    Moonrise with Yellow Cup

    £985

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    A solitary figure stands silhouetted against a dusky ochre sky, bathed in the stillness of twilight. A full, pale moon hangs suspended in the background, casting a quiet presence over a geometric urban landscape rendered in rich, earthen browns and shadowy forms.

    The central figure, wears a softly patterned yellow garment that glows against the muted backdrop. Her jet-black hair is stark and angular, echoing the blocky architecture behind her. A small yellow cup, almost symbolic, rests at the bottom edge – a tender detail that anchors the composition with quiet intimacy.

    Executed in a restrained palette of warm browns, creams, ochres, and charcoal, the painting features smooth, matte brushwork and soft, flat colour fields, characteristic of post-war European modernism. The artist’s style is contemplative and distilled, evoking introspection and a serene, poetic stillness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited silver frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Market Day in the Square

    Market Day in the Square

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century Naïve style street scene that captures the rhythm and warmth of a local European town square on market day, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The composition presents a bustling yet orderly gathering of figures amid open stalls and sunlit awnings, set against the backdrop of a grand building with a steep red roof and tall chimney that anchors the composition.

    Executed in a naïve, folk-modernist style, the figures are rendered with simplified forms and minimal detail. The artist has used flat, blocky colour planes with earthy ochres, deep forest greens, navy blues, and brick reds, punctuated by soft greys and muted yellows in the cobbled square and overcast sky.

    Brushstrokes are direct and purposeful, with little blending. A defining feature of this work is the use of deep blue outlines – used not only to demarcate figures, umbrellas, and building edges, but also to bring coherence and rhythm to the composition. These cobalt contours give the scene an illustrative quality, emphasising form over detail.

    Overall, this work balances architectural geometry with the spontaneity of human life and community.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has minor scuffs.

    The Net Menders

    £440

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative mid-century modernist landscape composition with figures, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting captures a quiet scene where two figures are engaged in the timeless ritual of mending nets. Rendered in broad, confident brushstrokes, the composition emphasises form and rhythm over detail, evoking a sense of labor and community grounded in place.

    The artist employs a muted yet expressive palette: yellows and orange dominate the foreground, while greys, greens and blues define the sky and background. A bold block of red – a hut—anchors the composition to the right, adding architectural structure to the looser figurative forms. The figures themselves are stylised, almost abstract, with simplified forms, allowing posture and gesture to tell the story.

    Expressive and directional brushwork lend energy to the piece, particularly in the sweeping green lines of the fishing net, which leads the viewer’s eye diagonally across the scene. The cool and vast expanse of sky, provides balance and contrast to the dense activity in the lower half of the painting.

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet very impactful mid century abstract figurative oil composition, 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 painting captures the delicate stillness of a seated female figure through a haze of muted earth tones and gestural brushwork. The composition is softened by a palette of dark green, cream, dusty rose, black, and pale blue, evoking a dreamlike ambiance.

    The figure, loosely rendered, appears to be draped in a light dress, reclining against an abstracted backdrop that hints at foliage or stone. The artist has used confident, impressionistic strokes to blur the boundaries between subject and setting, allowing light and shadow to dissolve form. The painter’s technique embraces abstraction, with layered brushwork and softened edges creating an evocative play between motion and stillness.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profile gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it is in very good condition overall.

    Forest Bathing II

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very engaging and beautifully presented contemporary abstract composition, painted on to canvas by British artist Frances Daws.

     

    The Forest Bathing series captures the feeling of walking through a forest on a warm day – how the light bounces off the leaves and shadows dance on the forest floor. Luscious greens and soft yellows create a deep feeling of calm and are reminiscent of long walks and time spent sitting amongst the trees and ferns.

    This abstract painting, set within a minimalist white shadow frame, is a compact composition rich in earthy tones and gestural brushwork. Dominated by deep forest green, the canvas is energized by strokes of ochre, beige, and burnt orange, with the paint applied in sweeping, confident motions.

    The brushstrokes vary in texture—some areas are smooth and blended, while others are more expressive and raw, revealing the artist’s hand.

    The overall atmosphere is introspective and grounded, with a palette that evokes nature. This piece has a quietly compelling presence, inviting closer observation and personal interpretation.

     Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    Resting in Green

    £620

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.
    The paintings in this series respond to the calming presence of the colour green. Frances consciously spends as much time as she can outside. She lives close to woodlands and fields, making it easy to be immersed within greenery. Resting in Green seeks to capture the varying shades of greens within a snapshot of plants and how the relationship of these colours can form interesting compositions.

    This fluid, abstract composition immerses the viewer in a serene, verdant atmosphere. Dominated by various shades of green, interwoven with hints of olive, moss, turquoise, and muted ochre, the work evokes the sensation of being enveloped by nature.

    Organic, curvilinear forms ripple across the canvas, overlapping and intertwining in a way that mimics the foliage that Frances is inspired by. She employs layered brushwork and soft transitions between tones, creating a gentle rhythm that guides the eye across the piece.

    There’s a meditative stillness in the work, capturing the quiet energy of an abstracted garden. Despite its abstraction, the composition feels balanced and harmonious, with light and dark greens playing off each other in a soothing visual dialogue.

    Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

As the eye travels along the path, the scene brightens, culminating in a radiant burst of light filtering through the trees in the background — the “light at the end” referenced in the title.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract depiction of what appears to be a woodland scene dominated by pine branches and cones. The artist uses thick, impasto brushstrokes and a cool, earthy palette of blues, greens, whites, and deep browns to capture the textures and dynamic forms of the forest.

    The pine cones and branches are rendered with bold, almost sculptural application of paint, and the artist has added a sandy aggregate, giving the canvas a textured, tactile quality. The diagonal sweep of the central tree branch and scattered cones conveys a sense of movement, as if observed in a moment of wind or natural disarray.

    The background is filled with vertical strokes of cool blue-greens suggesting trunks or dense undergrowth, while the pale, almost snowy backdrop provides contrast and depth. This interplay of light and dark, texture and fluidity, evokes the feeling of standing among trees in a winter or early spring forest.

    A surreal and richly symbolic painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

    The painting presents an enigmatic architectural interior scene that feels suspended between the past and the surreal. At the lower left lies a creature with piercing blue eyes, emerging and integrated into the patterned textile ground. Scattered elements including a large clay pot, transparent orbs, and an engraved oval tablet evoke archaeological relics, rituals, and memory.

The entire composition is enclosed within a dominant arch motif, adding a quiet rhythm and continuity. The colour palette blends warm earth tones – terracotta and sandy neutrals  – offset with accents of blue and silver-grey.

    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.

    As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.

    Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 

    Size: 86.5 x 71.5 cm (including frame)

  • St Ives Head I (Very Large)

    St Ives Head I (Very Large)

    £1,400

    Available

    Free UK delivery only.

    A very large and atmospheric abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    This abstract oil painting of St Ives Head conveys a powerful impression of the Cornish landscape through bold colour blocks and expressive brushwork. The composition is dominated by a strong horizontal division:

    The lower portion features lush, vibrant greens, suggestive of the headland’s grassy terrain. These greens are layered and varied, with hints of dark shadows and occasional streaks of red and orange adding depth and movement. A sweeping form of deep black and charcoal arcs through the upper and middle sections, perhaps alluding to the rocky outcrop of St Ives Head or the moody Atlantic shadows. This shape anchors the piece and creates dramatic contrast. Surrounding these darker masses, icy blues and muted whites evoke the sky and sea, with the brushwork ranging from smooth to vigorously textured. Pops of pink and red in fine linear marks add visual interest and energetic tension across the central area.

    The painting is both abstract and landscape-inspired, distilling the raw essence of the coastal headland into expressive colour fields and gestural marks. It reflects the elemental forces of land, sea, and weather typical of St Ives, rendered in a deeply personal, modernist style.

    This very large oil on board is housed in a complementary light grey frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Still Life with Binoculars

    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.

  • Harbour View

    Harbour View

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures an abstracted waterfront scene rendered with bold geometric blocks and restrained tonal contrasts, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The viewer’s perspective is elevated, possibly from a balcony or overpass, looking out across a harbour populated with moored boats and a white ferry gliding through calm waters.

    The artist has used a flattened, semi-cubist approach to space and form, using simplified shapes and thick, deliberate brushstrokes to construct the architecture and landscape. A palette of muted greys, brown, rust, and soft blues evokes an overcast or wintry atmosphere, while the warm orange of the lower rooftops adds grounding contrast.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing.

  • Rhythms of the Wind

    Rhythms of the Wind

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modernist abstract painting that captures the essence of a dynamic landscape through expressive colour and bold, gestural form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Angular hills in deep burgundy, forest green, and charcoal anchor the composition, while slender white tree trunks stretch vertically across a kaleidoscopic backdrop.

    The trees, with their loosely rendered, wind-blown canopies of green, sway dramatically, suggesting motion and energy. The background unfolds in blocks of pastel and saturated hues – blue, lavender, peach, lemon yellow, and vivid cyan – creating a sense of fragmented light and spatial ambiguity.

    Executed in lively, expressive brushstrokes and confident swaths of colour, the work evokes both the emotional resonance of nature and the structural experimentation of modernist form. The artist’s bold palette and rhythmic composition echo the influence of abstraction while retaining a distinctly personal and poetic sensibility.

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

    Coastal Drift

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calming and serene abstract coastal landscape that suggests a sky, sea, and shoreline in soft, atmospheric layers, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2005.

    Abstract in style, the composition features fluid, overlapping forms that hint at cloud cover, water reflections, and horizon lines, all rendered with an airy touch.

    The artist has used a muted, harmonious palette of pastel tones – pale blue, soft yellow, sage green, and creamy white – punctuated by gentle accents of orange. Broad, smooth brushstrokes contrast with areas of stippled texture, creating depth and movement while maintaining an overall sense of calm. The lower third suggests a landscape grounded in earth tones, while the upper section dissolves into an expansive, impressionistic sky.

  • Coastal Path

    Coastal Path

    £740

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very atmospheric and expressive landscape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood.

    It is a dynamic, abstracted landscape that captures the essence of walking along a windswept shoreline trail. It blends expressive brushwork, shifting textures, and a vivid, elemental palette to evoke both the physical and emotional experience of the coastline.

    Pink dashes and shapes dance across the centre, adding rhythm and possibly indicating human presence, wildflowers, or directional markers on a path. The brushwork is loose, textural, and emotionally charged, capturing fleeting impressions over literal depiction.]

    Overall, the painting conveys solitude, discovery, and elemental energy. It’s less about representing a specific location and more about evoking the feeling of being immersed in nature—the wind on your face, the shifting weather, the wide horizon ahead. It celebrates the freedom and introspection of walking the edge between land and sea.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary white frame.  Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
