SOLD.
A large and very well executed mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto canvas.
A male figure in his workwear sits on stool, with his cap resting on his knee, and perhaps a box of cigarettes clasped in his hand, captured at a point where he is taking a break from work. With its solid patches of colour and clearly defined forms, this striking portrait contains elements of post-impressionism, with the artist seeking to express emotions rather than just simply optical impressions. The figure looks straight at us, but his expression is kind, and there is a sense of warmth and familiarity to him.
We can just about see the view outside the window – a series of geometrical shapes alluding to houses and buildings. These geometry of angles and contrasting angles continues throughout the picture, with definitive forms and lines building up the picture.
This oil on canvas is housed in complementary slim wood frame. There is creasing to the canvas as shown, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

A large and expressive abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

SOLD.
A brilliantly executed and striking mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.
The painting presents 4 figures evenly spaced out, that appear to be in Central Asian dress. The facial features of the figure have been intentionally left out, focusing our attention on the qualities of colour, form, shape, and brushstrokes.
Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has reconstructed the figures in their costumes down to geometric blocks of contrasting lively colours. Layers of colours have also been skilfully mixed and applied to form a beautiful background with a rust appearance.
This oil on board is housed in a cream frame with a linen inner border. There are some areas of wear and paint loss to both the painting and frame, but this is in keeping with the overall vintage style of the piece.

SOLD.
A brilliantly executed mid century modernist interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.
While working under a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has also incorporated a playful element to the work, creating a visual puzzle for the viewer. Intricate lines, forms, shapes and colour draw our eyes inwards encouraging us to look around this studio and build an awareness of its space and depth. There is a sense of familiarity and informality within the studio that the artist has masterfully conveyed.
The use of the Droste effect, where the artist has created a painting within a painting, creates a riddle for our eyes, beckoning us to figure out where the painting on the easel within the composition ends, and where the studio begins. There is also the incorporation of light and shadow, but the artist has used non realistic colours to communicate this, and has used flat planes of contrasting colours and angles to capture the light coming in through the windows of the studio.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner white slip, which suits the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and striking mid-century abstract composition, executed in oil on canvas and dated 1970.
Broad, short, and expressive brushstrokes in an array of colours that have been swiftly applied to the canvas make up this painting. Although its subject matter appears to be entirely abstract, a town by a coast is just discernible as the artist has reduced its form down to coloured shapes and strokes.
The artist has used an array of muted colours that harmonise wonderfully together, and there is a very satisfying rhythm and dynamism to the abstract composition.
This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. There are some very minor marks to the top half of painting as shown, and the frame is in very good vintage condition.

An outstanding modernist style painting depicting a fishing village, dated 1955.
In the background, rows of huts line the ocean front. In the foreground, fishing nets are placed over a wooden support, hanging up to dry by the sand.
Muted tones of moss green, burnt sienna and blue-grey make up the palette, giving it a really lovely earthy feel, and a typical mid century vibe.

A striking and emotive large mid 20th century modernist style nude portrait, executed in oil on canvas.
A seated nude is depicted against a wonderfully painted backdrop. With her head resting on her hand, she is in a pensive pose, deep in thought.
At first glance, this semi-abstracted depiction of the nude figure may seem simple, but as we spend time to look at the colours and brushstrokes, we soon realise its complexity.
Using a wide array of colours including darker pastel shades and nude tones, the artist displays an excellent understanding of colour theory as layers and pairs of contrasting shades sit beside and on top of one another, blending together effortlessly and harmoniously.
The painting is composed with swatches of colours, each brushstroke executed back and forth with so much vigour and zest, almost a projection of the artist’s or the nude’s inner emotional state.
This oil on canvas sits in a beautiful gilt frame with an inner dark wood window as well as linen lining. The colours of the frame complement the painting extremely well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed still life in pastel, beautifully presented in a black card mount and a silver frame.
The style of the pastel drawing as well as the frame that it comes in are both typically ‘mid century modern’. Vibrant colours juxtapose against cast shadows, creating a sense of mystery within the picture. The objects pictured almost seem to carry personalities of their own that they have intentionally kept hidden. There is a cinematic and theatrical feel to this piece – a feeling that the objects have been grouped together on a stage, knowing that they are bring watched by us. The artist has chosen objects that have strong, clear, statement-like shapes, and has set them against a geometric background, drawing our attention to the lines and forms.
This pastel is framed in its original light silvery-gold frame , and is set behind glass. The pastel is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A large and gentle coastal landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1953 on the reverse.

The composition has been skilfully reconstructed down to blocks of contrasting colours and brushstrokes.

A very unique mid century portrait, painted in oil onto canvas.
Cubist in nature, the artist has taken an interesting perspective in the portrayal of two figures. Their forms have been flattened, and the painting has a strong focus on line, pattern, colour and angular shapes.
Through the use of distinct and repeated brushstrokes in one particular direction, the artist has used flat angular shapes to represent the different sides of the figures to suggest their three-dimensional structures.
Through the use of a monochromatic palette with unique hints of blue and brown, the tonal gradation from darker moody tones to lighter shades as well as the use of bold outlines also allows the figures to be more three dimensional.
This oil on canvas is housed in a light blue painted distressed frame that suits the painting wonderfully. There is some scattered craquelure present as shown but the paint layer is stable overall. There are minor scuffs to the frame which is in keeping with the style. Overall the painting and frame are both in very good vintage condition.
