    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.

    The painting features thick, visible brushstrokes, giving it a textured, almost sculptural quality. The outlines are somewhat rough and expressive, enhancing the sense of spontaneity and movement.

  • 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.

  • Echoes of the Coast

    £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.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Stall

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small but very impactful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board, 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.

    This painting depicts a vegetable stand scene with two figures engaging with their produce at the stand. The style is expressionistic, characterized by loose brushstrokes and an emphasis on light, movement, and mood rather than precise details.

    The central figure, dressed in dark clothing, appears to be sorting or arranging vegetables, with their face softly blurred, adding a sense of anonymity and universality to the scene. The second figure in the background is similarly painted with loose, gestural strokes, suggesting movement and activity in the market setting.

    The colour palette consists of earthy tones, with yellows, greens, and browns, representing the fresh vegetables, possibly cabbages or lettuce, laid out on the stand. The contrast between the lighter background and the darker foreground elements helps create a sense of depth and focus on the workers.

    The painting conveys a sense of daily life and labour, celebrating the simple, honest work of market vendors. The expressive brushwork and soft blending of forms give the piece an almost dreamlike quality, evoking both the bustling atmosphere of a marketplace and the quiet dedication of its workers.

    The painting is very elegantly presented in a slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some slight scuffing, and a small bump to its lower right corner, as shown.

    Size: 28 x 27 cm (including frame)

  • Naval Steamship

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very characterful naval steamship composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

    This painting depicts a historic steam-powered paddle ship sailing on calm blue waters under a soft, muted sky. The ship is painted in a folk art style, with simplified forms and a restrained colour palette dominated by black, beige, and soft blues.

    A small red flag with a Union Jack in the corner is flown at the stern, suggesting that this ship may be of British origin. Thin black lines illustrate the ship’s rigging, adding to its structured appearance.

    The sky is painted in soft, washed-out tones of beige and pale blue, giving the scene a weathered, vintage aesthetic. A few wispy clouds add depth, while the sea is a flat, uniform blue, reinforcing the folk art style’s simplicity.

    Presented in a thin gilt frame, the painting has a nautical, old-world charm. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

    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.

  • Geometric Abstract in White

    £325

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    The checkerboard design is asymmetrically positioned, drawing attention to its placement within the larger composition. The use of muted greens and neutral tones adds a natural, organic feel, bringing attention to the age of the fabric.

    This piece reflects influences from Bauhaus design, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and modernist abstraction, celebrating simplicity, balance, and the beauty of imperfection. Its quiet elegance makes it a contemplative and visually soothing work.

  • Surrealist Still Life

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    The main focus is a still life arrangement, where the objects are flatly rendered, with strong outlines and solid colours, giving them a stylized, almost graphic appearance. The still life is set against a dramatic landscape featuring dark, jagged rock formations and a glowing yellow-orange sky. The horizon line is low, creating a sense of vastness and emphasizing the glowing sunset or sunrise. Two distant rocky outcrops are visible on the horizon, adding depth and a touch of realism.

    This painting is a striking combination of still life and landscape, juxtaposing the intimate simplicity of fruit and household objects with the grandeur and drama of a glowing, otherworldly landscape. The bold use of colour and form creates a stylized and dynamic composition, blending realism with abstraction. It evokes a sense of harmony between the everyday and the sublime.

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, but is in good condition overall.

    The scene is bathed in a restrained palette of muted earthy shades of browns and cream – evoking an emotive and nostalgic atmosphere.

    Although abstract in nature, the painting appears to depict a loosely defined nature setting, with elements suggesting trees, foliage, and perhaps a pathway.
