A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
The composition depicts an interior setting where a table laid with objects takes center stage and serves as a focal point. A plate with a fruit sits on its left, and on its right, a bottle and some fruits lay on a white tablecloth strewn across the table. Behind the table, we can also spot a chair, and also what appears to be a window or a painting on the right.
The painting is a masterful display of rich colours, and showcases the artist’s skill in capturing the beauty of everyday objects.
A combination of lightly-textured expressive brushstrokes as well as a range of contrasting hues have been used to paint the objects, highlighting depth and their three-dimensional qualities whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas. The artist has also skilfully managed to capture the shadows of the objects, and we can infer that a light has been on.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame and with an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A small but very charming mid century modernist figurative scene, painted in oil onto canvas in 1977.
Broad, expressive brushstrokes fill the canvas, creating a composition of a figure walking through a garden with houses behind her. The artist has left out the figure’s details, using just the simplicity of his brushstrokes to fill in her form. The scene before us is one that is easy to relate to – taking a walk outside to clear one’s head and have some time alone to think things through.

The painting presents a countryside landscape by a coast, at dusk. A row of houses and some tress line the hilltop in the middle of the painting, and its darker moody shades first capture our attention.

A sky filled with some clouds takes up the top half of the canvas, with a beautiful expanse of blue stretching from one end to the other.
The landscape consisting of lush green grasses and terrain take up a significant portion of the painting, The artist has used short and vertical expressive strokes to execute a mix of earthy colours, conveying a sense of movement and capturing the fleeting nature of the moment.

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.
While working under a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has also incorporated a playful element to the work, creating a visual puzzle for the viewer. Intricate lines, forms, shapes and colour draw our eyes inwards encouraging us to look around this studio and build an awareness of its space and depth. There is a sense of familiarity and informality within the studio that the artist has masterfully conveyed.
The use of the Droste effect, where the artist has created a painting within a painting, creates a riddle for our eyes, beckoning us to figure out where the painting on the easel within the composition ends, and where the studio begins. There is also the incorporation of light and shadow, but the artist has used non realistic colours to communicate this, and has used flat planes of contrasting colours and angles to capture the light coming in through the windows of the studio.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner white slip, which suits the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An outstanding mid-century modernist painting of a street scene, executed in oil onto board.
We are presented with a view of a narrow alleyway passing through towering buildings in a city. Through the use of lines, the artist has skilfully captured linear perspective in this painting to demonstrate depth.
Working with a restrained naturalistic colour palette, contrasting colours have been beautifully layered to capture the raw feel of the building surfaces and evoke tactility.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide-profiled frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of scuffing but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A very charming modernist composition of a cityscape by a waterfront, executed in oil onto canvas.
In this picturesque scene, a man in a donkey cart punctuates the foreground of the painting. They are on a pathway that leads up to a cityscape in the background of the painting, and passing through a strikingly teal coloured water and sky.
The artist has skilfully painted the cityscape in a semi-abstract manner, reducing it down to blocks of contrasting muted shades with bold outlines. The combination of short and expressive brushstrokes juxtaposed against longer and smoother strokes adds character to the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is some ageing to the frame which is completely in keeping with its style.

A large and expressive abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.
Although its subject matter appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that a hilly nature landscape with trees is the source of inspiration.
A dance of muted colours fill the canvas – with lighter shades of beige, pink and grey contrasting harmoniously against brighter shades of green and brown. The swift and expressive brushstrokes add a dynamic touch to the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wide profile frame with an outer linen border. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully executed semi-abstract modernist figurative composition, painted in oil onto board.
Simple yet effective in its composition, the painting depicts 3 figures engaging in a game of football. The artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details and instead, has reconstructed the figures down using flat blocks of contrasting colours to demonstrate form and depth.
The rich and striking colours of the figures in orange, red, white and black contrast against a beautiful background that has an effective colour gradient from light green to blue shades.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with black outlines. There is some paint loss to the outermost edges of the painting (due to the frame), as shown in close ups, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some wear and scuffing, as shown in photos.

A distinctly modernist oil portrait of an African female figure in tribal dress, painted in 1959.
Deep and rich planes of colours fill the canvas, with angular forms and distinct lines building up into a semi abstract portrait. We see the figure in side profile, arms and legs in the midst of movement. The artist teases our eye – we are unable to discern where her dress and legs end, and where the background begins. Angled planes of white surrounding the figure illuminate her upper body, skilfully narrowing our eyes towards the main figure, before then dispersing as the body and background become indistinguishable.
The surface of the painting has also been coated with a layer of varnish. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork. Do not that some glare is present in the photographs.
This oil on board is housed in a wood frame that pairs perfectly with the painting. There are areas of light craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but is in good vintage condition overall.

A large and visually striking mid-century oil composition, that beautifully captures the essence of Fiskebäckskil, a charming coastal village in Sweden.
Painted in a modernist style, the artwork presents a vibrant landscape with a river meandering through the center of the painting, adorned with an array of boats gently swaying in the water. In the background, a cluster of houses perched on a hill adds a touch of architectural charm.
The painting is characterised by its bold use of a plethora of pastel colours that complement each other and that infuse the painting with liveliness. Short, visible brushstrokes are also evident, creating depth and an expressive quality, enlivening the composition.
This oil on canvas is framed in a gilt frame which suits the painting very well. There is some light scattered craquelure as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is otherwise stable. There is some light wear to the frame but this is in keeping with the style. Overall the appearance is very good.

A very unique mid century portrait, painted in oil onto canvas.
Cubist in nature, the artist has taken an interesting perspective in the portrayal of two figures. Their forms have been flattened, and the painting has a strong focus on line, pattern, colour and angular shapes.
Through the use of distinct and repeated brushstrokes in one particular direction, the artist has used flat angular shapes to represent the different sides of the figures to suggest their three-dimensional structures.
Through the use of a monochromatic palette with unique hints of blue and brown, the tonal gradation from darker moody tones to lighter shades as well as the use of bold outlines also allows the figures to be more three dimensional.
This oil on canvas is housed in a light blue painted distressed frame that suits the painting wonderfully. There is some scattered craquelure present as shown but the paint layer is stable overall. There are minor scuffs to the frame which is in keeping with the style. Overall the painting and frame are both in very good vintage condition.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones. The frame has some small losses which have been painted over in gold, as shown in close ups. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A striking and richly textured mid century abstract modernist composition, executed in oil onto board.

This piece depicts an old stone bridge painted in a gestural, expressionist manner. Broad and distinct brushstrokes sweep over the canvas, creating an almost semi abstract composition.

A poignant and very impressive mid century modernist oil portrait, painted on to canvas and dated 1962.
A female figure sits against the light, on what appears to be a balcony. The artist has skilfully used the sitter’s position and the effect of shadows to his advantage, capturing the silhouette like quality of the figure as a result of the position of the light. An aura appears around her, optically separating her from her surroundings and creating a very striking effect. Deep and vivid colours of dark grey, jewel green and midnight blue contrast beautifully against the light area behind the figure. Despite the use of darker colours, there is a luminous quality to the painting which is testament to the artist’s skill.
The frame in itself is impressive too, and brings out the qualities of the painting beautifully. It has an outer white frame and then a wider linen border, followed by a silver section and then another inner white window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A very large and very striking abstract modernist oil composition of a seated cat, painted onto canvas.
This really well executed semi abstract painting of a cat has a heavy emphasis on line, shape and colour. The artist appears to have used one continues thick black outline to create the shape of the cat, and has added 4 large angular geometrical shapes presumably to signify the patches of colour on the cat. All this is set against a vivid red background, set within a gorgeous gilt frame.
Given the size of the painting, it would make a brilliant statement piece in an interior. The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner grey border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A very large and restful mid century modernist landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
This panoramic view of nature depicts a quiet path running through vast lands, almost inviting the viewer to take a walk. The path leads up to a large tree that punctuates the centre of the painting, and also goes on into the horizon.
Painted in a beautifully vivid colour palette, this well-balanced painting with an equal distribution of sky and land is enriched with a meditative and calming aesthetic.
Flat planes of contrasting colours painted in gentle sweeping brushstrokes help to create a sense of depth and width to the painting. These brushstrokes contrast against the swift and expressive brushstrokes that have been used to paint the path and tree.
Running close to a metre in length, the painting’s size would make it the perfect addition above a bed or sofa.
This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful dark wood frame with an inner gilt and linen window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly done mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
Here the artist has played with colour, form and texture. A row of houses have been reduced to flat coloured shapes, and the artist has used a sgraffito (scratching) technique, probably with the back of his paint brush, to create a textural effect that certainly adds depth and interest to the painting. The artist has used a very soothing, pastel colour palette which makes this painting a wonderful point to rest one’s eyes on.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits its style. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A very striking and lively mid century coastal landscape, executed in oil onto board.
This scenic painting depicts a lush forest landscape by a coast, and it contains post-impressionist qualities as it is characterised by rich saturated colours as well as distinctive brushstrokes.
A range of vivid colours including shades of green, blue and orange have been used, and the gradient of colours transition so seamlessly and also help to create a sense of depth to the painting. In addition to the selection of lively colours, the use of short and brisk expressive brushstrokes enriches the painting as it overflows with energy.
This oil on canvas is housed in an off-white frame with inner gilt border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some losses to the frame (as shown in close ups)

A really fun and striking mid century modernist landscape composition with cubist elements, painted in oil onto canvas.
Here we see four figures on horseback by the coast, with an orange roof house to the left of the picture. The artist has very clearly focused attention on capturing the formal qualities (shape, form and colour) of the landscape and figures. We are made aware of the flatness of the canvas (a typically modernist ethos), as the picture is essentially a range of carefully placed coloured shapes, yet there is a still great depth to the composition. The colours are vibrant and striking, and the composition is balanced and very harmonious.
This oil on canvas is housed in a slim wooden frame, which complements the painting very well. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.
