Quiet Horizon

Sold

SOLD.

A serene mid-century abstract painting that evokes the vastness and tranquillity of a minimalist landscape, where land meets sky in quiet harmony, executed in oil onto canvas.

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. The artist has used minimal blending, opting instead for a stacked composition of hues that interact gently along subtle shifts in tone.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some scuffing to the frame present, as shown.

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.

Boats by Moonlight

Sold

SOLD.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

This composition depicts a harbour view at night, with the moon casting its light on the boat, buildings and figures. The artist has used the contrasts of shape, colour and form to his advantage to create this modernist scene. The silhouettes of the boats and buildings have been very cleverly outlined with white, and the reflection of the moon can be seen on the water in yellow. In the forefront we see figures also standing in the reflection of the light, which has been painted in white. Towards the right we see a warm glow from the window of a house. This nostalgic composition captures the beauty of the night by the water wonderfully.

Reflections at the Grove

Sold

SOLD

A very pleasant modernist abstract landscape oil composition dated 1974, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

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.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing at its edges.

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.

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

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.

Beneath the Arch

Sold

SOLD

An evocative semi-abstract mid-century modernist interpretation of the Viaduct in Algeciras, Spain, painted in oil onto canvas 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.

Modernist in its ethos, the work takes on a reductionist, semi-abstract approach, and emphasises shape and composition over fine detail. Blocks of colour form a carefully balanced arrangement, where the solidity of forms meets the openness of sky and sea. The palette is composed of a mix of muted and earthy shades, creating a harmonious interplay between land, architecture, and atmosphere.

Brushstrokes are smooth and deliberate, with areas of subtly blended paint that enhance the sense of calm and space. Gentle tonal transitions and curved perspective lines draw the eye toward the horizon, giving the work a meditative quality.

Boulders

Sold

SOLD

A very well executed mid century modernist semi-abstract landscape depicting a rocky shoreline with water reflecting the rugged terrain, painted in oil onto canvas.

The scene features large rock formations in both the foreground and background, possibly part of a coastal or lakeside setting. The water is calm, reflecting the shapes and colours of the rocks, creating a mirror-like effect. In the background, hills or cliffs rise up, depicted in broad, angular shapes.

The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a textured, layered appearance. The artist uses both soft blended areas and sharp, angular strokes, which adds a dynamic, almost cubist-like abstraction to the rocks. The water is rendered with fluid, sweeping strokes, capturing the movement of light and reflection.

This painting conveys a sense of tranquillity and natural beauty, focusing on the interplay of light, texture, and form. The bold, simplified rocks contrast with the fluid reflections in the water, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition. The artist’s expressive brushwork and modernist approach make this piece feel both timeless and contemporary, evoking the serenity of a quiet coastal landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well suited silver frame, complementing the cool tones of the sky and water while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but is in good condition overall.

Form & Field

Sold

SOLD

An serene modernist painting that captures the essence of a landscape through minimalist abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1987.

The composition depicts two geometric structures flanking a trio of loosely rendered trees, all set within a flattened expanse of pale blue-green fields under a softly muted sky.

The artist has reduced natural and architectural forms to bold, simplified shapes, evoking a sense of stillness and isolation. Hazy blue trees blur gently into the distance, adding softness to the otherwise rectilinear forms.

The palette is cool and restrained, dominated by subdued blues and greens. Brushstrokes are confident yet soft-edged, with subtle feathering along the tops of the forms, suggesting quiet movement and the blending of earth and sky.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing and marks at its edges.

Size: 48 x 63 cm (including frame)
