Geometric City

Sold

SOLD

An outstanding mid-century geometric abstract cityscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts a cityscape reimagined through a dynamic array of geometric shapes and blocks that intersect one another. The city has been skilfully deconstructed into shapes with clean lines and sharp angles, reminiscent of architectural forms but stripped to their essence.

The composition features a vibrant palette of rich and striking colours—jet black, fiery orange, bold red, deep blue, and sunny yellow. These hues contrast sharply, creating a sense of energy as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

The smooth brushstrokes add a polished finish to the piece, enhancing the sharpness and clarity of each geometric form.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited dark grey frame with an inner silver window. The painting has some scattered areas of craquelure as well as small areas of paint loss as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is stable overall.

Impression of a Town

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and dynamic mid-century modernist painting that captures a vibrant urban townscape street scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The scene unfolds from an elevated perspective, looking down a narrow street flanked by terracotta rooftops, brown and sand coloured façades, and other architectural forms. A cluster of rooftops and chimneys gives way to a distant dome, while a tall crane looms subtly in the background.

Painted with vigorous, assured brushstrokes, the work blends figuration with abstraction, favouring impression over precision. The artist employs a warm, earthy palette – orange, mustard, slate, and burgundy – offset by cooler greys and whites that evoke a moody, overcast sky. Areas of thick, dry brushwork and layered paint convey the texture of old walls and cobbled ground, while vertical lines and angular forms lead the eye deep into the composition.

Lively yet grounded, this piece wonderfully captures the atmosphere and rhythm of everyday life in a city as it quietly unfolds.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Size: 73.5 x 78.5 cm (including frame)

Nocturne City Lights

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A striking mid-century cityscape that captures the shimmering energy of an urban night scene, translated into a rich tapestry of colour and geometric abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is structured with bold, interlocking blocks and angular shapes, suggesting the rhythm of buildings, windows, bridges, and reflections on water. A procession of glowing yellow-lit windows runs across the centre, evoking a row of houses or perhaps a train, cutting a luminous path through the darkness. Above, sharp angular rooftops and scaffolding-like forms rise into a deep indigo and violet sky, punctuated by hints of streetlamps and architectural details.

The artist’s palette is rich and vibrant, dominated by jewel tones of cobalt blue, violet, crimson, and emerald green, balanced with the warmth of orange, red, and brown. The glowing yellow windows add a brilliant contrast, animating the scene with a sense of movement and vitality.

The brushwork is expressive and textured, with bold, layered strokes that give depth and tactile richness to the surface. Each shape feels carefully constructed, yet retains the energy of the hand that painted it, merging structure with spontaneity.

This work is a celebration of the modern city at night – a mosaic of light, shadow, and human presence – rendered through the lens of mid-century abstraction.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame that has a unique beaded detailing. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Sailboats in Still Waters

Sold

SOLD.

A mid-century seascape that captures a serene harbour scene with a row of sailboats gently anchored, their tall masts mirrored in the calm water below, executed in oil onto board.

The artist has used a restrained palette of soft blues, sandy beiges, and muted whites, evoking the hazy atmosphere of a sunlit coastal morning. The forms are simplified and abstracted, emphasising shape and tonal harmony over fine detail.

Broad, confident brushstrokes define the sails and their reflections, while areas of the canvas are left with a loose, almost sketch-like quality, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood. The surface shows a subtle layering of paint, where hints of underpainting peek through, adding depth and texture.

This work balances elegance and abstraction, offering both a sense of place and a timeless modernist aesthetic.

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

The Shape of Thought (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Delivery Only.

A large and outstanding 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 painting presents a bold and dynamic interpretation of the human form, fragmented into intersecting shapes and saturated blocks of colour. At the centre, a green torso-like shape anchors the composition, surrounded by gestural planes of midnight blue, ivory white, forest green, sky grey, and cerulean. Hints of yellow and red punctuate the palette with energy, while the heavy use of impasto and palette knife work brings a sense of raw physicality to the surface.

Though abstract, the overlapping forms and contours evoke the impression of a seated or contemplative figure, abstracted almost to the point of pure form. The figure emerges from and dissolves into the background, suggesting emotional introspection or transformation. The painter’s brushwork is assertive yet nuanced, blending thickly applied oil with moments of scraped texture and layered opacity.

In both its materiality and expressive ambiguity, the painting speaks to the search for identity through abstraction, emotion, and gesture.

Close to a metre in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited hessian lined frame with an inner silver border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Size: 99 x 78 cm (including frame)

Veils of Grey

Sold

SOLD

A large mid-century abstract painting that explores an interplay of muted tones and layered forms, creating a composition that feels both architectural and atmospheric, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is non-representational, allowing the viewer to interpret shifting planes and subtle depths that suggest shadowed interiors or blurred landscapes without resolving into a fixed image.

Rendered in a restrained palette of whites, greys, silvers, and soft taupe, with occasional accents of darker brown and hints of blue, the work captures a cool, contemplative mood.

The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate – some areas built up with dense, textured applications, while others are feathered, thinned, or softly blended to create a sense of translucency and motion. The overall effect is one of quiet dynamism, as if forms are emerging and dissolving within a luminous fog.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

By the Arches

Sold

SOLD

A striking and very well executed mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board by by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

It depicts a stylized North African architectural scene, characterized by a row of arched windows and whitewashed buildings with flat roofs. The structure is rendered with bold, simplified shapes and thick black outlines, giving it a graphic, modernist quality.

The palette is warm and muted, dominated by creamy whites, ochres, deep blues, and burnt siennas, evoking a desert or sunlit townscape. The composition is horizontally oriented, emphasizing the linearity of the architecture and the contrast between the built environment and the figures.

The painting has a modernist, almost expressionistic style, with an emphasis on shape, shadow, and form over fine detail. The mood is contemplative and quiet, possibly evoking the heat and stillness of a midday scene. The use of flat perspective and colour blocking contributes to a sense of abstraction, while still grounding the image in recognizable, real-world elements.

The painting is well presented in a gilt frame which suits it impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Sea Flowers

Sold

SOLD

A playful and organic one-off original monoprint presented in a sapele frame, by British artist Olivia Bouzyk.

Unlike most printmaking, where artists create an edition of identical prints, a monoprint produces just one final piece. Olivia works on a plate — inking, painting, and layering textures — and then transfers the image onto paper. But because of the process, it can never be repeated in the same way again.

This artwork is created from two layers of ink on purple card. There is a slight texture to the dark blue, as some of the purple background can be seen underneath. The yellow flowers are slightly translucent but with thicker, textured ink. The flowers are made from a paper stencil which was of a drawing from the Essex coastline.

Each work holds the spontaneity of the moment it was made — the way the ink spread, the pressure of the press, the marks left behind. No two are ever alike. When you own one of Olivia’s prints, you’re holding the only version that exists.

Olivia works with contrasts in line, colour and form and a sense of harmony is achieved by balancing this series of juxtapositions.

This artwork, as with the others, has no intended direction, so it can be hung to suit the viewer’s space/inclinations. The fixtures on the back of all the prints are on each side so that they can be hung in any direction, and the signature also has no intended direction.

It is mounted and housed in a high quality sapele wood frame with anti reflective UV glass. Both frame and artwork are in excellent condition.

Size: 61.5 x 86 cm (including frame)

Stairwell Passage

Sold

SOLD

An abstract mid-century painting that presents a loosely structured cityscape, likely depicting an alleyway or stairwell framed by urban architecture, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is suggested rather than precisely defined, with forms of stairs, walls, and a slender lamppost-like shape emerging through layered brushstrokes. The scene gives an impression of movement and transience, as if glimpsed quickly while passing through.

Executed in an abstract expressionist manner, the work balances between representation and abstraction. While there are hints of architectural elements, the focus is on atmosphere and painterly effect rather than literal detail. The composition is dynamic, with angled lines creating depth and perspective that draw the eye inward.

The brushwork is energetic and varied – broad, gestural sweeps contrast with more angular, deliberate marks to suggest structure. The layering of muted shades create texture and depth, with areas of raw canvas and loosely applied paint adding to the painting’s immediacy. The strokes appear spontaneous yet controlled, giving the composition a sense of rhythm and vitality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary floater gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some paint marks at its left edge.

Coastal Road

Sold

SOLD

A large mid-century modernist landscape painting that captures a serene coastal scene where a quiet road runs parallel to a shoreline, executed in oil onto board.

The composition divides naturally into two sections: the vibrant blue of the sea on the left and the muted green of the grassy roadside on the right. In the foreground, a dry and sparse landscape is present, and a few scattered wooden planks rest on the ground. The distant horizon line reveals a subtle strip of land or an island against the vast expanse of sky.

The artist has used a distinctly modernist approach, characterised by loose, gestural brushstrokes that emphasise texture and spontaneity. The composition has a balanced yet asymmetrical feel. The painting’s rough and textured brushwork brings a sense of immediacy and movement, as if capturing a fleeting moment.

The palette is primarily composed of cool and earthy tones. The expressive brushstrokes wonderfully capture the windswept coastal atmosphere.

This large oil on board is housed in a very well-suited linen lined frame with an inner gilt and cream border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Industrial Abstraction

Sold

SOLD.

A brilliantly composed mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1957.

This painting is an abstract composition with a cubist influence, constructed from overlapping geometric shapes in a horizontal layout.

The artist has used a palette of muted earth tones—including shades of blue, olive green, mustard yellow, grey, brown, and black—with occasional pops of more vibrant hues like cobalt blue and ochre.

The forms resemble architectural or industrial elements—possibly buildings, machinery, or a cityscape—but remain non-representational. Thick, impasto brushstrokes give the surface a textured, tactile quality. The shapes interlock and layer, creating depth and rhythm across the canvas. Angled lines and blocks suggest both movement and structure, while negative space in pale grey balances the denser elements.

The rigid composition and strong use of form create a sense of architectural solidity, while still maintaining an expressive feel through painterly texture. The balance of order and spontaneity suggests an interest in form, design, and underlying harmony.

The painting is housed in a frame with a linen lined border. There is a small area of paint loss as shown in close up but the paint layer is stable overall. The painting and frame in good condition overall.

Topography in Green

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century abstract composition painted in oil 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.

This abstract composition evokes a coastal or industrial landscape through a series of bold geometric forms and a restrained, earthen palette. The composition is anchored by a solid horizontal band of deep olive and brown, suggesting a distant shoreline or structure, while above it, angular bursts of cobalt blue, lemon yellow, and white hint at rooftops or sails catching the light. The lower half is dominated by cool, muted greens and greys, with subtle layering and visible palette knife marks that add a tactile quality.

The painting features a mix of smooth and textured brushstrokes, with areas of impasto lending weight and structure. The deliberate abstraction flattens perspective, creating a sense of quiet tension between land, form, and space.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully suited gilt frame with an inner linen border and gilt window. There is some craquelure present mainly on the top section of the painting, but the paint layer is stable overall and this does not detract from the overall composition. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

Topography in Red

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century abstract composition painted in oil 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.

In this composition, we can discern that the artist has abstracted a landscape into a dynamic interplay of geometry, texture, and tone. Horizontal planes in earthy reds, browns, and beige suggest a stylised terrain – possibly evoking farmland or desert formations – interrupted by sharp, angular forms that hint at distant structures or dwellings.

The composition is boldly architectural, grounded in the principles of mid-century modernist abstraction. The artist has applied oil paint in dense, tactile layers, with expressive impasto and areas of scraped-back texture. Pops of cobalt blue, yellow, and a crisp white triangle create points of visual tension and balance, lifting the palette from its otherwise grounded tonality.

A striking example of mid-century abstraction, the painting balances structure with expressive vitality, offering a modernist meditation on land, form, and space.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully suited gilt frame with an inner linen border and gilt window. There is some craquelure present as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is stable overall and this does not detract from the overall composition. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

A Close Bond

Sold

SOLD

A very large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist 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 composition captures the tender and affections connection between two people. Seated closely side by side, the two abstracted figures are depicted in a bold, minimalist, and colourful style. The focus is on shape, colour, and form rather than intricate details.

The palette consists of soft pastels, including shades of creams and yellows, with vibrant accents of blue, green, and red dispersed across the canvas. Upon close inspection of the painting, one can notice how the artist has skilfully layered contrasting swathes of colours to reveal a light texture and interest to this heart-warming painting.

Overall, the artist’s use of abstracted, geometric shapes, fragmented lines, and bold brushstrokes creates a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

This oil on canvas is accentuated by a dark wood frame with an outer and inner gold border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Size: 99 x 79 cm (including frame)

Black Boat

Sold

SOLD

An expressive mid-century modernist style coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition presents a black boat resting on a sandy shore, its deep shadow cast onto the beach. The background features a textured seascape, with rolling waves in various shades of blue and green crashing against the shore, while a pale blue sky stretches across the horizon. The foreground includes tufts of dune grass rendered in soft greens.

The colour palette is dominated by deep blues, greens, and sandy earth tones, with the stark black of the boat providing a dramatic focal point.

The artist has used a bold and expressive style – confidently executing visible brushstrokes that add texture and dynamism, particularly in the depiction of the waves, which are layered with impasto strokes of white and dark blue to capture their motion and energy.

This oil on board is set in a complementary silver frame. There are some very minor surface marks to painting but these do not detract from its overall appearance. The frame has some scuffs and paint loss.

Intersections of Grey

Sold

SOLD

UK shipping only.

A very large mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

Almost monochrome in its palette, this abstract composition has a focus on mark making. The artist has combined a variety of both loose and more controlled marks, creating interesting angles and shapes that meet and intersect as well as drawing attention to positive and negative space. The painting has a matte texture, giving it a raw and charcoal like quality. The artist has painted in a white border, which draws our eye inwards towards the main composition.

This oil on cradled panel is presented in a gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small mark to the left corner as shown, but is in good condition overall.

Patchwork Terrain

Sold

SOLD.

A vibrant and energetic mid-century modernist painting that offers a bold abstracted interpretation of a landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

Interlocking planes of rich colour – red, blue, orange, green and white – form an architectural patchwork suggestive of houses, hills, and cultivated plots. The upper section is dominated by a warm amber sky, radiating light across the structured terrain below.

The artist’s stylised approach uses flattened perspective and cubist influences, with simplified organic shapes nestled among angular forms. Textural elements such as dotted foliage, hatch-like brushwork for crops, and directional strokes for terrain add rhythm and variety. The brushstrokes are deliberate and graphic, reinforcing the composition’s structured yet playful visual language.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Quiet Hours

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and expressive mid-century interior still life that captures a quiet, contemplative moment within a rustic domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

A sunlit table by the window holds a cluster of everyday objects: a ceramic pot, a coffee grinder, and a single blue cup and saucer – all rendered with dynamic and swift brushstrokes. Soft daylight filters through curtains, casting diffused shadows and illuminating the worn tabletop with a gentle, silvery glow.

The artist has used broad, gestural brushstrokes and a muted palette of earthen browns, greys, creamy whites, and soft blues. The treatment of light and surface recalls Scandinavian modernist sensibilities, where atmosphere and introspection are prized over precision. The composition is anchored by bold tonal contrasts, yet the brushwork remains fluid and expressive, suggesting the transient nature of morning rituals and quiet solitude. A small potted plant on the windowsill adds a subtle warmth, hinting at life beyond the frame.

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

Room with Red Cushion

Sold

SOLD.

Free UK Delivery Only.

A large and expressive mid-century still life interior that captures a quiet, intimate domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1946.

A white-clothed table anchors the composition, atop which sits a rustic bucket, a dark green wine bottle, and a wooden fruit bowl brimming with apples and citrus. The scene unfolds in a modest room with a suggestion of a back door opening to stairs, painted in dark tones. A single chair with a red seat cushion partially frames the left side of the composition.

Executed in broad, expressive brushstrokes, the painting embraces the earthy palette – burnt orange, olive green, mustard yellow, muted blue, and chalky whites. The artist has used a loose, painterly style, with visible textures and confident, gestural strokes that lend the work a tactile immediacy. The result is a composition that is both grounded and atmospheric, imbued with a sense of nostalgia and quietude.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Winding Path to the Sea

Sold

SOLD.

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and serene mid-century modernist painting that captures a vast landscape rendered with bold, expressive brushwork and simplified forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1946.

At the centre of the composition, a red-roofed house sits nestled among rolling green hills, with winding white paths leading toward the horizon, where a band of deep blue suggests the presence of the sea.

The artist has abstracted natural elements into rhythmic, geometric shapes – trees, hills, and fences are distilled into confident planes of colour. A soft yet vivid palette of greens, yellows and blues bring a lyrical quality to the scene. Expressive painterly brushstrokes lend a sense of movement and spontaneity, evoking the energy of the landscape rather than a literal depiction.

With its dynamic composition and modernist interpretation of the countryside, this painting evokes both nostalgia and vitality – a quiet moment brimming with form and colour.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor age-related spots visible in the cloud area of the painting, otherwise it is in good vintage condition. The frame shows signs of wear, including areas of paint loss as shown.

Boats by Moonlight

Sold

SOLD.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

This composition depicts a harbour view at night, with the moon casting its light on the boat, buildings and figures. The artist has used the contrasts of shape, colour and form to his advantage to create this modernist scene. The silhouettes of the boats and buildings have been very cleverly outlined with white, and the reflection of the moon can be seen on the water in yellow. In the forefront we see figures also standing in the reflection of the light, which has been painted in white. Towards the right we see a warm glow from the window of a house. This nostalgic composition captures the beauty of the night by the water wonderfully.

The painting is presented in a very complementary slim gilt frame, which illuminates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

Encode (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

Free UK Shipping Only.

A very large 21st-century abstract painting that captures a rhythmic visual language of geometric forms and gestural marks, executed in oil on canvas.

At almost 1.2metres wide, this composition is set against a soft, muted sage green background, interwoven with an intricate network of white linear glyphs—some suggesting architectural schematics, others evoking primitive symbols or abstract cartography.

The artist has used a flat, matte surface treatment for the background, allowing the crisp white markings to emerge with clarity. The brushstrokes are confident and uniform, creating a sense of order amidst the apparent spontaneity. The overall style leans toward minimalistic abstraction, influenced by both modernist mark-making and contemporary urban semiotics.

This piece invites the viewer to decipher its quiet codes, encouraging contemplation of structure, language, and spatial memory.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary and well made light wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Interplay

Sold

SOLD

A large, striking and very well balanced abstract composition, painted in oil with areas of collage.

This painting features a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and layered textures, rendered in a muted, earthy palette with bursts of colour.

The dominant tones are cool greys and greens, softened with washes of white and dusty blue, punctuated by vibrant rusty oranges, ochres, and pale pinks. Angular shapes interlock and overlap, creating a sense of movement and fragmentation. There is a textural richness to the surface, likely from mixed media or layered paint application—some sections are soft and diffused, others sharp and defined.

The painting fits within the realm of modernist abstraction, echoing influences from Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. It evokes a sense of organic structure and emotional intensity, while remaining non-representational—there are no identifiable objects, allowing the viewer to explore form, space, and rhythm freely. The mood is contemplative and complex, suggesting inner tension or transformation.

This is a piece that invites close viewing and personal interpretation, offering new shapes and meanings the longer one looks.

The painting is presented in white tray frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Market Day

Sold

SOLD

A whimsical and characterful mid-century naïve style street scene composition that captures the vibrant rhythm of daily life in a French village, painted in oil onto board.

The composition is alive with loosely rendered figures – vendors, villagers, and a donkey – all set against a colourful streetscape adorned with signage. The figures, painted in exaggerated forms, convey the artist’s playful yet perceptive take on character and movement.

Executed in a bold, expressive hand, the painting features flat planes of colour and simplified shapes, hallmarks of post-war European modernism.

Matrix (Very Large)

Sold

SOLD

A very large and striking 21st-century abstract geometric painting, executed in oil on canvas.

This mesmerising painting is composed entirely of triangular shapes arranged in a tight, grid-like pattern. The triangles are painted in a restricted but bold palette of black, dark brown, white, and a soft cream, which creates a strong visual rhythm and contrast across the canvas. There is a visual order but the subtle shifts in orientation and colour prevent it from becoming monotonous.

The stark contrast between deep browns, black, and crisp white creates strong visual impact, but the occasional soft cream triangle adds warmth and breaks the binary, giving the eye a place to rest.

From afar the painting looks clean, precise and monotone. But as you move toward it and study its intricacies, you begin to realise the range of colours and the visible brushstrokes, which further enhances the fact that this is indeed a hand painted piece with more subtle details that are not immediately obvious at first glance.

The restrained colour scheme enhances sophistication. It feels modern and timeless, making it versatile in a range of settings from minimalist homes to design-forward spaces.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.

Size: 80 x 120 cm (including frame)

Chimneys & Cypress

Sold

SOLD

A serene and very pleasant large mid-century modernist painting that presents a distilled suburban scene rendered in confident, simplified forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

A row of neatly ordered conifers frames the background, echoing the vertical rhythm of white chimneys rising from geometric rooftops. The houses are flattened into clean, angular planes, their shadows creating a dynamic interplay between structure and space.

The artist has used a controlled, muted palette – dusty olive greens, blues, and soft greys – punctuated by gentle pops of yellow and red flowers in the foreground. the brushwork is smooth and deliberate, favouring blocks of colour over texture, evoking a sense of calm and order. The composition masterfully balances abstraction and representation, capturing a tranquil, idealised view of domestic architecture.

This large oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with visible grain and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 64 x 84 cm (including frame)

Courtyard Harvest

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and naïve style mid-century figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures a courtyard scene where a group of figures, dressed in dark clothing and wide-brimmed hats, are engaged in harvesting and transporting produce.

The artist has used loose, expressive brushstrokes with light texture, contributing to the painting’s lively and dynamic quality.

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