Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An outstanding semi-abstract oil composition, painted in 1958 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 composition presents 3 figures strolling through a town in Córdoba in Spain. Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has deliberately omitted realistic details, and has skilfully deconstructed the scene and figures down to blocks of contrasting colour.

The use of short and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting as well as a light textural quality. The dominant use of rich brown and cream shades in various intensities create a warm and earthy atmosphere, and the variation in contrasting tones help to create depth and three-dimensionality.

An oustanding semi-abstract figurative oil composition, painted in 1957 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 artwork captures the poised and elegant presence of five Spanish ladies, all dressed in black outfits, seated side by side. Semi-abstract in nature, the painting omits realistic details, including facial features, to focus on the interplay of colour and brushwork.

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.

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.

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)
£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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
