Garden by the Water

Available

SOLD

A small yet very effective charming landscape painting that captures a quiet outdoor terrace set against the gentle shimmer of a lakeside horizon, executed in oil onto board and dated 1981.

At the centre, a white table and chairs sit bathed in warm afternoon light, their forms softened and abstracted by expressive painterly strokes. Surrounding them, lush trees and shrubs frame the scene, creating a sense of intimate seclusion with just a glimpse of the expansive water beyond.

The composition blends representational elements with looser, gestural abstraction. The palette is harmonious and atmospheric – cool blues and greys of the sky and water contrast beautifully with the earthy greens and muted browns of the foliage and ground. Thick impasto brushstrokes bring exceptional texture and movement to the surface, particularly in the foliage where the paint is applied in layered, energetic swirls. The terrace furniture is rendered with creamy whites and pale yellows, catching the light and adding a striking focal point within the natural setting.

Overall, this is a wonderfully evocative piece: capturing the tranquillity of a sunlit moment outdoors, conveyed through confident colour work and richly tactile brushwork.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary white painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Houses by the Rolling Hills

Sold

SOLD

A charming and picturesque mid-century landscape that captures a quiet cluster of houses nestled within rolling green fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

The composition centres around a small hamlet, its simple geometric forms distilled into blocks of colour: red and blue rooftops, creamy white façades, and deep green foliage. A single tree rises from the village centre, its broad, dark crown creating a natural focal point amid the surrounding patchwork of shapes.

Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces simplification and abstraction, reducing the landscape into harmonious, interlocking planes. The artist’s palette is earthy yet vivid: rich brick reds, moss greens, browns, and blues – all balanced by softer, muted tones in the distant hills. This juxtaposition of saturated and subdued colour adds depth and a rhythmic visual cadence.

Brushstrokes are confident and textural, with layered applications of paint that create subtle variations across the surface. Edges are softly defined, allowing forms to merge slightly into one another, giving the work its characteristic mid-century warmth and painterly charm. The result is a beautifully composed village scene that feels at once grounded and gently abstracted.

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

Size: 57.5 x 87 cm (including frame)

Pine Cones

Sold

SOLD

A semi-abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract depiction of what appears to be a woodland scene dominated by pine branches and cones. The artist uses thick, impasto brushstrokes and a cool, earthy palette of blues, greens, whites, and deep browns to capture the textures and dynamic forms of the forest.

The pine cones and branches are rendered with bold, almost sculptural application of paint, and the artist has added a sandy aggregate, giving the canvas a textured, tactile quality. The diagonal sweep of the central tree branch and scattered cones conveys a sense of movement, as if observed in a moment of wind or natural disarray.

The background is filled with vertical strokes of cool blue-greens suggesting trunks or dense undergrowth, while the pale, almost snowy backdrop provides contrast and depth. This interplay of light and dark, texture and fluidity, evokes the feeling of standing among trees in a winter or early spring forest.

This oil on canvas is housed in a lightly painted wood frame, which suits it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

An enchanting mid-century modern painting that captures a lively moment in a city park, centred around a figure holding a magnificent cluster of colourful balloons, executed in oil onto canvas.

Several figures gather along the pathway beneath tall trees, creating a gentle sense of movement and everyday life within the urban setting. A warm-toned brick building rises in the background, grounding the scene in a quiet city square.

Coastal Quietude

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century landscape that captures a quiet coastal scene defined by openness, balance, and gentle geometry, executed in oil onto canvas.

A pale winding pathway leads the viewer’s eye through a soft green foreground toward a tranquil shoreline and expansive horizon beyond. Two slender trees stand as quiet sentinels at the centre of the composition, their vertical forms offering a subtle counterpoint to the horizontal bands of land, sea, and sky. On the left, a gently rising bluff adds structure and depth, while rounded, sculptural foliage frames the scene with a sense of intimacy.

The painting is executed in a modernist, semi-abstracted style characteristic of mid-century landscape painting, where natural forms are simplified into harmonious blocks of colour and shape. The artist prioritises mood and spatial clarity over fine detail, creating a composition that feels both contemplative and timeless.

The colour palette is fresh and calming, composed of cool sky blues, soft sea greys, and layered greens ranging from muted sage to deeper forest tones. The sandy pathway is rendered in warm, pale cream, providing contrast and guiding visual movement throughout the work. These balanced tones evoke the quiet stillness of a coastal morning or early afternoon.

Brushwork is deliberate and structured, with visible, confident strokes that build form through layered colour rather than blended transitions. The foliage is constructed with confident, blocky applications of paint, while the sky and distant water are handled more smoothly, reinforcing the sense of atmospheric depth.

Fragments of a Day

Sold

SOLD

A striking modernist work that presents a scene fragmented into angular planes and interlocking blocks of colour, evoking figures and structures emerging within an imagined landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

Though abstracted, one can sense the suggestion of human presence and architectural forms – perhaps a house, a figure, and surrounding terrain reduced to their essential geometric components.

Rendered in a modernist style, the composition is built from flat, faceted shapes that tessellate across the canvas, creating a rhythmic mosaic. The artist has employed a harmonious yet lively palette of muted peach, terracotta, sage green, browns, dusty pink, teal, and pale blues. These tones shift softly across the surface, creating subtle contrasts and spatial tension without harsh division.

The brushstrokes are controlled yet visible, giving texture to each block of colour while maintaining an overall crispness in form. Edges are softly defined, hinting at the hand of the painter beneath the structure of the geometry. The result is a composition that feels both architectural and lyrical – an exploration of form and colour that balances abstraction with a whisper of narrative.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary simple wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition

Whispers of Winter

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century semi-abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

A snow-covered countryside is rendered with serene restraint.

Subtle hints of rust, terracotta, and charcoal create visual rhythm among the buildings and trees, while the sky is quietly layered in muted lilac and blue.

The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with gestural brushstrokes that suggest rather than define form.

Hills in Reverie

Sold

SOLD

A mid-century modernist abstracted landscape that presents a serene pastoral vista distilled into rhythmic sweeps of colour and gesture, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

The composition evokes rolling countryside rendered not through precise detail, but through impressionistic suggestion – where a gently sloping hill rises confidently across the centre, its curved mass anchoring the scene. In the foreground, luminous yellow fields stretch outward in broad passages, while clusters of softly suggested shrubs and earth tones create quiet interruptions across the terrain. To the right, two tall, slender vertical forms- reminiscent of cypress trees – stand like sentinels, introducing a quiet architectural presence against the openness of the land. The sky recedes in soft atmospheric layers, suggesting a fleeting moment of warm light as day gives way to evening.

The style embodies the essence of mid-century modernist landscape abstraction, where form is simplified into essential shapes and expressive mark-making. Rather than striving for realism, the artist captures the emotional resonance of place. The sweeping, curved hill is rendered almost sculpturally, its mass built through confident, continuous strokes that emphasise movement and volume. There is a harmonious balance between abstraction and recognition – the landscape feels both real and remembered, filtered through sensation rather than observation.

The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by layered greens ranging from mint and sage to deeper emerald tones. These are complemented by glowing passages of buttery yellow and warm ochre in the foreground, suggesting sunlit grasses. The sky transitions through soft pale blues, creamy whites, and hints of peach and apricot near the horizon, introducing warmth and atmosphere.

The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible, painterly strokes applied with confidence and immediacy. Thick, sweeping gestures define the hills, while shorter, curved dabs suggest foliage and texture. The surface carries a lively energy, revealing the artist’s hand and the spontaneity of execution.

House Beyond the Green

Sold

SOLD

A quiet and serene mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting presents a small white house that sits partially hidden within dense, verdant foliage. Set back from the viewer and framed by trees, the dwelling feels both secluded and gently anchored to its surroundings. A band of water runs horizontally through the middle ground, separating the lush greens above from the warmer, earth-toned foreground, creating a subtle sense of depth and balance.

The style is distinctly mid-century in its simplification of forms and emphasis on mood over detail.

These are contrasted by a soft blue sky and water, which cool the composition, and a striking foreground of burnt orange and rust tones that adds warmth and visual weight.

This tactile surface quality enhances the sense of atmosphere and reinforces the painting’s expressive, mid-century character.

The artist has used an expressive and dynamic impasto technique, layering thick, textured strokes to create depth and dimension. The brushstrokes are bold and confident, adding a tactile quality to the piece, while the swirling lines and undulating forms hint at the forces of nature shaping the environment.

The colour palette is a harmonious blend of muted, earthy tones – soft greys, off-whites, and hints of yellow – evoking the subdued atmosphere of a windswept wilderness. The subtle gradients of grey merge seamlessly into the creamy whites, with occasional touches of olive and beige that suggest geological formations.

The painting’s abstract nature allows for multiple interpretations, but its textured surface and organic flow invite contemplation of natural phenomena – perhaps eroded landscapes, flowing water, or windswept plains.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.

Size: 68.5 x 73.5 cm (including frame)

Intersecting Rhythm

Sold

SOLD

A dynamic mid-century abstract painting characterised by bold shapes, layered textures, and a rhythmic interplay of form and colour, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The composition is built from intersecting blocks and curved segments, suggesting movement and an underlying figurative tension while remaining firmly non-representational.

Executed in a robust modernist style, the work embraces the era’s embrace of spontaneity and materiality. The palette features earthy orange, muted greys, olive green, off-white, deep charcoal and small flashes of cobalt blue, brick red, and sunny yellow, creating a grounded yet energetic contrast. Thick, tactile impasto passages bring a sculptural quality to the surface, where dragged strokes, textured ridges, and deliberate scoring reveal the artist’s physical engagement with the medium.

Overall, the painting exudes strength and mid-century sophistication – a striking statement piece that celebrates form, texture, and movement.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary black painted wood frame. There is a small perforation to the canvas as shown in the photos ( this is only visible from the back, and not from the front), but it remains stable and does not detract from the work’s overall attractiveness.

Size: 72.5 x 62 cm (including frame)

The Gathering Walk

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant and lively mid century painting that captures a rhythmic gathering of figures moving through a tree-lined avenue toward a distant monument, painted 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 scene feels communal and celebratory, suggesting a village gathering or a festival, rendered with an expressive looseness that prioritises mood and movement over precise detail.

This expressive composition balances structure and spontaneity. The figures are simplified into bold, gestural forms, while the trees rise vertically on either side, creating a natural corridor that draws the eye inward. The architectural elements in the background anchor the scene, offering a quiet sense of place amid the animated crowd.

The colour palette is vibrant and optimistic: fresh greens dominate the trees, contrasted by a striking pastel pink sky and soft blue undertones. Pops of red, coral, and cobalt animate the figures, lending energy and warmth to the composition. These colours are applied with confidence, often layered to allow underlying tones to remain visible.

Brushstrokes are thick, textured, and deliberately expressive, with visible impasto throughout. Short, dynamic strokes define the crowd, while broader, more rhythmic marks shape the trees and sky. The overall effect is playful yet composed – a joyful, human-centred work that embodies optimism.

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

Patchwork Landscape

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century abstract landscape that presents a gently rolling countryside punctuated by a solitary red-roofed dwelling, nestled among tall, stylised trees executed in oil onto board.

The scene is composed as a patchwork of interlocking fields and winding paths, drawing the eye inward through a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement of forms. The house becomes a quiet focal point – an anchor of human presence within a broader, cultivated landscape.

The landscape has been reduced into geometric planes and simplified silhouettes. Perspective is subtly flattened, favouring structure and composition over naturalistic depth, lending the work a contemplative, design-led quality.

The colour palette is earthy and restrained: moss and olive greens, warm browns, and burnt oranges dominate the terrain, while the vivid red roof provides a striking yet balanced contrast. Soft greys and subdued blues in the background create atmosphere and spatial calm.

Brushstrokes are confident and matte, applied in broad, opaque blocks with visible edges. Rather than blending, the artist allows colours to sit alongside one another, enhancing the sense of construction and rhythm.

This oil on board is housed in a softly weathered grey-brown tone frame with subtle warm undertones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 57.5 x 66 cm (including frame)

Riverbend

Sold

SOLD

A vivid mid-century modernist abstract landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures the dynamic energy of a frozen waterway winding through a snowy terrain beneath a dramatic sky. The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and a striking palette to evoke the chill of winter and the fleeting glow of sunset.

The sky dominates the composition, rendered in bold swathes of blue and overlaid with dashes of fiery orange, crimson, and yellow, suggesting a sun just dipped below the horizon. Below, the frozen river curves with movement, painted in cool whites and icy blues, while gestural patches of green, orange, and brown represent trees and terrain along the banks. A structure and a vivid red form – perhaps a vehicle or boat – add subtle focal points within the composition.

The brushwork is loose, gestural, and tactile, creating a sense of immediacy and atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is a small loss to upper corner of frame as shown, but it is otherwise in very good condition.

Size: 41 x 36 cm (including frame)
