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.

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.

Grounded

Sold

SOLD

The painting features short, repetitive brushstrokes, creating a textured, almost mosaic-like effect. This technique gives the painting a dynamic, rhythmic quality, as if capturing the gentle sway of trees in the breeze.

This oil on canvas is set in a simple silver frame, which complements the cool tones in the sky and adds a modern touch to the presentation. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

Summer Reader

Sold

SOLD

A radiant mid-century figurative painting that captures a moment of leisure by the beach, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1947.

A woman sits comfortably atop a vibrant orange towel, dressed in a blue bathing suit and shaded by a straw hat, completely absorbed in her book. Behind her is a lush coastal landscape scene, where a few distant figures stroll along the beach.

The brushwork is lively and expressive, with confident, loose strokes that convey texture and movement. Bold splashes of colour—especially the warm orange of the towel and the verdant greens of the surrounding landscape—create a dynamic contrast with the cooler blue tones of the woman’s outfit and the sandy, coastal hues in the background.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary frame with an inner and outer gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

Size: 47.5 x 56.5 cm (including frame)

Stockholm Sunrise

Sold

SOLD

A bold and uplifting mid-century modernist painting of a cityscape, executed in oil onto board and dated 1940 in a handwritten letter attached to the reverse.

The composition features an urban setting of Stockholm in Sweden. In the foreground, we can spot a figure holding balloons and other pedestrians on a walkway. Beyond them lies an abstracted view of a bridge that leads to the city.

The painting is rendered in a loose, impressionistic style, characterised by visible, expressive brushstrokes. The style suggests spontaneity and vibrancy, emphasising the mood and atmosphere of the scene over intricate detail. The brushstrokes are textured and swift, adding character to the composition.

The artist has used a warm and harmonious palette dominated by a spectrum of rich shades including yellows and browns, and complemented by cooler tones of blue and green. The warm yellows of the sky suggest a sunset or sunrise, imbuing the work with an uplifting quality.

This oil on board is housed in a ridged gilt frame that is very solid. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Size: 51 x 40 cm (including frame)
