  • On the Fields

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very confidently executed modernist composition in oil, framed and ready to hang.

    Rich and saturated colours fill the canvas, composed in rectangular blocks of contrasting colours. A group of figures are seen seated in the field, presumably taking a rest from a hard day’s work in the field. Both the landscape as well as the figures have been reduced to an outline of forms – the artist has focused on the formal qualities of the scene, emphasising form, colour, shape and line over any realistic details. The result of this is an almost completely abstract composition in non realistic colours that captures the imagination.

    This excellent painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that illuminates the painting beautifully. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Riverbank

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A restful and well-balanced mid-century nature landscape composition of a river bank, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a range of pastel colours – lighter shades filling the top half depicting the leaves and the sky, and slightly darker tones filling the bottom half depicting the river bank and surrounding pasture. There is a wonderful harmony in the colours and it imbues the overall work with a soothing effect.

    Broad and expressive brushstrokes have been applied in a quick and confident manner, and the artist has wonderfully captured the reflections of the trees on the water surface.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame that has a wide profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Strokes (Very Large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK shipping only.

    Measuring over 1.2metres in heights is this sizeable mid century abstract oil composition, painted in 1956.

    Large swathes of brushstrokes in planes of juxtaposing colour create a composition full of depth and texture. The angle of the planes of colour seem to make the painting recede inwards, creating an almost tunnel like effect towards the centre of the composition. The artist has used a wide brush, leaving the strokes of the brush on the canvas visible. We get a sense of the artist moving his arms as he swashes colour over the canvas in a considered way, bring careful to give each colour its space and prominence.

    The large size, vivid colour palette and textural effect would make this painting a statement piece in any interior.

    This mid century painting is housed in a very well suited frame. The painting has some light craquelure to its surface (commensurate with age and the thickness of the paint) but it is stable overall. The frame is also in good vintage condition.

    A very well executed modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1978.

    This charming oil study depicts vast farmland with cottages on the horizon. The artist captures the characteristic cloudy skies of the British countryside and matches it with the rich browns of the ploughed fields. The painting has a wonderful textural quality that not only adds depth to the painting but also captures the earthy and organic character of the natural landscape.

    The painting is housed in a distressed silver frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

    A large post-impressionist modernist style winterscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas in 1941.

    In this enchanting painting, rows of houses and trees are depicted on snow-filled streets on a winter’s day.

    Post-impressionist in style, there is a strong emphasis on geometric form, bold colours and distinctive brushstrokes.

    The artist has used a rich and vivid colour palette including shades of red, orange and green that imbue the painting with a lively and festive feel. The expressive and short brushstrokes add a lovely textural quality to the painting.

    This painting in housed in a very sturdy wood frame with visible grains, that pairs wonderfully with it. There are some areas of paint loss across the painting (particularly 4 spots), commensurate with its age, but the work is in it is good vintage condition overall.

  • Cadence

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A very large and distinctive mid century abstract oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The artist has not shied away from a dark and heavy palette, applying long and textured brushstrokes in varying shades of black, grey, and brown. The piece is filled with emotion – there is a sense of heaviness and moodiness to it which is just brilliant. We get a sense that the artist is painting in a cathartic manner, expressing his inner feelings onto the canvas. The way some areas of the paint has been allowed to drip down is particularly poignant too.

    This wonderful oil on canvas is housed in a simple wood frame.  There is some light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition overall.

  • Emergence

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating abstract work of art that explores the flow of brushstrokes and colours in arrested motion.

    Swift, confident and fluid strokes and splashes of paint fill the canvas with energy, giving it a wonderful texture and three-dimensional feel. Although there is a distinct sense of spontaneity in the overall composition,  the application has been executed in a controlled and intentional manner.

  • Figure in Pastel

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed nude figure study in pastel, framed behind glass.

    This nude study captures the female form elegantly and expressively. The artist has used long, narrow lines to outline the form, and used hatching to capture the three dimensionality of the  form of the body, giving the drawing a sculptural quality. A different technique has been used to fill in the background – it seems the artist has used the pastel to colour over a textured surface to create a dappled effect.

    The pastel has been beautifully framed in a wood and gilt frame, and is set behind glass to protect the vulnerability of the medium. Both pastel and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Figures at a Pier

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist composition in oil, painted in 1957 by well known artist Ivar Morsing.

    In typical Morsing style, he has chosen to focus on formal qualities of line, shape, form and colour. He creates beautiful harmony on the canvas, applying contrasting blocks of saturated colour to the surface, illustrating his cubist influences which he is most known for. Strong, rich, and vivid colours of orange, red and white are set against a sky blue. The chosen palette and the was he has placed the complementary colours gives each shade and tone its own prominence.

    This stunning oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there are some age spots and scuffs on the frame.

  • Indefinite

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and well-executed abstract composition, executed in oil in 1960.

    With its non-representational and spontaneous appearance, the work is composed with elements of colour, shape, line and form.

    Painterly fluid lines, swift brushstrokes and dabs as well as geometric and amorphous shapes have been repurposed to form this striking cohesive work of art.

    Using an array of warm and inviting earth-tone colours of brown, orange and red, the artist has skilfully distributed and layered the lighter and darker tones – making the overall work very well-balanced.

    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.

    This oil on board is housed in a charcoal grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age) on the top left of the painting, as well as a scuff in the middle. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. As with the frame, there are minor scuffs and a small area of paint loss on the bottom left, as shown in the images.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • Monument

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking scene of two figures in a continental town square surrounded by landmarks, painted in oil onto board. This painting has been worked in the ‘post impressionist’ style,  characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork. We see loose dabs of the brush, painted in non-naturalistic colours. The artist has chosen not to paint the town scene as it appears in reality, but has instead imbued with an energy, light, and dynamism that shows off his or her emotional connection with the townscape. The town appears quiet, with only two figures visible, but the artist has painted the architecture surrounding them with such vigour that they carry life and energy of their own.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in an original gilt frame with an inner linen and white border. The frame has some marks and scuffs (as seen in the photos)

  • Ruby Cottage

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1937.

    The artist has used a wonderfully earthy and rich colour palette to depict this rural landscape, punctuated by rusty red cottages. A group of trees focus the eye to the centre of the picture, while melting snow on the ground encourages our yes to move around the painting and discover further details.  Expressive brushstrokes and a coarse texture add to the earthiness of the picture, and skilfully convey the character of the landscape and its rustic nature.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century distressed frame, with gilt outlining. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Lemons

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century still life composition in oil, painted in 1962.

    This still life features a beautifully textured surface, with the artist using very thickly applied layers of paint to create areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. In this composition, we are able to discern a group of lemons and limes in a white bowl, but the artist has left out realistic detailing, focusing instead on the texture and colour of the objects and background. There is a deliciousness and tactility to the creaminess of the thick paint, almost as if the artist is using the medium of paint itself to capture taste and texture of the pictured fruit.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Seated in Orange

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A small but very striking and expressive portrait in oil, painted on board and mounted within a frame.

    The artist has used a vivid combination of orange, blue and red to compose this scene of a casually seated female figure. The artist has left out the figure’s facial details, focusing instead on the form of the body, and using broad and gestural brushstrokes to create the image. There is a timelessness to the piece that would make it very versatile for any interior. It’s small size would make it a good addition to a gallery wall.

    The painting is housed in a light box frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a mark to the lower right corner of the frame, as shown in photos.

  • Smile

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully fun and playful original artist’s proof lithograph, signed by Leif Sylvester and inscribed ‘E.A’ (épreuve d’artiste) to the bottom.

    An artist proof print has a connection to limited edition prints. These prints are used as a test print by the artist and kept for their personal collection. Traditionally the artist would take the proof straight off the printing press and amend the colours and quality. Then, once the artist was happy with the proof, they would then proceed with the limited edition print.

    Artist Proofs are generally valued higher than other prints in the edition, due to the rarity and small quantity of them. Oftentimes the Artist Proof are altered from the final edition, creating a uniqueness to them that is very desirable.

    This lithograph is housed behind glass in a complementary silver frame. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A rich and vivid mid century modernist abstract abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this typically mid century piece, orange, purple and black forms interlock and intertwine, creating a rhythmic pattern that is very satisfying to look at. The middle section of the composition has a vertical line of brown, splitting the composition into two halves.

    This large abstract oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame which suits the piece well and illuminates it. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is a small chip to the top right of the frame, as shown in close ups, but it does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century modernist portrait in charcoal and pastel, drawn in 1955.

    The artist has worked boldly and confidently with his medium (charcoal and pastel), to create this striking image of a face. Hard, angular lines in deep black contrast against the pops of colour on the figure’s features. The portrait is set against a charcoal background with visible drawing marks, drawing attention to the medium and the hand drawn nature of the piece.

    This wonderful modernist portrait is framed behind glass, and is housed in a brown frame with visible grain that suits the piece perfectly. Please note that the second photo (where you can see us in the picture if you look closely!) is there to show the visibility of the glass.

  • Autumn Wood (Very Large)

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

    A very large and very well executed mid century semi-abstract oil composition, painted onto board.

    This very large painting has much to offer. Spanning 1.13metres in length, it oozes details. Thick and gestural brush strokes of paint in a myriad of autumnal colours encourage our eyes to slowly peel away each layer, taking us on a journey into the depths of this wooded landscape.

    We love how the bottom half of the composition is abstract, yet perfectly captures the essence of the natural forest and its floor teeming with fallen leaves and wildlife.

    The painting is housed in a really robust distressed frame that has hints of red, green and black, bringing out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some general wear that is in keeping with its overall style.

  • Colour Grid

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A bright and richly coloured abstract painting, framed and ready to hang.

    This painting features a grid -like composition, where the artist has used long sweeping brushstrokes to apply the paint onto the canvas.

    The painting on canvas is housed in a box frame which adds to it more contemporary look. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Yellow Fields

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Rural fields of yellow sit underneath a light blue green sky, stretching out far into the distance. A white farmhouse sits quietly in the centre, punctuating the composition ad giving the layout its balance and harmony. Despite the majority of the composition being painted in yellow, the artist skilfully shows us how just one colour in varying tones and shades can still provide so much depth and interest. We see the broad, expressive brushstrokes marked across the canvas, capturing the movement an dynamism of the natural landscape.

    This striking painting is housed in an equally striking frame, which houses it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Knitting

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and atmospheric mid century oil portrait , painted onto canvas. An elderly lady sits on a chair on a balcony, with a wicker basket by her feet, quietly knitting away. The artist has used a calm, soft colour palette to create this tranquil picture, and distinct and broad brushstrokes give it depth and texture. The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, focusing instead on form, line, shape and colour.

    This oil on board is housed in its original cream and silver frame with an inner fabric lined border, which suits this painting perfectly and really brings out its palette. The painting has an area of craquelure to the top right section, but overall the paint layer is stable. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. Overall it is in good condition. There is a small loss to the upper left corner of the frame (as shown in photos) but again this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting.
