Nude on Couch (Very Large)
£850
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A quirky and heavily textured mid-century figurative composition, painted on oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

The composition offers a captivating glimpse into an interior setting where a nude figure reclines upon a couch, her posture relaxed with one knee raised. The subject’s gaze turns away, caught unaware.

The couch where the figure lays captures our attention. Adorned with a striking floral print motif in shades of green and pink, it adds a dynamic burst of colour against the neutral backdrop.

Beneath the figure, the floor unfolds in a black and white chequered board pattern. An apple with a single bite taken from it rests on the floor, introducing a subtle narrative element.

Overall, it is a very thoughtful and interesting composition, with meticulous attention to detail as well as refined and heavily textured brushstrokes.

Portrait in Sepia
£520
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.

With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture.

The Green Ball
£850
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1966 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have been represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

A group of mostly unidentifiable objects sit on a black and white surface, with one green ball punctuating the centre of the composition. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green in the middle, which draws our eyes to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

This oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very light wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

Size: 66 x 75 cm (including frame)

Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves.
