  • In Thought

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A timeless and subtle vintage oil portrait of a nude, executed onto board and dated 1943.

    The painting depicts a woman seated on a raised brown platform. With her hands placed behind her, it almost seems as though she is balancing herself on it.

    Although her facial features are not discernibly painted, there is a sense that she is deep in thought.

    This classic oil portrait features painterly and expressive brushstrokes that have been thoughtfully executed. The artist has used a soft and restrained muted palette that reflects the calm, tender mood of the setting.

    This oil on board is housed in a distressed frame with a moulded inner border , and the colours pair wonderfully with the painting. The painting has a small area of paint loss to the lower left section  by the figure’s hand (as shown in close ups), but the painting and frame are in very good condition otherwise.

  • Reading

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly painted mid century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This artwork depicts a male figure dressed in blue, lying downwards with his hand resting on his cheek, as he reads a book.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos as the artist has deconstructed this everyday scene down to geometric forms as well as contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space.

    The respective geometric shapes have been defined by black outlines as well as expressive diagonal brushstrokes, which further emphasises each individual form and elevates the painting’s overall uniqueness.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some age wear to the inner border but this is in keeping with its overall style and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Study of a Standing Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic modernist style portrait, painted in oil and dated 1964.

    A nude figure is depicted standing on a muted pink platform and against a calming blue background. With her gaze slightly turned, she is back-facing the viewer and caught unaware.

    The artist demonstrates a great aptitude for painting the female body, as he skillfully captures the curves and angles of the figure.

    He has also used artistic techniques of shading and shadowing. These not only add the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality to the painting, but to direct our eyes as the viewer to the focal point of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning grainy wood frame with a double silver window and an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Crowd

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and confidently executed mid century semi abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this scene we see four main figures amongst a blur of people – the artist has left out realistic details, and focused instead on colour, form and texture. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.

    The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Portrait in Purple

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A semi abstract mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1943.

    This unique portrait features an abstracted figure with his hands together, depicted in a painterly style. Loose and broad brushstrokes have been applied in several layers, created a wonderful depth, complexity and illumination to the painting. As we take the time to study the painting, the varying layers slowly reveal themselves, giving us an insight into the artist’s process.

    Just as unique as the painting is the frame in which it is housed in. Set in a purple-blue frame with decorative indents evenly spaced around the frame, it adds a real element of interest to the painting and also complements the colour palette of the painting beautifully.

    Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is some minor wear to the inner window of the frame but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Expecting

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rather charming mid century modernist portrait composition in oil.

    Here the artist has paid full attention to the sitter – an expectant mother. The painting has a timeless quality to it – we are not given any context of place or time. Yet the paradox here is that we know this is capturing a very particular moment in time and a very particular scenario that is relatable to many. The artist has not included the sitter’s facial details, choosing instead to focus on her form, and the way the light hits her body and her dress.

    This beautifully sentimental painting has a quiet strength to it, capturing a very special moment in time. It is housed in a lovely gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some areas which have been painted over, as seen in the close up photos.

  • In the Park

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun and playful mid century figurative street scene composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This modernist composition depicts several figures within a park scene. We see three figures seated on a bench, a lady in a pink dress walking by, and a group of children playing in the foreground. The composition is relaxed and lighthearted, capturing the lovely feel of a weekend in a park. The colour palette of pastel colours adds to the jolly feeling of the painting,

    This piece would look wonderful in a nursery or a children’s room.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some general wear and overall signs of ageing, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

  • Natter

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small and very well-executed mid century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, we can discern what appears to be 2 well-dressed figures sitting outdoors, engaging in a conversation.

    All realistic details have been omitted, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as brushstrokes and colour.

    The painting exudes liveliness – brought about by the rich earthy palette including green, blue and brown, as well as the energetic and expressive brushstrokes that leave a light textural quality to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wide profile wood frame. The artwork is in very good vintage condition, and the frame corners have slight widening to joints.

  • Say a Little Prayer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding modernist style composition of a church window, executed in oil onto board.

    Depicting four figures in a prayerful gesture, the painting models the appearance of a stained glass window, whereby the overall composition has been segmented into fragments of different shapes and sizes.

    Using visible painterly brushstrokes, the artist has painted the blocks in contrasting saturated colours with bold outlines to help create a sense of depth to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen and gilt window that pairs very well with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Åmotsdal

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A vibrant and expressive mid-century modernist style nature landscape painting, executed in oil in 1961.

    The artwork displays a landscape composition of Åmotsdal, a valley and small village in Norway, where 2 houses are depicted in nature with mountains in the background.

    The artist has successfully conveyed the lushness and vibrancy of this nature landscape – as rich and saturated colours in green, blue and brown have been applied to the board through the use of expressive and lively brushstrokes that add a nice texture overall.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited grey frame that has an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are areas of chips and scuffs on the frame, particularly at the bottom (as shown in the images).

  • Around the Fire

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A warm and embracing mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Falling under the umbrella of ‘genre painting’ or ‘narrative art’, this wonderful painting tells us a story. A group of people sit around a fire, watching a man in a hat play the guitar. Our view point places us (the viewer) very much a within the scene, as if we too are sitting in this circle, listening to the musician. In the forefront we see a couple with the man’s arm around his partner. The figures facing are painted in golden light, emitting the warm glow from the crackling fire in front of them.  The colours of the fire can also be seen again the musician’s hat, face and guitar.  The background is an cobalt blue, capturing the essence of the night sky.

    The painting is housed in a complementary silver frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • On the Metro

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and playful mid century  British modernist oil composition of several figures on the metro in Paris, painted onto artist’s board.

    The colourful composition has a fun, childlike quality to it that makes it  a joy to look at. Although seemingly simple and ‘naive’ at first glace, it is in fact a very well executed painting. The composition and use of colours is perfectly balanced, and very satisfying to look at. Despite the lack of realistic details or colouring, we very quickly understand what we’re looking at. The artist has captured an everyday scene of rush hour on the Metro, but has incorporated a wonderful expressionist style to the piece.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to its edges.

  • Walking By

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a soothing lighter coloured background, the composition of the painting is punctuated by a group of tall figures in bold and striking colours walking by.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures have been simplified and abstracted down to geometric shapes, painterly brushstrokes, and rich colours.

    Expressive gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist displays and an excellent use of colour. Although working with a limited palette including reds, yellow and orange, he has skilfully applied and layered lighter and darker hues of each colour to create a harmonious, lively and well-balanced painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is in stable condition overall.

  • Seated Figure

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed oil portrait, painted onto canvas in 1966.

    Painted in an expressionist style, broad and painterly brushstrokes make up this striking composition of a seated figure. The artist has left out realistic details,  focusing instead on the shape, form and lines of the figure. He has captured the way the light falls on the figure, using an almost post-impressionist colour palette to depict the areas of shadow on light on the figure’s coat. The artist has left the background indistinct, but has used a palette that plays off the colours on the figure wonderfully. There is a very harmonious balance in the overall composition of this painting, making it a real pleasure to look at.

    The painting is housed in dark brown frame with a an inner linen lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition. Please note that the lighter looking areas in the photos are not to do with any issues in the painting, but due instead to glare from natural light when taking the photos.

  • Woman at Desk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and gentle mid-century modernist portrait, executed in oil.

    The composition depicts a female figure in a green dress who has a book placed on her lap. Set against a blueish-grey background, she is sitting on a chair and is beside a brown desk.

    Although an everyday scene, there is something alluring about the simplicity of the scene of which the artist has wonderfully captured.

    All realistic details have been omitted, and the artist has simplified the composition down to painterly elements such as shape, form and colour. In addition to using a restrained soft colour palette, he has also intentionally left the canvas surrounding the female’s silhouette unpainted, adding character to the piece.

    This oil on canvas laid on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are areas of scuff and paint loss across the frame, particularly at the right side.

  • Nude with Blue

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sensitively painted mid century oil, painted onto board.

    A female figure is depicted sitting on a wooden chair, her gaze turned away from us. Expressive and distinct brushwork has been skilfully used to paint this composition – the artist has successfully captured the form of the body, as well as the way the light hits the figure’s skin. Juxtaposed against the neutral and beige tones of the figure is ablue fabric that has been hung over the chair. This pop of colour not only creates a focal point for our eyes, but also brings a cohesiveness to the composition.

    There is a timelessness to this picture that will make it a fine addition to any interior.

  • Figure in Pastel

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed nude figure study in pastel, framed behind glass.

    This nude study captures the female form elegantly and expressively. The artist has used long, narrow lines to outline the form, and used hatching to capture the three dimensionality of the  form of the body, giving the drawing a sculptural quality. A different technique has been used to fill in the background – it seems the artist has used the pastel to colour over a textured surface to create a dappled effect.

    The pastel has been beautifully framed in a wood and gilt frame, and is set behind glass to protect the vulnerability of the medium. Both pastel and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Ladies Lunch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking and brilliantly mid century cubist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting depicts two female figures seated at a balcony table, with a jug and two glasses in front of them. Beyond the balcony is an ocean view with the setting sun.

    The artist has reduced the scene down to its formal qualities, focusing on shape, line, pattern and colour. The figures and the scene surrounding them have been painted from multiple angles under a cubist ethos, resulting in a composition that appears fragmented and abstracted. The artist has also restricted his colour palette, using a majority of vivid red, brown, white and orange in different tones. Notwithstanding the fragmentation and palette, the painting is wonderfully balanced and sings with harmony.

    This piece would make a very striking addition to any interior and would be a real statement piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some damage to the inner section of its lower right corner, as shown in the close up photos.
