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

A mid-century figurative painting that captures a lively outdoor gathering beneath two abstracted pine trees, rendered in bold, expressive forms, and painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

Fruit & Brushes
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A painterly and expressive mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

This expressive composition offers a window into the artist’s studio through a rhythmic arrangement of objects – a terracotta vase, a lilac-toned pitcher, a cobalt dish of orange fruit, and a pair of blue tumblers holding delicate paintbrushes.

What sets this piece apart is the dynamic interplay of brushstroke and line. Thick, impasto layers are energetically applied, while the artist employs sgraffito – scratching into the wet paint with the back of a brush to reveal underlying tones and carve gestural lines into the surface. This technique adds both texture and movement, amplifying the painting’s sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

The palette is a sophisticated interplay of soft mauves, deep greens, and muted blues, set against a textured backdrop that shifts from diagonal to vertical strokes – echoing the tension between structure and freedom.

The Rail Yards at Dusk
£565
Available

Free UK Shipping Only

An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some loss as shown.

The Shifting Sky
£810
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

A large and striking mid-century modernist abstract landscape composed in rich, geometric swathes of colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

This lively painting has abstracted a landscape scene into bold, horizontal blocks that suggest cultivated fields and farmhouses nestled among trees. The land is rendered in earthy greens, dusty pinks and mauves, transitioning toward cooler blues and lavenders in the sky.

The brushstrokes are broad, confident, and thickly applied. The sky dominates the upper half with layered streaks of cloud in muted purples, creams, and blues, evoking a moody, almost cinematic atmosphere. The artist’s minimalist approach to detail creates a sense of depth and serenity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the rhythm and quiet beauty of the countryside.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited ridged frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some surface wear to inner silver border (as shown), as well as a small loss to its upper left corner (as shown).

What the Mirror Saw
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A quietly arresting figurative painting that captures a fleeting, introspective moment seen through a reflection of a mirror, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

A solitary figure stands before the mirror, partially obscured by reflection and shadow, dissolving into the textured surface of the paint. The viewer becomes part of the act of looking, drawn into the layered spatial tension between the real and the reflected.

The mirror reveals a richly hued interior behind the subject – a warm orange -toned room with a red chair tucked casually to one side – hinting at the domestic life unfolding just beyond view. The cool white wall outside the mirror’s edge contrasts with the golden glow within, creating a striking division between inner and outer worlds.

Executed in a bold, gestural style, the painting features expressive brushstrokes and texture. The palette balances cool with warmer earthy tones, while the confident abstraction of form imbues the scene with both intimacy and ambiguity.

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

Size: 53 x 52.5 cm (including frame)

At the Counter
£1,050
Available

Free UK shipping only.

A large and compelling mid century modernist abstract figurative composition in oil, painted onto board by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

The scene captures three stylised figures possibly engaged in an exchange at the checkout – a familiar ritual rendered with striking simplicity and emotional weight.

The central figure, dressed in black, appears to be a shopper in mid-transaction, while the figure in pale blue behind the counter suggests a cashier. A third, more ambiguously defined figure stands nearby, perhaps another customer or a child. The figures are abstracted, skilfully reduced to essential shapes.

Thick impasto brushstrokes and rich textural layering give the work a tactile presence. The palette is earthy and architectural – orange, muted greens, brick reds, and cool greys – punctuated by flashes of white, lemon yellow, and cobalt blue, adding moments of vibrancy to the otherwise grounded tones.

The composition is rhythmic and architectural, with geometric planes converging to form an abstracted treatment of space and perspective. The flattened forms and overlapping fields of colour speak to the artist’s modernist sensibility — elevating the ordinary to the iconic.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

Still Life with Binoculars
£435
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An intimate interior still life painting that presents a quiet tableau of everyday objects, rendered in a restrained yet evocative modernist style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

A pair of vintage binoculars and dark-lensed sunglasses rest casually on a softly draped white cloth atop a warm wooden surface. Above the table hangs a minimalist line drawing of a vase, framed within the composition to add visual balance and conceptual layering.

The artist has used a muted palette of cream, olive, and greyish lavender tones, lending the piece a contemplative atmosphere. The brushwork is deliberate and refined, with soft gradations in the background that contrast against the sharper, sculptural treatment of the objects. Shadows and textures are subtly modulated, evoking both stillness and presence.

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

Size: 45 x 44 cm (including frame)
