  • Thoughts by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An emotive and visually striking mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil on canvas.

    The painting features an interior setting, where a female figure is seated by a table and beside an open window with a view outside. With her face resting on her hand, she is not facing the viewer (us) and appears to be deep in thought.

    The artist has used a very rich and earthy colour palette, as well as bold expressive brushstrokes. The combination of these colours and strokes conveys a sense of emotional intensity, and may suggest a deep emotional experience or a connection to the artist’s inner world.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited gilt frame.  There is scattered craquelure throughout the painting, as well as some areas of paint loss to the upper edge and lower left as shown, and also two horizontal crease lines as shown. The frame has areas of minor wear.

  • Grace

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intriguing and very confidently executed large oil on canvas, painted in 1987 by female Swedish artist Marianne Kanter, who monogram can be seen in the top left corner.

    On first glance the painting seems almost voyeuristic – we see the backs of two men staring at the undressed female figure. As we take the time to study the painting, in particular the female figure, we begin to notice her expression – she stares directly at us with an enigmatic gaze, completely aware of her position in the room and the attention she holds, both from us as well as the male figures we see. Her confidence is unmissable. Notably, the painting is by a female artist (Marianne Kanter). Could it be that this painting was a comment on the ‘male gaze’, a term coined a few years before in the 70s? We might never know the answer for sure, but it certainly makes the painting a beguiling and intriguing one.

    This large oil on canvas is presented in a very complementary slim frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Nude Study

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large, richly coloured mid century nude study oil, painted in 1949.  There is a palpable sense of ‘ease’ to the nude figure, who sits relaxed in her chair – her face and body are relaxed, with no ounce of stiffness present. Her surroundings too are homely and warm – a flower pot sits by the window with the curtain drawn open, letting the natural light in.

    The artist has painted skilfully and confidently, using a rich, saturated colour palette to paint this expressive study, and has included areas of impasto (where the painted thickly such that it stands proud from the surface)  to add texture and depth.

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    A group of cottages with walnut brown roofs line the landscape, set amidst a rural landscape in rich and deep autumnal colours.

    A range of expressionist brushstrokes in varying tones of orange, brown and black create a wonderful sense of depth and texture, and finer detailing of spots of red and yellow give the painting an intricate quality, encourage our eyes to focus our attention on the painting and study the details of what is before us.

  • Outdoor Dining

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist figurative composition dated 1981, and executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    The composition presents a group of 5 figures seated and standing around a table, and dining together in the sunny outdoors.

    Executed in a modernist style and using a limited colour palette comprising shades of yellow, green, purple, and white, the artist has skilfully simplified the composition down to blocks of contrasting colours, and has intentionally left out realisitc detailing.

    The colour palette employed by the artist is characterised by rich and muted colours and together with the use of short expressive brushstrokes, the painting overflows with a soothing yet uplifting quality.

    The painting’s large size is impactful, and it would be a perfect fit for a dining setting.

  • Still Life with Refraction

    Sold

    This still life composition depicts an interior setting where a brown table laid with a white table cloth is set against a blue and green background. An array of objects including a bowl, an orange, a glass and a bottle are arranged across the table.

    Through the use of expressive brushstrokes, the artist displays his painterly skills – leveraging qualities of the shading technique as well as creating an effective colour gradient transition to demonstrate depth to the painting. He has also masterfully captured the impact of refraction against glass objects, as we can see part of the pot and orange being enlarged against the glass bottle, as well as part of the green surface being enlarged against the glass ball.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame. There is an area of very minor surface paint loss to the centre of composition (as seen in close ups), but this is not obvious due to the style of the piece. Otherwise, both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is centered around a young male figure that punctuates the middle of the painting. He is depicted in an interior setting, seated beside a red chair, and we can discern some books on the platform beside him.

    The facial features of the figure have been intentionally left out. The artist has taken a bold approach to its representational style, reducing the scene down to blocks of contrasting muted colours to demonstrate depth and form to the painting.

    The use of muted colours as well as short expressive brushstrokes bring a soothing energy to the artwork, enlivening the scene and evoking a sense of playfulness and curiousity.

  • Interior Still Life

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts an interior setting where a table laid with objects takes center stage and serves as a focal point. A plate with a fruit sits on its left, and on its right, a bottle and some fruits lay on a white tablecloth strewn across the table. Behind the table, we can also spot a chair, and also what appears to be a window or a painting on the right.

    The painting is a masterful display of rich colours, and showcases the artist’s skill in capturing the beauty of everyday objects.

    A combination of lightly-textured expressive brushstrokes as well as a range of contrasting hues have been used to paint the objects, highlighting depth and their three-dimensional qualities whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas. The artist has also skilfully managed to capture the shadows of the objects, and we can infer that a light has been on.

  • Afterglow

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    Broad, textured and gestural brushstrokes fill the bottom half the painting, creating a rich quality in the painting and capturing our initial attention. 3 houses punctuate the centre of the composition, and to the right an orangey-yellow area adds a fiery quality to the piece, balancing out the composition and drawing our eyes upwards to the top half of the painting.  As we shift our focus, the brushstrokes too take on a different quality. Smoother and more delicate brushstrokes with a lighter texture fill the blue sky.

    There is a light and diaphanous quality to this very well executed painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a light wooden frame with white detail. There are some minor marks to the frame, otherwise both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • It Takes a Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto canvas by the established female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    In this vivid and richly coloured composition, we see a group of figures gathered together, with one figure holding a baby. Beneath them are baskets on the floor. The artist’s free and imaginative use of colour is evident, beautifully capturing the sense that the artists are standing out in the hot sun in colourful dress.  The background is a grid like composition painted in orange, red and sandy brown tones, evoking a sense of arid plains heated under the sun. There is a palpable sense of familiarity between the figures, as they gather together in casual conversation. Using a combination of bold black outlines and planes of juxtaposing colours, the artist has achieved great depth and complexity to the composition, while maintaining a sense of playfulness and freedom within her palette.

    The painting is beautifully housed in a lightly painted wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
