  • Donkey Cart

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Abstract Hillside

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

    Size: 62 x 90.5 cm (including frame)

  • The Footballers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • The Dancer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Pastel Coastal Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

    Size: 69 x 89.5 cm (including frame)

  • Cubist Figures

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Neighbours

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and well-textured modernist composition of a neighbourhood, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This picturesque scene presents a cluster of houses situated on a hilltop, surrounded by shrubs and a white wall. In the foreground of the painting, we can see 2 figures, seemingly in conversation.

    The artist has used a combination of rich and uplifting colours as well as painterly textured brushstrokes to evoke tactility as well as wonderfully capture the liveliness of this neighbourhood.

    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.

  • Gear

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    This emotive painting achieves a wonderful balance in layout as distinct blocks of colour have been thoughtfully laid out across the canvas.

    Using the impasto technique, thick and creamy layers of paint have been applied in an array of multidirectional brushstrokes, forming a raw textural quality to this painting.

    This abstract oil composition will make an easy fit in any interior, and the rich colour palette will add interest and delight to any wall or shelf.

    It is housed in a lovely white-painted distressed frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light wear.

  • The Old Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderful mid century expressionist landscape in oil, painted on to canvas.

    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. There is a wonderful painterly effect to this picture, and we can imagine the artist’s hand and brush moving rhythmically over the canvas.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has minor scuffs. There is a an area of white paint transfer to the lower left edge of the frame (as shown).

  • Against the Light

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Kitty

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    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 Walk in Nature

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    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.

  • Blue Road

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    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.

  • Forest By The Sea

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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)

  • Horseback

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Portrait in Yellow

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist figurative oil portrait by 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 depicts a silhouette of a female figure in yellow clothing, set against a light coloured background.

    The facial features of the figure have been intentionally left out, focusing our appreciation on the qualities of colour, form, shape and brushstrokes.

    Large swathes of rich and vivid colours have been applied to the canvas, creating areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. The artist has also wonderfully layered contrasting colours to reveal  great depth within this striking painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a silver frame with linen border. There is some light craquelure to the lower half of the painting, and an area of paint loss along the lower section, as shown in the close ups. However this paint loss is fairly inconspicuous due to the colour blocking style of the piece.  The frame and inner border have some general age wear and marks.
