A stunning abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. The painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.
Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.
In this piece, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.
Her paintings evolve intuitively to find rather than make the work. She continues to build up and simplify until the composition settles cohesively.
Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
Size: 35.5 x 35.5 cm (including frame)

A timeless and subtle vintage oil portrait of a nude, executed onto board and dated 1943.
The painting depicts a woman seated on a raised brown platform. With her hands placed behind her, it almost seems as though she is balancing herself on it.
Although her facial features are not discernibly painted, there is a sense that she is deep in thought.
This classic oil portrait features painterly and expressive brushstrokes that have been thoughtfully executed. The artist has used a soft and restrained muted palette that reflects the calm, tender mood of the setting.
This oil on board is housed in a distressed frame with a moulded inner border , and the colours pair wonderfully with the painting. The painting has a small area of paint loss to the lower left section by the figure’s hand (as shown in close ups), but the painting and frame are in very good condition otherwise.

SOLD.
A brilliantly painted mid century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.
This artwork depicts a male figure dressed in blue, lying downwards with his hand resting on his cheek, as he reads a book.
The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos as the artist has deconstructed this everyday scene down to geometric forms as well as contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space.
The respective geometric shapes have been defined by black outlines as well as expressive diagonal brushstrokes, which further emphasises each individual form and elevates the painting’s overall uniqueness.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some age wear to the inner border but this is in keeping with its overall style and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.
Size: 36 x 47 cm (including frame)

A simple but very intriguing modernist composition in oil, painted into canvas and dated 1970.
This expressionist painting has transformed what would normally be a mundane object (a chair) into a very striking vision. The empty chair is given pride of place in the forefront of the composition, painted in a bright yellow colour. Set against a whitewashed wall, this contrast again emphasises the chair and its striking yellow. There is also a very interesting juxtaposition between the decorative and regal looking door or window which is adorned with flowers and gilding, next to the simple and functional rustic chair.
This playful painting is set within a simple wood frame which suits it very well. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

A vibrant floral still life in oil, painted in an impressionist manner. Earthy shades of red and orange flowers contrast with the brighter palette of whites and yellow. The flowers sit within a blue-grey vase, which offsets the warmer tones perfectly. The painted is very textured, with areas of impasto where thick paint has been applied.
This beautiful piece is set within a gilt frame with an inner grey border. Painting and frame are in very good vintage condition overall, with only some minor marks to the inner border of the frame which are not obvious enough to detract from the piece.

A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.
This painting emphasises the beauty of still life, where a group of everyday objects that are normally ignored are placed centre stage, forcing us to look and notice their shape, form and colour. Here the artist has juxtaposed contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space. The broad and expressive brushstrokes add an element of tactility to the painting as well. Overall, there is a wonderful luminous and diaphanous quality to the painting.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a cream coloured linen border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
Size: 44 x 53 cm (including frame)

A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.
This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.
What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.
The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An outstanding modernist style composition of a church window, executed in oil onto board.
Depicting four figures in a prayerful gesture, the painting models the appearance of a stained glass window, whereby the overall composition has been segmented into fragments of different shapes and sizes.
Using visible painterly brushstrokes, the artist has painted the blocks in contrasting saturated colours with bold outlines to help create a sense of depth to the painting.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen and gilt window that pairs very well with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A vibrant and expressive mid-century modernist style nature landscape painting, executed in oil in 1961.
The artwork displays a landscape composition of Åmotsdal, a valley and small village in Norway, where 2 houses are depicted in nature with mountains in the background.
The artist has successfully conveyed the lushness and vibrancy of this nature landscape – as rich and saturated colours in green, blue and brown have been applied to the board through the use of expressive and lively brushstrokes that add a nice texture overall.
This oil on board is housed in a well-suited grey frame that has an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are areas of chips and scuffs on the frame, particularly at the bottom (as shown in the images).

A very restful 20th century modernist coastal scene, painted in oil onto canvas in 1987.
The composition depicts a picturesque view of a coastline- with lush greenery on hill surrounded by a calm blue ocean.
The painting demonstrates great depth and width – brought forth by multi-directional broad and painterly brushstrokes that sweep across the painting in an expressive manner, as well as the use of a tranquil colour palette that builds up from left to right, drawing our eyes across, with its richest colours to the right of the composition.
This painting is housed in a dark brown frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has very minor areas of scuffing which do not at all detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A panoramic mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

The artist has used long and expressive brushstrokes that have been gently but confidently applied, capturing the airy and diaphanous quality of the meadow before him. This simple yet very effective composition would make a perfect resting spot for our eyes, and would suit a bedroom or living room area very well.

A charming mid century modernist coastal scene, painted in oil onto board.

A wonderfully painted mid century oil painting of a French townscape, executed in oil.
Depicting a quiet town situated in the hills, the work has been executed in a semi-abstract manner through the use of visible and painterly multi-directional brushstrokes.
There is a haunting beauty and a sense of melancholy in this painting – mainly brought forth from the black tones that contrast strongly against the bold earthy shades.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a wood frame with a linen lining that has seen a loss to the bottom left corner (as shown clearly in the photos).

A large and playful mid century British modernist oil composition of several figures on the metro in Paris, painted onto artist’s board.
The colourful composition has a fun, childlike quality to it that makes it a joy to look at. Although seemingly simple and ‘naive’ at first glace, it is in fact a very well executed painting. The composition and use of colours is perfectly balanced, and very satisfying to look at. Despite the lack of realistic details or colouring, we very quickly understand what we’re looking at. The artist has captured an everyday scene of rush hour on the Metro, but has incorporated a wonderful expressionist style to the piece.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to its edges.

A very restful mid century modernist oil coastalscape composition, painted onto canvas.
A soft palette is combined with punches of darker more vivid colour, applied in broad, expressive brushstrokes that capture the atmosphere of the coastal scape perfectly. There is a lovely sense of movement and light – we can imagine the sound of the wind blowing through the light grass and sand, and soft sound of the waves hitting the shore of the bay. This painting would make such a lovely peaceful spot to rest one’s tired eyes on.
The picture is housed in a linen lined frame with an inner gilt window that illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is some minor scuffing and age toning to frame, commensurate with age.

A large and brilliantly executed modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.
Set against a soothing lighter coloured background, the composition of the painting is punctuated by a group of tall figures in bold and striking colours walking by.
Painted in an abstract manner, the figures have been simplified and abstracted down to geometric shapes, painterly brushstrokes, and rich colours.
Expressive gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist displays and an excellent use of colour. Although working with a limited palette including reds, yellow and orange, he has skilfully applied and layered lighter and darker hues of each colour to create a harmonious, lively and well-balanced painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is in stable condition overall.

A large and very striking mid century modernist semi-abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

This large painting would certainly make a statement piece in any interior.

A moody and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.
Upon first glance, our eyes are drawn to the darker and moody shades on the bottom half of the painting, and it then moves to the lighter muted shades on the top. As we take time to study its form, we can just about discern a house peeking out above a hilly landscape, as nightfall sets.
Expressive, painterly and unrestrained brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist has added a wonderful textural element to focus our attention on the dramatic composition.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with several contrasting windows, efficiently drawing our attention inward towards the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A quirky mid century modernist still life oil composition, painted onto board in 1964.
This still life features odd angles and skewed perspective, asking us to look and look again. The composition carries many little playful details that are fun to explore and discover. Everything about its layout is somewhat stilted and skewed, for example the table sits at an angle where technically everything should slide off it, and the table is not quite rectangular. The shadows of the objects don’t quite fit either. The floor boards that sit below the table are in a different colour at every section, representing the way the light hits the floor differently. The top edge of the window sits at an angle that is not in line with the curtain rod above. Very interestingly, out the window we see a wall that has a arched shape exit where we can see the view of the seascape beyond. There are more details to discover, but all in all this surreal still life carries so many interesting features that are a delight.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a winner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A large and powerful mid century modernist oil composition, painted on board.
This painting is very striking – large flat planes of colour fit together to create this composition of two seated figures on a coastline, with boats and buildings in the distance. The artist has left out all realistic details, focusing instead on the formal qualities such as shape, form and colour. The shapes are all very much rounded, creating a general softness to the piece that makes it very appealing to look at it.
The painting is housed in a wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A very large and very well executed mid century modernist interior composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
Flat planes of colour in a myriad of angles create this very distinctly modernist interior. The traditional method of using perspective to create depth has been intentionally ignored, with the artist focusing instead on using complementary colours and geometric shapes to create a sense of space. The artist has very interestingly concentrated these formal qualities on the surfaces of the interior and its background, but has painted the objects portrayed within the interior in a much more detailed manner. The vase of flowers on the table with the bottles as well a the chair carry a different and more detailed style, which contrasts very well with the more angular shapes of the floor, walls and the view that continues outside.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame and with an inner linen lined border. The painting has some small areas of paint loss, as shown in close ups, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame has some losses to its edges, as shown.
