A 20th century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.
This painting is reminiscent of the British Modern artist Peter Lanyon, who painted landscape both from many points of view, many visual perspectives, but also conceptually from different perspectives. Although it is unclear what this particular piece is inspired by (perhaps it not meant to be representative of anything at all!), it is clear that the artist is focused on the rhythm and meeting of forms. We see a mix of both harder and softer forms, built up in layers of colour, where lines and shapes meet and intersect on planes of colour behind it.
This oil on board is presented in a wide walnut veneered frame that suits it well. Both the painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some very minor wear to the frame commensurate with age.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas and dated 1962.
In this study of a nude figure, the artist has painted in an expressionist style, using broad and sweeping brushstrokes. The nude figure rests on a seat with a red covering, and echoed behind her is the same red fabric, presumably a curtain. The artist has intentionally left out any realistic details, focusing instead on the formal elements of colour, shape and form. The composition is very well balanced, and lighter pastel colours of the nude figure juxtapose brilliantly with the deeper and richer colours that surround her.

A captivating original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have 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 unidentified objects including vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface with a splash of striking red. 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 has used a relatively monochrome palette with pops of colour including the green and yellow circles and red backdrop, which draw our eye 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 oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with carved patterns. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
