  • Golden Hour

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully gentle woodland landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas. Tall slender trees in contrasting shades of dark green and amber make up the main composition, yet the artist has made sure not to overcrowd the picture. A soft light falls washes over the painting, creating a warmth that seems to emanate from it. The spaces between the slender trees allow us to see both into the distance, as well as down to the forest floor, where the artist has used an array of colours in a cooler palette to convey a sense of depth. Working in short, soft brushstrokes, the artist has created both areas of flatter well blended colour as well as areas of textured impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud from the surface).

    The painting is housed in a light cream and grey wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Nude Model

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic life drawing in oil, painted on canvas which has then been laid down to board. The artist has managed to capture the complexity of the human body, while keeping to the impressionist style. The curves, lines, and subtle undulations of the female model, as well as her weight, balance and tension have been conveyed through the use of brush and colour.

    This well balanced, vertical composition has been framed beautifully in a silver wood frame. There is some very light craquelure to the figure’s upper torso, but the paint layer is very stable overall. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Pitchers & Flowers

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking yet homely still life in oil, painted in a modernist manner. Bold and distinct brushstrokes, strong outlines and lots of texture make up this wonderful composition.  Thick, creamy layers of oil paint have been applied generously by the artist, giving this painting a real tactility. There is a sense of harmony and balance within the picture – the triangular composition lead our eyes around the picture, each object worthy of attention, set against a rusty green background.  The red apple to the bottom left of the flower pot adds a lovely punctuation to the overall picture.

    The oil on board is in excellent condition. There are two small nicks to the frame (the top left and the far bottom right corner) but this is typical for an original frame of this age, and does not detract from the beauty of the piece.

  • Beach Blue

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This stunning abstract in oil is an excellent example of how simplicity can be beautiful. Splitting the composition horizontally into three separate sections (four if you look closely), the artist has captured the serene panoramic landscape of the ocean and sky. Perhaps you see something entirely different, but that is the beauty of the abstract. Regardless of whether you draw a connection to landscape or seascape or anything else for that matter, it is the qualities of colour here that is of importance. The lower section of cobalt blue draws our eyes in immediately, soaking us up in its richness. As we move our eyes upwards, strokes of darker greys and blacks guide us up into the lighter section of the painting, where sweeping strokes of soft pastel blues and greys carry us and our minds away into somewhere clear and calm.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous light grey frame that has a inner gilt and linen border that really makes the illuminates the painting.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and nicks to the outermost edges upon close inspection, but they are quite minor and certainly do not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

  • The Florist

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bright and playful naïve composition in oil that captured our hearts instantly. Painted in 1984, there is a childlike quality and sincerity to this oil that has been achieved through the use of flattened perspective, thin detailed strokes, as well as a vibrant colour palette. Here a florist stands in the foreground arranging her bouquet, surrounded by beautiful buckets of flowers, as her assistant attends to an interested customer in the background. A row of colourful townhouses and the village hall line the top edge of the canvas, providing a sense of depth and space. The entire picture has been set against a lime green background, which brings the whole piece to life.

    This oil is housed in a simple and modern white frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    A lusciously painted floral still life arrangement of cut flowers in a striking azure blue vase. Areas of creamy and smooth paint contrast beautifully with other areas where the paint has been more coarsely applied – delicate petals and leaves stand out against the rugged rust coloured background. The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife.

    The oil painting is housed in a painted grey and white frame, which complements and brightens the painted picture. Frame and painting are both in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cubist Kitchen

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic modernist still life rendered in oil in a cubist manner. Painted in 1962, the artist has used a vibrant palette and created areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) to create this striking composition. Distinct brushstrokes and bold outlines reminds us of a modernist ethos – the artist is experimenting with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction. The artist has moved away from traditional forms of perspective, and has used blocks and planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth within the picture.

    The painting is housed a a very complementary wood frame with a painted white order. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pastel Harvest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely study in oil pastel depicting two figures gathering crops, with rolling hills and a row of cottage behind them. There is a softness to this picture which the artist has achieved through the use of multiple elements such as the muted colour palette, the soft medium of oil pastel, and the exclusion of any hard angular lines. As a result, there is a wonderful rhythm and flow that has been achieved in this picture.

    The pastel is framed in a triple card mount and a gilt frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Way Home

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sweet painting depicting two figures on a village lane, painted in oil onto board. A very pleasant array of pastel tones has been used to create this scene, and a pink-ish purple hue seems to wash over the painting. Long and wide painterly brushstrokes draw our eyes in towards the painting and onwards to the landscape beyond. Two figures appear to be having a conversation on a country lane, perhaps saying their hellos or goodbyes, we do not know.  There is a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality with this painting, created by a combination of factors including the dreamy colour palette as well as the way in which the figures have been painted. Modernist techniques of creating space within the picture can be seen, such as the use of contrasting planes of colour rather than traditional methods of perspective.

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

  • Intrigue

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A rather unique oil painting on board of a group of figures who appear to be intrigued by something happening outside the window. The painting is framed in a gothic style arch-shaped frame, which mimics the arch window that the figures are peering out of.

    This excitingly unique picture is certainly not something we come across everyday, and both the subject and style of frame peaked our curiosity when we came upon it.

  • Surreal

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This striking oil painting in a typically mid century cubist style and colour palette is reminiscent of the modernist works by artists such as Picasso and Braque. Here a series of objects atop a table have been depicted from multiple view points, resulting in a fragmented and abstracted composition. The artist has broken the objects down into distinct planes and shapes, emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth, while at the same time suggesting their three dimensional forms.

    This oil is housed in its original mid century wood & gilt frame with a linen lined border. The artwork and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Afternoon Rest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic mid century oil on canvas depicting seated farmers. Here the artist has used colour and form to its full extent – traditional perspective has replaced with swathes of contrasting colour to create depth and three dimensionality within the picture. Dark, bold outlines and vibrant saturated colour painted on with visible and distinct brushstrokes form this particularly modernist picture that carries elements of cubism.

    The painting is housed in its original deep profile wood and gilt frame with a linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A very pleasant mid 20th century oil on canvas presenting a magnificent panoramic view of a park and the city.

    The sky is blue, and the air is crisp; as 2 friends are enjoying their picnic in the park whilst admiring the stunning view that overlooks the city.

    The artist has used a vibrant colour palette, especially multiple shades of green, that imbues the work with so much life and vitality. The brushstrokes used are short and broad, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the composition is highly well-balanced – with the area of lush greenery and blue sky having equal visual weight.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. 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.

    The work housed in a robust sage green frame that complements the artwork very well. There are some marks on the frame; and as it is its original frame, its joints are slightly delicate, but nevertheless, holds the painting well.

  • The Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD

    A thoroughly picturesque and atmospheric landscape scene. Presenting a bridge over a water stream cutting through rows of houses and trees, with a stunning mountain view in the background.

    The artist wonderfully captures the setting of the sun, as it bathes the mountains, buildings and river in its warm light,  and warm yellow tinge to the sky.

    Despite the painterly and swift brushstrokes, the painting evokes an overall sense of calm, due to the stillness from the mountains and water stream.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with gilt lining. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Exhale

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This zen winter landscape rendered in a muted palette in oil is both simple and striking.  A snow covered field stretches into the distance, its horizon lined by a row of hazy trees. Mounds of seemingly barren land peak through the thin layer of snow. But barren it is not, merely taking its chance to rest through winter before the busier season of crops begin again. Its ploughed lines extend forward into the distance – here is the earth taking a long, much needed exhalation. A reminder that we all need to take a moment or two to rest, relax and breathe from time to time.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary silver wood frame with hits of red showing through.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    A well-executed modernist style painting of an abstracted interior setting, dated 1951.

    We are able to make out patio doors, a coat hanger with several coats hanging, and an assortment of objects placed on the ground. The artist has intentionally painted the objects in a very abstracted manner, focusing instead on shapes, forms, colours and outlines more than any realistic details.

    Broad and swift brushstrokes have been applied in a multi-directional and confident manner. The artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together to create a textured effect.
