  • A Restful Moment

    Sold

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks to its lower edge, as well as minor losses to its gilt edges.

  • Patched

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas around the 1960s.

    The painting is full of textural detail, as the artist has added an aggregate to certain areas (possibly sand or bitumen), creating a gritty and three dimensional effect in those areas. In other areas, large swathes of smooth creamy paint have been applied, in a restricted colour palette. The artist has worked in deep, rich tones and has used a myriad of curved forms to create the composition. There appears to be two figures, with one perhaps embracing another. However, the artist has chosen to focus on the formal elements of the picture such as shape, form and line, resulting in this largely abstract picture.

    This oil on canvas  is presented in a very well suited gilt frame. The painting has some light craquelure to the areas of impasto but the paint layer is very stable as shown in the close photos. It is in very good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 82 x 71cm (including frame)

    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 brushstrokes, textured and expressive, imbue the composition with a tactile quality and adds character to the piece overall.

    In this interior setting, a female figure is seated on a white chair, holding a baby in her arms that is resting on her. The table beside the woman as well as behind her is adorned with various objects, suggesting domesticity and everyday life. Across the room and against a backdrop of muted grey walls, a window gives a view of a striking blue sky.

    The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the figures and objects in a unique and striking blue outline, enhancing their distinct forms and inviting the viewer to explore their detail.

    Upon close inspection of the painting, we can notice that the artist has layered rich and contrasting shades, demonstrating depth and visual interest to the painting.

    The brushstrokes have been executed with remarkable confidence and expressiveness, capturing the fleeting moment of tenderness with a sense of spontaneity and authenticity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting has some very light surface marks at the bottom right, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness. The frame has some scuffs.

  • The Harlequin

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century figurative painting, 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 composition centers around a harlequin figure in a checkered costume with coloured patches. He is elegantly seated in front of an abstracted backdrop and with a view of a full moon.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail and a desire to capture the quiet beauty of the moment at nightfall. He has also thoughtfully chosen to paint the work across a limited range of monochrome sepia hues, adding a timeless quality and enhancing the nostalgic ambiance of the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an attractive gilt frame with a linen and gilt detail inner window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
