Where Light Rests
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A minimalist and elegant mid-century abstracted composition that distils the essence of a tranquil seascape into a beautifully restrained arrangement of form, light and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

Two simplified sailboats rest quietly upon still water, their dark hulls and slender masts emerging from an expansive field of soft ivory. A delicate burst of luminous colour behind the vessels hints at the first light of day or the gentle glow of a setting sun, creating a subtle focal point without disrupting the painting’s meditative calm.

Executed in a modernist style, the work embraces minimalism and negative space, allowing the surrounding emptiness to become as expressive as the subjects themselves. The composition balances precision with softness, reducing familiar maritime forms to their essential geometry while preserving a strong sense of serenity and contemplation.

The palette is intentionally restrained, dominated by warm whites, cream and pale stone tones, accented with charcoal black and touches of muted turquoise and soft gold that gently radiate through the centre of the composition. These understated colours lend the painting a quiet luminosity and timeless sophistication.

Brushwork is delicate and atmospheric throughout, with fine surface texture within the paint that creates depth. Thin, carefully controlled lines define the masts, while the hulls are rendered with confident, sculptural strokes. The surrounding paint has been softly layered and feathered, creating translucent washes and subtle tonal transitions that evoke mist, reflected light and calm water.

This oil on canvas is presented in a distressed style wood frame with a light gold gold finish that beautifully complements the work’s soft, neutral palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Cottage Garden Gathering
£555
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modern landscape captures the quiet rhythm of everyday life in a peaceful countryside setting, executed in oil onto board.

A modest white cottage with a steep charcoal roof sits at the heart of the composition, framed by leafy trees and a warm terracotta garden wall. Small figures animate the scene – two gathered around a table beneath the window while another walks across the lawn carrying a basket – bringing a gentle sense of domestic activity without distracting from the tranquil atmosphere.

Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is simplified into broad, confident forms with an emphasis on balance and mood over fine detail. The artist employs an understated palette of soft sage and celadon greens, creamy whites, blush pinks, deep slate greys, and earthy browns. Carefully placed accents of coral red and blue within the figures introduce subtle moments of colour that enliven the otherwise restrained composition.

The brushwork is loose, expressive, and painterly, with broad, visible strokes that allow the texture of the surface to remain evident throughout. Buildings and foliage are rendered with gestures rather than precise definition, while the sky is built from sweeping, layered strokes that create a luminous, atmospheric backdrop.

This oil on board is presented in a simple painted wooden frame finished in an off-white tone, complementing the soft, muted palette of the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Daphne
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

Set within a tranquil landscape, the painting depicts a sheep named Daphne by the artist, standing peacefully in an open meadow. In the distance, a small white cottage nestles atop a rolling hill, with a ribbon of smoke rising from its chimney beneath a brilliant blue sky dotted with stylised clouds.

Painted in a contemporary naïve style, the composition embraces simplicity, clarity and a sense of childlike wonder. The artist distils the landscape into softly undulating hills, clean silhouettes and carefully balanced forms, creating a scene that feels both timeless and quietly whimsical.

The colour palette is fresh and harmonious, combining lush greens with a vivid blue sky and warm cream tones that give the sheep a soft, luminous presence. Gentle beige accents define the animal’s face, legs and ears, while the white cottage introduces a subtle focal point that balances the composition. The restrained palette creates an atmosphere of warmth, optimism and pastoral serenity.

Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint producing broad, uninterrupted fields of colour. Subtle tonal modulation across the sheep’s fleece suggests softness, while delicate linear brushstrokes within the foreground grass add gentle movement and texture.

This oil on board is housed in a black painted wooden frame with a gilded inner trim. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

Norma
£550
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

A black ewe (named ‘Norma’ by the artist) stands calmly against a simplified countryside, framed by rolling green pasture, glowing yellow hills and a soft grey sky scattered with stylised clouds. With its gentle expression and sturdy silhouette, the animal becomes the quiet focal point of the composition, conveying a sense of contentment and innocence. The intentionally pared-back landscape enhances the painting’s contemplative mood, allowing the humble subject to command the viewer’s attention.

Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces simplicity and bold forms. The artist avoids unnecessary detail in favour of clean outlines and balanced composition, creating an image that feels both playful and quietly sophisticated.

The palette is restrained yet striking, contrasting the rich charcoal-black body of the sheep with warm ochre-yellow hills, muted sage-green grass and a softly graduated grey sky. Delicate touches of brown define the sheep’s face and legs, while the subtle golden tones in the landscape introduce warmth and optimism without overwhelming the composition.

Brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with carefully applied layers producing broad, even areas of colour and very little visible texture. Gentle tonal variation within the sheep’s coat and sky adds depth while maintaining the painting’s clean aesthetic.

Walter

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

A black ram, aptly named ‘Walter’ by the artist, stands calmly against a simplified countryside, framed by rolling green pasture, glowing yellow hills and a soft grey sky scattered with stylised clouds. With its gentle expression and sturdy silhouette, the animal becomes the quiet focal point of the composition, conveying a sense of contentment and innocence.

Where the Street Bends
£530
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century modernist painting that captures the charm of a winding street, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

The composition leads the viewer around a gentle curve, framed by a procession of closely gathered buildings whose simplified forms and overlapping rooftops create a rhythmic architectural landscape. Rather than focusing on activity or figures, the painting celebrates the character of the built environment itself, transforming an everyday streetscape into a carefully balanced study of shape, colour and light.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist reduces the architecture to clean geometric planes and broad areas of flat colour. Perspective is gently compressed, allowing the facades and rooftops to stack together in harmonious layers that emphasise composition over strict realism. The resulting scene possesses a calm, contemplative quality, where atmosphere is conveyed through thoughtful simplification rather than intricate detail.

The colour palette is warm yet refined, combining terracotta reds, burnt orange, yellow and muted sage greens with cool blue-grey rooftops, soft taupes and a pale, luminous sky. A crisp white building in the foreground anchors the composition, providing striking contrast against the richer hues beyond. These carefully balanced colours lend the painting both warmth and serenity while guiding the eye naturally through the winding street.

The brushwork is confident and deliberate. Broad, even applications of paint establish the strong architectural forms, while subtle directional strokes and lightly textured surfaces add depth and movement without distracting from the painting’s graphic simplicity. The visible brushstrokes soften the otherwise geometric composition, giving the work a tactile quality and preserving the expressive character of the artist’s hand.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame that features a wide cream-linen finish and an inner gilt moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Abstract Horizon
£675
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A mid-century modernist abstract landscape painting that captures a rugged, windswept terrain through expressive and gestural brushwork, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition evokes an expansive natural scene, possibly an autumnal field or rocky desert, with layered horizontal bands of colour suggesting depth and movement. The artist has used bold black forms scattered across the canvas, which could represent geological formations, shadows, or abstracted land contours.

Rendered in a striking palette of earthy ochres, deep rusts, and burnt yellows, the warm hues contrast dramatically against the bolder black strokes. The upper section features a pale beige sky, creating a sense of atmospheric openness that enhances the composition’s spatial depth.

The painting is executed with raw, gestural brushstrokes and areas of impasto, adding an energetic and dynamic quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Size: 72 x 91.5 cm (including frame)

Cafe Corner
£500
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century figurative scene capturing two quiet moments at a cafe, painted in oil onto canvas.

In the foreground, a seated figure in a deep navy jacket and soft blue beret rests a hand on the edge of a round cafe table, their form simplified into warm, tonal blocks of colour. Behind them, another figure is absorbed in reading, rendered with the same softened anonymity. A bright window view opens out to terracotta rooftops and a leafy green tree, bathing the interior in a gentle, diffused glow.

Painted in a restrained, modernist style, the composition favours suggestion over detail. Colours are muted yet fresh – powder blues, sage greens, clay reds, and chalky neutrals form a harmonious palette. The brushwork is tactile and deliberate, with thick, confident strokes that create a pleasing sense of texture and movement. Figures and objects are shaped through broad patches of pigment rather than fine modelling, giving the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Contrasting Silhouettes
£860
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting presents the silhouette of 2 figures, rendered in bold and contrasting colours of orange, black, grey, and white, against a deep black backdrop. The figures stand side by side, their forms simplified and stripped of realistic detail, emphasising their shapes and the dynamic interplay of colours.

The abstract nature of the painting draws attention to the contrast between the hues, creating a sense of depth and movement within the piece. The overall effect is striking, with the stark background intensifying the vibrancy of the figures.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting has some light marks, but nothing that detracts from its overall appearance. The frame has a small mark at its bottom left corner.

Cradle
£915
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

Garden Gathering
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century landscape painting captures a tranquil outdoor scene featuring two female figures seated at a round table in a sunlit garden, executed in oil onto board.

Set against the backdrop of a soft beige house with a deep, shadowed doorway, the figures appear engaged in quiet conversation or shared activity, lending the composition a gentle narrative intimacy. The garden around them is lush and alive, with tall grasses in yellow-green hues and trees whose canopies are rendered in cool greens, blues and touches of deep teal, creating a vibrant interplay of colour and light.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has employed simplified forms and expressive, confident brushstrokes. The palette leans toward harmonious earth tones, punctuated by cool blues and greens that evoke dappled shade and warm Mediterranean air. The brushwork is loose yet intentional, especially in the foliage, where strokes overlap to create texture and depth. The figures, though minimally detailed, are sensitively modelled through shape and colour, allowing their presence to feel both grounded and atmospheric.

Overall, this work offers a beautiful snapshot of leisurely outdoor life: serene, intimate, and rich with the warmth and colour characteristic of mid-century European painting.

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

A vibrant and expressive figurative portrait composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

The focal point of the composition is a figure in a blue shirt, seated at a table and engrossed in reading a book. The background depicts a winter landscape painting hanging on the wall that has been painted with a rich mix of green and yellow hues.

The artist has used the power of brushstrokes and a rich and striking colour palette to highlight emotion. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece.

This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Shared Moments
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully atmospheric mid-century modernist oil painting depicting two figures in a quiet interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

One is seated at a table, leaning gently forward, while the other stands nearby, their forms simplified and softened, inviting the viewer into an intimate moment. Light floods in from a large window in the background, casting a pale blue glow that contrasts against the deeper, earthy tones of the room.

Rendered with expressive brushwork and impasto, the artist has used broad, confident strokes to build form and texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The muted greys, dusky mauves, and slate blues are gently warmed by accents of ochre and terracotta in the standing figure’s clothing, adding a subtle focal point to the composition.

The scene carries a sense of stillness and familiarity – a fleeting domestic moment captured through abstraction, where emotion is conveyed not through facial detail but through posture, colour harmony, and the soft diffusion of light.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary mid-century style frame with a softly textured, linen lined surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Blue Teapot
£595
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modern still life that distils everyday domestic objects into a harmonious study of form, light and colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

A wooden table supports a carefully balanced arrangement consisting of a striking dark blue teapot, a pale blue carton, and a tall white open box. Rather than striving for realism, the artist reduces the objects to confident geometric shapes, allowing the interplay of volume, shadow and negative space to become the true subject of the composition.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting demonstrates an appreciation for simplified structure and thoughtful spatial relationships. The elongated table legs and gently abstracted forms lend the work a subtle sense of rhythm, while broad planes of light and shadow create depth without unnecessary detail. The composition feels both deliberate and effortless, embodying the restrained elegance characteristic of European mid-century painting.

The colour palette is soft and beautifully balanced, combining earthy browns and creamy ivory with cool passages of powder blue, slate grey and muted lavender. The dramatic teapot provides a bold focal point, its rich silhouette contrasting beautifully against the luminous background.

Brushwork is confident. Broad, flat applications of paint define the major forms, while visible directional brushstrokes impart texture and vitality across the tabletop, vessels and surrounding walls. The artist embraces the natural movement of the brush, allowing slight variations in tone and edge to soften the geometric composition. The resulting surface possesses both freshness and restraint.

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

The Craft of Two
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet impactful mid-century figurative scene capturing two figures seated side by side and absorbed in an activity, painted in oil onto canvas.

The figures’ forms are simplified into soft blocks of colour, giving the composition a lyrical stillness: one figure in a warm rose-brown dress, the other rendered in deeper charcoal tones. Both bend slightly forward, hands engaged over a table, suggesting companionship, focus, and the quiet rituals of everyday life.

Painted in a distinctly modernist, reductionist style, the artist has distilled the scene into broad, confident shapes rather than fine detail. The palette is muted yet harmonious: pale greys, warm browns, sandy yellows, and touches of turquoise that lift the composition. The background is kept intentionally understated, allowing the figures to hold the emotional weight of the piece.

Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and opaque: applied in thick, purposeful patches that gradually build the forms. Edges are softened, merging figure and space in a way that feels intimate and contemplative.

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

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)

Theatre Performance
£510
Available

Free UK shipping only.

A large and wonderfully painted expressive modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

A male figure dressed in a costume and wearing a baroque mask punctuates the centre of the painting. He is in character and is depicted in action, as he performs on a stage.

The artist has worked with a calm and restrained colour palette comprising light shades of blue, white and grey, and has skilfully paired the contrasting tones that not only harmonise so beautifully together, but also highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the respective forms.

This oil on board is housed in a wide-profile textured frame that pairs perfectly with the painting. The painting has some areas of losses to the top section, as shown in close ups. The frame has some losses and wear, including an area to the top part of the inner frame slip, as shown in photos.

Whispers
£405
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.

Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. 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.

The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Winter Rooftops
£465
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A calm and beautifully restrained mid-century cityscape composition that transforms an everyday cluster of rooftops into an elegant study of form, balance, and light, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rather than focusing on architectural detail, the artist reduces the surrounding buildings to simple interlocking planes, allowing the composition to become a harmonious arrangement of rectangles, pitched roofs, and chimneys. The elevated viewpoint creates an intimate glimpse across neighbouring buildings, evoking the quiet atmosphere of an early morning before the city stirs.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting reflects the Scandinavian appreciation for simplicity and order. The carefully flattened perspective, clean geometry, and subtle tonal transitions lend the work a contemplative quality, where familiar urban architecture becomes almost abstract in its rhythmic repetition.

The palette is deliberately muted and sophisticated, combining warm creams, soft browns, pale taupes, muted terracotta reds, cool slate greys, and charcoal blacks beneath a crisp, powder-blue sky. These restrained colours create a pleasing contrast between warm sunlit façades and cool shadowed rooftops, giving the painting a quiet sense of depth without sacrificing its graphic simplicity.

The brushwork is smooth and controlled throughout, with thin, even applications of paint that reinforce the crisp architectural forms. Gentle directional brushstrokes remain visible across the flat colour fields, lending the surface warmth and subtle texture while preserving the painting’s clean, minimalist aesthetic.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a stepped profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Wildflower Meadow
£415
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene 20th century landscape that captures a quiet meadow dotted with wildflowers at the edge of a lightly wooded grove, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1981.

A scattering of slender trees rises from a carpet of soft grasses and delicate blooms. The scene evokes the stillness of a spring morning, where nature is observed with sensitivity and restraint.

Executed in a gently impressionistic style, the painting prioritises atmosphere and mood over strict detail. The artist uses softened forms and subtle transitions of tone to create depth, allowing the landscape to dissolve gracefully into the distance. The composition feels airy and contemplative, inviting the viewer into a peaceful natural setting.

The colour palette is fresh and understated, built around harmonious shades of sage green, celadon, pale blue, and silvery grey. Touches of lavender, violet, and bright yellow wildflowers animate the foreground, providing delicate accents against the cool greens of the meadow and trees. The pale sky lends an overall luminosity to the work, enhancing its tranquil character.

Brushwork is light and fluid. Thin, vertical strokes describe grasses and tree trunks, while loosely applied layers of paint suggest foliage and distant woodland. The flowers are rendered with small, lively touches of colour that enliven the surface without disturbing the painting’s calm rhythm.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen lining and slim gilt slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very light scuffing.

Rhythm of Facades
£595
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century painting that presents a tightly composed arrangement of house facades that has been reduced to a sequence of interlocking geometric forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1952.

Angular rooftops, window blocks, and simplified architectural planes sit side by side, creating a dense, almost puzzle-like composition. A darker vertical element – suggestive of a tower or chimney – rises subtly in the background, adding contrast and anchoring the structure without disrupting its abstraction.

Executed in a modernist style with clear cubist influences, the work prioritises shape and structure over traditional perspective. Depth is flattened, and space is conveyed through overlapping planes rather than illusionistic distance. The facades are treated as rhythmic units, each one contributing to a cohesive, grid-like harmony.

The palette is restrained yet expressive. Soft whites, warm neutrals, and charcoal tones form the foundation, punctuated by bold accents of cobalt blue and deep red. These colour blocks introduce movement and visual tension, guiding the eye across the composition while maintaining overall balance.

Brushwork is confident and tactile, with visible strokes lending subtle texture to the otherwise flat fields of colour. Slight variations in paint density and edge definition soften the geometry just enough to keep the piece feeling painterly rather than rigid.

Overall, the painting offers a refined abstraction of architectural form: capturing the essence of house facades through a balanced interplay of colour, structure, and mid-century modern sensibility.

This oil on board is presented in a light-toned wooden frame with a softly textured finish, and with subtle ridges that add depth without overwhelming the composition. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light cracks present, consistent with age.

The Collector’s Corner
£460
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and very charming 1948 interior scene, painted in oil onto board.

The painting invites us into a room filled with personality. A favourite green armchair sits among a carefully gathered collection of paintings, golden frames, warm wooden details, and a sunlit view beyond the window.

The artist captures more than just a room. They capture the spirit of someone who lives surrounded by the things they love. Each picture on the wall feels like a memory, each object carefully chosen and kept. The slightly playful perspective and expressive brushwork give the painting a storybook quality, where the chair itself almost becomes the collector — proudly keeping watch over its little gallery.

Rich yellows, earthy browns, and deep greens create a nostalgic glow, while the glimpse of the garden outside brings freshness and life into the space. Full of character and mid-century charm, this piece is a joyful portrait of collecting, creativity, and the beauty of a home shaped by art.

This oil on canvas is presented in robust solid wood frame with a stepped profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing which is commensurate with its age.

Where the Light Settles
£480
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An atmospheric abstract landscape composition that distils the essence of a quiet horizon into a series of gestural forms and atmospheric colour fields, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

The composition suggests a windswept coastal plain or open countryside, where low-lying landforms emerge from a luminous expanse of sky. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist captures a fleeting impression of place – one shaped by memory, mood, and light.

The painting balances abstraction and landscape, reducing natural forms to expressive strokes and simplified masses. The restrained composition creates a sense of openness and stillness, inviting contemplation while allowing the viewer’s imagination to complete the scene.

A subtle palette of soft ivory, pale blue, warm browns, slate grey, and earthy umber lends the work a gentle, atmospheric quality. Delicate accents of golden yellow punctuate the horizon, suggesting sunlight breaking through distant forms and providing warmth against the cooler tones.

The brushwork is confident and expressive, lending texture and movement across the painted surface. Broad, sweeping strokes define the sky, while layered, energetic marks in the foreground create a sense of depth and shifting terrain. The varied application of paint – from thin washes to thicker passages – imbues the work with a tactile quality.

This oil on board is presented in a beautiful frame with a warm gilt finish and stepped moulding profile. Both the painting and frame are excellent vintage condition.

The Gentleman
£510
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemplative and uniquely textured mid-century figurative portrait depicting a seated man rendered in profile, executed in oil onto canvas.

Wearing a dark flat cap and simple jacket, the figure appears absorbed in thought, his posture relaxed yet dignified. The composition conveys a sense of introspection and quiet resilience, with the sitter emerging gently from an abstracted background.

Executed in an expressive modernist manner, the painting balances representation with abstraction. The artist reduces the figure to essential forms and gestures, allowing mood and character to take precedence over precise detail. The sparse setting and generous negative space draw attention to the sitter’s presence while enhancing the work’s meditative quality.

The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by soft greys, pale creams, muted whites, and subtle blue-grey tones. Delicate accents of olive green and warm earth colours animate the face and clothing, lending warmth and humanity to the otherwise cool composition. The contrast between the dark cap and the luminous background creates a striking focal point.

The brushwork is loose, painterly, and highly expressive. Broad, sweeping strokes define the background, while layered passages of thicker paint and textured applications bring life to the sitter’s features. Sketch-like linear marks remain visible in areas of the clothing, revealing the artist’s process and lending an immediacy to the work. The combination of fluid washes, dry-brush effects, and impasto-like textures creates a rich surface that rewards close inspection.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim black-toned wood frame. The painting and frame are both in good vintage condition.

Woman in a Blue Coat
£560
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century modern figurative composition that portrays a seated female figure rendered through a cubist lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

Wearing a striking cobalt-blue coat and an elaborate floral hat, the figure occupies a loosely defined interior setting populated by still-life elements including bottles, a keyboard, and geometric furnishings. The artist blends portraiture and abstraction, creating a scene that feels both intimate and psychologically distant, with the sitter’s downcast gaze lending the work a contemplative, almost melancholic atmosphere.

The painting demonstrates strong influences of Cubism. Forms are fragmented into angular planes and intersecting lines, with the figure and surrounding objects dissolved into a network of geometric shapes. Rather than striving for realism, the artist focuses on structure, rhythm, and emotional expression, allowing the composition to oscillate between representation and abstraction.

The colour palette is sophisticated and restrained, dominated by rich blues, soft greys, muted creams, and earthy browns. Accents of pale turquoise, dusty pink, and burgundy introduce warmth and visual interest, particularly within the sitter’s hat and the surrounding still-life elements. The cool tones of the figure’s clothing provide a strong focal point against the quieter, atmospheric background.

Brushwork is expressive and varied, combining thin washes with broader applications of paint. Deliberate black contour lines define forms and reinforce the painting’s architectural structure, while areas of dry-brushed pigment and visible canvas texture contribute to its tactile quality.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with gilt detailing to the outer moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Blossoms & Fruit
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing and very pleasant mid-century modernist style still life that presents a luminous arrangement of flowers and fruit, executed in oil onto board.

At the centre, a white ceramic vase holds a lively bouquet of blossoms: soft blue, deep red, vivid yellow and indigo – set against a dramatic background of shadowed navy and pale grey. The floral forms are loosely defined yet full of character, capturing the spontaneity and freshness of a moment observed.

Below, an assortment of apples, plums and a single green pear are scattered casually across the tabletop. Their rounded forms and warm tones create a pleasing counterbalance to the vertical elegance of the vase. A patterned drape in soft blue with warm rust-orange accents adds depth and a gentle theatricality to the composition.

The palette is harmonious and inviting: cool blues and greys contrasted with bright fruit tones and fresh greens. Brushstrokes are expressive but controlled, with soft blending in the background and more decisive, painterly marks in the flowers and fruit. The overall effect is one of warmth, vibrancy and quiet domestic charm – an appealing example of mid-century still-life painting that brings both colour and calm to any interior.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of wear to the inner frame as shown in the photos.

Size: 69 x 60 cm (including frame)

Pastel Settlement
£620
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century modernist composition that reduces a landscape to its essential forms, transforming a familiar rural scene into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and space, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of simplified buildings sits along the horizon, their geometric silhouettes emerging from broad fields of muted earth tones and soft pastel hues. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and abstracted, balancing observation with artistic interpretation.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist dispenses with descriptive detail in favour of large, carefully structured planes of colour. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, with horizontal bands of land and sky intersected by the angular forms of houses and rooftops. This simplification creates a sense of calm order and architectural rhythm, recalling the restrained aesthetic of European post-war modernism.

The palette is particularly refined, comprising delicate lavender, pale cream, blush pink, sage green, dusty blue-grey, and warm earthy browns. These softened colours lend the work a quiet luminosity and contemplative mood, while subtle tonal variations create depth without disrupting the painting’s overall serenity.

Brushwork is restrained yet expressive. Broad, confident applications of paint leave visible traces of the artist’s hand, with softly textured surfaces and gently uneven edges contributing warmth and character. The paint is applied in flat, matte passages, emphasising form and colour relationships, allowing the composition’s elegant simplicity to take centre stage.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim white-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks.

A lively and beautifully textured floral still life painting that celebrates the beauty of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

The painting depict an arrangement of sunflowers in a terracotta pot, radiating with vibrant energy.

Executed in an expressionist manner, the painting showcases a bold and textured application of paint. Thick, dynamic brushstrokes in the impasto technique create a striking three-dimensional effect. This textured approach captures the raw, tactile quality of the subject, bringing the flowers to life.

The colour palette is rich and harmonious, featuring warm yellows and oranges of the sunflowers, beautifully contrasted by deep greens of the leaves and the earthy red of the terracotta pot. Soft blues and yellows in the background provide a serene yet lively atmosphere, complementing the composition without detracting from its central focus.
