    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautiful and well-balanced still life that captured our hearts upon first sight.

    Presented atop a table draped with a cloth is a well-decorated pitcher filled with red tulips and pussy willows, surrounded by 7 oranges and a small green bowl.

    Very soft and precise brushstrokes have been used to create a delicate and realistic effect to the work, and there is calm fluency from one subject to the next.

    The artist has wonderfully managed to capture the creases and folds in the table cloth, and the great play of colours and reflective shadowy effects in the oranges and flowers create a sense of three dimensionality in the work.

    There is a strong focus of attention on the objects as its bold colours stand out in contrast to the background painted in beige with light pink undertones.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It comes well-presented in a thick gilt frame that has areas of paint loss.

    Size: 73 x 64 cm (including frame)

  • Sail

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A magnificent work of art presenting a row of houses lined by an ocean front with docked sailboats in sight.

    This coastal scape draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism, abstraction, and fauvism; and as we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.

    Blocks of contrasting bold colours have been use to give rise to the various forms, and the artist has wonderfully managed to capture reflections in the water through the use of short and swift brushstrokes.

    The work comes presented in a wood frame with a linen lining, and is in good vintage condition.

    Size: 69 x 95 cm (including frame)

    A fantastic still life oil painted in the impressionist style. Here the artist has rendered rich and intense colours,  seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, yellow and violet. Also evident is the artist’s use of the impressionist skill of the spontaneous brushstroke, each brush mark visible and distinct. Contrasting colours combined with multi directional strokes convey a sense of light and movement. There is a certain warmth and homeliness to this painting.

    The painting is housed in a robust frame, and is in good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

    Size: 68 x 80 cm (including frame)

    A large and expressive modernist still life painting signed by Swedish artist A Nilsson.

    The work is well executed with short and swift brushstrokes, and painted with great confidence.

    Presenting a tray holding some fruits, glasses and a pitcher, we love the cool blue undertones in the work, and how the artist has highlighted the reflections and shadowy effects of the objects in blue as well, imbuing the work with so much character.

    This painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    It comes with a unique wood frame laid weaving and  a linen lining. Do note that the weaving on the frame has some fraying and losses

  • The Bathers

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressionist scene of 2 female bathers against a watery landscape. The figures have their backs to the viewer, and we are only able to able to catch sight of the side profiles.

    Bathers in art have been a long-standing tradition since the Renaissance, and this artwork in particular is reminiscent of the bathing scenes from Paul Cezanne.

    The forms of the two nudes are bold and well emphasised, as their silhouettes have been outlined by thick black lines .The artist has used quick and short brushstrokes, as well as heavy impasto to create a sense of three dimensionality in this work. The orderly blocks of blue in differing shades in the background helps create the illusion of depth in this painting.

    The painting is surrounded by a fantastic and robust original ash and green frame.

    It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 77 x 62 cm (including frame)

  • The Swans

    Sold

    A wonderful study of 2 white swans grazing in a lush garden, set against a historical building.

    On this fine morning in Spring, a graceful pair of swans have just emerged from the nearby lake, and have come to the lawn to nibble on grass. With no one else in sight, they are roaming freely in the area, with not a worry in the world.

    The artist has selected a beautiful naturalistic and earthy colour palette in this work; and has creatively dabbed a mix of clay, beige and sand colours to render the rough and granular nature of stone on the historical building.

    He has also painted the grass in a similar fashion – using different shades of green and some hints of beige to highlight its dense appearance.

    This mid 20th century painting is an oil on canvas, and is signed on the lower right.

    It is complemented by its gilt frame, and measures 73.5 x 62.5 cm (including frame)

    A very large and very vibrant oil that would definitely make for an eye-catching feature piece in any interior. The artist has explored the use of colour to its full effect, using bold and rhythmic brushstrokes that set your eyes dancing. Strong outlines and saturated colour in oil form wonderful patterns, reminiscent of the fauvist works by artists such as Henri Matisse.

    The subject matter too is thoroughly heart warming – a family of 3 walk to the end of a path, taking in the view of the open sea through a gap in the luscious trees, as the surrounding landscape wraps them in a colourful and playful embrace.

    This original mid century oil painting is by artist Hans Öllgard (1911-1969) and is housed in robust gilt frame. An engraved metal plate carrying the artist’s name and dates is affixed to the frame.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition, with only very minor scuffs to the frame.

    Size: 81 x 102 cm (including frame)

  • By the Ocean

    SOLD

    SOLD

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    A scenic view of cottages on rolling hills, situated by the ocean front. The air is calm and cool, and the ocean, painted in an outstanding bleu de France shade, is beaming with serenity.

    Expressive and vertical brushstrokes in particular, have been used extensively in this work – producing distinct forms, and breathing life into the trees and grass in the foreground.

    This artwork is an oil on canvas, and  is well presented in a wooden frame, with a white mount that further accentuates its beauty.

    Size: 58 x 67 cm (including frame)
