  • 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.

    Size: 31 x 35.5 cm (including frame)

    An engaging abstract composition by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, executed in acrylic onto board and dated 2024.
    This painting captures the colours and feelings of walking through the English village of Lacock, a walk Frances does regularly, past the darting house martins down east street, onto the ford and adjacent stream, tops dipping into the water, many attempting to walk over the slippery stones, up the hill and over the top field with views of lush countryside ahead.

  • 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.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang,

    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.

  • Nature’s Abstraction

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully executed minimalist abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 2012.

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

    All realistic details have been omitted, and the artist prioritises mood and atmosphere and she presents an abstract interpretation of nature.

    The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including whites, pale pinks, creams, and yellows, contrasted by darker blacks and greens. These colours suggest tranquility and balance, reinforcing the serene mood of the painting.

    The brushwork is loose and varied, with areas of thicker application and visible texture contrasting with smoother, more blended sections. The expressive, gestural strokes create movement and depth, while the layering of paint adds a tactile quality.

  • Figures in Motion

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed abstract figurative oil composition painted 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.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting features a group of figures rendered in a simplified and indistinct manner, suggesting movement or interaction in a serene, almost dreamlike environment.

    Abstract in nature, the figures are obscured, and their forms are perceptible only through carefully applied brushstrokes and contrasting colours which hint at their structure.

    The muted palette is dominated by soft tones of beige, cream, and light blue, accented by darker shades of black. These colours create a harmonious and calming composition while adding a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

    The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, applied with a sense of spontaneity and emotion.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

  • Geometric Fun

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original abstract artwork, made up of paper that has painted, embroidered and then stitched together.

    The paper has been stitched to create a three dimensional form that is mounted onto board and protected behind glass. The paper has been painted with an abstract composition using acrylic paint, and each alternating strip has been painted with different colours. As a result, the artwork changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. If viewed from the right, we see a geometric patterning of red, black and yellow. When viewed from the left, a series of angled lines criss-cross across the lighter coloured surface. Although it is technically a static piece, we have in fact a very dynamic artwork that changes constantly. The paper itself has also been embroidered with an intricate pattern which gives it textured detail, visible when viewed closely.

    The artwork is presented in a black frame and protected behind glass. It is in very good condition. Ready to hang.

The brushstrokes are fluid, with the exception of little black droplet marks that add interest and depth to the piece. The pinks in the painting reveal slowly as one takes the time to look at and take in the painting.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary natural wood tray frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent 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.

    Sold

    SOLD

    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 grid consists of six distinct blocks in a mix of muted blues, whites, grays, and earthy reds, contrasting subtly against the warm, burnt sienna or rust-colored background. The grid arrangement is asymmetrical, giving the piece a sense of modernist abstraction while maintaining an organic, handmade feel.

    The rough, textured background and carefully arranged geometric shapes suggest an aesthetic influenced by wabi-sabi, Bauhaus, or modernist minimalism, emphasizing simplicity, imperfection, and material presence. The painting has a calm, meditative quality, inviting contemplation of form, texture, and colour relationships.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang,

    SOLD

    A small but impactful mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and framed behind glass.

    This painting is an abstract composition with a focus on texture and earthy tones, dominated by dark brown and black tones with hints of green and olive. A patch of light beige appears on the right side, creating contrast and breaking up the darker hues.

    The paint is thickly applied in some areas, emphasizing movement and adding depth through the use of bold, gestural strokes. The textured surface suggests an exploration of form and materiality.

    The piece conveys a sense of mystery and organic forms, with an emphasis on tactile qualities and abstraction. It evokes natural elements like soil or bark, blending a moody color scheme with a contemplative, textured aesthetic.

    The painting is surrounded by a cream card mount within a simple light wood frame, which complements the earthy tones of the artwork. It is framed behind glass. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

There is a wonderful play of angles, line and shapes, creating different planes of colour that combine really well. The figures appear to be sitting on a river bank, with one figure looking out towards the water. The artist has contrasted the richer, earthier colours of green, brown and dark blue, against the lighter blue of the background which alludes to the water or sky.

    The oil on canvas board is presented in a gilt frame that suits it very well. There is a light crease line on the canvas that has been laid to the board but this is does not detract from the overall appearance.

  • Untitled

    Sold

    SOLD

    A unique abstract collograph by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, executed with carbon black oil on fabriano printmaking paper, and beautifully presented in a double card mount with blue detail, within a gilt frame.

    This collograph is described as such because the base of the plate is cardboard rather than metal. Frances would have started with a shiny surface, carving away to reveal the matt surface underneath. This is an intaglio method where the ink stays within the recess, once the plate is sealed and inked up it is then printed through a press; a heavy metal roller on a flat bed. The pressure transfers the print onto dampened paper. With this particular print Frances used papers and texture to add colour while the plate was printed in carbon black oil based ink on fabriano printmaking paper. She decided to only print this plate once which is why it’s a 1/1 , making it entirely unique.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

    Size: 32 x 37 cm (including frame)

  • Whispers of Dusk

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small yet impactful mid-century abstract landscape that captivates with its subtle beauty and emotional depth, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The painting draws the viewer into a tranquil scene which suggests a landscape setting. In the foreground, earthy browns anchor the composition, hinting at land or perhaps a field. The middle and background are dominated by soft, light hues of sky, where gentle pinks and purples intermingle, evoking the serene moments of dusk.

    The artist’s loose and sweeping brushstrokes give the work a dynamic quality. The painting’s textural surface, achieved through the thoughtful layering of paint, adds depth and and invites viewers to explore its subtleties.

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

    Size: 27 x 31 cm (including frame)

  • The Peach

    Sold

    SOLD

    A bold and visually striking mini geometric abstract painting, executed in acrylic onto canvas and dated 2019.

    Small yet very impactful in its composition, the painting boldly explores the interplay of geometric shapes and the allure of rich and saturated colours.

    The canvas comes alive as it presents a visual and rhythmic dance of forms in different shapes and sizes. Each shape has been meticulously rendered and thoughtfully coloured so that they harmonise well together to create a delicate balance between order and chaos.

    This acrylic on canvas is housed in a complementary slim white frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size:  25.5 x 20 cm (including frame)
