    A brilliantly executed abstract composition drawn in biro onto paper, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This intricate composition has a dynamic, surreal quality, filled with abstract forms and stylised figures. The cross-hatching and dense linework typical of biro drawings are skilfully used to create depth, contrast, and texture. The artist plays with positive and negative space, using white areas effectively to highlight the main forms amidst the dark, densely filled background.

    The drawing has strong influences from Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, with its dream-like imagery and focus on fluidity, symbolism, and subconscious forms. There’s a sense of narrative, though it remains open-ended and abstract, encouraging personal interpretation.

    Overall, the piece is bold, intricate, and highly textured, showcasing the meticulous potential of the humble biro pen in the hands of a skilled artist.

    Both the drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting is presented within a card mount and a stained black wooden frame, and is protected behind perspex. 

    Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

    In the early 1990s, Enos lost most of the three middle fingers on his dominant right hand in a lawnmower accident. The biros allowed him to navigate his vivid and unique imagination and bring the thoughts and images in his head to life in their purest form of magic realism. This drawing was created in the early 2000s.

    Children at Play

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This expressive gouache painting features a collection of abstract, stylized human figures, arranged vertically against a bold turquoise background. The figures are outlined with heavy black lines, giving them a graphic, almost childlike quality. Each character has a distinct presence but is rendered with simplified forms and exaggerated facial features.

    The gouache medium allows for bold, opaque colour application, giving the painting a vibrant, matte finish. Visible brushstrokes and unrefined edges enhance the raw, expressive energy.

    Overall, this piece feels dynamic and full of personality, with a playful yet intense aesthetic that invites viewers to interpret the relationships and emotions of the figures.

    The painting is presented within a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Much of Enos’ work on paper from the 1950s to 1970s uses gouache, often in tandem with other media. Gouache allowed his joy and passion for colour to shine. Enos’ work straddled the worlds of figurative and abstracted art as he dipped into both with equal enthusiasm.

  • Figure in Dark Landscape

    Figure in Dark Landscape

    £650

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

    This vibrant gouache painting showcases an abstract, expressive portrait of a figure, executed with energetic, gestural lines and a vivid colour palette.

    Dominated by electric blues, purples, reds, greens, and black, with accents of yellow, pink, and white. The intense use of colour creates a dynamic, almost chaotic atmosphere. The central figure is constructed with a loose, overlapping web of continuous, scribbled lines. The facial features—particularly the eyes—are more defined yet still fragmented, conveying a sense of complexity and introspection.

    The painting exudes intensity and vulnerability, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional landscape behind the fragmented human figure.

    The painting is presented within in a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting has very small losses to upper corners of paper as seen in the photos.

    A large and vibrant mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lvoatt (1937-2018).

    This gouache painting presents an abstract, expressionist portrait of a human face. The figure is stylised, with exaggerated features and bold, energetic lines that convey a sense of intensity and emotion.

    Dominated by deep shades of red, purple, black, and blue, with accents of vibrant yellow and cyan. These contrasting colours create a strong visual tension. Colourful lines, particularly a yellow loop and bold blue stroke, cut across the face and neck, adding dynamic movement and further abstracting the form.

    Overall, the painting feels charged with emotional intensity, inviting viewers to interpret the subject’s inner world through its bold, non-traditional portrayal.

    Love Under the Trees

    £490

    A small but vibrant modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a cosy outdoor scene with two people sitting on a bench under a lush tree.

    The scene is set in what appears to be a courtyard or plaza, with a cobblestone ground, benches, and a doorway in the background. A black and white cat is resting in the foreground, adding a playful element to the piece.

    The dominant green and yellow leaves of the tree contrast beautifully with the soft pink and blue hues of the background. The painting’s overall colour scheme is warm, inviting, and slightly whimsical, with a mix of pastel and bright shades.

  • Pears & Glass Vase

    Pears & Glass Vase

    £1,050

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

    The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

     

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has water marks and wear across its inner border, and has some light scuffing present as well.

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A dynamic yet serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition captures a tranquil seascape with a bold yet abstracted and simplified approach. A vivid blue sky stretches above a deep azure ocean, with small landmasses appearing in the distance. The foreground presents rocky terrain with dynamic, gestural strokes of earthy tones—rich browns, and hints of purple and white—contrasting with the bright greens of greenery.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting embraces expressive and slightly abstracted forms rather than realistic details. The colours are vibrant, with a strong emphasis on blues and greens, juxtaposed against warmer, muted earth tones. The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident, with visible, textured strokes adding movement and depth to the composition. The sky exhibits smooth, blended transitions, while the land and sea are defined by more spontaneous, energetic marks, reflecting the raw beauty of a windswept coastal environment.

    A mid-century modernist painting that presents a tranquil seaside scene, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting features two abstracted figures seated near a boat. The figure on the left, clad in a striking yellow coat, appears to be engaged in quiet reflection, while the darker-clothed figure in the foreground seems to be writing or sketching. A boat, rendered in bold strokes of blue and red, rests on the shore, adding a strong geometric contrast to the muted landscape.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist has skilfully simplified the forms into blocks of contrasting shades, and has used a restrained yet effective palette.

    The vibrant yellow of the coat and the red of the boat capture our attention, as they stand out among the overall subdued shades that imbue the work with a soothing quality.

    The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, applied with a sense of immediacy and texture that enhances the painting’s tactile quality.

    Executed in a Fauvist-influenced, post-impressionist style, the painting embraces bold colour choices, flattened perspective, and an expressive, spontaneous approach to form. The composition plays with pattern and contrast, reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s interior scenes, where objects and décor hold as much visual weight as the background elements.

    £630

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist semi-abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

    The composition captures a dynamic and abstracted scene of three figures engaged in daily activities. It suggests a communal or domestic setting, possibly depicting women preparing food or engaged in household chores. The artist has used geometric forms and angular lines to construct the figures, giving them an expressive presence.

    Rendered in a bold, textured technique, the painting showcases an earthy, muted palette dominated by yellows, deep blues, browns, and warm neutrals. The brushstrokes are heavily applied, creating a layered, almost sculptural surface that enhances the raw energy of the composition. The background features a loosely defined architectural or patterned element, adding depth while maintaining the abstract nature of the piece.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1980, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The artwork captures an arrangement of bright yellow lemons and rich purple grapes resting in a blue bowl, complemented by green pears placed on a deep red tabletop. A brown pitcher stands in the background, along with patterned wallpaper and a blue wall, adding depth and contrast to the scene.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and focusing on clarity and boldness rather than texture or intricate detail.
