    A very elegant mid century modernist floral oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    In this floral piece we have light pink tulips in a blue vase, painted in an expressionist style. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in  a range of soft, pastel colours make up this composition. The flowers and vase is set against a background of light blue and pink, which transitions into a richer blue as we move down the canvas. There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which is really easy on the eye. Floral pieces like these have a timelessness to them which make them in an easy fit in many interior settings. The lightness to this one would certainly uplift the mood of a space.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited frame with a linen lined border as well as an inner gilt border which illuminates the painting wonderfully. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor age wear.

    Size: 38 x 32 cm (including frame)

  • Apples & Stripes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderful trio of modernist still life oils , each signed and dated 1969 by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    In this set of 3 paintings, we have apples set against a classic blue and white stripe background. The pastel pinks, reds and yellows contrast against the blue and white beautifully. The softer, curved forms of the apples also juxtapose against the harder, angular lines of the stripes.

    This trio can be arranged in any way you wish – vertically, horizontal, or in a random order. The set is very versatile and would look good in many spaces, including a kitchen setting or even a children’s bedroom.

    Each oil is housed in a wooden frame. All 3 paintings and their frames are in good vintage condition.

    Sizes :
    Top 21.5×29.5cm (including frame)
    Middle 18.5×26.5cm (including frame)
    Bottom 18×32.5cm (including frame)

  • Pears & Jug

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still life in oil, painted by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public collections across Sweden.

    In this excellent composition, three pears, a white jug, and a few other chestnut-like objects are laid out on a wooden surface. Working with a rich colour palette comprising shades of yellow, green, brown and white, as well as detailed and precise brushstrokes, the artist has skilfully captured the three-dimensional qualities of the objects and the intricate grain on the wood, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

    This oil on board is very well presented within a thick mount board and a slim gilt frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life, Painted Objects

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful still life composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick, oil pastel and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.  

     

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • Yellow Flowers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small and very striking mid century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    In this simple yet effective composition, the artist draws our attention to a pot of bright yellow flowers in the centre of the painting, set against a darker coloured interior setting.

    Painted in a modernist style, each form has been outlined with bold black outlines, emphasising each individual form as well as its three-dimensional quality. Deep, rich and vivid colours have been applied to the surface with broad and expressive brushstrokes, leaving a wonderful light textural and painterly effect to the painting.

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

  • The Green Apple

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small yet striking well-executed modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Confident, expressive brushstrokes in rich colours have been applied to create this still life composition featuring a green apple on a brown plate, placed atop a table and set against a bold green background.

    The artist displays his artistic skills – thoughtfully using a blend and mix of colours to emphasise the objects’ three-dimensional qualities as well as to capture their reflection on the table.

    The painting is housed in a complementary grey wood frame with an inner gilt window that illuminates the painting. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 31 x 36 cm (including frame)

  • Asters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This sweet still life of blue and yellow asters in vase is full of texture and character. The artist has used a palette knife to thickly apply the paint, creating a composition full of depth and dynamism. The painting and its frame have a quaint country vibe, and its imperfections give it a rustic look that add to its charm.

    The painting is fixed to its original mount and frame, which dates to the mid 20th century. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some areas of wear and loss but this does not detract from the painting, and if anything adds to its vintage charm.

    Size: 34 x 39 cm (including frame)

  • Apples and Pears

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming miniature oil still life of unassuming apples and pears. This compact painting features rich colouring and texture, and is housed in a wonderful wood and gilt vintage effect frame.

    Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.

    This original miniature oil is in excellent condition.

    Size: 18.5 x 23.5 cm (including frame)
