    Echoes of the Street

    £605

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An atmospheric modernist style mid-century cityscape painting that captures a quiet urban street running alongside a canal, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used broad, simplified forms and minimal detail to emphasise mood over realism. The palette is composed of muted greys, earthy browns, and beige, softened by pale green reflections in the canal water. The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, with visible textures and layered tonal variations that add depth to the otherwise stark geometry.

    There is a quiet melancholy to the work, evoking a sense of solitude and introspection within the starkness of the urban landscape.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary ridged white-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs along its edges as shown.

  • Nocturne City Lights

    Nocturne City Lights

    £895

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking mid-century cityscape that captures the shimmering energy of an urban night scene, translated into a rich tapestry of colour and geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is structured with bold, interlocking blocks and angular shapes, suggesting the rhythm of buildings, windows, bridges, and reflections on water. A procession of glowing yellow-lit windows runs across the centre, evoking a row of houses or perhaps a train, cutting a luminous path through the darkness. Above, sharp angular rooftops and scaffolding-like forms rise into a deep indigo and violet sky, punctuated by hints of streetlamps and architectural details.

    The artist’s palette is rich and vibrant, dominated by jewel tones of cobalt blue, violet, crimson, and emerald green, balanced with the warmth of orange, red, and brown. The glowing yellow windows add a brilliant contrast, animating the scene with a sense of movement and vitality.

    The brushwork is expressive and textured, with bold, layered strokes that give depth and tactile richness to the surface. Each shape feels carefully constructed, yet retains the energy of the hand that painted it, merging structure with spontaneity.

    This work is a celebration of the modern city at night – a mosaic of light, shadow, and human presence – rendered through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame that has a unique beaded detailing. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Memory of a Coast

    Memory of a Coast

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A long and serene mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet expanse of a coastal scene, distilled into soft geometric fields of colour, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    Blocks of pale blue, sandy beige, and warm cream suggest shifting sands, shallow waters, and reflected light, while two muted brown landforms anchor the horizon line. The overall composition evokes the sensation of gazing at the shoreline through a veil of haze or memory, where form dissolves into atmosphere.

    The style is reductive and modernist, leaning toward abstraction while retaining the impression of sea, sky, and land. Broad, flat planes of colour are applied with gentle brushstrokes that reveal subtle texture beneath the surface, while thin, almost translucent layers give a sense of light filtering through. The palette is soothing and harmonious, dominated by sky blues and sandy neutrals with touches of earthy brown, evoking serenity and openness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame, with natural woodgrain visible. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cubist Tabletop

    Cubist Tabletop

    £615

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and striking mid-century cubist still life that presents an arrangement of objects distilled into bold, geometric forms, painted in oil onto canvas.

    At the centre, a single red rose rises sharply from a faceted brown vase, its angular green leaves echoing the crystalline structure of the surrounding elements. Beside it, a vivid blue jug rendered in interlocking planes stands with sculptural presence, while a small angular fruit or object rests upon a two-toned plate in the foreground.

    The composition is a masterful exercise in cubist reduction, where natural forms are translated into prismatic shapes. The background is similarly fragmented into overlapping planes of muted lilac, teal, and yellow, lending the scene a sense of depth and dynamism while maintaining strict flatness.

    The palette balances earthy browns and greys with vibrant accents of cobalt blue, emerald green, and a sharp pop of crimson. The brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, applied in clean, even planes of colour without visible texture, emphasising structure over gesture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited frame with an outer linen border and an inner cream window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame does have some scuffing but is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Veils of Grey

    Veils of Grey

    Sold

    SOLD

    A  large mid-century abstract painting that explores an interplay of muted tones and layered forms, creating a composition that feels both architectural and atmospheric, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject matter is non-representational, allowing the viewer to interpret shifting planes and subtle depths that suggest shadowed interiors or blurred landscapes without resolving into a fixed image.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of whites, greys, silvers, and soft taupe, with occasional accents of darker brown and hints of blue, the work captures a cool, contemplative mood.

    The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate – some areas built up with dense, textured applications, while others are feathered, thinned, or softly blended to create a sense of translucency and motion. The overall effect is one of quiet dynamism, as if forms are emerging and dissolving within a luminous fog.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Astrid

    Astrid

    £855

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist style figurative composition that presents a contemplative nude figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    The figure, constructed through broad angular planes and softened edges, is seated in a relaxed pose, one leg bent and the torso subtly twisted – creating a gentle rhythm that guides the viewer’s gaze through the composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet warm palette of ochre, sienna, and earthy umber, the body is set against a backdrop of powder blue, grey, and dusty taupe. This juxtaposition of warm and cool tones imbues the painting with both emotional tension and visual calm.

    The brushwork is expressive but controlled, with textured applications of paint that oscillate between opaque coverage and dry-brush translucency, revealing the wood grain beneath. There’s a tactile quality to the strokes – layered, scraped, and directional – that accentuates the structural anatomy of the figure while maintaining abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting’s surface exhibits areas of craquelure, consistent with age. While the paint layer remains stable across most of the canvas, there is some instability noted in the central section beneath the figure’s chest. The frame is in good vintage condition.

    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.

  • Seated in Thought

    Seated in Thought

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive modernist style figurative oil painting that presents a contemplative and poised seated figure, rendered with bold, confident brushwork, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

    The subject, dressed in a muted green top, cropped blue trousers, and accented with a pale pink scarf, sits on a red-cushioned wooden chair. Their head is turned slightly to the side, the facial features left abstract, allowing posture and colour to convey mood.

    The composition is set against a dynamic backdrop of vertical strokes in varying shades of blues and orange, creating a sense of depth and vibrancy. The artist has used thick, visible brushstrokes, lending the work a tactile quality and an impressionistic immediacy. The palette balances earthy neutrals with cooler blues and greens, punctuated by warmer reds and orange, creating both harmony and contrast.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small loss to its top right corner.

  • Interaction

    Interaction

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant geometric abstract composition that explores form and interaction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting features a dynamic arrangement of amoebic shapes in overlapping layers. The subject matter is intentionally non-representational, evoking the energy of human presence or social exchange through softened silhouettes that seem to drift, merge, or dance within a flat pictorial space.

    Rendered in bold blocks of solid colour – striking red and orange, yellow, cobalt blue, and deep plum – the forms float atop a simplified two-tone background of blue and green, suggestive of sky and earth. The palette is both playful and intentional, using contrast to create visual depth without shadows or gradients.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and minimally textured, allowing the flatness and precision of each colour field to hold compositional tension. The overall effect is a harmonious yet enigmatic piece that invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between shape, space, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks (as pictured).

  • Whispers of Blue

    Whispers of Blue

    £780

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasant and soothing modernist abstract landscape oil composition dated 1964, 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 presents a lyrical abstraction of nature, rendered in a simplified, expressive manner. Dominating the canvas is a large, cloud-like form in soft sky blue, spreading across the surface in loose, swirling brushstrokes that suggest movement and depth. Around this central mass, smaller organic shapes in earthy olive-greens rise vertically, evoking trees or natural formations, while muted pink and cream passages peek through, softening the composition.

    The style is minimalist yet painterly, leaning toward abstraction while still evoking landscape elements. The palette is restrained but harmonious: pale blue, moss green, muted pink, and warm beige. The brushwork is broad, textured, and somewhat gestural, creating a sense of spontaneity and rhythm.

    Overall, the piece balances form and void, evoking the serenity of a landscape distilled into pure colour and shape.

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

  • Coastal Bend

    Coastal Bend

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and tranquil mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where land, sea, and sky merge in soft abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A pale sandy shoreline curves gently into the canvas, embraced by rolling hills rendered in muted olive and sage tones. Beyond, a calm expanse of blue-grey water stretches across the composition, fading into a sky of pale blue and light peach with delicate cloud sweeps.

    The artist has worked in a semi-abstract modernist style, reducing natural forms to broad planes of colour and fluid, interwoven shapes. The palette is harmonious yet subtly contrasting – earthy browns and greens meet with cooler greys and sky blues. Brushstrokes are gestural and loose, layering both horizontal sweeps and curved motions that suggest movement in land and water.

    Overall, the work balances tranquillity with rhythmic energy, presenting an interpretation of nature through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

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

  • Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

    Cubist Figure & Fruits (Large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid-century cubist painting that presents a fragmented figure seated beside a simple pedestal table holding a cluster of rounded fruit forms, painted in oil onto board.

    In this striking composition, the human form is reduced to angular planes and intersecting facets, the face and body articulated through a network of geometric shapes in pale cream, brown, and muted green tones, accented by deep blacks. The table and fruit echo this cubist language, with rounded grapes and apples broken into overlapping, flat colour areas.

    The style is distinctly cubist, emphasising structural simplification and the interplay of light and shadow through geometric abstraction. The artist balances areas of dense black with softer sage greens, creating a rhythmic tension across the composition. Brushstrokes are firm, deliberate, and textured, with the layered paint adding subtle depth to the otherwise flat geometry.

    The restrained palette – creams, greens, blacks, and teal-blues – contributes to the painting’s harmony, while the angular construction of the figure and still life demonstrates the artist’s focus on form and design rather than naturalistic representation.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary heavy solid wood frame with an oak-toned finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size:  95 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

  • House on the Hill

    House on the Hill

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and lively landscape painting that depicts a quiet suburban scene dominated by a white house set against lush greenery and an expansive blue sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1985.

    The composition is pared back to essential geometric forms – rectangular planes of house, hedge, and pavement, offset by rounded, block-like shapes of trees and bushes. A solitary vertical pole bisects the scene, adding structure and balance.

    The style is characteristically modernist, emphasizing abstraction over fine detail. Colours are laid down in broad, flat fields: vivid cobalt blue for the sky, deep greens for the hedges, warm purples and greys for the street and hillside, punctuated by flashes of yellow and red that animate the composition.

    The brushstrokes are bold, applied with confident, blocky movements that create a sense of solidity and rhythm rather than illusionistic depth. This restrained yet expressive handling distills the everyday view into a harmonious study of form, colour, and balance.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition – there is some light surface craquelure to the house areas as shown in close ups but the paint layer is very stable.

  • Sailboats in Still Waters

    Sailboats in Still Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid-century seascape that captures a serene harbour scene with a row of sailboats gently anchored, their tall masts mirrored in the calm water below, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of soft blues, sandy beiges, and muted whites, evoking the hazy atmosphere of a sunlit coastal morning. The forms are simplified and abstracted, emphasising shape and tonal harmony over fine detail.

    Broad, confident brushstrokes define the sails and their reflections, while areas of the canvas are left with a loose, almost sketch-like quality, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood. The surface shows a subtle layering of paint, where hints of underpainting peek through, adding depth and texture.

    This work balances elegance and abstraction, offering both a sense of place and a timeless modernist aesthetic.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Afternoon Lesson

    Afternoon Lesson

    £615

    Available

    Free UK Shipping only.

    A large and outstanding mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, 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 painting captures a tender moment between two figures, likely an adult and a child, engaged in a shared activity – perhaps reading – on a pale yellow surface held between them. The figures are rendered with bold black contour lines and simplified geometric forms, evoking a quiet intimacy and emotional restraint characteristic of modernist abstraction.

    The palette is soft yet expressive, with cool mint green and powder blue balanced against pale yellow, white, and black. Textural brushwork adds depth, especially in the background and garment areas, where layers of impasto reveal the artist’s hand. The faceless figures and stylized forms invite universal interpretation, evoking themes of mentorship, learning, and companionship without prescribing a specific narrative.

    Executed with a controlled yet expressive brush, this work speaks to the elegance of restraint – where every shape and colour block carries emotional weight.

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

  • Nordic Table Setting

    Nordic Table Setting

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A finely detailed 20th century large watercolour still life that captures a traditional Nordic feast laid out with precision and care, and dated 1918.

    At the centre of the composition is a generous cut of cured ham, its rich brown crust and creamy interior rendered with remarkable realism. Surrounding it are slices of rye crispbread, cold cuts, some cheese, and neatly folded napkins on delicate blue-and-white porcelain. A platter of fresh fruit  – apples, pears, and citrus – rises elegantly in a pedestal dish, while a curling sausage rests on a plate nearby. A floral arrangement in muted greens and browns adds an organic vertical balance to the arrangement, set against a soft teal curtain with an ornamental pattern.

    The style is naturalistic and quietly formal, with a focus on precision, order, and calm. The artist’s palette leans toward cool tones – icy blues, soft greys, and earthy greens – offset by warm browns and flesh tones in the food. The brushwork is delicate and controlled, with smooth washes and crisp lines characteristic of high mastery in watercolour technique.

    Textures are rendered with great sensitivity – from the porous bread to the glossy porcelain and leafy greens – imbuing the everyday subject matter with a sense of quiet reverence.

    This watercolour on paper  is housed in a complementary wood frame, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). Both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Boats at Rest

    Boats at Rest

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures the quiet charm of a coastal scene, executed in oil onto board.

    Two boldly coloured boats – one in deep navy blue, the other in brick red – rest upon warm ochre sands, their strong silhouettes set against whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs. Behind them, rolling green hills meet a vivid band of cobalt sky, while the turquoise edge of the sea curves into view at the foreground.

    Executed with a modernist sensibility, the scene is reduced to simplified geometric forms and flat planes of rich colour, outlined in confident black strokes. The palette balances earthy warmth with refreshing coastal blues and greens, evoking both the heat of the sun and the coolness of the sea breeze. The smooth, uniform brushwork enhances the crisp, graphic quality of the composition, lending it a timeless feel.

    This oil on board is presented in a wooden frame with a linen inner border that beautifully complements the painting’s bold lines and coastal palette. Both the artwork and frame display some water marks and age-related spots, consistent with their vintage character. The frame also bears some scuffs and some scratches, most notably along the top right edge.

  • Twilight Stream

    Twilight Stream

    £485

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A atmospheric composition that captures the quiet drama of a winter landscape yielding to the subtle warmth of dusk setting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1987.

    This expressive scene depicts a partially frozen stream meandering through snow-covered banks, framed by dark, leafless trees and a softly glowing sky. The distant treeline is rendered in deep purples, blues and black, while the sky behind it glows with streaks of peach, rose, and apricot – suggesting the final light of day.

    The artist has used swift brushstrokes, especially in the forest and sky, that conveys movement and atmosphere. The snowbanks are painted with thick, angular swathes of white, grey, and pale pink, while the water is composed of smoother, horizontal strokes in blues and greys, lending a mirror-like stillness. The overall style merges impressionism with expressionist undertones, balancing realism with emotional depth.

    This oil on board  is presented in a complementary linen-lined wooden frame with a gilt inner edge. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks on its linen border as well as some small scuffs.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large expressive and atmospheric mid-century modernist coastal landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    This evocative oil painting captures a trio of boats beached on a windswept shore. Three figures stand nearby, anchoring the scene with a quiet human presence. The ocean churns with silvery greys, whites, and muted blues, reflecting the turbulent energy of an overcast day by the sea.

    The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and a subdued, tonal palette dominated by stormy greys, whites, and earthy ochres. The water is rendered with rhythmic horizontal strokes, while the sky and sand are textured with layered impasto, imbuing the painting with a tactile, atmospheric quality. The composition speaks to the raw beauty of nature and the enduring relationship between humans and the sea.

  • By the Waterbank

    By the Waterbank

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a tranquil riverside scene with a subtle narrative undertone, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

    Two figures rest on the grassy bank of a still canal, their gazes drawn toward a moored boat and a drawbridge in the distance. The composition is balanced by low farm buildings on the left and the soft sprawl of countryside under a cool, clouded sky.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is thick and confident, capturing texture and movement, especially in the turbulent sky and reflective water. The palette is dominated by muted tones: steely blues, sage greens, earthy browns, and soft greys, evoking a moody, contemplative atmosphere. The overall effect is quietly cinematic  – a fleeting moment of stillness rendered with emotional restraint and painterly clarity.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

  • Coastal Descent

    Coastal Descent

    £545

    Available

    Free UK shipping Only.

    A very soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures a sun-drenched coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The viewer is positioned atop a steep stone path that winds between whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and geometric stone facades, descending toward the vivid blue sea. Three figures clad in dark robes – possibly local women carrying items on their heads – add a quiet human rhythm to the otherwise architectural scene.

    Rendered in flattened planes and simplified forms, the painting embraces a distinctly modernist approach. The brushwork is thick and confident, with textures and scumbled surfaces lending weight to the cobbled path and sky alike. The palette is subdued yet radiant: earthy browns and clay reds contrast with greys, chalky whites, and Mediterranean blues, invoking both warmth and distance.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. The painting has small areas of craquelure present, but the paint layer is stable and it is in good condition overall.

  • A Moment to Herself

    A Moment to Herself

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century figurative painting painted in 1955 that captures a contemplative figure absorbed in quiet work, seated near a sunlit window,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject is cloaked in soft whites and muted yellows. Her back is turned, head bowed slightly, hands poised at a table – offering a moment of private introspection or perhaps diligent creation.

    Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition flattens and abstracts the figure and environment into planes of diffused light and soft geometry. The painting evokes a hushed, almost spiritual atmosphere, reinforced by the play of cool blues and dusky purples that mingle with the warm earth tones of the interior.

    The artist’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate, layering paint in broad, textural strokes that blur the lines between body and space. The window, though suggested rather than rendered in full detail, casts a cool radiance into the room, lending a structural balance and emotional focal point.

    This is a quietly moving piece – imbued with the kind of everyday poetry that typified mid-century figurative painting, where solitude, domesticity, and light become the true subjects.

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

  • Facade in Focus

    Facade in Focus

    £495

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    A striking street scene that depicts a neighbourhood with robust, urban buildings rendered in bold linear rhythm, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    The façades are portrayed in a schematic and stylised manner, as strong black outlines segment the pale grey and white surfaces. Set against a smooth grey street with cobblestone detailing, the scene is framed by brick pillars and a wrought-iron fence, suggesting a modest residential area. A lone tree, ablaze with orange and green leaves, punctuates the structured composition and introduces a vivid contrast—perhaps hinting at early autumn.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work is characterised by its simplified forms, matte application, and confident brushwork. There is little modulation or blending – colours are laid down decisively, giving the piece a graphic, almost print-like clarity. The result is a striking yet quiet depiction of place, both grounded in reality and filtered through a stylised, personal lens.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs, particularly at its top left corner.

    Size: 73 x 86 cm (including frame)

  • Impression of a Town

    Impression of a Town

    £475

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    An expressive and dynamic mid-century modernist painting that captures a vibrant urban townscape street scene,  executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

    The scene unfolds from an elevated perspective, looking down a narrow street flanked by terracotta rooftops, brown and sand coloured façades, and other architectural forms. A cluster of rooftops and chimneys gives way to a distant dome, while a tall crane looms subtly in the background.

    Painted with vigorous, assured brushstrokes, the work blends figuration with abstraction, favouring impression over precision. The artist employs a warm, earthy palette – orange, mustard, slate, and burgundy – offset by cooler greys and whites that evoke a moody, overcast sky. Areas of thick, dry brushwork and layered paint convey the texture of old walls and cobbled ground, while vertical lines and angular forms lead the eye deep into the composition.

    Lively yet grounded, this piece wonderfully captures the atmosphere and rhythm of everyday life in a city as it quietly unfolds.

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

  • The Space Between

    The Space Between

    £640

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A 21st-century minimalist abstract painting that explores the interplay between negative space and geometric form with meditative clarity, executed in oil on canvas.

    Dominated by a large, white shape that stretches vertically across the canvas, the composition is framed by two symmetrical bands of muted green on either side. These green sections are not sharply delineated but instead curve inward with organic fluidity, forming the edges of the central void.

    Executed in a minimalist style, the work bears no visible brushstrokes, suggesting the use of masking techniques or flat application of paint to achieve a crisp, graphic finish. The simplicity of the colour palette – clean white and a subdued forest green – lends a serene, contemplative tone, inviting the viewer to reflect on the tension between form and emptiness, presence and absence. A subtle nod to mid-century minimalism, this piece balances structure and softness with elegant restraint.

    This work appeals emotionally through its stillness and subtle rhythm, and intellectually through its form-driven abstraction—a reminder that art doesn’t need to explain itself to be deeply affecting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size:  83 x 83 cm (including frame)

  • Sunset by the Pines

    Sunset by the Pines

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating modernist landscape that captures a serene winter evening in a town, painted with a whimsical yet sophisticated hand., executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2004.

    The composition is anchored by slender, trees stretching vertically across the canvas, their trunks etched in expressive, confident brushstrokes. Beyond the trees, a snow-covered red cottage stands bathed in the glow of a pink and amber sunset, with a fiery sun gently sinking into the horizon.

    The artist has used a vivid yet harmonious palette- rosy pinks, icy blues, yellows, and earthy browns. Snow is rendered in light texture, while delicate dabs of white and gold depict the last leaves of autumn clinging to frosted branches. A few scattered birds and a ladder leaning against the cottage hint at daily life amidst stillness.

    Executed in a stylised, semi-naïve manner, the work evokes the warmth of memory at of seasonal transition.

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

    A serene mid-century modernist landscape that captures a cluster of farmhouses nestled within a stylised patchwork of verdant fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition evokes the stillness of the countryside, with a rhythmic interplay between architectural form and geometric land divisions. Rendered in a cool, muted palette of sage, grey and hints of dark brown, the scene exudes a meditative calm.

    The artist’s brushwork is confident yet restrained – large flat planes and subtle tonal shifts create a softly abstracted effect, lending the landscape an almost dreamlike quality. The sky is rendered in pale washes, while the layered fields below suggest distance and depth through carefully constructed blocks of colour.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning frame with multiple profiles. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very some scuffing, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

  • The Shaded Cottage

    The Shaded Cottage

    £730

    Available

    Free UK delivery only.

    A charming mid-century modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The painting captures a tranquil rural scene rendered with bold simplification and abstracted form. The skilful interplay of light and shadow suggests a late afternoon sun. Thatched-roof cottages are nestled along a gently curving path, partially obscured by the angular branches of leafless trees. The geometric structure of the roofs contrasts beautifully with the organic rhythm of the trunks and overhanging limbs.

    Executed in a restrained but earthy palette, the artist creates depth and harmony without unnecessary detail. The brushstrokes are broad and gestural, giving the composition a sense of immediacy and movement, while maintaining a strong architectural rhythm.

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

  • The Shape of Thought (Very Large)

    The Shape of Thought (Very Large)

    £995

    Available

    Free UK Delivery Only.

    A large and outstanding mid century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted onto board 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 painting presents a bold and dynamic interpretation of the human form, fragmented into intersecting shapes and saturated blocks of colour. At the centre, a green torso-like shape anchors the composition, surrounded by gestural planes of midnight blue, ivory white, forest green, sky grey, and cerulean. Hints of yellow and red punctuate the palette with energy, while the heavy use of impasto and palette knife work brings a sense of raw physicality to the surface.

    Though abstract, the overlapping forms and contours evoke the impression of a seated or contemplative figure, abstracted almost to the point of pure form. The figure emerges from and dissolves into the background, suggesting emotional introspection or transformation. The painter’s brushwork is assertive yet nuanced, blending thickly applied oil with moments of scraped texture and layered opacity.

    In both its materiality and expressive ambiguity, the painting speaks to the search for identity through abstraction, emotion, and gesture.

    Close to a metre in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited hessian lined frame with an inner silver border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing. 

    Size: 99 x 78 cm (including frame)

  • The Rail Yards at Dusk

    The Rail Yards at Dusk

    £565

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.

    Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.

    The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some loss as shown. 

    Size: 66 x 79 cm (including frame)
