SOLD.
A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.
A row of farmhouses stretch across the middle of the painting, in between fields in the foreground as well as fields that pan out into the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.
Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has reduced the scene down to planes of contrasting colours. The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky.
The gentle brushstrokes bring forth a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A striking and very picturesque 20th century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1999.
The artist has captured the essence and feeling of the cold and wintery rural landscape. 3 solid blocks of brown that represent the farmhouses sit stoically in the field, with a frost covered field before them. The artist has created layers of earthy colours in short and expressive brushstrokes, and has possibly used a sponge like tool to dab out areas, giving this picture a very distinct texture and depth. To the left a group of alpine trees create balance and structure in the composition.
The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it very well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scattered scuff marks and scratches, and some general age related wear to the corners.

A very charming mid-century street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
The painting is inherently a delight to look at – with a myriad of details from this everyday scene to admire in a very lively colour palette. It presents a street scene lined with narrow and tall buildings, each having a different exterior front and brimming with character. In the foreground, people from all walks of life are going about their day. We can see a security guard guarding a building, a milkmaid pushing a cart with a milk jar, a young boy on his scooter, and a lady buying some goods from a stall.
The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness and frankness. There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. Its ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek – to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

The composition masterfully captures the reduction of forms and emphasises abstraction as it presents a family of 4 figures against a green backdrop. Each figure has been elegantly reduced into blocks of contrasting shades, as they gaze upwards and their faces are obscured by the absence of facial features.
A distinctive touch is the portrayal of their heads in saturated colour, as well as the unique blue outline that contours each figure, drawing our attention to each of their forms. Through the use of a heavily muted palette as well as smooth brushstrokes, the artist has managed to skilfully create a unique ‘hazy’ effect to the painting, creating a sense of mystery and nostalgia.

A brilliantly executed semi-abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1973 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 of the painting draws our attention to three figures holding golf bags, set amidst a sprawling golf course with lush greenery. The artist’s deliberate omission of detailed features encourages viewers to focus on the overall atmospheric ambiance as opposed to their individual characteristics.
Painted in a semi-abstract style, there is a strong focus on expressive and textured brushstrokes, as well as rich colours. The use of painterly and dynamic brushstrokes create a sense of energy and movement throughout the painting, and the clever use of a limited colour palette dominated by various shades of greens and browns helps to unify the composition and emphasise the beauty and lushness of the natural surroundings.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a fair amount of scuffing to the gilt, as shown in photos. Notably there is a vertical black mark to the right hand side of the frame as shown.

The artist has deliberately used a restrained palette that allows for a harmonious and balanced color scheme, with cream hues with subtle yellow undertones evoking a sense of warmth and serenity, while the use of rich forest green signifies lushness and vibrancy of the landscape.
