    Red Amaryllis

    Sold

    SOLD

    An uplifting and expressive mid-century modernist still life painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition features a vibrant arrangement of red amaryllis flowers placed in a green jug, set against an abstracted background.

    Sold

    SOLD

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

    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 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.

    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.
