    An expressive mid-century nude figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A standing nude figure, with their back turned to the viewer and unaware of the observer’s presence, punctuates the center of the composition. The figure’s graceful silhouette is set against a backdrop of soothing green walls and a home setting adorned with intricate patterns.

    The artist has worked in an expressive manner, using loose and scribble-like brushstrokes to convey the raw emotion and fleeting nature of the scene.

    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 wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffing present.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and wonderfully painted expressive modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A male figure dressed in a costume and wearing a baroque mask punctuates the centre of the painting. He is in character and is depicted in action, as he performs on a stage.

    The artist has worked with a calm and restrained colour palette comprising light shades of blue, white and grey, and has skilfully paired the contrasting tones that not only harmonise so beautifully together, but also highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the respective forms.

    This oil on board is housed in a wide-profile textured frame that pairs perfectly with the painting. The painting has some areas of losses to the top section, as shown in close ups. The frame has some losses and wear, including an area to the top part of the inner frame slip, as shown in photos.

    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.

    The Pair

    £480

    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.

  • Nude on Couch (Very Large)

    Nude on Couch (Very Large)

    £850

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A quirky and heavily textured mid-century figurative composition, painted on oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition offers a captivating glimpse into an interior setting where a nude figure reclines upon a couch, her posture relaxed with one knee raised. The subject’s gaze turns away, caught unaware.

    The couch where the figure lays captures our attention. Adorned with a striking floral print motif in shades of green and pink, it adds a dynamic burst of colour against the neutral backdrop.

    Beneath the figure, the floor unfolds in a black and white chequered board pattern. An apple with a single bite taken from it rests on the floor, introducing a subtle narrative element.

    Overall, it is a very thoughtful and interesting composition, with meticulous attention to detail as well as refined and heavily textured brushstrokes.

    This painting comes unframed, and is an oil that has been painted onto canvas which has been laid down to board, making the painting quite heavy. There is craquelure present to the upper left as shown due to thickness of paint.

    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.

    The Lonely Diner

    £630

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1962.

    The focal point of the painting is a lonesome figure, dressed entirely in black, seated alone by a table, seemingly in anticipation of a meal. The background is awash with expressive brushstrokes in a deep, dark turquoise hue, evoking a sense of emotional depth and intensity.

    Through the interplay of expressive brushwork and rich colours, the painting poignantly conveys the profound emotional state of the solitary figure, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the contemplative atmosphere of the scene.

  • Portrait in Sepia

    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.

    This oil on board is housed in original mid century gilt frame with linen border. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

    Tribe

    £750

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, bold and striking figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1976, and comes unframed.

    The composition captures a moment of communal life as it presents a gathering of a tribe. Some members are seated in the foreground, surrounded by an abundance of fruit, fish, and drinks, while others stand behind them, holding baskets and jugs.

    The artist has employed a restrained yet striking palette of orange, red, white, and black. The deep black of the figures contrasts beautifully against the fiery hues, creating a dynamic and visually arresting composition.

    The clothing of the figures is adorned with patterns, including stripes, adding to the richness and depth of the piece. The artist’s technique of using dark outlines to highlight the forms enhances the clarity and definition of each individual and object.

    Close to a metre in width, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

    This oil on canvas comes unframed and can be hung as is. It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Comfort

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive figurative composition capturing an intimate moment between two figures seated side by side on a bench, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2000.

    Through the exploration of abstract and expressive techniques in figurative art, the artwork captures the essence of human connection through gesture, colour, and brushstroke, rather than explicit representation.

    The artist, using an expressive style, has purposefully omitted the facial details of the figures, drawing attention to the body language and the emotional connection between the two. One woman has her arm gently around the back of the other, suggesting a sense of comfort.

    The painting is characterised by loose, energetic brushwork that brings a dynamic quality to the scene. The limited colour palette, dominated by shades of blue, green, and yellow, creates a harmonious yet vibrant atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a unique sage green frame with an inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Glowing Silhouette

    £390

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet striking mid-century semi-abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting centers around a silhouette of an illuminating standing figure rendered in shades of yellow. This luminous form stands in stark contrast against a rich brown backdrop, creating a captivating focal point that draws the viewer’s eye.

    The artist’s use of a restrained palette, consisting primarily of browns and yellows, emphasises the interplay of the contrasting shades, allowing the figure’s form to stand out further.

    The composition’s simplicity is balanced by the expressive and beautifully textured brushwork, which adds depth and dynamism to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame with multiple profiles, that complements and enhances the warm tones of the artwork. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A beautifully textured and confidently executed mid-century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, five figures of differing heights are depicted standing together. All realistic details have been intentionally left out, focusing our attention instead on colour, form and texture.

    The artist has worked boldly in his medium of oil, confidently executing expressive brushstrokes, and has used the impasto technique to create a wonderful textural quality. Each colour has also been thoughtfully selected and layered to give rise to this beautiful composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen-lined frame with an inner wooden window. The painting has some minor craquelure present but this is usual for such thickly painted canvasses, and the paint layer is stable overall.

    A quirky and well executed mid century modernist portrait composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In this painting we see an elegantly dressed lady seated in an interior. The colour palette of the picture is rich and vivid, and the brushstrokes are broad and gestural. The yellow of the lady’s dress is echoed throughout the composition, from the tablecloth to the mirror and the curtains behind her. The woman appears fairly reserved, with her hands clasped on her lap, giving her an air of stiffness, which adds  to the playfulness of the picture.

    £420

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding geometric abstract figurative composition that explores the interplay between form, colour, and perspective, exeucted in iol onto canvas.

    Two figures stand in opposite direction against a backdrop of meticulously arranged geometric abstraction, and their forms have also been deconstructed down to angular shapes.

    The geometric shapes composing the figures and backdrop interlock like pieces of a puzzle. Each shape contributes to the overall composition, its placement and colour carefully considered to achieve balance and cohesion.

    The composition is a symphony of muted pastel hues – soft sage greens, mustard yellows, tranquil blues, delicate pinks, subtle greys, and warm peach. These colours contrast seamlessly, imbuing the composition with a serene and very pleasant feel.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.

    Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Off to School

    £265

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely and endearing miniature oil on canvas depicting a scene of a pedestrian walkway on a fine summer’s day.

    A woman in the foreground can be seen walking with her 2 children to drop them off at school. They are holding flowers in their hands, that they’ve picked along their journey.

    Rich and saturated colours fill this energetic painting; and the short and textured brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of liveliness and joy.

    What’s special too is that the artist has uniquely enhanced the greenery portion by adding graphite detailing in a ‘scribbled’ manner, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the trees.

    The painting is housed in a white card mount, and a green stained wood frame with a blue and gold inner wood border. The colours of the frame pick up on the colours within the painting beautifully, making it stand out even more. The work is glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the painting) to ensure its longevity.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Enigma

    £475

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive and skillfully executed mid-century abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The piece features a figure seated on a chair, its form abstracted. Striking in its simplicity, all realistic details have been omitted, leaving only the essential elements of brushstroke and colour to evoke a sense of contemplative solitude.

    The figure, painted in white with subtle pink undertones, sits with hands clasped together, subtly conveying a quiet moment of reflection. The silhouette is boldly outlined in a striking red, adding a dynamic contrast and accentuating the form’s presence.

    The background, seamlessly merging with the figure, is a energetic blend of grey, white, and pink undertones. The brushstrokes used are expressive and loose, conveying a powerful representation of the artist’s emotional experience.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing.

    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 surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, rhe 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.. Details such as the small but striking red lips of the figures, as well as the layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen-lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown in the close ups

  • Figures in Passage

    Figures in Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

    An evocative and striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board  by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The composition presents four elongated, abstracted human figures, rendered with a bold economy of form. The figures stand in two pairs, separated by a vertical division, suggesting the architectural framing of a corridor, doorway, or transitional space. Faces are minimally defined, with the emphasis placed instead on geometric blocks of colour to articulate torsos, limbs, and garments.

    The artist has used a restrained yet warm palette of browns, burnt sienna, cream, slate blue, teal, and deep black, offset by lighter grey and beige backgrounds. These tones are arranged in strong, vertical segments, lending a rhythmic, almost sculptural quality to the composition.

    Broad, confident brushstrokes, laden with texture, create a tactile surface where each mark remains visible, emphasising the physical act of painting. The layering of paint and interplay between light and dark areas add depth and contrast, while the simplification of form gives the work a timeless, almost archetypal presence.

    This oil on board  is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs present.

  • Lady in Profile

    Lady in Profile

    Sold

    SOLD

    A timeless and beautifully framed mid century modernist portrait composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This very well executed painting is  classical-style portrait of a woman shown in profile view, facing left. The subject has a composed expression, with carefully rendered facial features, especially her nose, lips, and eye. She wears a white headscarf with dabs of colour—blue, green, and red—adding liveliness to the otherwise muted colour palette.

    The brushstrokes are expressive and textured, characteristic of an Impressionist or Post-Impressionist style, giving the portrait a spontaneous, almost sketch-like quality while still capturing the essence of the subject. The background is a subdued greenish-grey, which helps bring the figure into focus.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with corner detailing and an inner green border which suits the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Rolling Green

    Rolling Green

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking and painterly mid-century modernist semi-abstract painting that captures the rhythmic undulation of a vast countryside landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    Broad, gestural brushstrokes sculpt the rolling terrain into simplified, interlocking blocks of colour – browns, yellows, forest greens, deep olives, and inky blacks – evoking fields and hedgerows under a pale, overcast sky.

    Executed with expressive textured brushwork, the surface reveals a confident physicality, with layered impasto lending dimensionality and dynamism to the composition. The abstraction flattens perspective, allowing the eye to move freely across the surface in a meditative scan of form and colour.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame which suits the painting very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs present.

    Size:  40 x 67.5 cm (including frame)

  • Singing by the Fire

    Singing by the Fire

    Sold

    SOLD

    A fun and joyful composition of an interior home setting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1982.

    This charming narrative painting features an array of details for us to explore, from the patterns of the rugs and walls, to the curtains and objects on the walls and the tiled stove with a fire.

    A family of adults and young children are sat by a table laid out with drinks. They appear to have a song book in their hand, as they listen and sing to the music played by the musician with the accordion at the right foreground of the painting.

    The artist has used a Naïve style, infusing the painting with an aura of playful charm as well as rich colours. There is sincerity to its simplicity, making it an enjoyable piece to slowly take in and explore with its wonderful array of details and uplifting feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt border.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs on its gilt border.

    Size: 31 x 36 cm (including frame)
