    A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This abstract painting is anchored by a central, organic form that hovers between figuration and pure gesture. Suggestive of a standing presence, the shape emerges from a richly layered ground, inviting interpretation without resolving into a fixed identity. The composition feels both grounded and dynamic, as if capturing a fleeting moment of movement or emotional intensity.

    The style reflects the expressive confidence of mid-century abstraction, where the artist prioritises form, colour, and texture over literal representation. There is a palpable sense of spontaneity, balanced by a careful orchestration of space and mass.

    A bold palette dominates the canvas: deep vermilion and burnt sienna create a warm, immersive backdrop, while passages of mustard yellow and soft terracotta build the central form. A striking vertical of black introduces contrast and structural tension, offset by a lighter, almost chalky white that breaks through the composition and adds luminosity. Flecks of cobalt blue and hints of green peek through in places, lending vibrancy and subtle complexity.

    The brushwork is varied and tactile: thick, impasto applications sit alongside scraped and dragged passages, revealing layers beneath. Broad, gestural strokes convey immediacy, while areas of stippling and dry-brush texture add depth and rhythm. The surface carries a physical presence, with paint built up and worked back, embodying the artist’s process in every mark.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame with a brushed gold finish. The painting has some areas of craquelure, consistent with age, which remain stable and do not detract from the visual impact. The frame has light scuffing and minor areas of surface loss.

    Size: 83 x 58 cm (including frame)

    A striking mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The painting presents a loosely defined human form, distilled into bold, expressive shapes. The figure emerges through a careful balance of abstraction and suggestion – its head and torso implied through layered blocks rather than precise lines, inviting the viewer to interpret posture and presence rather than fixed identity.

    The composition is anchored by a warm, radiant palette. Rich browns and golden yellows dominate the background, evoking warmth and light, while deep charcoal and inky black forms carve out the silhouette. Soft passages of cream and off-white sweep across the figure, creating contrast and a sense of movement. A muted blush and earthy rose tone subtly punctuate the composition, adding depth and a quiet emotional resonance.

    The brushwork is confident and gestural, with visible strokes that vary from broad, matte swathes to more textured, layered applications. Some areas reveal dry-brush techniques, allowing the underlayers to breathe through, while others are more densely applied, giving weight and structure. The interplay between rough and refined surfaces enhances the tactile quality of the piece.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some scuffs to the corners of the frame.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This striking painting presents two simplified human forms suspended in a quiet, intimate exchange. One figure stands in soft green clothing, loosely holding a cluster of yellow flowers, while the other sits nearby, turned toward them in a moment that feels conversational. Their faces are intentionally undefined, reduced to smooth, pale planes.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces abstraction through flattened forms, pared-back anatomy, and a near-collage approach to composition. The figures are constructed with bold, interlocking shapes, their outlines subtly broken and reassembled with gestural marks that lend a sense of movement and quiet fragmentation.

    The palette is dominated by layered greens – ranging from mint and sage to deeper teal – punctuated by fresh accents of lemon yellow, sky blue, and hints of charcoal and white. These colours create a luminous, almost sunlit atmosphere, evoking nature without depicting it literally.

    Brushwork is confident: broad, matte planes of colour are interrupted by swift, expressive strokes and linear marks that cut across the surface. These gestural accents introduce rhythm and spontaneity, softening the otherwise graphic structure and adding depth to the composition.

    Altogether, the piece captures a fleeting human connection – poised somewhere between stillness and conversation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There are some light marks to the painting, most notably near the face of the figure on the right. The frame shows minor scuffing consistent with age.

  • Reclining Figure in Red

    Reclining Figure in Red

    £995

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The painting captures the essence of the human form through a language of bold reduction and tactile surface. A reclining figure emerges from the composition, its contours simplified into rounded, interlocking shapes that suggest the curve of a shoulder, the bend of a hip, and the quiet weight of a resting body. The figure feels both present and elusive – more sensed than precisely defined – inviting the viewer to complete the form through perception.

    The style is distinctly modernist, leaning into abstraction while retaining a strong figurative anchor. There is a confident balance between structure and spontaneity: broad planes of colour establish the composition, while energetic, almost impulsive marks disrupt and animate the surface. The artist’s hand is evident throughout, giving the work a raw, expressive immediacy.

    The palette is warm and striking, dominated by rich vermilion reds, burnt orange, and deep maroon tones that form a saturated backdrop. Against this, the figure is rendered in creamy, off-white hues, punctuated by flashes of cobalt blue and teal. These cooler accents create visual tension and rhythm, guiding the eye across the composition and adding depth to the otherwise flattened space.

    Brushwork is thick and textural, with areas of heavy impasto that catch the light and emphasise the physicality of the paint. Scraped passages and layered strokes contribute to a richly worked surface, where traces of earlier marks remain visible beneath. This layering gives the painting a sense of history and movement, as though the figure has been gradually revealed through successive gestures.

    Overall, the piece is a powerful study in form, colour, and material – intimate yet bold, gestural yet composed.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame that has a gently stepped profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffs.

    £855

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This charming painting captures a quiet, intimate moment between two children, absorbed in a shared task. One stands steady while the other bends slightly forward, both focused on lifting or holding a soft, ambiguous form between them – perhaps a cushion, or an object of play. Their faceless forms heighten the universality of the scene, allowing the viewer to project their own memories of childhood connection and curiosity.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is pared back to essential shapes and gestures. The figures are outlined through simplified silhouettes, with an intentional absence of facial detail that shifts emphasis to posture and interaction. The background dissolves into abstract patches of colour, suggesting an environment rather than defining it – echoing influences of mid-century European modernism with a playful, almost childlike sensibility.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by soft greens, turquoise blues, and warm earthy tones. The contrast between the cool, airy background and the warmer clothing of the figures creates a gentle visual rhythm. Subtle, irregular streaks and patches of colour are scattered across the surface, adding movement and a sense of spontaneity.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unrefined, applied in flat, matte blocks with visible texture from the canvas beneath. There is a rawness to the application – edges are imperfect, transitions are abrupt – which lends the piece its authenticity and expressive charm. The painting feels both deliberate and instinctive, embodying the spirit of mid-century abstraction where form, colour, and emotion take precedence over realism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there are some marks present on the surface of the painting. There is also a very small dent to the top right edge, along with scuffing to the frame.

  • A Moment to Read

    A Moment to Read

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure absorbed in reading, positioned beside a softly lit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The setting feels intimate and introspective – books are stacked and scattered across a desk and nearby surfaces. The figure’s posture, slightly bowed over the book, conveys a sense of stillness and focus.

    Rendered in a distinctly expressive, modernist style, the composition leans toward abstraction without losing its figurative anchor. The artist simplifies the figure’s facial features, allowing gesture and stance to carry emotional weight. There is a subtle tension between structure and looseness – forms are blocked in with confidence, yet edges dissolve and shift, lending the scene a fleeting quality.

    The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep charcoals, and mossy greens, punctuated by passages of pale blue and a warm, luminous yellow from the window light. This interplay of cool and warm tones creates depth and atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the glowing interior light source.

    Brushstrokes are tactile and deliberate: thick, painterly applications of oil give the surface a textured, almost sculptural quality. The handling is direct and unrefined in places, with visible strokes that trace the artist’s hand, reinforcing the immediacy and emotional sincerity of the work.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful champagne coloured wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Dream Reflex

    Dream Reflex

    £1,150

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and compelling evocative 1987 figurative interior painting that captures a contemplative moment shared between three figures set within a softly abstracted studio environment, by Finnish postwar artist Marjatta Sarasalo (1930 – 2006).

    Sarasalo’s paintings have a very distinctive style, which incorporate line drawings of figures on very textured backgrounds as seen in this piece. Here’s the bodies have been rendered in a delicate, linear style – each figure outlined with expressive black contour lines against a textured, ochre-toned ground.

    Their poses are relaxed yet poised: one sits cross-legged in profile, another stands beside her, while the third looms gently in the background, creating a rhythm of human presence that feels both classical and modern.

    Executed with a refined palette of warm sand, muted green, pale rose, and chalky white, the composition is harmonised by vertical bands of colour that frame and anchor the figures, suggesting architectural planes or light filtering through curtains. The layered surface – built up with dry, rough brushstrokes and subtle scumbling—imbues the work with a tactile, fresco-like quality.

    The painting’s quiet grandeur and subdued palette speak to a modernist sensitivity, where figuration, abstraction, and texture merge in serene dialogue.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick to its left edge but is in good condition overall.

  • Figure in Constructed Room

    Figure in Constructed Room

    £1,085

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very striking mid-century modern composition that presents a pared-back interior scene distilled into bold geometry and quiet symbolism, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957 by the estalished Swedish artist Bertil Berntsson (1921-2002), whose works have been exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm, Ystad Art Museum, Malmö Museum, and the Helsingborg City Museum, to name a few.

    At the centre stands a simplified elongated female figure that has been rendered with minimal contour yet carrying a strong, sculptural presence. Beside her, a cylindrical vessel or drum-like form anchors the composition, its solidity contrasting with the openness of the surrounding space.

    The setting is constructed through intersecting planes and architectural lines, suggesting walls, windows, or partitions without fully resolving into a literal interior. This ambiguity lends the work a contemplative quality – where figure and object coexist in a suspended, silent dialogue.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modernist influences, drawing on elements of abstraction and cubist structure. Thick, deliberate black outlines define the forms, creating a graphic framework that flattens perspective while guiding the eye across the composition. The restrained palette features soft creams, muted greys, and a gentle teal-blue panel, balanced by deeper blacks and earthy browns. These colours are applied in broad, even fields, with subtle tonal shifts that add depth without disrupting the overall calm.

    The brushwork is confident, largely smooth and controlled, with occasional visible strokes and dry-brush textures that lend a tactile quality to the surface. The result is a harmonious interplay between line, form, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame that complements the earthy palette of the work. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Harbour Stillness

    Harbour Stillness

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century painting that captures a quiet harbour scene where two small sailboats rest gently on calm, reflective waters, painted in oil onto board in 1942 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The composition is pared back and contemplative: boats sit low in the foreground, their slender masts rising vertically and echoed in the soft, rippling reflections below. Beyond them, a simplified shoreline unfolds in horizontal bands, punctuated by a small white structure and subtle architectural hints, evoking a sunlit coastal setting at rest.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction with a strong emphasis on form reduction and spatial harmony. Perspective is flattened, and depth is suggested through layered planes rather than strict realism. The artist has embraced a minimalist approach, allowing negative space and quiet geometry to guide the eye.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained and harmonious:soft blues, muted aquas, sandy browns, and warm creams dominate the scene. These tones gently contrast and blend, creating a tranquil, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The water mirrors these hues with delicate variations, enhancing the sense of stillness.

    Brushstrokes are loose yet intentional, with visible, confident applications of paint. The surface shows subtle texture, particularly in the water and sky, where strokes move fluidly and horizontally. Edges are softened and forms are simplified, giving the work an airy, lyrical quality.

    This oil on board is presented in an elegant wood frame with a warm, brushed gold and silver finish, and a gently stepped profile with subtle ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Presence in Blue

    Presence in Blue

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century figurative interior that presents a poised, contemplative woman in blue, seated within a softly structured domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure sits slightly angled yet grounded, her form simplified and solid, conveying both stillness and quiet introspection. To her side, a table holds a warm-toned ceramic vessel, anchoring the composition and balancing the human presence with an object of everyday life. The checkered floor beneath introduces a subtle rhythm, guiding the eye through the composition while reinforcing the interior setting.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward a restrained, semi-abstract figuration. The artist reduces the figure and surroundings into flattened planes and geometric blocks, prioritising mood and structure over detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully muted yet expressive -cool, dusty blues dominate the figure’s dress, contrasted with terracottas, and soft yellows in the background and still life elements. These tonal contrasts create a quiet dialogue between warmth and coolness, light and shadow.

    Brushstrokes are confident and painterly, applied in broad, visible sweeps that give the work texture and life. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, allowing forms to blend subtly into one another. The handling of paint feels intuitive and unforced, with areas of thicker application adding depth, particularly in the darker passages and along the patterned floor.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with warm, natural wood grain and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and the frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Long Way Home

    The Long Way Home

    £430

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An enchanting 20th century naïve style street scene composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1969.

    A lone figure in a striking red coat walks up a softly sloping street with surrounding buildings, drawing the eye into the composition and anchoring the otherwise tranquil setting. A small car rests beneath a delicate rainbow-like arc, while sparse details such as a traffic light and bare tree add subtle narrative touches without overwhelming the scene.

    Stylistically, the work embraces a naïve style approach, where perspective is intentionally flattened and proportions are playfully distorted. The composition prioritises mood and harmony over strict realism, resulting in a piece that feels both nostalgic and quietly poetic.

    The colour palette is soft yet expressive, dominated by warm peach, buttery yellow, and muted pastels, contrasted by the vivid red of the central figure and car. Gentle blues and greens wash through the street and sky, lending a calm, airy atmosphere. The rainbow detail introduces a whimsical note, enhancing the painting’s sense of quiet optimism.

    Brushstrokes are loose and visible, applied with a light, confident hand. There is a softness to the layering, with slightly dry, textured strokes that allow underlying tones to peek through. This lends the surface a tactile quality and reinforces the painting’s handmade, intimate character.

    This oil on board is present in a simple yet elegant wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffing to the top right corner

  • Weight of Yellow

    Weight of Yellow

    £855

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century abstract composition that centres around a loosely defined vessel form, its presence suggested through layered gestures rather than strict delineation, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    The composition feels both grounded and fluid: anchored by a bold yellow mass in the lower centre, which evokes the solidity of a bowl or container, while surrounding shapes drift and dissolve into one another with a sense of quiet movement. Above, softened circular forms: one pale, one touched with a vivid yellow hint at light sources or distant suns, lending the work a subtle, atmospheric rhythm.

    The style is distinctly painterly and intuitive, characteristic of mid-century abstraction where form emerges through process. The artist embraces a balance between control and spontaneity, allowing the composition to unfold organically across the canvas. There is a sculptural quality to the arrangement, with layered planes and overlapping gestures creating depth without relying on perspective.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained yet expressive. Earthy browns, warm beige, and muted greys form the backbone of the piece, complemented by passages of soft, powdery blue and lifted by striking accents of saturated yellow. These brighter notes punctuate the composition, drawing the eye and energising the otherwise calm tonal field.

    Brushwork is confident and varied: broad, sweeping strokes sit alongside more deliberate, textured applications of paint. Areas of visible bristle marks reveal the artist’s hand, while thicker impasto sections add weight and tactility. Edges are often blurred or scraped back, suggesting revision and movement, and reinforcing the sense that the painting is as much about process as it is about form.

    This oil on canvas is present in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Long Turn Home

    The Long Turn Home

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric and expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a solitary figure walking along a gently winding path bordered by a stand of tall dark trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the distance, low rolling hills dissolve into a hazy horizon beneath a softly shifting sky, lending the scene a contemplative, almost introspective mood. The lone figure, rendered with minimal detail, becomes a quiet focal point – suggesting themes of solitude, journey, and reflection.

    Stylistically, the painting leans toward an expressive, semi-abstract interpretation of the landscape. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise realism. The trees to the right are articulated with bold, vertical strokes, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the softer, diffused background.

    The colour palette is cool and restrained, dominated by layered greens, deep forest tones, and muted blue-greys. Subtle touches of pale sky blue and soft white break through the cloud cover, while earthy undertones ground the composition. Occasional dabs of lighter pigment across the foreground add texture and visual rhythm.

    Brushwork is confident and gestural throughout: broad, sweeping strokes shape the land and sky, while more assertive, almost calligraphic lines define the trees and path. The paint is applied with varying thickness, creating a tactile surface that enhances the painting’s immediacy and emotional depth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a silver painted wood frame with an inner cream border. The painted surface shows areas of craquelure, most notably within the darker black passages, where the paint layer appears slightly fragile. Otherwise, it is in good vintage condition.

  • Twilight Path

    Twilight Path

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a hushed forest scene at nightfall, where fading light settles softly over a quiet woodland, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a gently defined and inviting path emerges, guiding the eye inward and creating a subtle sense of movement through the stillness.

    Rendered in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist distils the forest into softened bands and gestural marks. Trees are suggested rather than defined, dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elusive, with the path offering structure amid the increasingly shadowed landscape.

    The colour palette leans into cool, moody tones: muted greens, deepened aquas, smoky greys, and chalky whites – layered to evoke the last traces of light filtering through the trees. Darker, almost inky accents anchor the composition, hinting at tree trunks and the quiet density of the forest as it recedes into shadow.

    Brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, horizontal strokes shape the landscape and the path, while thicker, textured applications of paint add weight and tactility in the foreground. More translucent layers in the background soften the scene, allowing forms to blur gently into one another, enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a refined, light-toned wood frame featuring a gently stepped profile and a contrasting black inset which creates a striking visual border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Geometric Collage in Blues

    Geometric Collage in Blues

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the heart of the artwork is a carefully balanced four-part composition, divided into squares, each containing a small vertical pairing of rectangular blocks. These central forms: composed of soft off-white, deep indigo, slate grey, and muted charcoal – echo one another subtly across the surface, creating a quiet rhythm and sense of repetition. The woven textures of the salvaged book cloth are beautifully visible within each element, offering gentle variation and tactility against the broader fields of colour.

    The background is composed of softly shifting panels of various blues, each section bearing the marks of time through delicate abrasions, faint horizontal striations, and areas of tonal wear. Vertical and horizontal seams subtly divide the surface, reinforcing the constructed, assemblage nature of the work while adding depth and structure.

    The composition feels contemplative and architectural: where repetition, balance, and materiality come together in a restrained yet deeply textural expression. There is a quiet dialogue between the squares, each echoing the other while retaining its own subtle tonal identity.

    The artwork is presented in a warm-toned solid wood float frame with a rich grain that complements the cooler hues of the piece. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre is a compact vertical block of four rectangles, arranged in a tight grid. The arrangement feels deliberate and balanced, like a coded visual fragment.

    The surface surrounding this central form is rich with the history of its previous life. Dark, charcoal-toned book covers dominate the background, with horizontal scuffs, striations, and fading that reveal years of handling and wear. A visible seam across the middle hints at the joining of separate covers, reinforcing the idea of reconstruction.

    The binding cloth used in the coloured rectangles subtly contrasts with the rougher ground. The crisp geometry of the central block stands in tension with the imperfect, weathered field.

    Boyd distills their physical essence into a minimal composition that speaks of time, use, and renewal—less about what was written, and more about what remains.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    This Dave Boyd work is a refined meditation on balance, material memory, and geometry, crafted from objects that once held stories, now transformed into something more abstract and contemplative.

    In it we have a vertical alignment of four softly rendered circles anchors the piece, each one subtly distinct in tone. hey sit in perfect balance, like a totemic sequence or visual rhythm, guiding the eye gently downward.

    The background is richly textured. Faded ochres, worn browns, and chalky whites create a weathered, timeworn surface. Horizontal marks and abrasions hint at handling, storage, and history. A visible seam across the middle quietly reveals its constructed, layered origin.

    You can almost feel the past life of the materials which have been handled, read, discarded, and reimagined.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

    Geometric Collage in Taupe

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre sits a small vertical grid of coloured squares, arranged in a neat, almost architectural column. Each block (muted red, ochre, green, teal, grey, and off-white) carefully chosen, like a restrained palette study. Its symmetry contrasts with the more irregular, weathered background.

    The surrounding field is a rich, earthy expanse, layered with horizontal marks, striations, and subtle tonal shifts. There’s a tension between precision (the grid) and imperfection (the background).

    Colour, material, and space are reduced to essentials. It invites slow looking, rewarding attention with subtle shifts in tone and texture rather than bold statements.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Still Life with Blue Chair (Reserved)

    Still Life with Blue Chair (Reserved)

    £595

    Available

    Reserved until 16 May 2026. Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking still life composition that centres on a blue wooden chair rendered with bold clarity, its angular structure anchoring the scene, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    Resting on the seat are three rounded green fruits, their placement both casual and deliberate. Behind, a partially opened window shutter introduces a sense of space and atmosphere, suggesting filtered daylight entering an otherwise enclosed interior.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and strong outlines. Perspective is intentionally flattened, lending the composition a decorative, almost architectural quality. The artist prioritises balance and rhythm over realism, allowing shapes and colour blocks to guide the eye.

    The colour palette is vibrant yet harmonious: dominated by saturated blues that define the chair and surrounding space, contrasted with lively greens and yellow undertones in the fruit and background. Accents of warm terracotta and muted mauve in the floor add depth and visual grounding.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Areas of layered paint and subtle tonal variation give the surface a tactile quality, while darker outlines enhance definition and structure. The result is a composition that feels both playful and composed, capturing a quiet, contemplative interior moment.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 82 x 53 cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • Circle of Light

    Circle of Light

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An endearing and uplifting mid-century figurative landscape that captures a moment of shared presence, as a group of simplified figures stand hand-in-hand and appear to be dancing in a circular formation, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre, a vivid burst of yellow – suggestive of sheaves of wheat or a glowing harvest bundle – anchors the composition, radiating warmth. Above, small birds in flight animate the sky, adding a sense of movement and freedom.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist, almost naïve style, the figures are intentionally reduced to essential forms. The colour palette is bold and expressive: saturated yellows and greens dominate the foreground, conveying warmth and vitality, while deep blues and teals in the sky and garments provide a cooling counterbalance. Subtle pink tones for the faces introduce a human softness, gently breaking the graphic simplicity.

    Brushwork is loose and confident, with visible, sweeping strokes that give the painting a tactile, almost rhythmic quality. The layering of paint – particularly in the sky and fields – adds depth and movement, while the central yellow form is applied more thickly, enhancing its visual prominence.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary warm, natural wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Bottles in Blue Geometry

    Bottles in Blue Geometry

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined and thoughtfully composed mid-century still life composition in a cubist style that presents two elongated bottles set against a layered arrangement of abstracted forms, executed in oil onto board.

    The objects are simplified and slightly flattened, outlined with confident dark contours that give them a sculptural presence. Around them, angular planes and overlapping shapes create a quiet architectural backdrop, lending structure and balance to the composition while subtly shifting the sense of depth.

    Executed in a modernist style with cubist leanings, the work embraces reduction and clarity over realism. The interplay between object and space feels deliberate and contemplative, with negative space used just as thoughtfully as the painted forms themselves. There is a calm stillness to the arrangement, where everyday objects are elevated into a study of form, tone, and balance.

    The colour palette is harmoniously restrained, dominated by cool blues, soft aquas, and muted teal tones, punctuated by gentle off-whites and deeper navy accents. These hues create a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere, while subtle tonal variations add dimension without disrupting the overall serenity.

    This oil on board is presented in a elegant frame with a warm, muted gold tone finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Geometric Collage with 4 Circles

    Geometric Collage with 4 Circles

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

    The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang, Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

  • The Joyful Passage

    The Joyful Passage

    £805

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and animated mid century street scene composition, painted in oil in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The scene unfolds beneath a sweeping sky, where a cluster of buildings with striking red rooftops anchors the composition. In the foreground, a lively crowd moves in rhythmic procession: figures walking, conversing, and carrying bags – evoking the energy of a bustling moment. Tall, slender trees punctuate the scene, their sparse, expressive branches adding vertical tension against the horizontal flow of people and architecture.

    Executed in an expressive, naïve style with strong Fauvist influences, the painting embraces bold colour, simplified form, and an intuitive, energetic handling of paint. Figures are loosely defined with elongated limbs and minimal facial detail, giving precedence to movement and atmosphere over realism. The perspective is flattened, with elements stacked and layered in a playful, intuitive manner.

    The colour palette is bold and uplifting, dominated by sky blues, leafy greens, warm ochres, and vivid reds that draw the eye across the rooftops and through the crowd. These colours are applied with a sense of immediacy, often juxtaposed in unexpected yet harmonious combinations that enhance the painting’s joyful, almost celebratory tone.

    Brushstrokes are energetic and unrefined, with visible, gestural marks that bring a sense of motion and life to the composition. Outlines in darker tones loosely define forms, while dabs and sweeps of paint suggest figures and foliage with an expressive touch. The overall effect is one of warmth and vitality: a charming snapshot of everyday life rendered with personality and flair.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a warm-toned wood frame with a richly grained finish and an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • A Gentle Path

    A Gentle Path

    £395

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a winding path as it cuts through softly rolling fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Small yet impactful, the composition is calm and inviting, with the path acting as a quiet guide through the scene, drawing the eye into a softly rendered horizon.

    The trees, though delicately understated, are rendered in a hazy, atmospheric manner that allows their forms to dissolve slightly into the surrounding landscape. This subtle treatment gives the impression of early morning mist or diffused evening light, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood.

    Executed in a semi-impressionistic style, the artist balances structure with looseness. The foreground is built with expressive, textured brushstrokes that suggest grasses and earth, while the midground and background soften into more blended, almost dreamlike passages. This contrast creates a gentle depth without disrupting the overall stillness.

    The palette is muted and harmonious, featuring soft greens, mossy undertones, warm ochres, and pale neutrals, with cooler grey-blues subtly woven throughout. The sky is light and diffused, lending a quiet luminosity that bathes the landscape in a gentle glow.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a simple yet elegant silver-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Quiet Mooring

    Quiet Mooring

    £755

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm mid-century coastal painting that captures a tranquil moment along the sunlit shores of Spain’s Costa Brava, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

    At its centre rests a modest wooden boat, gently anchored in still, shallow waters, its form simplified yet full of quiet presence. The surrounding landscape is reduced to broad planes—suggesting sand, sea, and distant shoreline – imbuing the scene with a sense of calm, timeless pause.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition leans into minimalism and balance. Perspective is subtly flattened, with forms outlined softly rather than defined through strict realism, allowing the viewer to focus on mood over detail. There is a quiet intimacy to the piece, as though capturing a fleeting, solitary moment by the coast.

    The colour palette is warm and harmonious: muted tan, sandy beiges, and soft terracotta tones dominate the boat, while gentle and pale blues evoke the Mediterranean waters and sky. These tones are slightly desaturated, lending the work a sun-faded, nostalgic quality.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive yet controlled, with visible texture adding depth without overwhelming the simplicity of the composition. The paint is applied in soft, layered passages, allowing subtle tonal variations to emerge and giving the surface a quietly tactile quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame that is finished in a warm, muted gold tone with soft patina, it carries a slightly aged character that enhances the painting’s nostalgic feel. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Red Table

    The Red Table

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intimate mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The interior is centred on a small, round table draped in a vivid red cloth, paired with a slender blue chair. The setting is intimate and pared back, with a turquoise door to the left introducing depth and structure, while a small, minimally rendered painting hangs on the wall behind. A simple vase of flowers and a small vessel rest atop the table, suggesting a moment of pause, as if the space has just been left or is waiting to be occupied.

    Rendered in a mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplified forms and flattened perspective. The artist has distilled the interior into essential geometric shapes and colour blocks, creating a balance between representation and abstraction. There is a strong decorative sensibility at play, with careful attention to spatial relationships and visual rhythm rather than strict realism.

    The palette is warm yet strikingly balanced. The deep red of the tablecloth anchors the composition, contrasted beautifully by the cool turquoise of the door and the soft blue of the chair. Earthy brown tones in the floor add warmth, while the walls are painted in muted creams and gentle lilacs, lending a soft, atmospheric backdrop.

    The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible, painterly strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Broader strokes define the walls and floor, while slightly more controlled applications shape the furniture and objects. Edges are softened rather than sharply delineated, enhancing the painting’s calm, contemplative mood.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a charming wooden frame with multiple profiles, finished in warm, layered tones that beautifully complement the palette of the painting. The painting is in good condition overall – there is some craquelure present that is consistent with age, however the paint layer is in stable and does not detract from the overall appearance of the work.

  • Where Houses Gather

    Where Houses Gather

    £825

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century composition that depicts a cluster of closely nestled houses as their angular rooftops form a rhythmic patchwork against a soft open sky, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Wilhelm Wik (1897-1987), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, to name a few.

    The scene appears gently elevated, allowing the viewer to look across the rooftops toward a calm, pale horizon. A small domed structure rises subtly among the buildings, adding a sense of place and quiet architectural character.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and flattened perspective. The houses are reduced to bold geometric shapes, outlined with confident, dark lines that lend structure and clarity to the composition. There is a deliberate absence of fine detail, allowing the interplay of shape and colour to take centre stage.

    The colour palette is warm yet restrained: soft creams and sandy tones form the buildings, while pops of terracotta and burnt orange on the rooftops introduce gentle contrast. These are balanced by deep, expressive greens in the foreground foliage, painted in loose, gestural strokes that bring movement and texture to the lower edge of the scene. The sky is rendered in a calm, neutral wash, enhancing the overall sense of stillness and light.

    Brushwork varies across the surface: the architecture is treated with flatter, more controlled applications of paint, while the greenery is handled with thicker, more fluid strokes, creating a pleasing tension between order and spontaneity.

    This oil on board is presented in a characterful wooden frame which features a rustic wood finish with visible grain and a stepped gilt inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some paint loss to the gilded section of the frame, consistent with age, however this does not detract from its overall appearance or charm.

  • Agnes

    Agnes

    £625

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A thoughtful mid-century figurative portrait that captures a female figure in a moment of inward reflection,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Positioned slightly off-centre, she gazes softly away from the viewer, her expression calm yet contemplative. There is a sense of emotional distance – she feels present, but absorbed in her own interior world. The simplicity of her attire and the absence of narrative detail draw attention to her face and psychological presence, making the portrait feel intimate and introspective rather than formal.

    Executed in a loose, painterly mid-century style, the work leans toward modernist portraiture with subtle expressionist undertones. The artist prioritises mood and character over strict realism, allowing forms to soften and dissolve at the edges. There’s a gentle flattening of space, with the background treated as an atmospheric field rather than a defined setting, enhancing the subject’s quiet isolation.

    A muted, harmonious palette dominates the composition – soft sage greens, warm beiges, and gentle creams create a subdued backdrop. The skin tones are delicately layered with hints of pink and grey, lending the face a lived-in softness. A subtle red accent along the neckline introduces a quiet point of contrast, drawing the eye without disrupting the overall calm.

    The brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible, layered strokes that give the surface a tactile quality. The face is built up with short, blended strokes, creating a soft modelling of light and form, while the background is more gestural, with broader, sweeping applications of paint. This contrast between controlled and freer brushwork adds depth and reinforces the emotional tone – grounded yet quietly unsettled.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary silver frame. The painting has some small areas of surface paint loss as shown in the photos. The frame has some minor losses and scuffs but is very stable overall.

  • Old Town Reverie

    Old Town Reverie

    £475

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A contemplative and nostalgic 20th century street scene composition that captures a quiet yet animated urban square, where figures drift through a softened architectural landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

    Tall, weathered buildings rise in layered formation, their facades dissolving into one another. In the foreground, loosely rendered figures – some in conversation, others moving independently – animate the space with a gentle rhythm, giving the composition a sense of everyday life observed from a distance.

    The style leans toward a semi-abstract impressionism, where structure and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The artist has employed a restrained palette of light yellows, muted creams, soft greys, and earthy browns, punctuated by occasional darker accents in the figures. These tones create a hazy, almost nostalgic ambiance, as if the scene is filtered through memory or mist.

    Brushwork is expressive and fluid, with vertical strokes elongating the buildings and lending them a sense of quiet monumentality. The figures are sketched with minimal, gestural marks – suggestive rather than defined – allowing the viewer to interpret their presence and movement. Areas of paint appear scraped back or layered thinly, adding texture and depth, while softer washes create an atmospheric, almost ethereal ground.

    Overall, the painting balances structure and abstraction beautifully, offering a poetic interpretation of urban life – less about a specific place, and more about the feeling of being within it.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame that features a gently stepped profile with soft ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

    Size: 79 x 66.5 cm (including frame)

  • Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion

    Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet captivating mid-century abstract triptych that evokes the quiet power and rhythm of water in motion, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Across the three panels, fluid, sculptural forms emerge and dissolve – suggesting cresting waves, shifting currents, or even fleeting natural phenomena captured mid-transformation. Each composition feels both connected and self-contained, inviting the viewer to move from one moment of motion to the next.

    Rendered in a restrained, atmospheric palette of soft greys, silvery whites, and muted blue undertones, the works exude a sense of calm and introspection. Subtle tonal gradations in the background create depth and horizon-like expanses, while the central forms introduce tension and movement.

    The artist’s use of thick, impasto brushwork is particularly compelling – paint is applied with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, creating ridges and folds that catch the light. These gestural strokes give the impression of energy frozen in time, with each mark feeling deliberate yet instinctive. The contrast between the smooth, blended grounds and the dynamic, textural forms enhances the sense of movement across the series.

    Together, the three paintings form a cohesive visual narrative – an exploration of flow, balance, and the ephemeral beauty of natural forces – making this a captivating and contemplative set that rewards close viewing.

    These 3 oils are each housed in a  complementary silver painted wood frame. The paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have some light scuffing present.
