    A brilliant mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are gentle, soft, and precise, reflecting a careful attention to detail. The overall muted and earthy colours create a subdued and warmth atmosphere. The lady’s small and striking red lips as well as the play of flat geometric shapes in the composition are typical of the artist Lundqvist’s style.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still life painting in tempera, painted in 1953 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

  • Patched

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas around the 1960s.

    The painting is full of textural detail, as the artist has added an aggregate to certain areas (possibly sand or bitumen), creating a gritty and three dimensional effect in those areas. In other areas, large swathes of smooth creamy paint have been applied, in a restricted colour palette. The artist has worked in deep, rich tones and has used a myriad of curved forms to create the composition. There appears to be two figures, with one perhaps embracing another. However, the artist has chosen to focus on the formal elements of the picture such as shape, form and line, resulting in this largely abstract picture.

    This oil on canvas  is presented in a very well suited gilt frame. The painting has some light craquelure to the areas of impasto but the paint layer is very stable as shown in the close photos. It is in very good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 82 x 71cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures are devoid of realistic details, yet their expressive forms convey a sense of fluidity.

    The warmth emanating from the rich colour palette infuses the composition with a sense of energy and radiance. Short and expressive brushstrokes animate the figures, imbuing them with a dynamic quality that contrasts with the static setting.

  • Lone

    £820

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well done mid century modernist portrait composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A single seated figure sits alone, looking out as us viewers. Her expression is gentle, yet there seems to be a sternness about her – her hands sit clasped atop a table. Her elongated figure is reminiscent of Modigliani, but overall composition also brings to mind the painting ‘Whistler’s Mother’. She has that same steady gaze as well as an air of infinite patience.

    Above her is a monochrome portrait of a male figure, which could be her late husband. Perhaps one of the most brilliant aspects of this painting is what is to her right – the netted voile curtains. The artist has captured the texture of it wonderfully, and we also see  little plant pot on the window sill which adds a homeliness to the painting.

    Overall, the painting is brilliantly executed and exudes such a distinctive character.

    This oil on board is housed in a dark gilt frame which suits it wonderfully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition .

    A wonderfully executed mid-century figurative portrait, painted in mixed media on paper.

    The central figure, donned in a red cap / scarf, is resting on a lounge chair with arms crossed. The artist has employed a distinctive sketch-like quality, outlining the figure and chair with thin black lines that evoke a sense of movement and spontaneity.

    The portrait is brought to life through the delicate use of watercolour and gouache, creating a translucent and diaphanous effect.

    Swift and confident brushstrokes contribute to the dynamic atmosphere, suggesting a balance between careful consideration and the fleeting nature of the moment.

    This ink, gouache and watercolour on paper is housed in a blue grey wood frame with a mount card and inner gilt window, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    A very large mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    In this large abstract composition we see a myriad of shapes coalescing and connecting to form a whole. The forms present seem to act on each other – putting pressure on each other, shrinking each other, enlarging another, as if the forms themselves were active participants. Each shape has a role in the total organism, each one is holding the other up, supporting the whole. As a result the picture has a palpable energy – the forms and shapes almost appear to be moving around the canvas, shapeshifting and amalgamating.

    This large abstract painting is presented in  a grey mount and a champagne frame. There are some minor marks on the painting and mount.

    A wonderful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Two figures with baskets on their heads are depicted through the use of broad and distinct brushstrokes. The artist has omitted realistic detailing, opting instead to focus on the forms, shape and colour of the figures and their surroundings. The palette is muted, with the use of darker blues and purple set against areas of white. The vertical orientation of this painting makes it ideal for narrow spaces, and its distinctive modernist style of painting and frame will certainly make it a statement piece.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt and linen window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the linen border has some slight wear and age toning present.
