An emotive mid-century figurative painting that captures a procession of elongated figures moving through a softly lit interior space, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rendered with a dreamlike sense of motion, the figures appear to overlap and dissolve into one another, suggesting the quiet anonymity and rhythm of everyday life. One central figure, subtly more defined and luminous, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s eye, creating a moment of pause amid the flow.

There is an emphasis on mood and gesture over precise detail. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, lending the scene an introspective, almost existential quality reminiscent of post-war European figurative painting.

The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by warm creams, sand, soft browns, and muted greys, with gentle accents of pale blue and hints of earthy green. These tones enhance the painting’s sense of light and space, while maintaining a calm, contemplative mood.

Brushstrokes are loose, layered, and expressive, with visible textures that give the figures a transient presence. The paint is applied with a dry, feathered touch in places, allowing the background to breathe through the forms, reinforcing the impression of movement and impermanence.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm, off-white tone frame that echoes the painting’s palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An enigmatic contemporary figurative painting that presents two semi-abstracted figures, rendered in broad, raw brushstrokes, and executed in oil onto board.

The central figure dominates the composition with a pale pink face, its expression subdued and introspective, clothed in a deep block of black that anchors the work. To the left, a second, fainter visage emerges – its features less defined, almost spectral – set against a backdrop of intense crimson.

The style is deeply expressionistic, favouring emotional resonance over realism. The artist has used loose, textured brushwork, allowing streaks of paint to drag and layer across the surface. The palette is limited but powerful: saturated reds, stark black, white, and fleshy pinks combine to create a mood of tension and vulnerability. The contrast between the figures and the turbulent background enhances the sense of psychological depth, suggesting themes of presence and absence, solitude and companionship.

This is a painting that invites reflection – it conveys both fragility and unease, capturing fleeting, human emotions with raw immediacy.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary slim wood frame frame. Both the painting and frame are in very good condition.

Size: 41.5 x 33.5 cm (including frame)

A warm and nostalgic figurative composition depicting a lively market scene, painted in oil onto board, framed and ready to hang.

The loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold yet slightly muted colours give it an impressionistic feel. The figures appear in mid-conversation or activity, creating a sense of movement and casual everyday life.

The central figure, a woman in a black top and green skirt, appears calm and composed. She draws the viewer’s eye and provides a human anchor amid the busier setting. The background shows fragmented architecture, sunlight, and possibly docks or sails, all rendered in a painterly, almost abstract way.

The painting conveys a sense of sunlight and warmth, and the bustle of everyday life.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some light marks to the frame.
