    A large and very striking abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    The painting captures an interior scene with model figure as its central focus. The composition is set against a backdrop bursting with rich, vibrant colours, creating a dynamic visual experience.

    Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted, and the setting is filled with an assortment of indistinct objects that have been reduced to swathes of contrasting colour, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene.

    The artist has utilised a loose and expressive brushwork style, characterised by swift and unrestrained strokes that infuse the painting with a sense of movement and spontaneity. This approach not only highlights the artist’s mastery of colour but also emphasises the emotional intensity of the piece. Overall, the interplay of colours and the fluidity of the brushwork creates a captivating composition.

  • Walk to Town

    £840

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    In this vivid and richly coloured composition that is brimming with energy, we see a group of three figures walking together in the same direction, and can discern a townscape in the backdrop.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the scene have been simplified and abstracted down to painterly and expressive brushstrokes as well as juxtaposing saturated colours. The figures are position against a richly coloured background consisting primarily of yellow shades, and the contrast in tones further enhances the striking colours of the figures.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs, and paint loss at its left edge as shown in the close up.

  • Stacked Objects on Red

    £760

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

    A group of unidentified objects including vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface with a splash of striking red. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist has used a relatively monochrome palette with pops of colour including the green and yellow circles and red backdrop, which draw our eye to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with carved patterns. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Montage

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A unique elongated and narrow semi-abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of a film strip or photo montage, the painting has been divided into half. The artwork features a semi-abstract figure of a woman depicted twice, once in the top half and again in the bottom half, standing in a similar pose.

    The top half of the painting presents the woman amidst lighter shades, creating a subtle yet noticeable contrast with the lower half where slightly darker shades prevail. Between the two renditions of the female figure, a beige colour block acts as a divider, enhancing the montage-like effect.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black-painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Nestled in Nature

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting depicts a farmhouse that strecthes across the composition, surrounded by a lush landscape and under a pale blue sky at dawn.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has skillfully deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting colours, to demonstrate a sense of depth and dimension.

    The brushstrokes are short and expressive, and the muted colour palette imbues the work with a sense of calm.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs, but this does not detract from its overall appearance.

  • Pose

    £1,095

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed modernist style figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition features a model seated on a tall brown stool, with one leg resting on a shorter platform while the other touches the floor.

    The artist has deliberately chosen to omit the facial features, instead focusing on the figure’s form, accentuated by the dark outlines that trace the silhouette and bring a sense of structure and definition to the piece.

    The backdrop is an abstract blend of pale yellow and light cream blocks, providing a calming yet contrasting background that enhances the simplicity and effectiveness of the composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne silver frame with an inner beige border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffs and marks, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Two Oranges

    £945

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist still life in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Deep, earthy colours make up this subdued palette, which is composed of a trio of bottles and 2 oranges atop a table. There is a distinct focus on form and line, where the artist has played with the shape of the objects and their shadows against geometrical planes. Areas of impasto are visible, where the paint has been painted thickly and we can see the directional strokes of the artist’s brush, creating a painterly effect. The texture of the painted surface also adds the three dimensionality of the painting, as well as highlights the effect of light on the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. There is a small area of paint loss at the lower right corner of the painting (as shown) but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Houses at Dusk

    £545

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large moody and atmospheric modernist-style landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    Long and narrow in format, the composition features a pathway that stretches from the foreground into the distance, guiding the eye towards farmhouses in the distance. Beyond the houses, we can get a slight glimpse of a coast, against the soft greyish-blue sky at dusk.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has skilfully deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting colours, to demonstrate a sense of depth and dimension.

    The use of a moody earthy palette imbues the scene with a nostalgic feel, while the swift and expressive brushstrokes add a wonderful textural quality.

    Being narrow and running close to a meter in length, the painting’s size would make it the perfect addition above a bed or sofa.

    This oil on board is housed in an attractive linen-lined frame with multiple windows. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cubist Harbour

    £1,130

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    A visually striking mid-century modernist composition of a harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A body of water occupies the middle ground of the canvas. Lining the water are numerous boats, their forms captured in black silhouettes that stand out against the restrained palette of blues and creams. In the foreground, the water’s edge is populated by shadowy figures of people, their silhouettes painted in the same muted black. The background is dominated by blocks of buildings outlined in bold black lines, further emphasising their structured, almost architectural quality.

    Masterfully containing elements of geometric abstraction and cubism, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the scene down to geometric shapes in contrasting colours to demonstrate a sense of depth and interest to the painting.

    The use of a restrained palette, primarily blues, blacks, with hints of creams, along with the bold outlines and smooth brushstrokes, creates a composition that is both cohesive and dynamic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. There is a light surface mark at the top right section of the painting, as well as a small area of paint loss at the top edge of the painting, as shown in photos. The frame has some age wear and scuffing.

    A bright and vividly coloured mid century landscape composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1963.

    Characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork, this painting carries many elements of the ‘Fauvist’ style. Here we have bold, non-naturalistic colours, and wild loose dabs of paint which add a sense of abstraction to the landscape scene.  As we take in the scene, our eyes dance across the surface, following the different movements and colours that the artist has applied the canvas. There is a spontaneity to the brushwork that gives this painting its dynamic and lively quality.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A rich and vivid modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    With a myriad of bold and striking colours in a series of geometric shapes, we can discern an interior scene. A framed painting of flowers hangs against a brick wall, and to the right a range of vessels sit on a table with their shadows cast against the wall behind them. The artist has not used the traditional and realistic angles, and has instead flattened the perspective and used multiple angles within the composition. The artist explores the formal elements of shape, line, colour and pattern to create this cubist composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs present to the inner silver border of the frame.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1968 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have been represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum, and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

    A group of mostly unidentifiable objects in a very restrained palette sit against a grey background. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object.

There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

    This original oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

    Through the use of powerful, expressive, and intense brushstrokes as well as dark outlines, the painting expresses the rich emotions of the artist, and the style of the painting is reminiscent of the post-war French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet (1928-1999), who was also painting around this time.

    The artist has also used the sgraffito technique, using the back of his paintbrush to create lines through the paint layer of the pink flowers, adding a sense of three-dimensionality and varied texture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide profile gilt frame . The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

    Size: 74.5 x 64 cm (including frame)

    A brilliantly executed and lively mid-century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this scene, we see a group of three fishermen in a boat out at sea. They appear to have a net in their hands, awaiting for the catch of the day.

    The painting has been executed in an expressionist manner – the brushstrokes are visible and dynamic, moving in a myriad of directions and imbuing the painting with a sense of energy

    This painting would look perfect in a nautical-themed interior, or perhaps in a setting that is close to the sea.

    Along a Coast

    Original price was: £425.Current price is: £385.

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, expressive and serene panoramic view of a coastal scape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    As our eyes shift from the top to the bottom of the painting, we can notice the colours intensifying – with lighter and calmer shades of blue and green filling the top half of the work, juxtaposed by rich and saturated colours in the bottom half. In addition to this, the brushstrokes similarly intensify – with softer sweeping stokes filling the top half, and short, swift and more textured brushstrokes at the bottom.

    Overall, the painting exudes tranquillity and would make a statement piece in any interior with its large size.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wide profile gilt frame with an inner linen lining.  There are very light and minor surface marks on the top half of the painting, but it is in good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 77 x 88 cm (including frame)

    Priests in Greece

    Original price was: £655.Current price is: £560.

    Available

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and striking mid-century modernist painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a charming street scene at Patmos in Greece. In the foreground, two priests in black robes first draw our attention. In the background of the painting, a figure and a donkey can be seen strolling on a pathway lined with white buildings with colourful arches.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has flattened the respective forms, reducing them down to blocks of contrasting shades to demonstrate depth and a sense of space to the painting.

    A spectrum of uplifting colours have been used, and the brushstrokes are gentle, evoking a soothing and relaxing quality to the painting.

    Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct form.

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

    Size:  85 x 75 cm (including frame)

    The Pair

    Original price was: £480.Current price is: £405.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very unique mid century modernist oil composition of two figures, painted onto canvas by 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 artist has flattened the surface, reducing the figures down into planes of pastel colour, that fit together like a puzzle. The palette is restrained, using a range of light blues, greys and browns. To add depth to the picture, the painting is filled with these vertical patterns, that are almost like seams that open up to reveal layers of colour underneath.

    This very interesting composition is unframed but can be hung as is. The painting has some scattered craquelure, commensurate with age. The craquelure does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    Size: 80 x 60.5 cm
