    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poignant mid-century still life composition that evokes solitude and reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1977.

    The painting presents a tall, elegant candlestick with a melting white candle beside a thick, well-worn book. A dark ribbon bookmark drapes softly over the book’s cover. The composition is set against a deep red background and a muted olive-grey surface, creating a rich contrast that draws the viewer into the stillness of the scene.

    Executed in a restrained style, the artist has used minimal detailing and flat spatial planes, allowing texture and form to take precedence. The brushstrokes are deliberate and slightly coarse, especially in the candle’s flickering flame and the textured surface of the book’s pages, lending the piece a tactile quality. The muted, earthy palette enhances the painting’s meditative tone.

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate and elegant mid-century interior still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    At the heart of the composition is a potted geranium, its blushing pink blossoms and lush green foliage rendered in thick, expressive strokes that suggest the fleeting warmth of sunlight filtering into the room.

    The flower is flanked by two pitchers – one an earthy brown and the other a cool, light pale blue. The background is divided into blocks of pastel yellows, muted purples, and soft aquas, creating a subtly abstracted interior that emphasises tonal harmony and light.

    Painted with loose yet deliberate brushwork, the surface reveals the artist’s hand in every sweep and dab, imbuing the scene with movement.

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and rhythmic composition mid-century modernist style painting that captures the essence of an abstracted landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is structured through overlapping planes and blocks of colour that suggest rolling hills, fields, and sky – yet remain delightfully ambiguous, inviting interpretation.

    The palette is striking and earthy: rich browns and rust tones mingle with teal, blue, and  green. The brushwork varies from smooth sweeps to dry, textural applications, creating depth and movement across the canvas. White edges and bare patches of the underlying surface provide breathing space and contrast, giving the composition a spontaneous and layered appearance.

  • Shadowed Huts

    £955

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist oil composition that distills an architectural scene into a series of angular forms and geometric planes, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

    The composition appears to depict clustered huts rendered in an abstracted, cubist manner – each structure fragmented into simplified blocks of light and dark. The overlapping rooftops and stark verticals guide the eye across a village that feels both familiar and surreal.

    The palette is moody and minimal, dominated by deep charcoal, blue, and cream tones with hints of peach. These shades add an atmospheric quietude to the scene, suggesting dusk.

    Thick, directional brushstrokes carved into impasto layers give the painting a tactile depth. The artist’s hand is evident in the textured surface, with strokes laid down in rhythmic, almost architectural patterns. The style draws on both Cubist abstraction and the expressive materiality of mid-century modernism, offering a bold yet contemplative visual experience.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting has some craquelure present, and the frame has some scuffs.

    The painting bursts with saturated reds, deep purples, and yellows, offset by bold swathes of white and textured brushwork that creates a dynamic, almost rhythmic background.

    The palette is earthy and muted – browns, greys and beige – with punctuations of orange, evoking both the solemnity and vitality of the human condition. The work feels deeply emotive, bordering on the surreal, and invites contemplation on themes of community, anonymity, and collective memory.

  • Coastal Cafe

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting depicts a sunlit café terrace beside the harbour in Paphos, Cyprus, rendered in a loose, impressionistic style. The scene exudes Mediterranean warmth and leisure, with golden light dominating the palette.

    The buildings behind the terrace are painted in soft pastel tones—lavender, peach, and ochre—with subtle shadows suggesting the intensity of the midday sun. A line of round-topped trees stretches into the distance along the promenade, creating a rhythmic, almost sculptural element. On the right side, the calm, blue harbour is visible, with moored boats, gentle waves, and sunlit reflections adding a tranquil touch. In the background, rolling hills and headlands suggest the rugged Cypriot coastline fading into a hazy, sun-washed distance.

    The brushwork is loose and expressive, focusing on form and light over fine detail. Figures and objects are suggested rather than defined, giving the scene a dreamy, almost timeless quality.

    This work captures a moment of peaceful coastal life, where locals and visitors enjoy the simple pleasure of sitting at a café by the sea. The painting reflects the relaxed elegance of Cyprus and conveys the hazy beauty of Mediterranean light, inviting the viewer into its idyllic atmosphere.

    A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.

    Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner.

    £975

    Available

    The composition captures an intimate scene of two figures, likely a mother and child or siblings, portrayed in a semi-abstract style. The figures are rendered with simplified, almost block-like forms, emphasising the connection between them rather than intricate details. One figure, dressed in a deep blue dress, cradles a dark form that resembles a small animal or a toy, while the other, smaller figure, appears to be reaching out or gesturing.

    The painting balances representational elements with a geometric abstraction, and there is a focus is on shape, colour, and form, rather than realistic details.

  • Low Horizon

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto board and dated 1958.

    This painting is a minimalist landscape, capturing a solitary figure walking down a wide, pale path—possibly a country road—toward a low horizon.

    The solitary figure, painted in dark tones, is central and walking away from the viewer, creating a sense of distance, journey, or introspection. The path is a broad, almost white expanse that dominates the foreground and narrows toward the horizon, drawing the eye into the depth of the scene. On either side of the path, blocks of green fields and light brown earth subtly divide the composition. The horizon line is low, with a few small, dark farm buildings or trees silhouetted against a pale blue-grey sky.

    The style is impressionistic and minimalist, with loose, broad brushstrokes and a limited colour palette. The use of soft blending and lack of sharp detail gives the painting an atmospheric, serene mood. The ambiguity of the figure’s form adds to the emotional and poetic quality of the scene.

    This is a quiet, evocative painting that suggests solitude, rural simplicity, and the passage of time. The lone figure on a vast path invites viewers to ponder themes of journey, memory, or homecoming, all conveyed through understated yet emotive brushwork.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well suited distressed gilt frame, with a linen inner border. enhancing its classic and contemplative feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some paint losses to the frame as shown in the photos.

    The figures, rendered in earthy tones of brown, beige, and muted grey, appear to be engaged in a quiet, contemplative moment. The artist has used a combination of broad, gestural brushstrokes and textured layering, which gives the figures a rugged, almost sculptural presence within the composition.

    The background is a juxtaposition of muted green and off-white blocks of colour, suggesting an interior space or an abstracted environment. The deliberate abstraction of the figures, reduced to essential forms and shapes, allows for multiple interpretations, emphasising mood and presence over detailed representation.

    The painting’s style reflects the mid-century modernist movement, characterised by a harmonious blend of abstraction and figuration. The artist’s use of subdued, natural colours evokes a soothing, meditative feeling, while the brushwork conveys a sense of spontaneity and raw emotion.

    A captivating and wonderfully textured large mid-century abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the painting transports the viewer to a vast, windswept terrain, reminiscent of rugged coastlines or snow-covered plains. The composition exudes a sense of movement and fluidity, as if the landscape itself is caught in a moment of transformation.

    The artist has used an expressive and dynamic impasto technique, layering thick, textured strokes to create depth and dimension. The brushstrokes are bold and confident, adding a tactile quality to the piece, while the swirling lines and undulating forms hint at the forces of nature shaping the environment.

The subtle gradients of grey merge seamlessly into the creamy whites, with occasional touches of olive and beige that suggest geological formations.

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and captivating mid-century landscape painting that presents a dynamic interplay between abstraction and representation, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a rural landscape dominated by an angular, white structure – likely a house or barn – set against rugged terrain. The composition balances organic and geometric forms, emphasising the contrast between man-made and natural elements.

    The piece embodies elements of abstract expressionism, blending gestural and textured brushstrokes with semi-representational forms. The fragmented, layered approach to the structure hints at collage techniques, while the landscape itself is rendered through broad, sweeping gestures.

  • The Red Cabin

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and richly textured mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1939.

    The painting depicts a tranquil rural scene, dominated by a winding path leading towards a small, rustic red cabin. The scene is surrounded by rolling hills adorned with tall, narrow trees, showcasing a variety of green and earthy tones. In the foreground, a tree with sparse leaves reaches over the path, creating a natural arch that frames the view. The background reveals a dense forest on the hillside, painted in darker, muted hues, suggesting depth and distance.

    The artist has used an impressionistic style with bold, expressive brushstrokes that give the painting a dynamic and textured quality. The paint is applied thickly, creating a tactile, almost sculptural effect. The brushwork, particularly in the pathway and foliage, is deliberately loose, emphasising movement and the natural flow of the landscape.

    The composition features a harmonious palette of earthy browns, greens, and soft yellows, punctuated by the vibrant red of the cabin.  The varied shades of green in the trees and fields complement the rich brown tones of the path and hills, evoking a fresh and soothing quality in the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary robust wood frame.. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

  • Black Cat

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and engaging portrait composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

    This painting features a black cat reclining in a relaxed position, set against a minimalist two-tone background. The work is framed in a round black frame, enhancing its folk-art charm and giving it a portrait-like quality.

    The black cat is shown lying down with its front legs extended and tail curled around. It has a calm, observant expression. Vivid green eyes stand out against the black fur, giving the cat an alert and slightly mystical appearance.

    The painting has a serene and slightly mysterious atmosphere. The strong color contrasts and centered composition make the cat the focal point, while the circular frame adds a unique, almost medallion-like quality. It’s both whimsical and elegant—perfectly capturing the quiet power and grace of a black cat.

    This oil on board is housed in a black oval frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some light marks but is in good condition overall.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • Submarine and Sperm Whale

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very engaging nautical whale scene, painted in a naïve style in oil onto canvas, by British artist Matt Rix.

    This painting features a stylised sperm whale in a whimsical, folk art style. Painted in a flat, matte black, the whale has a massive rectangular head and a curled, expressive tail. The whale’s mouth is open, revealing a row of sharp, exaggerated triangular red teeth, adding a touch of humour. It has a prominent white eye that gives it a quirky, alert expression.

    Near the top of the painting, a small grey submarine floats on the ocean surface. It has a simple form with yellow-lit portholes, a periscope, and a rotating propeller indicated by motion lines. The inclusion of the submarine adds a playful narrative element, possibly hinting at a humorous or surreal underwater encounter.

    This is a whimsical and narrative-driven artwork that juxtaposes a majestic sperm whale with a tiny submarine in a humorous and imaginative way. The flat, graphic quality and minimal detail suggest a light-hearted tone, while the bold shapes and clear composition make it visually striking.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a black frame which suits it well. Both painting and frame are in very good condition.
