  • Blue Ballerinas

    £1,175

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding 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 painting captures a scene of two ballerinas in striking blue tutus and ballet shoes, surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, the artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette, the artist has reduced the area around the ballerinas to angular planes in different gradients of brown. The layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting has a light surface mark at its lower central area of painting (as shown), but the painting is overall in good vintage condition. There is a small nick to inner border of the frame, as shown.

  • In the Shadows

    £750

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid-century abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto board.

    A figure standing in an interior setting, with one hand resting on a raised platform, punctuates the center of the composition.

    The figure, depicted in a fleeting silhouette, stands in the shadows, revealing only half of its form. Abstract in nature, all realistic details are deliberately omitted, allowing the viewer to focus on the expressive and powerful brushwork, as well as the rich and limited colour palette that evokes a sense of mystery and introspection.

    This masterpiece is a dance of contrasts, where the interplay of light and dark takes center stage and helps to demonstrate depth and balance to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing, in keeping with its overall vintage style.

  • Helene

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliant modernist-style figurative painting of a nude, executed in oil and dated 1961.

    The composition captures a standing nude within a minimalist interior setting. Placed against lightly-coloured walls, the absence of extraneous details draws attention to the portrayal of the subject.

    The standing figure, bathed in muted and naturalistic tones, emanates a quiet elegance. The colour palette, delicately chosen, imparts a softness to the painting, creating an atmosphere of subtle intimacy.

    The artist employs expressive and distinct brushstrokes with confidence, skillfully rendering the three-dimensional qualities of the standing nude. The use of varying shades within each brushstroke highlights the contours of her form, allowing the viewer to appreciate the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Furthermore, the artist’s deliberate omission of her facial features directs our focus to her graceful form.

    This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, is housed in a complementary frame with a hessian lined outer border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing to its inner window.

  • In the Shadows

    £505

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive and visually captivating abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1973.

    Small yet impactful, a standing abstracted figure punctuates the center of the composition. The figure is skilfully defined with subtle black outlines that emphasize its silhouette. The use of these outlines adds a sense of distinction to the composition.

    The figure stands boldly against a backdrop of muted greys and blues, which has been executed with broad and expressive brushstrokes. These brushstrokes convey a sense of movement and emotion, and the limited and somber palette of greys and blues evokes a sense of melancholia.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a slim silver frame which complements the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very striking and emotive mid-century figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting portrays a silhouette of a solitary figure, bathed in a luminous yellow hue. The figure stands boldly against a profound dark backdrop infused with subtle yet striking hints of blue, red, and white. These background shades evoke a sense of mystery and depth, lending an air of ambiguity to the composition.

    Painted in an abstract manner, all realistic details including facial features have been purposefully omitted, and the artist has used the power of brushstroke and colour to highlight emotion.

    What’s most striking is the masterful use of highly expressive and painterly brushstrokes, that have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece.

  • Affection

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tender and captivating mid-century figurative painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1944.

    A female figure in a flowing red dress that is seated is the focal point of the composition and first captures our attention.

The bodies of the woman and baby meld together, forming a harmonious unity and symbolising the timeless bond between mother and child. They are set against vibrant orange and yellow hues with subtle hints of green and blue in the backdrop.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has omitted all realistic details and has also deliberately omitted the facial features of the figures. The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes executed with vigour and confidence adds a beautiful textural quality to the painting, and the rich and vibrant colours heightens the emotionally charged atmosphere.

    The Pair

    Original price was: £480.Current price is: £400.

    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.

    Cubist Dancer

    Original price was: £700.Current price is: £595.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very charming mid century figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Characterised by a cubist ethos, a ballet dancer stands starkly against an abstracted and fragmented background. The artist has broken down the painted surface into distinct planes, suggesting the three dimensionality of the space while also skilfully emphasising the flatness of the canvas. The white leotard of the figure stands out amidst the darker tones of the coloured background. Her form, though fluid, blends in seamlessly with the hard angled shapes of the background.

    There is a wonderful timeless quality to this painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There is very slight wear to the edges of the painting due to the frame (as see in close ups). Otherwise, the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and beautifully textured abstract figurative oil composition, painted in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The painting is characterised by textured and expressive brushstrokes, as well as the use of an intentionally limited yet rich colour palette. Warm and fiery shades of orange, and yellow, as well as dark brown dominate the painting. The colours of the background thoughtfully echos the hues of the figures, blurring the lines between the subjects and their environment. This intentional colour integration unifies the painting and reinforces the theme of interconnectedness.

  • Portrait in Sepia

    £520

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.

    With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture. Behind the figure appear several more heads, so we get a sense that she is perhaps standing amongst a crowd, but the artist has chosen her specifically as the protagonist of the painting.

    £390

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fun and unique mid century oil painting on canvas, titled ‘Le Club 55’ on reverse.

    Le Club 55 is a legendary and glamorous beach club in the south of France, and we can infer that the setting of the painting is within its interior.

    Double Sided Portrait I

    Original price was: £195.Current price is: £165.

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intriguing double sided oil on board:  one side depicts a pair of women looking into a book, and the other side features a striking single portrait of a woman.

    The painting of the two ladies with the book is very textured, with multi directional and distinct brushstrokes creating a very dynamic and layered image. On the other side, the portrait of the woman is smoother in texture overall, but still has a very three dimensional effect. The woman has an air of mystery about her, leaving us wondering what she might be thinking about.

    Painted onto board, both paintings are in very good vintage condition and can be displayed on either side. There is some slight paint loss to the very edges of the board but certainly does not detract from the overall charm of either picture. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf.

    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.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful dark wood frame that has an inner gilt window which illuminates the painting within it. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 60 x 48 cm (including frame)

    A richly textured and endearing mid century modernist style figurative portrait, painted in oil onto board.

    Rendered in an expressionist manner, the artwork depicts 5 young figures, presumably children, of which each respective form has been outlined in black in a sketch-like manner.

    The artist has used a unique sepia tone palette with hints of green, blue and grey. Expressive and unrestrained brushstrokes have been loosely applied and layered upon one another, adding interest and a raw and textural quality to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 36.5 x 66 cm (including frame)
