  • Set of Apples

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A pair of oil paintings depicting apples, both on canvas, with one dated 1974 and the other 1969. Both pieces are 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.

    Inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of simple, everyday objects, and embodying the essence of a modernist style, the apples and their surroundings have been rendered with a combination of expressive and loose brushstrokes, and have been skilfully reduced to blocks of contrasting colours. This colour contrast wonderfully captures the soft curves of the apples and demonstrates a sense of depth and dimensionality to the paintings.  There is a soothing quality to both of these works.

    Both oils are each housed in a simple wood frame. Both the paintings and their frames are in excellent vintage condition.

    The paintings are also available to purchase separately.  Each painting is a one-off unique hand painted piece, so the set of 2 will be available until or unless one of the pieces is purchased individually.

  • Red Thoughts

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An engaging and powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen board. Signed, titled and dated 2024 on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    This oil on linen board is housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 50 x 40 cm (including frame)

  • Stacked Objects on Red

    £760

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Untitled

    £335

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A unique abstract collograph by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, executed with carbon black oil on fabriano printmaking paper, and beautifully presented in a double card mount with blue detail, within a gilt frame.

    This collograph is described as such because the base of the plate is cardboard rather than metal. Frances would have started with a shiny surface, carving away to reveal the matt surface underneath. This is an intaglio method where the ink stays within the recess, once the plate is sealed and inked up it is then printed through a press; a heavy metal roller on a flat bed. The pressure transfers the print onto dampened paper. With this particular print Frances used papers and texture to add colour while the plate was printed in carbon black oil based ink on fabriano printmaking paper. She decided to only print this plate once which is why it’s a 1/1 , making it entirely unique.

    A brilliantly executed cityscape oil composition, painted in 1958 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The composition features a cityscape of buildings including a tall church dome in Spain, set against a soothing clear blue sky.

    Containing elements of abstraction and cubism, the artist has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting colours, and the deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on the overall structural highlights as well as on colour.

    The dominant use of brown, black and cream shades create a warm and earthy atmosphere, and the contrasting tones help to create a sense of depth.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with an inner linen border, that illuminates the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 32 x 51 cm (including frame)
