    Three Pears

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist still life painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1966.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents three pears against a blue background. The pears, rendered in soft yellows and greens, are arranged in a balanced yet dynamic grouping, with subtle shadows anchoring them in space.

    This piece is executed in a modernist style, with a strong emphasis on shape, light, and composition rather than realistic details. The artist has used a painterly approach with visible, angular brushstrokes that add a sense of structure and depth to the forms.

    The colour palette is harmonious, featuring warm tones for the fruit contrasting beautifully against the cool blue background.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood and gilt frame with multiple profiles, that suits the painting very well. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Olives

    Sold

    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 central area features overlapping layers of dark paint, applied with visible, expressive brushstrokes. Two circular green forms are visible, possibly resembling abstracted fruit nestled within the darker layers.

    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.

    Pears & Pipe

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed and characterful mid-century 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 artwork features a still life arrangement, including a bowl of pears and a lemon, a brown pitcher, and a white pipe. These objects rest on a wooden table, with a checkered floor and an abstracted interior in the background, which includes a bright blue doorway and a polka-dotted wall.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the painting blends realism and cubist influences, through 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. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The Apple
