Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

In this composition, four onions sit amidst a copper lid and vessel. The colour palette is restrained, focused mainly on purple, green, and orangey brown. Expressionist brushstrokes fill the background, creating a wonderful light and shadow effect, while echoing the colours of the objects in the foreground. The artist has very successfully captured the colour variation of the skin of the onions as well as the reflective surface of the copper objects.

This large painting would look brilliant in a kitchen or dining setting. It is presented in a simple wood frame that complements it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Montage

Sold

SOLD

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

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

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

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

Brown & Black
$1,406.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

A group of mostly unidentifiable objects in a very restrained palette sit against a grey background. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the pops of orange and pink, 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 original oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

Size: 65.6 x 74.5 cm (including frame)

A wonderful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Two figures with baskets on their heads are depicted through the use of broad and distinct brushstrokes.

The vertical orientation of this painting makes it ideal for narrow spaces, and its distinctive modernist style of painting and frame will certainly make it a statement piece.

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.

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

The Pair
$906.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and very unique mid century modernist oil composition of two figures, painted onto canvas by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The artist has flattened the surface, reducing the figures down into planes of pastel colour, that fit together like a puzzle. The palette is restrained, using a range of light blues, greys and browns. To add depth to the picture, the painting is filled with these vertical patterns, that are almost like seams that open up to reveal layers of colour underneath.

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

Nude on Couch (Very Large)
$1,604.00
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A quirky and heavily textured mid-century figurative composition, painted on oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

The composition offers a captivating glimpse into an interior setting where a nude figure reclines upon a couch, her posture relaxed with one knee raised. The subject’s gaze turns away, caught unaware.

The couch where the figure lays captures our attention. Adorned with a striking floral print motif in shades of green and pink, it adds a dynamic burst of colour against the neutral backdrop.

Beneath the figure, the floor unfolds in a black and white chequered board pattern. An apple with a single bite taken from it rests on the floor, introducing a subtle narrative element.

Overall, it is a very thoughtful and interesting composition, with meticulous attention to detail as well as refined and heavily textured brushstrokes.

This painting comes unframed, and is an oil that has been painted onto canvas which has been laid down to board, making the painting quite heavy. There is craquelure present to the upper left as shown due to thickness of paint.

Boats in Pastel
$1,010.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and atmospheric mid 20th century modernist pastel and gouache composition, depicting boats docked at a harbour.

Using a restrained colour palette comprising shades of black, blue and yellow, the mellow and muted tones create an air of nostalgia in this piece.

Loose brushstrokes though executed in a seemingly swift and unrestrained manner, are thoughtful and precise – wonderfully capturing the transient conditions of light and water.

This pastel and gouache composition is housed beautifully in a wide-profiled light gilt (champagne) and silver frame. It is also glazed (there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the painting). The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of scuffing commensurate with its age. Please note that due to the glass there are areas of reflection in the photographs.

Portrait in Sepia
$981.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.

With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture. Behind the figure appear several more heads, so we get a sense that she is perhaps standing amongst a crowd, but the artist has chosen her specifically as the protagonist of the painting.

This oil on board is housed in original mid century gilt frame with linen border. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

A large, bold and striking figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976, and comes unframed.

The composition captures a moment of communal life as it presents a gathering of a tribe. Some members are seated in the foreground, surrounded by an abundance of fruit, fish, and drinks, while others stand behind them, holding baskets and jugs.

The artist has employed a restrained yet striking palette of orange, red, white, and black. The deep black of the figures contrasts beautifully against the fiery hues, creating a dynamic and visually arresting composition.

The clothing of the figures is adorned with patterns, including stripes, adding to the richness and depth of the piece. The artist’s technique of using dark outlines to highlight the forms enhances the clarity and definition of each individual and object.

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.

Still Life with Vegetables
$859.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

The artwork depicts a tabletop setting featuring an assortment of vegetables including carrots, radish, tomatoes, and a cabbage.

Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

Expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes fill the canvas and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skilfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.

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

Cradle
$1,726.00
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.

Branches in a Blue Vase

Sold

SOLD

A striking and expressive mid-century still life, 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.

The painting depicts a cluster of slender and elegant branches with fresh green leaves arranged in a patterned blue vase, placed against a softly muted background. The composition is both simple and dynamic: balanced by a small yellow form in the lower right, perhaps a lemon, which introduces a bold contrast of colour and geometry.

Rendered in thick, confident brushstrokes, the artist’s impasto technique gives the surface a rich texture, while the interplay between earthy browns, cool blues, and mossy greens evokes an organic harmony. The background, layered in sage, light yellow and beige tones, creates a sense of depth without overt detail, allowing the arrangement to stand as a sculptural focal point.

The overall style reflects the sensibilities of mid-century modernism: abstracted yet rooted in observation – where everyday objects are distilled to their essence through shape, tone, and texture.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones and an inner cream border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Houses by the Rolling Hills

Sold

SOLD

A charming and picturesque mid-century landscape that captures a quiet cluster of houses nestled within rolling green fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

The composition centres around a small hamlet, its simple geometric forms distilled into blocks of colour: red and blue rooftops, creamy white façades, and deep green foliage. A single tree rises from the village centre, its broad, dark crown creating a natural focal point amid the surrounding patchwork of shapes.

Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces simplification and abstraction, reducing the landscape into harmonious, interlocking planes. The artist’s palette is earthy yet vivid: rich brick reds, moss greens, browns, and blues – all balanced by softer, muted tones in the distant hills. This juxtaposition of saturated and subdued colour adds depth and a rhythmic visual cadence.

Brushstrokes are confident and textural, with layered applications of paint that create subtle variations across the surface. Edges are softly defined, allowing forms to merge slightly into one another, giving the work its characteristic mid-century warmth and painterly charm. The result is a beautifully composed village scene that feels at once grounded and gently abstracted.

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

Room with Blue Window

Sold

SOLD

A captivating mid-century interior composition that draws the viewer into a sunlit room where everyday objects take on a contemplative stillness, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Tore Nyberg (1911-1993), whose has been represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, and the Värmland Museum in Karlstad, to name a few.

Two simple wooden chairs sit at ease, one angled toward the window, the other slightly withdrawn, suggesting the subtle presence of human life just beyond the frame. Through the central window, a softened exterior unfolds: pale facades and rooftops rendered in light tones.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting balances structure and looseness with remarkable sensitivity. The composition is anchored by strong verticals ( the doorframe, window panes, and chair backs) yet softened by expressive, painterly handling. There is a quiet geometry at play, but it never feels rigid. Instead, it breathes with a lived-in warmth.

The colour palette is both fresh and harmonious, dominated by cool blues and turquoise tones that frame the window and radiate throughout the room. These are beautifully offset by warm browns, and dusty greens, creating a gentle dialogue between interior warmth and exterior light. Subtle shifts in tone , particularly in the walls and floor, add depth without overwhelming the scene.

Brushstrokes are confident and visible, applied with a relaxed, almost intuitive hand. Edges are loosely defined, allowing forms to blur slightly into one another, enhancing the sense of atmosphere. The paint surface carries a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and give the composition a quiet vibrancy.

Overall, this is a deeply atmospheric work: an intimate study of space, light, and stillness, where beauty is found in the ordinary.

This oil on board is presented in a beautifully characterful, rustic wooden frame that complements the warmth and intimacy of the interior scene. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of paint loss but this reveals the wood underneath and adds to its vintage charm.

Fragments of a Day

Sold

SOLD

A striking modernist work that presents a scene fragmented into angular planes and interlocking blocks of colour, evoking figures and structures emerging within an imagined landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

Though abstracted, one can sense the suggestion of human presence and architectural forms – perhaps a house, a figure, and surrounding terrain reduced to their essential geometric components.

Rendered in a modernist style, the composition is built from flat, faceted shapes that tessellate across the canvas, creating a rhythmic mosaic. The artist has employed a harmonious yet lively palette of muted peach, terracotta, sage green, browns, dusty pink, teal, and pale blues. These tones shift softly across the surface, creating subtle contrasts and spatial tension without harsh division.

The brushstrokes are controlled yet visible, giving texture to each block of colour while maintaining an overall crispness in form. Edges are softly defined, hinting at the hand of the painter beneath the structure of the geometry. The result is a composition that feels both architectural and lyrical – an exploration of form and colour that balances abstraction with a whisper of narrative.

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

Intersecting Planes

Sold

SOLD

A large and very striking mid-century geometric abstract composition, painted in oil in 1955 by the established Swedish artist Bror Ingemar Fröberg (1921-1999), whose artworks have been represented in the Moderna Museum in Stockholm and the Sörmland Museum.

The painting is built from a dynamic network of interlocking shapes and angled planes. Triangles, diamonds, and irregular quadrilaterals converge and diverge across the canvas, creating a sense of movement that feels architectural. Though non-representational, the arrangement evokes rhythm, structure, and balance.

Executed in a geometric abstract style, the work relies on strong linear boundaries and clearly defined colour fields. The composition feels meticulously plotted, yet there is a softness to some of the edges that lends a human, hand-painted warmth. The overlapping forms create layers of depth and subtle spatial tension, typical of mid-century abstraction.

The colour palette is earthy and muted, and these grounded tones harmonise beautifully together. The balance of darker masses against lighter areas adds contrast and energy.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with solid blocks of colour applied in smooth, even strokes. Slight variations in texture and faint visible brush trails keep the surface engaging

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some light surface marks but overall, the surface still presents well, and these characteristics do not detract from the artwork’s visual impact.

Size: 64 x 91.5 cm (including frame)

The Shifting Sky

Sold

SOLD

A large and striking mid-century modernist abstract landscape composed in rich, geometric swathes of colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

This lively painting has abstracted a landscape scene into bold, horizontal blocks that suggest cultivated fields and farmhouses nestled among trees. The land is rendered in earthy greens, dusty pinks and mauves, transitioning toward cooler blues and lavenders in the sky.

The brushstrokes are broad, confident, and thickly applied. The sky dominates the upper half with layered streaks of cloud in muted purples, creams, and blues, evoking a moody, almost cinematic atmosphere. The artist’s minimalist approach to detail creates a sense of depth and serenity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the rhythm and quiet beauty of the countryside.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited ridged frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some surface wear to inner silver border (as shown), as well as a small loss to its upper left corner (as shown).

The Meeting

Sold

SOLD

A large and evocative mid-century figurative composition that depicts a group of seated figures gathered around a long white table, executed in oil onto canvas.

The figures’ forms have been rendered in simplified, almost sculptural blocks of colour. The figures, distinguished by subtle variations in hair colour, posture, and attire are shown in quiet communion, while a standing figure at the head of the table adds a sense of hierarchy or occasion.

The artist has adopted a distinctly modernist approach: the scene is pared back to its essential geometry, the narrative implied rather than explicit. The palette is warm yet restrained, with browns, blacks, and muted greens dominating against a rich golden background that imbues the work with both warmth and gravitas. The surface bears visible, expressive brushstrokes, creating a tactile sense of movement and texture.

The overall effect is one of quiet introspection: a timeless study of human gathering, presence, and form.

This oil on canvases is housed in very well suited wood and gilt frame.

Waiting at the Door

Sold

SOLD

A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet residential moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

A composition centres on a modest house set behind a picket fence, with a gently curving road leading the eye into the distance. A solitary figure stands in the doorway, rendered with deliberate ambiguity, lending the scene a subtle narrative tension: part welcome, part pause.

The composition is deceptively simple yet carefully balanced, with strong geometric forms anchoring the house while softer, organic shapes emerge in the surrounding greenery. In the background, distant buildings dissolve into muted silhouettes, reinforcing a sense of calm isolation

The palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by soft greens, light blues, pale sage, and warm earthy browns. Hints of muted red at the doorway provide a quiet focal point, adding warmth and human presence without overpowering the composition.

Brushstrokes are loose and expressive. Paint is applied with confidence – broad, visible strokes define architectural planes, while lighter, more rhythmic marks suggest foliage and fencing. The surface retains a tactile quality, allowing the hand of the artist to remain present throughout.

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

Size: 50 x 74.5 cm (including frame)

At the Farm

Sold

SOLD

An excellent mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

This expressionist piece features broad, gestural sweeping brushstrokes in warm and rich colours. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and giving this composition its painterly effect. The artist has captured the charm of the old farm house – its rust coloured palette and expressionist brushstrokes lend a rustic effect to the painting. This is enhanced by the distressed frame which adds to its lovely vintage charm.

This oil on board is housed in an outstanding distressed frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 47 x 76 cm (including frame)
