  • Cubist Harbour

    £1,130

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only

    A visually striking mid-century modernist composition of a harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A body of water occupies the middle ground of the canvas. Lining the water are numerous boats, their forms captured in black silhouettes that stand out against the restrained palette of blues and creams. In the foreground, the water’s edge is populated by shadowy figures of people, their silhouettes painted in the same muted black. The background is dominated by blocks of buildings outlined in bold black lines, further emphasising their structured, almost architectural quality.

    Masterfully containing elements of geometric abstraction and cubism, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the scene down to geometric shapes in contrasting colours to demonstrate a sense of depth and interest to the painting.

    The use of a restrained palette, primarily blues, blacks, with hints of creams, along with the bold outlines and smooth brushstrokes, creates a composition that is both cohesive and dynamic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. There is a light surface mark at the top right section of the painting, as well as a small area of paint loss at the top edge of the painting, as shown in photos. The frame has some age wear and scuffing.

    A  wonderfully textured figurative composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1976.

    A figure is captured in the act of serving a drink. The figure blends seamlessly into an abstract backdrop where shades of white, light blue, greens and brown overlay one another. He or she appears as a natural extension of this delicate environment, and by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the figure’s form.

    The subtle colours, applied with loose and unrestrained brushstrokes, create a textural and visually stimulating surface. Its expressive nature also evokes a sense of movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the scene.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with multiple ridges. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 58 x 43 cm (including frame)

    A brilliantly painted mid century figurative portrait of 2 priests, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Working with a restrained and muted colour palette, the artist has flattened the respective forms, reducing them down to blocks of contrasting shades. Despite the minor tonal differences, there is a wonderful sense of depth within the picture. The artist has included a shadow in sepia in the background. This figurative painting certainly has a timeless quality to it.

    All Together

    Original price was: £445.Current price is: £380.

    A richly textured mid-century abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Simple yet effective in its composition, a group of enigmatic figures takes center stage, and are set against a light grey background.

    The figures, presented as silhouettes, are defined by striking black outlines that lend them an air of mystery and abstraction. Utilising contrasting tones of brown, yellow, and blue, and these subtle hints of colours help to convey a sense of depth and also emphasise the three-dimensional qualities of the figures. The artist has also skillfully applied loose and textured brushstrokes – using the impasto technique to create a visually raw and tactile surface

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning gold frame with an inner grey border that suits the painting perfectly. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 55 x 64.5 cm (including frame)

    Priests in Greece

    Original price was: £655.Current price is: £560.

    Available

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and striking mid-century modernist painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a charming street scene at Patmos in Greece. In the foreground, two priests in black robes first draw our attention. In the background of the painting, a figure and a donkey can be seen strolling on a pathway lined with white buildings with colourful arches.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has flattened the respective forms, reducing them down to blocks of contrasting shades to demonstrate depth and a sense of space to the painting.

    A spectrum of uplifting colours have been used, and the brushstrokes are gentle, evoking a soothing and relaxing quality to the painting.

    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 form.

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

    Size:  85 x 75 cm (including frame)

    The Pair

    Original price was: £480.Current price is: £405.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very unique mid century modernist oil composition of two figures, painted onto canvas by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The artist has flattened the surface, reducing the figures down into planes of pastel colour, that fit together like a puzzle. The palette is restrained, using a range of light blues, greys and browns. To add depth to the picture, the painting is filled with these vertical patterns, that are almost like seams that open up to reveal layers of colour underneath.

    This very interesting composition is unframed but can be hung as is. The painting has some scattered craquelure, commensurate with age. The craquelure does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.
