Blue Tableware

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid-century interior still life composition executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is set in a dimly lit interior that exudes a moody feel. The backdrop is a shadowy blend of dark brown and dark green blocks of colours. In the foreground, a table emerges, revealing a well-arranged array of still life.

On the table, a selection of blue-toned objects commands our attention. A blue plate and a blue bowl sit gracefully between a spoon and a fruit, its smooth surfaces catching the faint light. A blue pitcher stands tall and is partially illuminated.

The artist’s use of colour gradient is masterful, emphasising the three-dimensional qualities of the objects. The dark and muted palette, combined with smooth brushstrokes, creates a sense of calm and introspection, as if capturing a quiet moment at night.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wood frame with silver windows, that pairs very well with the painting. The painting has some scattered craquelure present but the paint layer is stable overall.

Size: 68 x 81 cm (including frame)

Yellow & Green Ball

Sold

SOLD

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 on the reverse 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 vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface. 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 green and yellow circles, 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 painting is wonderfully presented in a distressed style frame with ridge detail, and an inner linen-lined border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 62.5 x 71.5 cm (including frame)

Terrace

Sold

SOLD

A large and very striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Although largely abstract, we can just about discern a scene of several terraced houses. The artist has reduced this townscape scene into abstract forms and shapes, using contrasting colours to create a sense of depth within the composition. He has used a warm and rich palette of terracotta red, orange and black. The paint has been applied thickly, creating areas of impasto and texture throughout the composition.

The painting is on stretched canvas and can be hung unframed. There is some scattered craquelure and general age wear that is commensurate with age, but the painting is stable and looks good overall.

Size: 85 x 54.5 cm (including frame)

Vibrant Flowers

Sold

SOLD.

A lively and vibrant mid-century still life painting that conveys a sense of life and dynamism through its abstract style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

Through the use of sweeping broad strokes that have been confidently executed, swathes of bright orange, deep purple, golden yellows, and vibrant blues and greens blend and overlap, creating a sense of movement and energy that suggests the lively vibrancy of a floral arrangement in full bloom.
