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.

Forms in Motion
£825
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist abstract oil composition dated 1965, 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.

This painting explores the interplay of organic form, colour and movement. Large, loosely defined shapes gather and overlap across the canvas, creating a lively visual rhythm that feels simultaneously spontaneous and carefully balanced. The forms remain deliberately ambiguous, inviting associations with leaves, petals or fragments of the natural world without resolving into a recognisable subject.

The palette is particularly distinctive, bringing together powdery blue, fresh lime green, warm brown, burnt orange and earthy brick red, punctuated by bold areas of charcoal black. Sections of creamy white provide moments of openness between the denser passages of colour, while the contrasting warm and cool tones give the composition its wonderful energy.

Stylistically, the painting has a distinctly mid-century modernist sensibility, with an emphasis on simplified organic forms and expressive colour rather than representation. There is an almost collage-like quality to the arrangement, as individual shapes appear layered, interlocked and suspended across the surface.

The brushwork is loose, visible and wonderfully tactile. Short, overlapping strokes remain evident within the larger blocks of colour, creating subtle variations in tone and texture. Rather than striving for perfectly polished edges, the artist allows the hand-painted quality of the work to remain visible, lending the composition an appealing immediacy and warmth.

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

Geometric Neighbourhood
£565
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century composition of a neighbourhood, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the scene is defined by tall houses that have been skilfully reduced to geometric blocks in contrasting colours, with a splash of fun patterned dots.

Rich earthy tones dominate the palette – deep turquoise and emerald greens are punctuated by lighter greens, with hints of black, brown, and white and yellow demonstrating depth to the painting. The artist’s use of these colours creates a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

Despite the simplified forms, the neighbourhood’s lively energy is palpable, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the shapes, colours, and expressive brushwork.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very minor scuffs.

Three Ladies
£1,315
Sold

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

The composition depicts three elongated female figures standing closely together beneath a glowing amber sun. Their simplified silhouettes and dramatically oversized, geometric headwear lend the composition an almost ceremonial quality, while their close arrangement suggests companionship, solidarity and quiet intimacy.

The artist approaches the figures with a distinctly modernist sensibility, reducing the human form to elegant shapes and flattened planes. Facial features are deliberately minimal – small eyes and flashes of red at the lips emerge from dark faces – allowing posture, pattern and proportion to carry the expression. The exaggerated rectangular forms above the figures create a wonderful architectural rhythm across the upper half of the composition, contrasting with the softer curves of their shoulders and the setting sun behind them.

The palette is beautifully restrained and earthy, dominated by tobacco brown, umber, charcoal, muted taupe and warm terracotta. Against these subdued tones, touches of burnished ochre and golden yellow illuminate the patterned garments and echo the glowing sun, while tiny accents of blue and deep red provide unexpected points of colour.

Brushwork is largely soft and controlled, with broad areas of thinly worked, matte colour creating the painting’s characteristic flattened appearance. The edges retain a slight softness and irregularity that reveals the hand of the artist rather than feeling rigidly graphic. More animated marks appear within the clothing: loosely brushed golden squares, narrow vertical strokes and scattered jewel-like dabs create texture and individuality across each figure. These small painterly details enliven the otherwise restrained composition and provide a pleasing counterpoint to its bold geometric forms.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful and very well suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a mark to the bottom section of the linen border, which does not detract from the overall appearance of the piece.

Size: 79 x 79 cm (including frame)

Trio Gathering
£890
Sold

Free UK Shipping Only.

A bold and compelling mid-century geometric composition depicting a closely gathered group of abstracted figures, executed in oil onto board.

The subjects emerge through an arrangement of interlocking angular planes, their bodies reduced to elongated blocks, faceted forms and sharply defined silhouettes. While distinctly figurative, the painting moves confidently towards abstraction, allowing the figures to read almost as a single architectural structure.

The work has a distinctly cubist and geometric abstract character, with perspective flattened and the human form fragmented into overlapping geometric shapes. The tightly compressed grouping creates a wonderful sense of intimacy and collective presence, while subtle variations in height, posture and direction give each figure an individual identity. There is an intriguing ambiguity to the scene – the figures might be engaged in conversation, gathered in contemplation, or simply occupying the same space.

The palette is wonderfully restrained, dominated by charcoal black, slate grey and muted olive, punctuated by passages of chalky white, pale stone, smoky blue-grey and occasional warm cream. These lighter facets illuminate portions of the figures almost like shafts of light, creating depth and rhythm against the darker forms.

Brushwork is controlled yet visibly painterly. Broad areas of colour have been applied in relatively flat, opaque passages, with softly irregular edges and subtle variations in surface texture preventing the geometry from feeling overly rigid. The occasional trace of the brush and unevenness of pigment lend warmth and tactility to the otherwise disciplined composition.

A striking example of mid-century geometric figuration, balancing the recognisable human form with bold abstraction, architectural structure and a sophisticated, subdued palette.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Where the Land Fades

Sold

SOLD

A large and very atmospheric painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

A vast expanse of soft blue-grey sky dominates the composition, while the landscape below is suggested rather than defined through loose passages of sage green, chalky white, dusty pink and muted mauve. Fleeting marks hint at fields, water, distant trees and perhaps a road or pathway disappearing into the scene, but nothing is quite fixed — allowing the landscape to hover beautifully between abstraction and reality.

With its large size, it has real presence without feeling overpowering; its generous scale and wonderfully subdued palette give it a quiet, contemplative quality that would bring both softness and interest to a room.

This painting is housed in a very complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing.

The Family Sitting Room
£450
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A charming mid-century interior that captures the warmth and familiarity of a well-loved family sitting room, executed in oil onto board and dated 1941.

A glowing brick fireplace forms the heart of the composition, surrounded by polished copper cookware displayed proudly on the walls. A grandfather clock, a rocking chair with a striped cloth, woven rugs and green curtained windows complete the inviting domestic scene, creating a portrait of everyday life filled with comfort and tradition.

Painted in a restrained modernist style, the composition balances careful perspective with simplified forms and clean geometry. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist emphasises the harmony between furniture, architecture and decorative objects, producing an interior that feels both intimate and thoughtfully composed.

A warm palette of terracotta, honeyed browns, soft creams and rich walnut browns is contrasted with muted greens, slate blues and charcoal accents. The glowing copper pans and flickering fire introduce gentle highlights that animate the otherwise calm, earthy interior.

The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint defining the architectural forms and furnishings. Subtle visible brushstrokes soften surfaces and add warmth without becoming overly expressive.

This oil on board is presented in complementary wood frame with a softly aged cream finish, accented by delicate gilt detailing along the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and paint wear, consistent with age and use.

Quiet Shoreline
£625
Sold

SOLD

A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape depicting a quiet waterside scene beneath a luminous, overcast sky, executed in oil onto board.

Dense trees anchor the composition on the left, their rich foliage contrasting beautifully with the expansive sweep of pale water and sky beyond. In the distance, a solitary sailboat glides across the calm surface, while a faint shoreline dissolves into the atmospheric haze, creating an impression of remarkable depth and serenity.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting captures the essence of the landscape rather than its precise details. Broad, confident brushstrokes and softly blended passages allow forms to emerge naturally, lending the work a quiet spontaneity. The restrained composition embraces negative space, with the vast sky becoming as important as the land itself, reinforcing the painting’s contemplative mood.

The palette is beautifully understated, composed of muted greys, soft blue-greens, sage, olive, and deep forest tones, gently enlivened by touches of warm browns along the shoreline. The subtle tonal transitions between sky and water create an almost ethereal atmosphere, while the darker mass of trees provides a striking visual counterbalance.

Brushwork varies from expressive, layered strokes within the foliage to delicate, feathered applications across the water and sky. This contrast between richly textured foreground elements and the softly painted distance creates a convincing sense of perspective and invites the viewer into the peaceful stillness of the scene.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a gently distressed cream finish, and complemented by gilt detailing around the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there is some light craquelure visible on the inner top white section of the frame.

Abstract Horizon
£675
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A mid-century modernist abstract landscape painting that captures a rugged, windswept terrain through expressive and gestural brushwork, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition evokes an expansive natural scene, possibly an autumnal field or rocky desert, with layered horizontal bands of colour suggesting depth and movement. The artist has used bold black forms scattered across the canvas, which could represent geological formations, shadows, or abstracted land contours.

Rendered in a striking palette of earthy ochres, deep rusts, and burnt yellows, the warm hues contrast dramatically against the bolder black strokes. The upper section features a pale beige sky, creating a sense of atmospheric openness that enhances the composition’s spatial depth.

The painting is executed with raw, gestural brushstrokes and areas of impasto, adding an energetic and dynamic quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Contrasting Silhouettes
£860
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting presents the silhouette of 2 figures, rendered in bold and contrasting colours of orange, black, grey, and white, against a deep black backdrop. The figures stand side by side, their forms simplified and stripped of realistic detail, emphasising their shapes and the dynamic interplay of colours.

The abstract nature of the painting draws attention to the contrast between the hues, creating a sense of depth and movement within the piece. The overall effect is striking, with the stark background intensifying the vibrancy of the figures.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some light marks, but nothing that detracts from its overall appearance. The frame has a small mark at its bottom left corner.

Cradle
£915
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

A vibrant and expressive figurative portrait composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

The focal point of the composition is a figure in a blue shirt, seated at a table and engrossed in reading a book. The background depicts a winter landscape painting hanging on the wall that has been painted with a rich mix of green and yellow hues.

The artist has used the power of brushstrokes and a rich and striking colour palette to highlight emotion. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece.

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

The Green Ball
£850
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1966 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 sit on a black and white surface, with one green ball punctuating the centre of the composition. 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 uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green in the middle, which draws our eyes 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 wonderfully presented in a distressed wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very light wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

Size: 66 x 75 cm (including frame)

Theatre Performance
£510
Available

Free UK shipping only.

A large and wonderfully painted expressive modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

A male figure dressed in a costume and wearing a baroque mask punctuates the centre of the painting. He is in character and is depicted in action, as he performs on a stage.

The artist has worked with a calm and restrained colour palette comprising light shades of blue, white and grey, and has skilfully paired the contrasting tones that not only harmonise so beautifully together, but also highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the respective forms.

This oil on board is housed in a wide-profile textured frame that pairs perfectly with the painting. The painting has some areas of losses to the top section, as shown in close ups. The frame has some losses and wear, including an area to the top part of the inner frame slip, as shown in photos.

Threshold of Presence
£775
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A compelling mid-century abstract figurative composition in which a solitary standing figure gradually emerges from an energetic arrangement of colour and gesture, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

Rather than defining the subject through precise outlines, the artist allows broad planes of paint and carefully balanced negative space to suggest the human form, inviting the viewer to complete the narrative through observation. The result is both expressive and contemplative, capturing presence through abstraction rather than detail.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the painting balances gestural abstraction with figurative suggestion. Large geometric passages and painterly forms create a dynamic architectural rhythm. The work is confident, and every mark contributes to the overall harmony of shape, balance and movement.

The palette is rich and sophisticated, combining deep burgundy and rust with warm ivory, chocolate brown and charcoal black. Accents of blue-green provide striking contrast, introducing depth and visual tension against the warmer earth tones. The interplay of dark and light passages gives the composition both weight and luminosity.

Brushwork is bold, expressive and highly tactile. Broad palette-knife passages sit alongside dry-brushed textures and confidently loaded strokes, revealing the physicality of the artist’s process. Areas of opaque paint contrast with lightly scumbled surfaces, allowing underlying layers to subtly emerge and enriching the painting with texture, movement and a strong sense of material presence.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm gilt finish. silver frame. Both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A large and very charming 1948 interior scene, painted in oil onto board.

The painting invites us into a room filled with personality. A favourite green armchair sits among a carefully gathered collection of paintings, golden frames, warm wooden details, and a sunlit view beyond the window.

The artist captures more than just a room. They capture the spirit of someone who lives surrounded by the things they love. Each picture on the wall feels like a memory, each object carefully chosen and kept. The slightly playful perspective and expressive brushwork give the painting a storybook quality, where the chair itself almost becomes the collector — proudly keeping watch over its little gallery.

Rich yellows, earthy browns, and deep greens create a nostalgic glow, while the glimpse of the garden outside brings freshness and life into the space. Full of character and mid-century charm, this piece is a joyful portrait of collecting, creativity, and the beauty of a home shaped by art.

Fields Beyond the Viaduct

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modern composition that presents a serene landscape scene viewed from an elevated vantage point, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of white farm buildings with distinctive red roofs nestles among gently undulating fields, while a graceful arched viaduct traverses the middle ground, guiding the eye through the composition. Scattered trees punctuate the rolling terrain, lending rhythm and balance to the peaceful agricultural setting.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the painting simplifies the landscape into broad geometric forms and carefully balanced shapes. The composition captures the essence of the countryside rather than its precise details, where structure, colour, and mood take precedence over realism.

The palette is beautifully restrained, comprising muted sage greens, dusty blues, soft browns, warm browns, pale creams, and gentle greys. The small accents of terracotta red on the rooftops provide a focal point and introduce warmth against the otherwise subdued tones.

Brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with thinly applied paint and broad, confident strokes defining the contours of the fields and hillsides. Soft blending and layered washes create a sense of depth and atmosphere, while visible directional brushstrokes lend movement and texture to the cultivated landscape. The result is a composition that feels both tranquil and thoughtfully constructed.

This oil on canvas is presented in wood frame with attractive grain detailing and a complementary gilt inner slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Along the Blue Coast
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modernist landscape that distils a coastal scene into a series of simplified shapes and harmonious colour fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling greenery, pale hillside forms, and a deep blue sea are reduced to their essential elements, creating a composition that feels both abstract and recognisably rooted in nature.

The artist employs a distinctly modernist approach, favouring flat planes of colour over detailed representation. Houses emerge from the landscape as geometric forms, their pale facades and muted terracotta roofs nestled amongst rounded masses of foliage. The result is a composition that balances abstraction with a strong sense of place, evoking the warmth and tranquillity of a Mediterranean coastal setting.

The palette is beautifully restrained, dominated by soft sage greens, pale mint tones, cool greys, and varying shades of blue. These colours create a gentle rhythm across the surface, while subtle contrasts between the dark foliage and luminous architectural forms provide depth and visual structure. The expansive blue sea and sky lend the work a calm, contemplative atmosphere.

Brushwork is confident. Broad, deliberate applications of paint define the landscape through shape rather than detail, while visible texture and vertical traces within the paint surface reveal the artist’s hand. The slightly uneven application of colour enhances the work’s tactile quality, reinforcing its modernist character and lending warmth to its simplified forms.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim cream-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks.

Sunlit Parlour
£470
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

An intimate mid-century interior painting that captures a domestic room bathed in soft daylight, executed in oil onto canvas.

A simple arrangement of furniture: a central table, sideboard, chair, and decorative stand is positioned around a large window, through which glimpses of greenery and sky provide a sense of openness and calm. The composition celebrates the beauty of everyday interiors, transforming an ordinary living space into a study of light, atmosphere, and form.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist simplifies the furnishings into geometric shapes and broad planes of colour. The perspective is intentionally relaxed and slightly flattened, lending the work an intimate, spontaneous quality.

The palette is warm and inviting, dominated by earthy terracotta, russet, ochre, and soft beige tones, balanced by cool accents of pale blue, slate grey, and muted turquoise. Sunlight streaming through the window creates subtle contrasts of warm and cool hues, animating the room with a gentle luminosity.

Brushwork is confident and expressive, with visible directional strokes and areas of loosely applied paint. The artist employs a combination of dry-brush textures, layered washes, and energetic mark-making, allowing the structure of the composition to emerge through painterly gesture rather than precise detail. This lively handling gives the painting a sense of immediacy and warmth, perfectly complementing its tranquil subject matter.

This oil on canvas is presented in a well-suited hessian-lined frame that features a gilt inner slip and linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Abstracted Nature
£650
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within in a card mount and a black stained wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex. The frame has some very minor scuffing as seen in the photos.

Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

Size: 54 x 73 cm (including frame)

A large and brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

A richly layered and highly expressive landscape, this painting captures the untamed beauty of the natural world through a complex interplay of colour, texture and movement. Although abstracted in style, the composition evokes the familiarity of a wild valley or mountain pass, with sweeping forms suggesting rolling hills, winding paths and distant peaks beneath an expansive sky.

Built up with multiple layers of paint, the surface is wonderfully textured and full of character. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of energy and depth, revealing subtle shifts in tone and gesture the longer you look. Dominant hues of deep reds, moss greens, ochres and earthy browns merge and overlap to create a warm, grounded palette that feels closely connected to the land itself.

When caught by the light, brighter passages of pale blue, blush pink and soft cream emerge from within the composition, adding luminosity and contrast. These lighter notes bring a sense of atmosphere and openness, as though sunlight is breaking through clouds and illuminating sections of the landscape below.

There is a compelling sense of both movement and structure in the work. Fluid, sweeping marks guide the eye through the scene, while the varied colours and textures create a layered terrain that feels rugged, organic and alive. The painting rewards close inspection, revealing new details and relationships with each viewing.

Bold yet harmonious, this piece would bring warmth, depth and a strong connection to nature into an interior. It is an engaging and atmospheric work for anyone drawn to expressive landscapes and richly textured contemporary painting.

This large painting is beautifully presented in a custom made white tray frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

Whispering Canopy
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that depicts a tranquil setting centred around a narrow stream and a cluster of trees rising from soft green embankments, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

The composition carries a quiet, reflective mood, with the delicate branches dissolving into a hazy landscape beyond. Surrounding the upper branches is a luminous veil of light cream paint that softly suggests foliage or leaves emerging through mist, lending the scene a gentle seasonal transition and an almost dreamlike glow.

Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting balances abstraction with landscape observation. The artist uses expressive, gestural brushwork and layered paint application, allowing forms to appear and disappear across the surface. Fine linear strokes defining the trees contrast beautifully with broader painterly passages and softly feathered areas of cream and green. Scraped-back textures and visible brush movement add depth and spontaneity to the composition.

The palette is subtle and harmonious, featuring muted sage greens, pale creams, warm beige tones, and soft earthy greys. The creamy passages surrounding the branches evoke light filtering through sparse leaves or blossom, creating an airy softness against the more grounded green foreground. Altogether, the work possesses a calm, poetic quality.

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

Cubist Hillside
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking cubist-style modernist composition that captures a cluster of houses nestled beneath towering trees and radiant geometric hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

Painted in a vertically elongated format, the scene unfolds: guiding the eye upward from timber-framed cottages and red rooftops toward pale angular mountains and a glowing cream-coloured sun.

Executed in a modernist style with cubist influences, the composition is built from fractured planes and intersecting triangular forms that give the landscape a rhythmic, architectural structure. The tall dark trees act as dramatic vertical anchors against the luminous pastel terrain, lending the work both serenity and monumentality.

The palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft creams, pale peach, muted sage, dusty blue, and earthy browns contrasted against deep forest greens and near-black shadows. Areas of impasto and textured layering create a tactile surface, while expressive brushstrokes and scraped passages reveal an intuitive, painterly hand. The faceted hills and sky are rendered with angular sweeps of paint, adding movement and light throughout the composition.

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

A Moment to Read
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure absorbed in reading, positioned beside a softly lit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

The setting feels intimate and introspective – books are stacked and scattered across a desk and nearby surfaces. The figure’s posture, slightly bowed over the book, conveys a sense of stillness and focus.

Rendered in a distinctly expressive, modernist style, the composition leans toward abstraction without losing its figurative anchor. The artist simplifies the figure’s facial features, allowing gesture and stance to carry emotional weight. There is a subtle tension between structure and looseness – forms are blocked in with confidence, yet edges dissolve and shift, lending the scene a fleeting quality.

The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep charcoals, and mossy greens, punctuated by passages of pale blue and a warm, luminous yellow from the window light. This interplay of cool and warm tones creates depth and atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the glowing interior light source.

Brushstrokes are tactile and deliberate: thick, painterly applications of oil give the surface a textured, almost sculptural quality. The handling is direct and unrefined in places, with visible strokes that trace the artist’s hand, reinforcing the immediacy and emotional sincerity of the work.

This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful champagne coloured wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Twilight Path
£465
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a hushed forest scene at nightfall, where fading light settles softly over a quiet woodland, executed in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a gently defined and inviting path emerges, guiding the eye inward and creating a subtle sense of movement through the stillness.

Rendered in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist distils the forest into softened bands and gestural marks. Trees are suggested rather than defined, dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elusive, with the path offering structure amid the increasingly shadowed landscape.

The colour palette leans into cool, moody tones: muted greens, deepened aquas, smoky greys, and chalky whites – layered to evoke the last traces of light filtering through the trees. Darker, almost inky accents anchor the composition, hinting at tree trunks and the quiet density of the forest as it recedes into shadow.

Brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, horizontal strokes shape the landscape and the path, while thicker, textured applications of paint add weight and tactility in the foreground. More translucent layers in the background soften the scene, allowing forms to blur gently into one another, enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is presented in a refined, light-toned wood frame featuring a gently stepped profile and a contrasting black inset which creates a striking visual border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Where Houses Gather
£825
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century composition that depicts a cluster of closely nestled houses as their angular rooftops form a rhythmic patchwork against a soft open sky, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Wilhelm Wik (1897-1987), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, to name a few.

The scene appears gently elevated, allowing the viewer to look across the rooftops toward a calm, pale horizon. A small domed structure rises subtly among the buildings, adding a sense of place and quiet architectural character.

Rendered in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and flattened perspective. The houses are reduced to bold geometric shapes, outlined with confident, dark lines that lend structure and clarity to the composition. There is a deliberate absence of fine detail, allowing the interplay of shape and colour to take centre stage.

The colour palette is warm yet restrained: soft creams and sandy tones form the buildings, while pops of terracotta and burnt orange on the rooftops introduce gentle contrast. These are balanced by deep, expressive greens in the foreground foliage, painted in loose, gestural strokes that bring movement and texture to the lower edge of the scene. The sky is rendered in a calm, neutral wash, enhancing the overall sense of stillness and light.

Brushwork varies across the surface: the architecture is treated with flatter, more controlled applications of paint, while the greenery is handled with thicker, more fluid strokes, creating a pleasing tension between order and spontaneity.

This oil on board is presented in a characterful wooden frame which features a rustic wood finish with visible grain and a stepped gilt inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some paint loss to the gilded section of the frame, consistent with age, however this does not detract from its overall appearance or charm.

Old Town Reverie
£475
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A contemplative and nostalgic 20th century street scene composition that captures a quiet yet animated urban square, where figures drift through a softened architectural landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

Tall, weathered buildings rise in layered formation, their facades dissolving into one another. In the foreground, loosely rendered figures – some in conversation, others moving independently – animate the space with a gentle rhythm, giving the composition a sense of everyday life observed from a distance.

The style leans toward a semi-abstract impressionism, where structure and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The artist has employed a restrained palette of light yellows, muted creams, soft greys, and earthy browns, punctuated by occasional darker accents in the figures. These tones create a hazy, almost nostalgic ambiance, as if the scene is filtered through memory or mist.

Brushwork is expressive and fluid, with vertical strokes elongating the buildings and lending them a sense of quiet monumentality. The figures are sketched with minimal, gestural marks – suggestive rather than defined – allowing the viewer to interpret their presence and movement. Areas of paint appear scraped back or layered thinly, adding texture and depth, while softer washes create an atmospheric, almost ethereal ground.

Overall, the painting balances structure and abstraction beautifully, offering a poetic interpretation of urban life – less about a specific place, and more about the feeling of being within it.

This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame that features a gently stepped profile with soft ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A Gathering Across Planes
£910
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century composition that presents a rhythmic display of abstracted figures moving through a fractured, almost mosaic-like landscape, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Gunnar Greiber (1919 – 2011), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet, Västerås Art Museum, Sundsvall Museum, Östersund Museum, Hudiksvall Museum, as well as the Hälsingland Museum.

Slender, linear forms – rendered in vivid red- suggest human silhouettes, gathering across a dense field of angular shapes. These figures feel both primitive and modern, evoking a sense of movement and quiet connectivity within an otherwise chaotic environment.

Stylistically, the painting leans into mid-century abstraction with strong influences of cubism and figurative modernism. The scene is constructed from interlocking geometric planes, compressing depth and perspective into a flattened, dynamic surface. The figures are reduced to essential lines and nodes, almost symbolic in nature, contrasting sharply with the weightier, block-like forms that surround them.

The colour palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds, burgundy, plum, and umber, interspersed with cooler passages of slate blue, charcoal, and muted lavender. Occasional accents of green and pale cream provide visual relief, while the recurring red linear figures create a unifying thread across the composition.

Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Paint is applied in thick, deliberate patches, giving each geometric fragment a tactile presence. The interplay between matte and slightly more saturated passages enhances the sense of depth, despite the overall flattened structure. The result is a compelling balance between order and spontaneity – an intricate visual rhythm that invites the eye to wander and discover new relationships within the composition.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant wood frame with a linen-lined outer border and an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

The Striped Room
£1,200
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant mid-century modern still life painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Bengt Orup (1916–1996), whose works are held in major international collections including Moderna Museet and National Museum in Stockholm, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Tessin Institute in Paris, and many more.

The composition presents two sculptural black vessels arranged before a window. One holds a radiant sunflower rendered in a bold, simplified form, while the other cradles stylised fruit, depicted as faceted geometric shapes. Through the window behind them, a small red and green landscape appear, adding a quiet narrative element that contrasts with the graphic interior setting. Framing the scene are striking red-and-white horizontal stripes, creating a rhythmic backdrop that energises the composition and draws the eye inward.

Orup’s modernist approach reduces objects to strong geometric silhouettes and carefully balanced shapes. The palette is vivid yet controlled: deep black vessels anchor the composition against bright sunflower yellow, warm reds, fresh greens and cool greys. Brushstrokes are deliberate and confident, with smooth, flat planes of colour and subtle texture that emphasise clarity, structure and design.

The result is a playful yet sophisticated still life that merges interior, landscape and abstraction which are hallmarks of Orup’s distinctive mid-century visual language.

This oil on board is presented in a warm gilt wooden frame with an inner border, which beautifully complements the painting’s bold palette. The painting has some light craquelure present to its paint surface, but it is very stable and consistent with the age of the work, and does not detract from the overall visual appeal.
