  • 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.

    Size: 87 x 67 cm (including frame)

  • Holding Together

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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)

    This painting matches perfectly with another piece by the same artist, which you can view here.

    A timeless and subtle vintage oil portrait of a nude, executed onto board and dated 1943.

  • Reading

    Sold

    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.

  • The Yellow Chair

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Crimson

    Sold

    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.

  • Plate with Pansies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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)

  • Triptych

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    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.

  • Say a Little Prayer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • Åmotsdal

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    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.

    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).

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • French Town

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.
