Hillside Houses
$1,990.00
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A mid-century modernist painting presents a vibrant yet soothing interpretation of houses by a hillside, depicted in a bold, semi-abstract style, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition features clusters of houses with angular rooftops nestled among lush greenery, painted in deep blues, rich reds, and warm earth tones. The background sky is rendered in a muted, soft grey, allowing the vivid hues of the houses to stand out.

The artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes, giving the painting a dynamic, textured quality. The foliage appears sculpted through impasto techniques, while the simplified geometric forms of the buildings lend a sense of structure amidst the organic movement of the landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small area of paint loss but is in good condition overall.

Echoes of the Street
$1,142.00
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.

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.

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.

Afternoon Lesson
$1,161.00
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
$915.00
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
$915.00
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.

By the Waterbank
$934.00
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
$1,028.00
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.

Size: 64 x 79.5 cm (including frame)

A Moment to Herself
$934.00
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
$934.00
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.

Sunset by the Pines
$859.00
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.

The Rail Yards at Dusk
$1,066.00
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.

At the Counter
$1,981.00
Available

Free UK shipping only.

A large and compelling 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 scene captures three stylised figures possibly engaged in an exchange at the checkout – a familiar ritual rendered with striking simplicity and emotional weight.

The central figure, dressed in black, appears to be a shopper in mid-transaction, while the figure in pale blue behind the counter suggests a cashier. A third, more ambiguously defined figure stands nearby, perhaps another customer or a child. The figures are abstracted, skilfully reduced to essential shapes.

Thick impasto brushstrokes and rich textural layering give the work a tactile presence. The palette is earthy and architectural – orange, muted greens, brick reds, and cool greys – punctuated by flashes of white, lemon yellow, and cobalt blue, adding moments of vibrancy to the otherwise grounded tones.

The composition is rhythmic and architectural, with geometric planes converging to form an abstracted treatment of space and perspective. The flattened forms and overlapping fields of colour speak to the artist’s modernist sensibility — elevating the ordinary to the iconic.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Enclosure
$1,679.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large, rich and vivid abstract composition, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

This vivid abstract composition is defined by bold colour fields and energetic gesture, evoking the sensation of boundary, structure, and containment within nature or memory.

It is dominated by a large central mass of deep red, bordered by a sharp vertical white line on the left and a curved pale blue line sweeping across the middle. To the right, a vibrant orange block contrasts with cooler greens and earth tones in the lower and left portions. The composition is off-center and dynamic, with the eye pulled toward the intersection of curves and edges.

The brushstrokes are expressive and textural, with areas of scraped paint, blending, and layering giving a sense of physical depth.

The painting could allude to land boundaries, personal space, or emotional states—open to interpretation but rich in atmosphere. There’s a sense of tactile exploration and spatial ambiguity, making the piece both visceral and contemplative.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Zennor
$1,679.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and very atmospheric landscape painting, painted onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

This semi-abstract landscape powerfully captures the wild, changeable atmosphere of the Cornish coast, likely inspired by the moody environment near the village of Zennor in southwest England.

The sky dominates the composition with a bold expanse of turquoise blue, suggesting a clearing or break in weather. A large, dark grey cloud mass occupies the centre, rendered with sweeping, smudged strokes that create a sense of motion and tension. Deeper greens, browns, and black at the bottom evoke moorland or rugged earth, painted with energetic brushwork and scraped textures.

The painting exudes a dramatic, elemental energy, evoking the feeling of standing exposed to the sky on coastal high ground, just before or after a storm. It feels both expansive and intimate, caught between serenity and threat—hallmarks of Cornwall’s raw natural beauty.

This painting is housed in a complementary white frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Seaside Stroll
$840.00

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and very impactful mid-century figurative painting that captures a serene moment by the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976.

The composition features two figures set against a vast, tranquil backdrop of sky and ocean. The central figure, dressed in a flowing white garment, carries a patterned bag, exuding a sense of calm and contemplation. A smaller figure, rendered in lighter hues, walks nearby, emphasising a sense of companionship or familial connection.

The painting’s style is distinctly modernist, characterised by minimalistic forms and a textured, almost naïve approach to rendering figures. The use of a muted, pastel colour palette – predominantly soft blues, whites, and sandy beiges – enhances the ethereal quality of the piece.

The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible texture and layering, imparting a sense of movement to the otherwise quiet scene.

This oil on canvas is creatively housed in a white painted rustic wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some age wear to backing frame panel but this is in keeping with its style.

Rural Abstraction
$991.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and captivating mid-century landscape painting that presents a dynamic interplay between abstraction and representation, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting presents a rural landscape dominated by an angular, white structure – likely a house or barn – set against rugged terrain. The composition balances organic and geometric forms, emphasising the contrast between man-made and natural elements.

The piece embodies elements of abstract expressionism, blending gestural and textured brushstrokes with semi-representational forms. The fragmented, layered approach to the structure hints at collage techniques, while the landscape itself is rendered through broad, sweeping gestures.

Earthy tones dominate the palette, with yellows, browns, and deep greens forming the background and landscape. The structure itself is highlighted with whites and light greys, accented by touches of muted blue.

The artist has used expressive, textured brushwork, layering thick and thin applications of paint. Loose, bold strokes define the landscape, while the structure features more deliberate, angular marks, emphasising the contrast between organic scenery and constructed form. The brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and depth, giving the impression of a weathered, windswept setting.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to bottom left frame corner, but it is in good condition otherwise.

Watermelon & Pot
$934.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A wonderfully textured mid-century still life composition that presents a vibrant arrangement of everyday objects rendered with bold character, painted in oil onto board and dated 1973.

At the heart of the composition is a sliced watermelon, surrounded by ripe green pears, a rustic earthenware jug, and a warm-toned plate. These elements are laid out on a richly textured white cloth, draped dramatically to heighten the sense of depth and realism.

fusing realism with expressive, impasto brushwork, there is an emphasis on form and materiality rather than fine detail. The brushstrokes are thick and confident, creating dynamic surface movement and a palpable sense of texture.

The artist has used a warm and earthy colour scheme, and the stark contrast between the dark background and the light cloth enhances the visual impact of the fruit and vessels.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting has some scattered craquelure present but paint layer is very stable overall. There is also some paint loss around the signature area at the bottom left. The frame has some losses to its outer edges, but this is not noticeable from the front.

Modernist in its ethos, the composition has been rendered in a flat, geometric style. The artist has skilfully deconstructed and simplified the scene into blocks of contrasting colours using expressive yet flat brushstrokes through horizontal layering that demonstrates depth to the painting. A muted yet harmonious palette of dusty greens, soft greys, beige, and pale blue have been used, imbuing with work with a soothing quality.

Apple & Dancing Forms
$1,227.00
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 a card mount and a stained black wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex.

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: 59 x 78 cm (including frame)

A large mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This expressive gouache painting features a collection of abstract, stylized human figures, arranged vertically against a bold turquoise background. The figures are outlined with heavy black lines, giving them a graphic, almost childlike quality. Each character has a distinct presence but is rendered with simplified forms and exaggerated facial features.

The gouache medium allows for bold, opaque colour application, giving the painting a vibrant, matte finish. Visible brushstrokes and unrefined edges enhance the raw, expressive energy.

Overall, this piece feels dynamic and full of personality, with a playful yet intense aesthetic that invites viewers to interpret the relationships and emotions of the figures.

The painting is presented within a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Much of Enos’ work on paper from the 1950s to 1970s uses gouache, often in tandem with other media. Gouache allowed his joy and passion for colour to shine. Enos’ work straddled the worlds of figurative and abstracted art as he dipped into both with equal enthusiasm.

Abstracted Nature
$1,227.00
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.

Figure in Dark Landscape
$1,227.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and very striking mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This vibrant gouache painting showcases an abstract, expressive portrait of a figure, executed with energetic, gestural lines and a vivid colour palette.

Dominated by electric blues, purples, reds, greens, and black, with accents of yellow, pink, and white. The intense use of colour creates a dynamic, almost chaotic atmosphere. The central figure is constructed with a loose, overlapping web of continuous, scribbled lines. The facial features—particularly the eyes—are more defined yet still fragmented, conveying a sense of complexity and introspection.

The painting exudes intensity and vulnerability, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional landscape behind the fragmented human figure.

The painting is presented within in a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting has very small losses to upper corners of paper as seen in the photos.

Much of Enos’ work on paper from the 1950s to 1970s uses gouache, often in tandem with other media. Gouache allowed his joy and passion for colour to shine. Enos’ work straddled the worlds of figurative and abstracted art as he dipped into both with equal enthusiasm.

Mrs Jackson
$1,227.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and vibrant mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lvoatt (1937-2018).

This gouache painting presents an abstract, expressionist portrait of a human face. The figure is stylised, with exaggerated features and bold, energetic lines that convey a sense of intensity and emotion.

Dominated by deep shades of red, purple, black, and blue, with accents of vibrant yellow and cyan. These contrasting colours create a strong visual tension. Colourful lines, particularly a yellow loop and bold blue stroke, cut across the face and neck, adding dynamic movement and further abstracting the form.

Overall, the painting feels charged with emotional intensity, inviting viewers to interpret the subject’s inner world through its bold, non-traditional portrayal.

The painting is presented within in a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Geometric Gathering
$1,189.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist semi-abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

The composition captures a dynamic and abstracted scene of three figures engaged in daily activities. It suggests a communal or domestic setting, possibly depicting women preparing food or engaged in household chores.

Rendered in a bold, textured technique, the painting showcases an earthy, muted palette dominated by yellows, deep blues, browns, and warm neutrals. The brushstrokes are heavily applied, creating a layered, almost sculptural surface that enhances the raw energy of the composition.

$1,604.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century abstract composition characterised by geometric shapes and dynamic forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

Although abstract in nature, the painting could suggest an architectural theme, as indicated by the overlapping arches, blocks, and angular lines that may resemble bridges, rooftops, and structures. Nevertheless, the painting invites viewers to interpret its abstract qualities through the interaction of colour and form.

The colour palette is warm and muted, dominated by shades of terracotta, salmon pink, red, and soft white, punctuated by darker accents in navy blue and deep brown. These hues create a harmonious yet vibrant contrast, evoking a sense of movement and depth.

The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, with visible texture and layering. The artist has applied paint in a manner that feels spontaneous but deliberate, emphasising the dynamic interplay between shape and colour.

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

Pitcher and Grapes
$1,010.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

The painting features a jug, a bunch of grapes, and abstract forms resembling fruits, all set on a table adorned with a scalloped edge cloth. The background showcases shutters and window elements, suggesting an interior space with hints of the outside world, adding depth to the scene.

Modernist in its ethos, the artist has skilfully deconstructed the scene into bold geometric shapes and angular lines, dividing the space into distinct yet harmonious sections and making the composition well-balanced.

A restrained palette of predominantly yellows and greens in varying tones, complemented by accents of white have been used, enhancing the artwork’s serene yet vibrant atmosphere.

This gouache on paper is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity).
