Autumn Meadow
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An energetic mid-century composition that captures a serene autumnal landscape with a bold, expressive hand, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, a textured grey-and-moss-green boulder anchors the scene beside the slender trunk of a tree, its bark rendered in rich browns and greens. Beyond, a sweep of pale golden grass opens into a stand of trees, their foliage glowing in autumnal shades, set against the deep forest green of distant conifers. The sky above is a tapestry of soft sage and buttery yellows, painted in horizontal strokes that evoke a gentle, crisp light.

Executed in a post-impressionist style, the artist has used thick, confident brushstrokes laid in distinct, visible blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic energy and tactile depth. The harmonious yet vibrant palette conveys both the warmth of early autumn and the cool undertones of the season’s approach.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide wooden frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Boats at Rest
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures the quiet charm of a coastal scene, executed in oil onto board.

Two boldly coloured boats – one in deep navy blue, the other in brick red – rest upon warm ochre sands, their strong silhouettes set against whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs. Behind them, rolling green hills meet a vivid band of cobalt sky, while the turquoise edge of the sea curves into view at the foreground.

Executed with a modernist sensibility, the scene is reduced to simplified geometric forms and flat planes of rich colour, outlined in confident black strokes. The palette balances earthy warmth with refreshing coastal blues and greens, evoking both the heat of the sun and the coolness of the sea breeze. The smooth, uniform brushwork enhances the crisp, graphic quality of the composition, lending it a timeless feel.

This oil on board is presented in a wooden frame with a linen inner border that beautifully complements the painting’s bold lines and coastal palette. Both the artwork and frame display some water marks and age-related spots, consistent with their vintage character. The frame also bears some scuffs and some scratches, most notably along the top right edge.

Crimson Barns at Dusk
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant expressionist mid-century landscape captures a rustic rural scene bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun, executed in oil onto board.

A winding path leads the viewer’s eye into the composition, where clusters of red barns and a white farmhouse sit nestled among rolling green fields and deep blue hills. The horizon blazes with golden and amber tones, suggesting the fleeting light of early evening.

Executed in a bold, expressionistic style, the artist has used thick, confident impasto brushstrokes, allowing the paint to stand proud from the surface and convey a palpable sense of texture and movement. Colours are rich and saturated – crimson, emerald, orange, violet, and cobalt – layered to create depth and contrast. The sweeping strokes in the sky and land give the work a sense of energy and immediacy, while the simplified forms evoke a nostalgic charm.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary light wood frame with an inner linen-lining and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks present but is in good condition overall.

Village Courtyard
£750
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that captures the quiet charm of a rustic village scene, executed painted in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of brown and cream houses with sloping, dark roofs are nestle into the landscape, their forms framed by a lush green hillside under a muted blue sky. In the courtyard, a lone figure in a deep blue dress stands near a building, while a line of laundry – vivid in red, blue, and white, sways gently between posts. A slender tree with textured, leafy strokes adds rhythm and movement to the composition, while a burst of orange flowers brightens the earthy tones.

Executed in a modernist style, the work uses simplified, almost blocky architectural forms, contrasting with the more expressive handling of foliage and sky. The palette blends warm ochres, terracottas, and earthy browns with cool greens and blues, creating a balanced, atmospheric harmony. Brushstrokes are confident and varied – broad and textured for buildings and ground, more gestural and layered in the tree and sky – giving the piece a tactile, painterly quality that evokes both structure and spontaneity.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame that has a warm, earthy golden-brown finish that complements the painting’s rustic palette. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some light marks but is in good condition overall.

Green Apples & Golden Pears
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An mid-century modernist still life captures a crisp arrangement of three green apples and two golden pears set against a cool-toned tabletop, executed oil oil onto board and dated 1957.

The fruits are rendered with bold, simplified forms and flat planes of colour, each outlined with confident, dark contours that lend a graphic quality to the composition. The artist plays with angular shadows in deep violet and blue, creating a striking contrast against the pale lavender and white ground, while a touch of light blue along the left edge suggests a shift in surface or perspective.

The palette is vivid and complementary: fresh, luscious greens for the apples, golden browns for the pears, and a cool spectrum of purples and blues in the shadows and background. Broad, visible brushstrokes add texture and vitality, with areas of paint applied in solid, unblended blocks to enhance the modernist aesthetic.

This oil on board is housed in a classic wooden frame with a thin gilt inner edge and set within a wide, grey-coloured mount. The painting shows some very light craquelure to the bottom right, though the paint layer remains stable overall. There is a red mark visible on the left side of the inner frame as shown.

Still Waters, Quiet Shore
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century modernist painting of a coastal scene that presents a serene moment along a quiet shoreline, executed painted in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a solitary woman in a dark attire walks with measured steps, her white apron and pale yellow bundle offering a soft contrast to the muted ground. Beyond her, fishing boats are moored side-by-side, their clean lines and simplified forms rendered in flat tones of white, deep brown, and warm terracotta. A green container and stacks of pale coloured items add subtle colour accents, while the calm expanse of sea and pale blue sky create a tranquil backdrop.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting favours simplified shapes, smooth surfaces, and flat planes of colour over fine detail. The palette is composed of soft greys, muted blues, sandy beiges, and earthy browns, punctuated by touches of yellow and sea green. Brushstrokes are controlled and even, creating clean edges that enhance the scene’s sense of clarity and order.

The work captures not only the visual calm of a coastline but also the quiet rhythm of daily life by the sea, making it an elegant example of mid-century maritime modernism.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined frame with an silver window, which complements the painting beautifully and enhances its calming quality. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good vintage condition overall.

Through the Tunnel
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and compelling mid-century modernist painting that immerses the viewer in the perspective of a train driver at work, executed in oil onto board.

Rendered in bold, confident brushstrokes, this composition captures the dense array of gauges, levers, and dials that surround the central figure – an train driver in a cobalt-blue uniform – who gazes ahead toward a set of diverging tracks leading into a shadowy tunnel.

The style is distinctly modernist, echoing the industrial fascination of the mid-20th century. The artist has used a semi-abstract approach, reducing forms into rhythmic blocks of colour and simplified shapes that emphasise geometry over realism. Rich earthy browns and blacks contrast sharply with vivid blues, reds, and whites, bringing energy and movement to the interior space.

The brushwork is vigorous and expressive, lending texture and dynamism to both the machinery and the tunnel’s receding perspective. This painting celebrates the machinery of modern life while subtly meditating on the solitude and focus of the individual amidst the mechanical world.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks on its linen border as shown but is in good vintage condition otherwise.

Twilight Stream
£485
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A atmospheric composition that captures the quiet drama of a winter landscape yielding to the subtle warmth of dusk setting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1987.

This expressive scene depicts a partially frozen stream meandering through snow-covered banks, framed by dark, leafless trees and a softly glowing sky. The distant treeline is rendered in deep purples, blues and black, while the sky behind it glows with streaks of peach, rose, and apricot – suggesting the final light of day.

The artist has used swift brushstrokes, especially in the forest and sky, that conveys movement and atmosphere. The snowbanks are painted with thick, angular swathes of white, grey, and pale pink, while the water is composed of smoother, horizontal strokes in blues and greys, lending a mirror-like stillness. The overall style merges impressionism with expressionist undertones, balancing realism with emotional depth.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary linen-lined wooden frame with a gilt inner edge. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks on its linen border as well as some small scuffs.

Tide’s Return
£565
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large expressive and atmospheric mid-century modernist coastal landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

This evocative oil painting captures a trio of boats beached on a windswept shore. Three figures stand nearby, anchoring the scene with a quiet human presence. The ocean churns with silvery greys, whites, and muted blues, reflecting the turbulent energy of an overcast day by the sea.

The artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and a subdued, tonal palette dominated by stormy greys, whites, and earthy ochres. The water is rendered with rhythmic horizontal strokes, while the sky and sand are textured with layered impasto, imbuing the painting with a tactile, atmospheric quality. The composition speaks to the raw beauty of nature and the enduring relationship between humans and the sea.

Golden Hour Fields
£585
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and beautifully textured mid-century landscape painting that captures a tranquil rural scene rendered in a distinctly modernist style, and executed in oil onto board.

At the heart of the composition lies a small red barn, nestled among tall trees that punctuate the gentle, undulating terrain. A ribbon of pale grey road leads the viewer’s eye diagonally through the canvas, bisecting fields of green and ochre that suggest cultivated land in late summer.

The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes and a subtly geometric structure to the forms – typical of the mid-century approach to simplifying nature into bold planes and rhythmic patterns. The colour palette is rich but muted, with earthy greens, clay reds, greys, and soft sky blues evoking a nostalgic calm. Layers of thick impasto and visible directional strokes bring energy and movement to the otherwise serene countryside, giving the painting a textured, almost sculptural surface.

This work is a beautiful testament to the artist’s ability to distil a landscape into its essential forms, while still conveying warmth, place, and time.

This oil on board is housed in a unique gilt frame with a red inner border which complements the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

By Candlelight
£415
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A poignant mid-century still life composition that evokes solitude and reflection, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1977.

The painting presents a tall, elegant candlestick with a melting white candle beside a thick, well-worn book. A dark ribbon bookmark drapes softly over the book’s cover. The composition is set against a deep red background and a muted olive-grey surface, creating a rich contrast that draws the viewer into the stillness of the scene.

Executed in a restrained style, the artist has used minimal detailing and flat spatial planes, allowing texture and form to take precedence. The brushstrokes are deliberate and slightly coarse, especially in the candle’s flickering flame and the textured surface of the book’s pages, lending the piece a tactile quality. The muted, earthy palette enhances the painting’s meditative tone.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilded border. The painting has two small areas of paint loss as shown in the close ups. The frame is in good condition.

By the Waterbank
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a tranquil riverside scene with a subtle narrative undertone, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1952.

Two figures rest on the grassy bank of a still canal, their gazes drawn toward a moored boat and a drawbridge in the distance. The composition is balanced by low farm buildings on the left and the soft sprawl of countryside under a cool, clouded sky.

Executed in a loose, expressive style, the brushwork is thick and confident, capturing texture and movement, especially in the turbulent sky and reflective water. The palette is dominated by muted tones: steely blues, sage greens, earthy browns, and soft greys, evoking a moody, contemplative atmosphere. The overall effect is quietly cinematic – a fleeting moment of stillness rendered with emotional restraint and painterly clarity.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs.

Whispers of Winter
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century semi-abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

A snow-covered countryside is rendered with serene restraint. A distant village emerges from the soft whites and ochres of the fields, its clustered rooftops and warm-toned structures punctuating the pale horizon. Subtle hints of rust, terracotta, and charcoal create visual rhythm among the buildings and trees, while the sky is quietly layered in muted lilac and blue.

The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with gestural brushstrokes that suggest rather than define form. The artist has used a refined palette of soft creams, icy blues, and mellow earth tones to conjure the essence of a winter scene without becoming literal. The loose brushwork and atmospheric perspective evoke a feeling of quietude and stillness. The overall impression is one of contemplative calm, where memory and landscape dissolve into one.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful dark grey wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting has some areas of craquelure present, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has minor scuffs at its inner section but is in very good condition overall.

Geometric Collage with 4 Circles
£380
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang, Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

Coastal Descent
£545
Available

Free UK shipping Only.

A very soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures a sun-drenched coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

The viewer is positioned atop a steep stone path that winds between whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and geometric stone facades, descending toward the vivid blue sea. Three figures clad in dark robes – possibly local women carrying items on their heads – add a quiet human rhythm to the otherwise architectural scene.

Rendered in flattened planes and simplified forms, the painting embraces a distinctly modernist approach. The brushwork is thick and confident, with textures and scumbled surfaces lending weight to the cobbled path and sky alike. The palette is subdued yet radiant: earthy browns and clay reds contrast with greys, chalky whites, and Mediterranean blues, invoking both warmth and distance.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. The painting has small areas of craquelure present, but the paint layer is stable and it is in good condition overall.

Sunlit Facades
£440
Available

Free UK, Europe & Singapore Shipping.

A charming mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet village street in Spain, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

The composition is anchored by whitewashed buildings with yellow and terracotta roofs, stacked geometrically against a bright sky. The perspective flattens the scene slightly, lending a graphic, almost cubist sensibility.

Rendered in oil, the artist has used confident, blocky brushstrokes to define shadows and forms. Angular planes and muted earth tones – sage green, charcoal grey, and hints of warm brown—contrast with brilliant whites and a crisp blue sky. The painting captures the play of sunlight on architecture, with simplified details like shuttered windows, steep stone steps, and doors suggested rather than articulated.

There is a distinct sense of rhythm in the repetition of rooftops and telegraph lines that echo across the canvas.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary and well made wood frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A Moment to Herself
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century figurative painting painted in 1955 that captures a contemplative figure absorbed in quiet work, seated near a sunlit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject is cloaked in soft whites and muted yellows. Her back is turned, head bowed slightly, hands poised at a table – offering a moment of private introspection or perhaps diligent creation.

Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition flattens and abstracts the figure and environment into planes of diffused light and soft geometry. The painting evokes a hushed, almost spiritual atmosphere, reinforced by the play of cool blues and dusky purples that mingle with the warm earth tones of the interior.

The artist’s brushwork is loose yet deliberate, layering paint in broad, textural strokes that blur the lines between body and space. The window, though suggested rather than rendered in full detail, casts a cool radiance into the room, lending a structural balance and emotional focal point.

This is a quietly moving piece – imbued with the kind of everyday poetry that typified mid-century figurative painting, where solitude, domesticity, and light become the true subjects.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Bouquet in Afternoon Light
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century still life that captures a delicate bouquet of pink, blue, and white flowers arranged in a rounded ceramic vase, placed atop a bold, geometric tablecloth, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The composition radiates warmth and domestic intimacy, as slanting beams of golden light suggest a late afternoon interior illuminated by natural sunlight filtering through blinds.

The style is clean and structured, yet painterly, with evident brushstrokes that lend a tactile quality to the petals and textiles. The artist has juxtaposed organic floral forms with sharp-angled background planes and a checkered tablecloth, creating a subtle tension between softness and structure.

The colour palette is both earthy and vibrant – olive greens, ochres, and mustard tones set a calm backdrop for the vivid magentas, cobalt blues, and whites of the flowers. The folds of the tablecloth and the reflected light on the vase are rendered with sensitivity to form and texture, giving the work a composed yet inviting atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian-lined frame with an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Dream Reflex
£1,150
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and compelling evocative 1987 figurative interior painting that captures a contemplative moment shared between three figures set within a softly abstracted studio environment, by Finnish postwar artist Marjatta Sarasalo (1930 – 2006).

Sarasalo’s paintings have a very distinctive style, which incorporate line drawings of figures on very textured backgrounds as seen in this piece. Here’s the bodies have been rendered in a delicate, linear style – each figure outlined with expressive black contour lines against a textured, ochre-toned ground.

Their poses are relaxed yet poised: one sits cross-legged in profile, another stands beside her, while the third looms gently in the background, creating a rhythm of human presence that feels both classical and modern.

Executed with a refined palette of warm sand, muted green, pale rose, and chalky white, the composition is harmonised by vertical bands of colour that frame and anchor the figures, suggesting architectural planes or light filtering through curtains. The layered surface – built up with dry, rough brushstrokes and subtle scumbling—imbues the work with a tactile, fresco-like quality.

The painting’s quiet grandeur and subdued palette speak to a modernist sensitivity, where figuration, abstraction, and texture merge in serene dialogue.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small nick to its left edge but is in good condition overall.

Facade in Focus
£495
Available

Free UK Shipping Only

A striking street scene that depicts a neighbourhood with robust, urban buildings rendered in bold linear rhythm, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

The façades are portrayed in a schematic and stylised manner, as strong black outlines segment the pale grey and white surfaces. Set against a smooth grey street with cobblestone detailing, the scene is framed by brick pillars and a wrought-iron fence, suggesting a modest residential area. A lone tree, ablaze with orange and green leaves, punctuates the structured composition and introduces a vivid contrast—perhaps hinting at early autumn.

Executed in a modernist style, the work is characterised by its simplified forms, matte application, and confident brushwork. There is little modulation or blending – colours are laid down decisively, giving the piece a graphic, almost print-like clarity. The result is a striking yet quiet depiction of place, both grounded in reality and filtered through a stylised, personal lens.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs, particularly at its top left corner.

Haystacks by the Gate
£400
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century landscape that captures a quiet rural scene under an expansive sky, executed in oil onto board.

To the left, several golden haystacks rise against the horizon, their rounded forms accented by loosely placed poles, hinting at agricultural life and seasonal rhythms. A road leads the viewer’s eye into the middle distance, where a simple wooden gate opens toward a countryside beyond.

Executed in a restrained and muted palette, the composition reflects a serene pastoral atmosphere. The brushwork is gentle and impressionistic, with visible textures in the sky and fields that lend the painting a sense of movement and authenticity. Delicate textures in areas such as the haystacks and road adds tactile interest without overwhelming the tranquil mood.

Purple Blooms
£475
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined mid-century interior still life painting that captures a bouquet of vivid purple flowers arranged in a clear glass vase, resting on a neatly folded napkin atop a coral-toned table, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The blooms radiate warmth and structure with their concentric circles and velvety textures. To the left, a cluster of green figs provides visual weight and organic contrast to the floral arrangement.

The composition is anchored by balanced geometry – a vertical vase, crisp edges of the napkin, and the gentle horizontal plane of the table – all of which play harmoniously against the soft verticals of the window and muted wall. The style is characteristic of mid-century modernist still life, embracing quiet elegance and considered simplicity.

The palette is restrained yet warm: dusty greens, deep purples, soft browns, and earthy coral tones. Brushwork is controlled yet expressive – blended in the background but more textured and sculptural in the rendering of the petals and fruit, offering depth and intimacy to this serene domestic scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffing.

Structural View
£530
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century modernist urban landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

The painting captures a quiet residential street scene as observed from behind a structural steel framework – perhaps the interior of a train, or a station canopy. The painting offers a fragmented urban perspective, with rooftops, chimneys, and facades clustered together under a brooding sky. The central teal-blue support beam divides the composition, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and scenery.

Bold, sculptural brushstrokes and an expressive use of impasto lend a tactile richness to the scene. The palette leans cool, dominated by blue-greens and dusky greys, punctuated by muted maroons, browns, and pale yellows that bring warmth to the architectural forms.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some light scuffing to the frame, but it is in good condition overall.

Sunlit Cart
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively mid-century modernist style landscape oil painting, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

At the heart of the composition lies a wooden cart with large wheels casting cool blue shadows across a warm orange path. Behind it, simplified forms of houses – painted in muted orange, coral red, and powder blue – sit neatly among rounded green trees and trimmed hedgerows.

The artist has used a flattened perspective and geometric abstraction, reducing the scene to bold shapes and colour fields. The palette is both playful and restrained; the shadows and structures are stylised, offering just enough detail to ground the viewer in a familiar rural setting, while leaving space for interpretation.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffing.

Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that captures a group of sightseers gathered at a scenic overlook, gazing out toward a hazy mountain range framed by coniferous trees, executed in oil onto board and dated 1946.

The figures are rendered with a sense of casual observation, some engaged in quiet conversation, others lost in the vast landscape beyond. Their poses suggest a shared yet silent moment of awe.

Painted in a modernist-naïve style, the artist has simplified human forms and natural elements into broad, expressive shapes. The composition is structured yet loose, with the figures arranged rhythmically along a wooden railing that guides the viewer’s eye toward the distant peaks.

The colour palette is soft and muted, dominated by pastel blues, pine greens, earthy browns, and warm flesh tones, evoking a misty afternoon in the mountains. The brushwork is brisk and visible – short, textured strokes give vitality to trees and garments alike, while the background mountains are softly blended to suggest atmospheric perspective.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary distressed style wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Winter Lane
£480
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A evocative mid-century composition that captures a quiet winter street scene in a rustic village, where figures bundled in coats wander along a snow-laden path, executed in oil onto canvas.

Flanked by bare trees and modest cottages with pitched roofs, the composition evokes the stillness of a cold day softened by human presence—two women chatting along a fence, and solitary figures making their way through the slush-covered street.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting features dynamic, swift brushstrokes that build up the texture of snow, branches, and garments with expressive confidence. The palette is dominated by restrained tones – icy whites, blues, muted greys – with subtle warm accents from ochres and reds found in rooftops and clothing details. The artist’s technique imparts a palpable sense of movement and chill, capturing both the beauty and quietude of a mid-century winter’s day. There are areas of heavy impasto, giving the piece a very painterly feel.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Tidal Rhythm
£415
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and expressive mid-century coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

This composition captures a sunlit shoreline, where land, sea, and sky converge in rhythmic harmony. Rolling waves meet sandy inlets and grassy banks, leading the viewer’s eye toward a distant tree-lined horizon under a softly clouded sky.

Executed in bold, confident brushstrokes, the work embraces an expressive, almost abstracted interpretation of nature. The artist has used impasto techniques with energetic brush movements that create a palpable texture across the canvas. Rich greens, browns, and sandy beiges define the coastal terrain, while varying shades of blue and lavender bring dynamism to the sea. Accents of crimson and cobalt heighten the visual tempo, offering flickers of contrast within the organic flow.

Evocative of Nordic coastal scenes and post-impressionist influence, this painting exemplifies the mid-century modern ethos: emotional immediacy through painterly gesture, simplified forms, and a harmonious interplay of colour.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Whispers in the Wind
£410
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A calm and serene mid-century modernist style landscape, executed in oil onto board.

The composition captures a tranquil scene anchored by two windswept trees standing sentinel beside a rustic wooden gate. The simplified composition reflects a distinctly modernist sensibility, stripping the scene down to its essential forms and rhythm.

Rendered in a restrained yet expressive palette of dusky greens, blues and yellow, the painting suggests the stillness of early morning or the hush before a summer storm. The sky looms with weight, textured in wide, flat planes of grey-blue, lending atmosphere and depth to the horizon.

Broad, gestural brushstrokes give the foliage of the trees a tactile quality. The rough, visible texture of the oil paint adds a sense of movement and immediacy. Subtle tonal contrasts in the fields beyond evoke a patchwork of earth and pasture, conveying both the simplicity and vitality of the rural environment.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is some paint loss present at the bottom of the gilded frame.

Abstract Plants
£320
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful semi-abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

The surface is thick with textured impasto, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The composition is divided into vivid colour blocks—warm corals, sunny yellows, soft aquas, and hints of mint—intersected by expressive black and blue marks that suggest organic forms.

Lloyd’s use of thick paint application invites a physical response—you can almost feel the surface just by looking at it. This rich texture adds depth and dynamism, engaging the senses beyond the visual.

The loosely defined forms gives us viewers just enough to begin imagining plants and stems without being literal. Its small size encourages close, personal viewing. It feels like a private experience—something to be studied and absorbed in a quiet moment. A perfect example of how small artworks can carry a big impact.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

Apple Reflection
£405
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A refined mid-century still life that captures a crisp moment of domestic simplicity with photorealistic precision, executed in oil onto canvas.

At the centre, a knife rests diagonally on a highly polished surface, its reflection rendered with meticulous attention. Flanking it are three apple segments – one halved, one whole, and one freshly cut – each painted with soft transitions of red, yellow, and green, evoking ripeness and freshness.

The artist employs a naturalistic style with subtle tonal gradations and a restrained palette. The composition is grounded in realism, but the clean backdrop and stark contrast between object and reflection give the work a modernist sharpness. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with a finish so refined it nearly conceals the hand of the painter – typical of mid-century realism.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame . The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some paint peeling off on its inner section as shown in the photos.

Size: 34.5 x 39 cm (including frame)
