    £430

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and vivid mid century modernist townscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this port scene, the artist has reduced the buildings and structures down into planes of non naturalistic colour, creating segmented areas of contrasting colour that form this vivid scene. In the distance, the sea is visible, with a monument in turquoise punctuating the composition. The brushstrokes are largely horizontal, except for the trees (painted in brown), as well as the sky. There is a palpable energy and movement to the piece, and a lovely rhythmic effect flowing through the painting.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame which complements it very well. The painting has a small loss to the top edge as shown in the close ups, but is otherwise in good condition.

  • Grounded

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully executed mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this atmospheric composition, the artist has applied the paint thickly, creating lots of areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) and variation in texture. Depicting what appears to be a rural landscape, the lower section of the painting has richer, earthier colours in broad sweeping brushstrokes . This juxtaposes against the lighter top half of the painting which has been painted in a mixture of white and lilac, with hints of blue underneath, alluding to the depth of layers within the painting.

    There is a really earthy quality to the piece, and its abstract subject makes it an easy fit into most interiors.

    The painting is housed in a silver leaf wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A striking harbour town scene, painted in mixed media onto board, by British artist Elaine Allender.

  • La Plage

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A modernist style abstract composition painted in acrylic onto canvas board, by French born artist Nils Jean.

Nils combines these shapes to form a very harmonious composition. Bold colours of black, blue and sandy brown are set against a lighter grey-blue background.

French born, Nils Jean currently lives on the South coast of the United Kingdom.

I breathe it’s forests, eyes closed, hands open. I soak in it’s seas and run down it’s hills. It’s rooted within me, a lived history within every new step. I know this ground, I’ve walked it before.’

    This charming narrative painting features an array of details for us to explore, from the patterns of the rugs and walls, to the curtains and objects on the walls and the tiled stove with a fire.

    A family of adults and young children are sat by a table laid out with drinks. They appear to have a song book in their hand, as they listen and sing to the music played by the musician with the accordion at the right foreground of the painting.

    The artist has used a Naïve style, infusing the painting with an aura of playful charm as well as rich colours. There is sincerity to its simplicity, making it an enjoyable piece to slowly take in and explore with its wonderful array of details and uplifting feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs on its gilt border.

    Size: 31 x 36 cm (including frame)

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style painting that depicts a serene and minimalist interior scene, painted in oil onto board.

    The composition centers around a table, with simple furnishings. A lamp hangs from the ceiling, and the painting captures only parts of the room –  focusing on small details like a blue cushion, a container with pencils, and a partial view of a painting on the wall in the background.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the scene is rendered in blocks of soft, muted colours—light blues, soft creams, and earthy browns—creating a sense of tranquility and a calm atmosphere. The brushstrokes are textured yet subtle, evoking a peaceful, uncluttered space.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting has a tiny pinhole at its lower left, which is only visible upon close inspection. Otherwise, the painting is in good vintage condition.

    Size: 52 x 74.5 cm (including frame)
