quiet, atmospheric landscape through restrained simplicity, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is divided into two sweeping planes: a broad expanse of earthy brown and grey tones that anchor the lower half, contrasted with a soft, muted sky in shades of lighter greys and beige above. At their meeting point, textured strokes of white and pale grey suggest drifting mist or distant light, imbuing the work with depth and a sense of horizon.

    The artist has used a minimalist yet expressive style, where the subject matter becomes more suggestion than representation. Broad, horizontal brushstrokes are layered with subtle variations, creating tonal gradations and a tactile surface. The impasto work along the horizon adds movement, balancing the otherwise serene, meditative field.

    This painting’s restrained palette and textural abstraction reflect the mid-century modernist sensibility – favouring atmosphere, mood, and material over literal depiction.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a very well suited silver metal frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Evening Reflection

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century modernist composition that captures a serene moment of contemplation set in a tranquil landscape setting, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting depicts four robed figures gathered near a large tree—one seated and the others standing in reflective postures. Their robes, in striking hues of red, orange, and blue, create a focal point, emphasising their presence and interaction. The background reveals an open countryside bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun, with rolling, lush hills adding depth and atmosphere.

    Embracing modernist expressionism, the work features simplified forms and a focus on emotional resonance rather than realism. The semi-abstracted figures are rendered with minimal detail, enhancing their  meditative quality. The composition is carefully balanced, with the prominent tree on the left counterweighting the figures on the right, leading the viewer’s eye along the pathway into the distance.

    The brushstrokes are expressive yet fluid, lending the piece a dynamic yet harmonious quality. The thoughtfully curated colour palette blends warm and cool tones, contributing to the painting’s contemplative and evocative atmosphere.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A moody and atmospheric mid-century winter landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two bare birch trees stand in the foreground, their stark verticality cutting across a field of muted snow and earth. Behind them, a dense and darkened woodland looms, its tangle of branches rendered with expressive, energetic strokes.

    Colours are earthy and subdued: taupes, browns, and cool greys dominate the palette, punctuated by occasional hints of icy blue and pale sand. The sky is heavy and dramatic, echoing the dense line of trees below it.

    The confident, textural brushstrokes vary in direction, and the style is loose and gestural. This painting evokes a fleeting seasonal moment – cold, contemplative, and grounded in the quiet beauty of nature.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    The composition is defined by broad, horizontal bands of layered colour, suggesting fields, earth, and a distant horizon beneath an expansive sky. Though abstract, the piece evokes the meditative simplicity of nature viewed from afar.

    The brushwork is confident yet restrained, with smooth, deliberate strokes that move horizontally across the canvas, enhancing the sense of calm continuity.

    The colour palette is grounded in earthy greens, sand, rust browns, and muted blues, transitioning into a soft, pale sky in the upper two-thirds of the painting.

    At the centre of the composition, a red-roofed house sits nestled among rolling green hills, with winding white paths leading toward the horizon, where a band of deep blue suggests the presence of the sea.

    The artist has abstracted natural elements into rhythmic, geometric shapes – trees, hills, and fences are distilled into confident planes of colour.

    The figure, clad in a red headscarf and earthy-toned dress, is rendered with simplified yet expressive forms, evoking a moment of quiet introspection in nature.

    The composition reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: bold brushwork, expressive abstraction, and a spontaneous energy that animates the landscape.

    The painting transforms natural forms into a meditative study of shape and colour. Bold, rounded abstractions suggest a grove of trees or boulders mirrored in a pool of still water, their reflections rendered with gentle distortion across the lower half of the composition.

    The palette is earthy yet expressive – muted browns, mossy greens, and greys are punctuated by vivid blues and soft lavender. The use of flattened perspective and blocked-in colour fields is emblematic of modernist abstraction, while the brushwork is firm and intuitive, with visible strokes lending texture and movement to the otherwise serene setting.

    Shadowed Ascent

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed and compelling abstract landscape with figure oil composition painted in 1953 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The painting presents silhouetted forms ascending against a fractured, mountainous backdrop. The figures – three discernible shapes rendered in deep charcoal- emerge in the foreground moving through a fragmented terrain, evoking themes of journey, endurance, or spiritual pilgrimage.

    Executed in a subdued palette of earthy and muted tones, the painting achieves a rich tonal harmony while emphasising contrast between light and dark. The angular planes and hard-edged abstraction suggest influences of Cubism and Modernist figuration, with geometric simplification shaping both figures and landscape.

    Thick, directional brushstrokes lend the work a tactile surface, especially in the earthy sky and rock formations. This adds depth and texture, reinforcing the sense of movement within an otherwise still and solemn scene.

    A female figure in a patterned brown dress and matching headscarf stands with her back turned, gazing out toward a sunlit seafront. Her form is silhouetted against a pale, softly radiant sky, while two distant figures walk near the shoreline, rendered in minimal, blurred strokes.

    Executed in a minimalist modernist style, the painting features simplified forms and subtle geometry. The palette is muted yet warm – soft browns, beiges, and taupes contrast gently with the hazy whites and greys of the sky, punctuated by a sliver of blue on the horizon. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with soft gradients and diffused edges creating a dreamlike, almost cinematic stillness. The overall effect evokes quiet introspection, solitude, and the gentle passage of time.

    The artist has used a controlled, muted palette – dusty olive greens, blues, and soft greys – punctuated by gentle pops of yellow and red flowers in the foreground. the brushwork is smooth and deliberate, favouring blocks of colour over texture, evoking a sense of calm and order. The composition masterfully balances abstraction and representation, capturing a tranquil, idealised view of domestic architecture.

    This large oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with visible grain and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

    Size: 64 x 84 cm (including frame)

    Evening Embrace

    Sold

    SOLD

    A romantic and emotive mid-century figurative landscape that captures a tender moment between a couple seated on a white bench amidst a lush garden setting executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    The figures are rendered in broad, expressive strokes, with the woman in a light blue dress and the man in a dark suit, their bodies gently leaning toward one another in a quiet show of intimacy.

    The scene is set against a dramatically painted backdrop – towering trees, a dusky sky, and a lake or body of water in the distance evoke a sense of twilight. The palette is rich and earthy: deep greens, stormy blues, muted pinks, and flashes of warm reds animate the landscape, while the brushwork is loose, textured, and instinctive, conveying both emotion and atmosphere.

    The overall composition is balanced yet dynamic, with the figures grounding the work while the surroundings pulse with expressive energy.

    A charming example of mid-century expressionist painting, this piece blends figuration and abstraction to capture the essence of a fleeting, intimate moment in nature.

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

    Size: 72 x 61 cm (including frame)

    Golden Reflections

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small and vibrant mid-century modernist landscape that captures an abstracted  luminous autumnal forest scene mirrored in a calm stream, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Stylised trees with simplified, angular trunks and bold, abstracted foliage dominate the composition, their leaves rendered in rich tones of orange, golden yellow, and muted olive green. Patches of soft blue peek through the canopy and reflect below, providing contrast and a sense of depth.

    Painted in expressive, confident brushstrokes, the work reflects the artist’s modernist approach -favouring form and feeling over strict realism. The palette is warm and harmonious, evoking the quiet radiance of a sunlit woodland in early fall. The broken brushwork and visible texture of the canvas lend movement and immediacy to the scene, pulling the viewer into a fleeting, golden moment in nature.

    Rolling Greens

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century modernist landscape painting that features a serene rural scene characterised by geometric simplicity and muted tones, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

    The composition highlights a cluster of cottages nestled within softly undulating hills and winding paths. The background reveals a gradient of forested hills and a distant mountainous horizon, conveying depth and tranquillity.

    The painting embodies the principles of modernist abstraction, focusing on the essential forms of the landscape rather than intricate detail. The geometric approach creates a structured yet harmonious visual experience.

    The palette is dominated by soft earthy tones. The subdued, pastel-like quality of the colours adds a sense of calm to the composition. The artist has used broad, smooth brushstrokes, emphasising shape and form rather than texture. The application is controlled and deliberate, reinforcing the structured yet organic nature of the landscape.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited white painted wood frame and an inner ridged gilt moulding. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some general wear and paint loss to frame, but it is stable overall.

  • Shoreline with Red Roof

    Shoreline with Red Roof

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large mid-century modernist landscape depicting a minimalist coastal scene rendered with bold, abstracted forms and expressive brushwork, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The scene is constructed from interlocking bands of earthy brown, olive green, slate blue, and creamy beige, suggesting sand, water, and distant terrain in an almost abstract arrangement. Thick, visible brushstrokes sweep across the surface, adding energy and rhythm to the otherwise still composition.

    The artist’s modernist sensibility is evident in the stylised forms and reductive palette, which strip the landscape to its essential elements while retaining a strong sense of place. The work conveys a mood of solitude and atmospheric tension, encapsulating the quiet drama of nature through structure and tone.

    This large oil on canvas  is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 75.5 x 88 cm (including frame)
