  • White Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subtle and outstanding 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.

    Upon first glance, our eyes are drawn to the three female figures that punctuate the foreground of the painting. The women are depicted in dark brown attire, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the surrounding environment, and they each appear to be engaged in their own activity. Behind them, the composition showcases rows of white buildings of differing heights.

    The artist has used gentle and muted hues of white, taupe, and dusty pink. These soft colours add a touch of warmth and contribute to the tranquil ambiance.

    The brushstrokes in the painting are characterised by their soft and delicate nature, as the artist has employed detailed brushstrokes, emphasising precision. This technique enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the artwork, and its subtle and soothing quality makes it an easy piece to fit into a wide variety of interior settings.

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

  • Dream State

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very unique and well executed mid century modernist portrait, painted in oil onto board in 1950.

    Drawing on the ethos of surrealism, this poetic painting asserts the power of the unconscious and dream. In this picture we see a side profile of a head, with an array of elements such as droplets, a butterfly, falling leaves and musical strings around the head. The background is a tile like mosaic of white and pink, which really draws attention to the profile.

    Here the artist creates a composition that is outside the realms of reality and rationality or reason. The picture emphasises the liberation of both the mind and of artistic expression.

    The painting is housed in multi aperture frame which suits the painting perfectly. There is some minor scattered craquelure to the painting but the paint layer is very stable overall. Both the painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Dame

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century portrait, 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 female figure stylishly dressed in a patterned clothing with intricate detailing, as well as a matching hat. She stands elegantly, holding an orange flower in her hand that matches her necklace, and her head is turned to the side. In the background, the artist has purposely simplified and reduced the architectural details of her surroundings into blocks of contrasting shades of brown.

    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. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette comprising subdued muted shades of brown, orange, and taupe, the painting creates a nostalgic and mysterious atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged silver frame. There are some very light surface marks to the lower section of the painting (as shown) but otherwise, it is in good vintage condition. The frame has some wear to its edges.

  • Louise

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually striking semi-abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1989.

    The painting depicts a female figure seated on a sofa, with her legs casually lifted onto the cushion beside her.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist displays his painterly skills as he has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting lively colours that help to demonstrate depth to the painting.

    The facial details of the figure have consciously been omitted, inviting us to focus on the interplay of colours and shapes instead. The silhouette of the female figure has been highlighted by a black outline, and its sketch-like quality adds a spontaneous element to the artwork.

  • Studio Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An excellently executed mid century nude composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist’s use of colour to create depth and contrast, his expressive and painterly brushwork, and the placement of each brushstroke and how it fits into the composition, are a showcase of his technical and artistic mastery. The composition is wonderfully balanced, with the perfect amount of negative space. A rich colour palette applied in long, broad brushstrokes draw our eye to the nude first. We explore the figure – angular and multidirectional brushstrokes that seem effortlessly applied have in fact been considered carefully, creating just the right amount of light and shade. The artist has left out realistic details of the figure’s body, and yet his allusions through the use of colour leave us perfectly content in knowing what we are looking at it – a fine example of his mastery with his medium and colour. The figure is set against rectangular blocks of colour which tease us into exploring the objects around the figure, while providing balance and harmony within the composition.

    The painting is in very good vintage condition and is unframed. It can be hung as is, or set in a new frame. There is a lining around the edges of the stretcher from the previous frame which has worn over time (as shown in close ups), but this can be easily removed.

    Size: 68 x 47 cm (including frame)

  • Coastal Musing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed abstract oil composition that captures the essence of a serene coastal landscape with a minimalist approach.

    The artwork portrays a figure on the left side of the composition, situated amidst a clifftop landscape of green and brown terrain, and with a visible coastline in the background.  Executed in an abstract manner, the artist has skillfully reduced and simplified these elements down to planes of contrasting colours that add depth to the composition.

    The figure, depicted in a silhouette form and uniquely outlined in blue, stands out against the earthy and warm tones of the surrounding landscape and terrain.

    The composition has an outstanding palette, consisting of muted cool shades of blue and grey, as well as richer earthy shades of brown and green.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it wonderfully. There are some scattered surface marks to the painting, and a tiny area of paint loss  to the top left, as shown. The frame has areas of scuffs and losses, as shown in the photos. Please note that the photos contain some glare.

  • Cubist Figure

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist figure composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of cubist works by Pablo Picasso, this painting also features fragmentation and abstraction. By breaking the figure and the interior scene down into distinct areas, the artist shows us different view points at the same time and within the same space which suggests their three dimensional form.  Yet there is also an emphasis on the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a textured champagne and gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    SOLD.

    An emotive and visually striking mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil on canvas.

    The painting features an interior setting, where a female figure is seated by a table and beside an open window with a view outside. With her face resting on her hand, she is not facing the viewer (us) and appears to be deep in thought.

    The artist has used a very rich and earthy colour palette, as well as bold expressive brushstrokes. The combination of these colours and strokes conveys a sense of emotional intensity, and may suggest a deep emotional experience or a connection to the artist’s inner world.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited gilt frame.  There is scattered craquelure throughout the painting, as well as some areas of paint loss to the upper edge and lower left as shown, and also two horizontal crease lines as shown. The frame has areas of minor wear.

  • Guitar Player

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition of a guitar player, executed in oil onto board.

    Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed the painting down to distinct blocks and geometric forms that overlap and intersect with one another. Each element of the figure and guitar seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

    The artist has also skilfully used contrasting colours as well as thin black and red outlines to highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the forms yet maintain a sense of flatness throughout the artwork.

    This oil on board comes unframed. There is some slight wear and losses to the edges of the painting, but this would be hidden if framed.

  • Grace

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intriguing and very confidently executed large oil on canvas, painted in 1987 by female Swedish artist Marianne Kanter, who monogram can be seen in the top left corner.

    On first glance the painting seems almost voyeuristic – we see the backs of two men staring at the undressed female figure. As we take the time to study the painting, in particular the female figure, we begin to notice her expression – she stares directly at us with an enigmatic gaze, completely aware of her position in the room and the attention she holds, both from us as well as the male figures we see. Her confidence is unmissable. Notably, the painting is by a female artist (Marianne Kanter). Could it be that this painting was a comment on the ‘male gaze’, a term coined a few years before in the 70s? We might never know the answer for sure, but it certainly makes the painting a beguiling and intriguing one.

    This large oil on canvas is presented in a very complementary slim frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
