Geometric Collage with 2 Circles
£380
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 composition consists of two muted circular forms, each placed centrally within the upper and lower halves of the piece. The circles—soft pinkish and earthy reddish tones—are made from swatches of book covers, creating a tactile contrast against the rich, golden-brown marbled background.

The background evokes a sense of aged parchment or worn leather, enhancing the artwork’s connection to its literary origins. The precise placement of the circles introduces a sense of symmetry and contemplation, while the visible grain and patina of the materials speak to time, reuse, and the quiet endurance of objects past.

Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

Blue Bowl & Pears
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small but very striking still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, 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 balanced arrangement of fruit upon a wooden surface. At the centre sits a vivid cobalt-blue bowl, cradling a bright yellow lemon and a tightly clustered bunch of deep purple grapes, accented with a bold green leaf. Surrounding the bowl are five pears in varying tones of green and brown, their organic forms adding rhythm and balance to the composition.

The artist has used a simplified, almost sculptural style, emphasising solid blocks of colour and clear outlines over intricate detail. The palette is bold and saturated, contrasting jewel-like purples and blues against earthy browns and greens, with the lemon’s intense yellow providing a sharp highlight. The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, flat applications of paint that create a sense of weight and presence.

The background is rendered in horizontal bands of brown, giving a structured backdrop that contrasts with the roundness of the fruit.

This tempera on board is presented in a well suited frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Fresh Fields
£415
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A lively mid-century post-impressionist landscape composition, executed in oil onto board.

Small yet impactful, the painting showcases a vibrant and abstracted depiction of nature, where lush fields with rolling hills in the background have been deconstructed and simplified into blocks of contrasting shades.

Post-impressionist in nature, the artist has selected a saturated and rich palette – using colours to evoke emotion rather than merely representing the landscape. The use of expressive brushstrokes, combined with a lightly textured surface, contribute to the painting’s dynamic and emotive quality as well.

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

Grapes & Pears
£1,000
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The composition features a golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

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

The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

This tempera on board is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Tram
£625
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet very striking modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts a bustling scene in a city with a tram and some figures strolling in the foreground, and a building motif situated in the background of the painting.

The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the tram, building and figures with a thin black outline, and the painting has a sketch-like quality. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

The painting is characterised by a beautiful rich palette, as well as expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes that reflect the uplifting energy of the city.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has marks to its linen border as shown.

Cup Collective
£350
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A contemporary still life painting that presents a playful arrangement of cups, each uniquely patterned and simplified into bold, graphic silhouettes, painted by British artist Annemarie Derrick in 2025.

The composition features eight cups and mugs, neatly arranged in a grid, their individuality revealed through distinct decorative motifs – spots, stripes, florals, and sunburst designs.

The style is characteristically contemporary with a nod to mid-century design sensibilities, balancing minimalism with whimsy. Executed in a muted palette of greys, creams, and whites, the work is enriched by subtle terracotta accents along the handles and outlines, lending warmth to the restrained tones. The background is painted in a flat, earthy grey that allows the cups to stand forward with quiet presence.

The brushwork is confidently loose and textural, with visible strokes that add depth and tactility to the surface while retaining an intentionally naïve, hand-drawn charm. The simplicity of form and repetition creates a sense of rhythm and order, while the variety of decoration introduces individuality and delight.

This painting is on cradled wooden panel and is presented in a white wooden floating frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Subtle motifs – a scalloped edge, vertical striations, circular accents, and a bold sunburst – lend individuality and rhythm to the composition.

Executed in a restrained palette of muted greys, whites, and soft earthy outlines, the work embraces simplicity while highlighting form and design. The brushstrokes are confident yet textured, leaving slight variations on the surface that lend a tactile quality. The artist’s approach is both modern and whimsical, distilling everyday objects into symbols of quiet domesticity and charm.

Sunny Cup

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking contemporary still life painting that transforms the simplicity of everyday objects into an elegant study of form and balance, by British artist Annemarie Derrick and painted in 2025.

A tall jug, a short cup, a chalice-like cup with a simple sun motif, and a spoon are rendered with clarity and restraint against a muted, structured backdrop.

Rendered in a naïve style, the painting captures stillness and poise. The restrained palette of soft greys, creams, and earthy neutrals brings a timeless quality, while the fine black outlines and deliberate brushwork lend both clarity and texture. The acrylic surface carries a tactile richness, with subtle variations in tone and brushstroke adding depth to the otherwise minimal arrangement.

This acrylic painting is mounted a white wooden floating frame. There is a very tiny area of white on the taller jug, but the painting is in very good condition overall. The frame is in excellent condition.

Geometric Collage with 4 Circles
£380
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.

It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

Abstract Plants
£320
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small and visually impactful semi-abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Lloyd Durling,

The surface is thick with textured impasto, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The composition is divided into vivid colour blocks—warm corals, sunny yellows, soft aquas, and hints of mint—intersected by expressive black and blue marks that suggest organic forms.

Lloyd’s use of thick paint application invites a physical response—you can almost feel the surface just by looking at it. This rich texture adds depth and dynamism, engaging the senses beyond the visual.

The loosely defined forms gives us viewers just enough to begin imagining plants and stems without being literal. Its small size encourages close, personal viewing. It feels like a private experience—something to be studied and absorbed in a quiet moment. A perfect example of how small artworks can carry a big impact.

This impasto painting is mounted a dark stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Lloyd is based in London and his practice is painting-based. His first international solo show was in 2010 at Golden in Chicago and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, Asia and the US. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.

Quiet Expanse
£570
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very atmospheric contemporary abstract composition, painted onto canvas by British artist Nicky Knill Jones.

The painting captures the serene, meditative quality of a wide, open coastal scene. Soft brushstrokes and a muted palette of pale blues, greys, and sandy beiges evoke the stillness of a tidal flat or beach at low tide, where sea and sky blend almost imperceptibly on the horizon.

The composition is horizontal and spacious, with distant, darkened headlands framing the scene and guiding the viewer’s eye gently toward the center. The foreground is rendered in translucent layers, suggesting wet sand and shallow pools reflecting the soft light above. There is a sense of vastness and calm, where time seems suspended.

Overall, the painting conveys peaceful solitude and the quiet grandeur of nature, using minimal detail and harmonious tones to evoke a deeply contemplative atmosphere.

This painting is beautifully presented in a white tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Woman in Repose
£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.

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.

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.

Size: 31 x 35.5 cm (including frame)

Lemon & Pears
£1,000
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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.

This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame and and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is scuffing to corners and edges of the frame, as shown in the close ups.

A small and engaging animal composition , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

The painting features a black and white longhorn cow standing on a softly rolling green hill against a light, muted sky. The cow is shown in side profile, with a calm expression and simple, expressive eyes. Its large curved horns give it a distinctive presence, emphasizing its strength and elegance.

This painting is a charming, rustic folk-art piece that celebrates rural life with a focus on simple forms and earthy colours. The calm presence of the cow, combined with the soft landscape, creates a warm, nostalgic feel, making it a beautiful and timeless representation of pastoral life.

This oil is painted onto panel which although unframed, is meant to be hung as is. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

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.

Sold

SOLD

A small and engaging animal composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

This painting depicts a stylized game bird, standing in profile with a strong and elegant stance. The bird’s plumage is rendered in warm earthy tones, including shades of cream, rust red, and deep brown, creating a visually striking contrast. Its head is sharply defined, with a black beak, a red eye patch, and a piercing gaze that gives it a sense of alertness.

The bird’s legs and talons are bright yellow and its tail feathers are elegantly fanned out in a light cream colour, adding a delicate touch to its otherwise bold appearance.

The background is minimalistic and textured, with a soft, muted beige sky fading into a dark, earthy brown ground, keeping the focus on the central figure.

The artwork is framed in a rustic black wooden frame, which complements the bird’s features and enhances its traditional, handcrafted feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing.

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.

Size: 29.5 x 34 cm (including frame)
