  • Garden Party

    A wonderful and delightful scene of a garden party.

    Two ladies are sat on a bench, chatting away and drinking tea from a table with a beautiful floral arrangement, as they watch their 2 young daughters play nearby. The artist has composed the scene in an impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

    Short and swift brushstrokes have been used to capture the dappled sunlight shining through the trees and the open field on this warm summer’s day; and the overall composition has calm qualities and distinct elegance to it.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A subtle and sombre composition of a forest landscape, executed in oil in 1962.

    The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a vast snow-covered landscape filled with trees, as they fade into the distance.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette; and together with the use of very fine and light brushstrokes – he has skillfully managed to create a lovely soft and misty effect, as well as a visual calm and stillness throughout the painting.

  • Tempest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons.  The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunningly executed mid century floral still life, painted in oil in a cubist manner. The artist has flattened all the elements, breaking the objects down into distinct planes of colour, where angular forms merge together to give the illusion of depth and three dimensional form. A rich and vibrant colour palette has been used to create this very striking painting.

    This unfussy but brilliantly executed cubist still life is housed in its original mid century light wood frame with an inner linen lined border, which suits the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunshine Road

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully executed and framed mid century landscape scene, painted in oil on to canvas.

    The artist has mastered his medium (oil), applying layers of colour that are luminous and fluid.  There is a distinct sense of playfulness here, where non naturalistic colours have given the landscape scene life, vibrancy and expression. We are able to analyse the application of the paint, layer by layer, giving us a glimpse into the artist’s process.

    The painting is very uniquely framed in its original mid century frame, which has a lovely wide profile. The outer and inner gilt windows are separated by a beautiful deep blue fabric lined border. The frame complements the painting wonderfully and really makes it stand out.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it does not detract from the attractiveness of the painting.

  • Forest Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and emotive mid-century oil landscape painting, that contains elements of fauvism and abstraction.

    In this forest town, rows of houses are presented in the midst of lush greenery; and we can see 2 figures taking a stroll in the foreground.

    The painting not only highlights the artistic beauty of colour and brushstroke, but also acts as a projection of the artist’s inner emotional state.

    There is an explosion of colours in the canvas – with bold and vibrant shades of green, blue, red and yellow dominating and imbuing the painting with liveliness.

    There is also a gestural application of paint – where swift and unrestrained brushstrokes have been executed to create the various forms, adding dynamism to the work.

    This oil on canvas is house in a lovely gilt frame with red undertones. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sorrow

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotional vintage nude oil portrait, painted in 1948. This mid century oil on board is a raw yet beautiful depiction of sadness and sorrow. A sole nude female figure sits with her head between her knees, with nothing around her except for the green stool she is seated on. Her face is concealed by her arm, adding to the idea that  sadness is a human condition experienced by many, and a reminder that we are not alone when we feel fragile or negative

    The painting is housed in a distressed gilt frame with an inner white window, which suits the painting very well. The painting has areas of paint loss and flaking (perhaps an uncanny reflection of the fragility and vulnerability of the portrait in the painting).

    Size: 41.5 x 31 cm (including frame)

  • La Femme

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and visually striking modernist style portrait of a female figure, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.

    This well-balanced portrait comprises both soft and rich pastel shades of blue, purple and beige, evoking both a gentle yet lively touch feel to the painting.

    Upon closer inspection of the canvas, we can see that the layering technique has been used as deep layers of contrasting colours have been applied over one another in a swift yet precise manner to form this beautiful composition.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique fervently, creating a visual feast for the eyes as thick and creamy layers of paint stand proud and form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a thin wood frame. There are some areas of craquelure due to the thickness of the paint, but the paint layer is in very stable condition overall.

  • Golden Light

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and beautifully textured mid century oil, painted onto canvas. This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features thick, bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible). That being said, the artist has managed to strike a find balance between an emotional response and capturing the scene before him and how it looked. The combination of the texture and colouring of this painting makes it a stand out piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey frame, and an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Passing Time

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    With a playful colour palette and a semi abstract composition, this vivid oil on board depicts two figures lazing on the grass, with what appears to be hills/meadows behind them. Both figures appear comfortable and relaxed, with the one on the left holding a flower in her hand, and the figure on the right lying down beside her caught up in his own thoughts. There is a sense of time passing slowly – neither figure is in a rush to leave, and yet it looks like they have been there for a while.

    This painting could almost be a reminder or keepsake of the memories of lockdown, when sitting in a park or field was the only outdoor activity one could do!

    Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist skilfully contorting reality, while using contrasting shades to create depth and a sense of space.

    The soft pastel hues as well as fine and delicate brushstrokes deeply complement one another, imbuing the work with a sense of calm and serenity.

  • Poires

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid century still life painting of pears, painted onto board. A group of 5 pears in varying colours, ranging from greens, to red-orange, to brown and white, are set against a striking blue glass plate. The painting has a distinct depth to it, as a result of the varying textures that the artist has used. Areas of thick impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud of the surface) are evident, and one of the pears has some form of aggregate applied that have created a thick mottled surface to the left pear.

    The frame of the painting is a beauty in itself, and brings out all the textures and colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
