  • Grapes & Pears

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The composition features a golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of each form through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

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

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist painting presents a vibrant yet soothing interpretation of houses by a hillside, depicted in a bold, semi-abstract style,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition features clusters of houses with angular rooftops nestled among lush greenery, painted in deep blues, rich reds, and warm earth tones. The background sky is rendered in a muted, soft grey, allowing the vivid hues of the houses to stand out.

    The artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes, giving the painting a dynamic, textured quality. The foliage appears sculpted through impasto techniques, while the simplified geometric forms of the buildings lend a sense of structure amidst the organic movement of the landscape.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small area of paint loss but is in good condition overall.

  • Pears & Glass Vase

    £1,050

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The colour palette is rich, and the artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

    The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

     

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has water marks and wear across its inner border, and has some light scuffing present as well.

  • Coastal Abstraction

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract composition that captures a rugged coastal landscape through a geometric interplay of angular shapes and layered textures, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959 by Swedish artist Gustaf Skoglund (1923-2003).

    Rendered in an abstract, almost cubist manner, the artist has skilfully deconstructed and fragmented the natural scenery into overlapping planes of earthy browns, muted blues, and soft greys, evoking the rocky shoreline, rolling dunes, and distant waters.

    The palette consists of subdued, earthy hues that imbue the work with a soothing yet nostalgic quality. The brushstrokes vary—some areas exhibit smooth, blended applications, while others feature expressive, swift horizontal strokes that emphasise the tactile nature of rock formations and land contours.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pair of Oils

    £1,200

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An engaging and powerful pair of abstract compositions by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen board. Each signed, titled and dated 2024 on reverse.

    Central to these paintings are an intense engagement with oil on linen that explores the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both paintings are oil on linen board and housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both the paintings and frames are in excellent condition. Each one of these is a one-off unique hand painted piece, so the pair will be available until any one of the pieces is purchased individually. If you prefer to buy an individual piece, you can do so here.

    Size: Each one measures 50 x 40 cm (including frame)

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • Surrealist Still Life

    £1,000

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The main focus is a still life arrangement, where the objects are flatly rendered, with strong outlines and solid colours, giving them a stylized, almost graphic appearance. The still life is set against a dramatic landscape featuring dark, jagged rock formations and a glowing yellow-orange sky. The horizon line is low, creating a sense of vastness and emphasizing the glowing sunset or sunrise. Two distant rocky outcrops are visible on the horizon, adding depth and a touch of realism.

    This painting is a striking combination of still life and landscape, juxtaposing the intimate simplicity of fruit and household objects with the grandeur and drama of a glowing, otherworldly landscape. The bold use of colour and form creates a stylized and dynamic composition, blending realism with abstraction. It evokes a sense of harmony between the everyday and the sublime.

    This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, but is in good condition overall.

  • White, Yellow, Blue, Black

    £1,135

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking contemporary abstract still life composition that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board and dated 1991 by British artist Romi Behrens (1939-2019).

    The painting captures an abstract, minimalist arrangement of two distinct objects – a white pitcher and a violin – placed on a bright yellow bench and under a blue surface. With its striking colour, the yellow bench dominates as a focal point, energising the composition and contrasting against the dark black background.

    The presence of grid lines in the background suggests a tiled wall, and it adds depth as well as enhances the geometric nature of the composition.

    Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has deliberately reduced the objects into bold, simplified shapes and flat planes of colour. The use of thin black outlines further emphasises their shapes.

    The brushstrokes are visible and lightly textured, giving the work an expressive feel. The overall intentional lack of intricate details invites the viewer to contemplate the form, colour, and symbolism of everyday objects.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary tray frame.  The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some minor age wear but is in good condition overall.

    The painting is filled with an array of geometric shapes painted in rich bold tones of brown, black, yellow, blue, and turquoise. These shapes collide and overlap, creating a rhythmic interplay across the surface.

    Amidst the abstract nature of the painting, a subtle mask-like form, a building block, as well as silhouettes of figures emerge, adding a touch of mystery to the composition.

    This mid-century expressive and emotive oil portrait delves into the depths of the human psyche with an intriguing depiction of a male figure in a brown shirt.

  • Cubist Study

    Sold

    SOLD

    The painting depicts a simplified human figure dressed in an orange attire, in a seated position with her hands clasped in front.

    Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully flattened and fragmented the composition down to distinct geometric planes and angular shapes that interact with one another. Each respective shape seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

    The colour palette is consists of bold orange and a mix of muted shades including light terracotta, beige, and grey-blue, with occasional accents of black and cream. The blocks of colour are cleanly defined, yet they transition fluidly into one another, avoiding harsh contrasts. The contrasting darker and lighter tones highlights the three-dimensional qualities of the figure and surrounding, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.

  • Shape & Form

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed 1959 abstract composition painted in oil onto canvas, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

    Here we have an abstract composition with a structured, geometric arrangement of shapes in a muted colour palette.

    The artwork leans towards abstract geometric art with an architectural quality. It features rectangular and curved forms that overlap and interact, creating a sense of balance and depth. The shapes resemble furniture or interior elements, possibly suggesting a still life or interior scene in an abstracted manner.

    The painting uses soft, neutral tones of beige, cream, pale blue, and muted pastels, contrasted with darker accents in deep brown, black, and a bold teal rectangle at the top. The subtle use of pink and red hints at warmth within the composition.

  • The Blue Vest

    Sold

    SOLD

    An excellently executed modernist oil on canvas, painted by Bo Hultén (b.1945), whose works have been presented in the Modern Museum of Art, and the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm. His work is also presented at the Gripsholm Gallery in Stockholm and the Municipal Museum in Malmö. 

    This painting by Bo Hultén is a relatively early work. His style is reminiscent of the modernist tradition in which figures are deconstructed into basic shapes and surfaces. The geometric structure has parallels to Cubism and Post-Cubism, in which volumes and perspectives dissolve into flat fields of colour. The face is anonymous and unspecified, which enhances the abstract expression and directs the viewer’s focus to the shapes of the body and the colour composition.

    The blue garment in the centre acts as a central colour point, while the dark and light contrasts create a balanced composition. The orange element in the lower left corner breaks off and adds dynamism to the painting. The background is minimalist and neutral, which makes the figure appear more clearly.

    Hultén’s work can be placed within Scandinavian modernism, where an austere but poetic simplicity often occurs. His way of simplifying human figures into almost iconic forms is reminiscent of artists such as Fernand Léger or Swedish modernists such as Olle Bærtling (although Bærtling was more pronounced abstract).

    The painting is presented in a wood frame which suits it perfectly. There are some marks and general age wear to painting, but it is in good condition overall. The frame has some scuffs, but is also in good condition.

  • Girl at the Table

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist portrait composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1955 by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

    This painting is a stylized and abstracted portrait of a seated woman in a minimalist, geometric interior. The composition emphasizes form, structure, and contrast, blending figurative and abstract elements.

    The central figure is a girl with angular features, seated at a table with a few simplified objects in front of her. Her hair is short and dark, framing her face. She wears a yellow dress with bold, blocky shapes, adding a pop of colour against the muted background.

    The room is divided into sharp geometric shapes, with black, grey, and white tones creating a stark, cubist-like interior. Bold, thick black outlines define the figure and objects, contributing to the graphic quality of the painting. The colours are minimal, dominated by shades of black, grey, white, and beige. The yellow of the girl’s dress provides the only vibrant colour, drawing attention to her figure.

    The style is modernist with cubist and expressionist influences, focusing on abstraction and simplicity. Brushwork is flat and controlled, with an emphasis on bold lines and colour blocks over fine details. The deliberate simplicity and sharp contrasts focus attention on the female figure as the emotional and structural centrepiece of the artwork.

    The artwork is presented in a simple, light wooden frame, complementing the painting’s minimalist aesthetic. There is a very tiny spot of paint loss along the right side of the painting, as shown in close up, but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. There is some general wear to the vintage frame. commensurate with age.

    The artist has used a soft and earthy colour palette, combining muted greens, greys, pink, and whites that resemble nature landscape and soft skies. The occasional black and deep brown shapes add contrast and depth, suggesting the presence of mining structures.

    Overall, the work is contemplative as it balances abstraction with a sense of place. It does not rely on literal representation but instead captures the spirit and natural beauty of the location.

  • Tabletop Ensemble

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still life composition that contains elements of cubism and abstraction, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

    The colour palette is a blend of muted, earthy tones, such as olive green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, and dark teal, combined with accents of grey and black. These colours contribute to a warm yet restrained atmosphere.  The shapes are outlined and juxtaposed with tonal shifts, which gives depth to the flat surfaces.

    The brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, enhancing the sense of geometric clarity and maintaining the structured composition. This painting evokes a sense of stillness and balance, achieved through the careful arrangement of shapes and colours.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame frame. The painting has some scattered losses at its edges as shown, but is overall in good vintage condition otherwise.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1980, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The central focus of the composition is a bold and vibrant selection of red pears, a yellow bowl, and a cluster of purple grape that have been thoughtfully arranged. They are set against a desert-like landscape with rocky mountains and under a crescent moon. The combinations of forms lends the painting a surreal, dreamlike quality.

    The colour palette is vibrant yet balanced. The deep reds of the pears draws our attention, and the bold colours of the fruit and bowl stand out against the tan middle ground. Additionally, the black shadows and dark forms in the background provide depth and a sense of mystery.

    The brushstrokes are smooth and meticulous, contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

    This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor wear along its left edge.

    Size: 34 x 39 cm (including frame)

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed, large and characterful mid-century abstract nude figurative portrait composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1964.

    The painting presents a seated female figure, rendered in expressive brushstrokes. Abstract in nature, the figure has been skilfully deconstructed into blocks of contrasting pastel shades, evoking a harmonious yet fragmented human form. Set against a backdrop of deep blues and greens with hints of earthy browns, the figure contrasts vividly with the surrounding darker tones.

    By leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the form of the figure. drawing our attention to her distinct presence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
