  • Green Fields

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic and very confidently executed modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1954.

    This landscape scene depicts an open valley filled with lush greenery, and the artist has thoughtfully chosen to highlight the beauty of the colour green through using an array of shades.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, this scene has been reconstructed down to planes of rich contrasting colours to demonstrate depth in the painting. Swift and powerful expressive brushstrokes dominate the canvas, imbuing the painting with energy and forming this very striking and lightly textured composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning cream ridged frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting.  The painting is in very good vintage condition, although there is a tiny pinhole to left corner of canvas, as shown, from a previous frame. However, this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Seated Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto canvas.

    A male figure in his workwear sits on stool, with his cap resting on his knee, and perhaps a box of cigarettes clasped in his hand, captured at a point where he is taking a break from work. With its solid patches of colour and clearly defined forms, this striking portrait contains elements of post-impressionism, with the artist seeking to express emotions rather than just simply optical impressions. The figure looks straight at us, but his expression is kind, and there is a sense of warmth and familiarity to him.

    We can just about see the view outside the window – a series of geometrical shapes alluding to houses and buildings. These geometry of angles and contrasting angles continues throughout the picture, with definitive forms and lines building up the picture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary slim wood frame.  There is creasing to the canvas as shown, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Afterglow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and panoramic mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Broad, textured and gestural brushstrokes fill the bottom half the painting, creating a rich quality in the painting and capturing our initial attention. 3 houses punctuate the centre of the composition, and to the right an orangey-yellow area adds a fiery quality to the piece, balancing out the composition and drawing our eyes upwards to the top half of the painting.  As we shift our focus, the brushstrokes too take on a different quality. Smoother and more delicate brushstrokes with a lighter texture fill the blue sky.

    There is a light and diaphanous quality to this very well executed painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a light wooden frame with white detail. There are some minor marks to the frame, otherwise both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • It Takes a Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto canvas by the established female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    In this vivid and richly coloured composition, we see a group of figures gathered together, with one figure holding a baby. Beneath them are baskets on the floor. The artist’s free and imaginative use of colour is evident, beautifully capturing the sense that the artists are standing out in the hot sun in colourful dress.  The background is a grid like composition painted in orange, red and sandy brown tones, evoking a sense of arid plains heated under the sun. There is a palpable sense of familiarity between the figures, as they gather together in casual conversation. Using a combination of bold black outlines and planes of juxtaposing colours, the artist has achieved great depth and complexity to the composition, while maintaining a sense of playfulness and freedom within her palette.

  • Lake Land

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1970.

    In this picture, two boats sit in shallow waters, and behind them we see a small cottage that is backed by mountains. The artist has painted in distinctly separate planes of colour, using a tiered effect of complementary colours that gives the composition its depth. The palette is restrained, dominated mainly by blues, yellows, greys and browns. The brushstrokes are visible, giving us a sense of the artist’s process of creation as well as giving the painting a textured effect. The painting has a very restful ambience to it, and would be such a fine addition to any interior.

    The painting is housed in a lovely mid century wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. There is a small mark on the painting ( we have included a very close up photo of this) but this mark is quite inconspicuous when the painting is up hanging on the wall. The paint layer is very stable overall and has no other issues.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping.

    A large and very well executed 1959 limited edition (28/30) lithograph, signed by Waldemar Sjölander.

    The artist uses  tonal gradation, outlines, and shapes to create this playful composition. The figure is fragmented into several three dimensional forms, and plays on optical illusion. The artist converges the shadows of the figure with its three dimensional form, teasing our eyes which weave in and out of the shapes.

  • Abstract River Forest

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and expressive abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    Although its subject matter appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that a river flowing through a forest landscape is the source of inspiration.

    A dance of muted colours fill the canvas – with lighter shades of beige, blue and grey contrasting harmoniously against the stronger shades of green and brown. The swift and expressive brushstrokes add a dynamic touch to the painting.

  • Boat in Port

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century semi abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Here we see a boat docked in front of a building, but the artist has chosen to focus on formal qualities such as form, shape, line and colour. Working under a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has very cleverly reduced the scene down to flat planes of colour, creating a cubist, geometric effect in the composition, bringing our attention to the fact that this is indeed a painting on a surface, shaped by the artist’s own view and perception, as opposed to a realistic depiction of a boat by a shed. Yet details like the stillness of the water, the reflection of the boat, and the structures involved are still so masterfully captured.

    This oil painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Bottles

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A magnificent modernist mid-century still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The composition presents an assortment of objects including bottles, fruit, glasses, and a box laid across a table surface.

    Incorporating elements of cubism and abstraction, this painting emphasises the beauty of colour, shape, and form. The artist has fragmented the various forms down to blocks of contrasting shades to highlight their three-dimensional qualities, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

    Using a beautiful and restrained muted colour palette, the painting exudes calm,  and the strong play of light and dark shades as gives the illusion of depth.

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

  • Essence Landscape, Bird, Fish

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore 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 painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    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.

  • Garden Bench

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vibrant and brilliantly executed landscape painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    This landscape composition depicts a white bench sitting amidst a lush forest.

    Containing elements of fauvism and abstraction, this striking painting emphasises rich colourism, fierce brushwork and decorative pattern.

    The artist has flattened the forms and has enhanced the colours of the natural world by using a restrained palette of vivid and saturated shades of blue, green and white. Distinct and energetic brushstrokes fill the painting with dabs of colours, and have been executed with great confidence and skill to add a wonderful textural quality and imbue the work with a sense of dynamism.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. the painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are small losses and scuffs to the frame corners, as shown in photos.

    Painted in an expressionist style, textured brushstrokes have been applied in a dynamic manner – accentuating the pattern of the gingham tablecloth as well as the three-dimensionality of the objects.

    This painting is housed in a complementary silver frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there is some damage to the lower right corner of the frame. The backing board that the painting is on is slightly uneven.

  • Lake in Light

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very quaint and atmospheric lakeside composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1939 on the reverse.

    Broad, textural brushstrokes fill the canvas in an array of pastel colours, wonderfully capturing the effect of the sunlight on the lake landscape. A red and orange lake house punctuates the centre of the composition, its reflection cast on the still waters below. The house sits amidst a backdrop of mountains which have been painted in blues and purples. There is a beautiful harmony and cohesiveness in the palette of this composition, with several colours repeating in various areas of the canvas.

    This oil on canvas is housed a lovely nude painted distressed frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There appears to be an area of restoration to the sky area of the painting but this is only evident on the reverse – this restoration is not visible on the front.

    An elegant modernist still life painting, executed in oil on canvas.

    This composition depicts a group of objects including a copper jug, as well as apples and pears laid across a wooden table with a white tablecloth placed on it.

    The artist has used a soft and soothing colour palette to create this finely executed still life, with gentle and detailed brushwork as well as skilful application of colours that capture the three-dimensional qualities of the objects.

  • Ponder

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid century portrait, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting presents an interior setting, where a young female figure is sitting on a chair with her hands clasped together in front of her. Although the artist has intentionally chosen not to paint her facial details, there is sense of calm, and stillness. She sits quietly, comfortably, with a quality of timelessness.

    The palette is soft and tender, perfectly suited to the mood of the sitter and the scene.  We know not who the figure is, but there is a palpable sense of familiarity. The painting emits a warm glow, with its shades of mellow yellow, green and orange capturing the mood and homeliness of the setting.

    This painting is housed in a deep-profiled wood frame with visible grain. There are paint losses to the inner border of the frame as shown, but it matches the general look of the painting and frame. The artist has painted onto board, whose surface appears to have a sheet of very thin paper laid to it. There is very slight lift to the bottom left corner by the signature, but the paint layer is very stable overall.

  • Portrait of a Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure study in oil, painted on to canvas laid to board, and dated 1956.

    Painted in a post impressionist manner, the artist has incorporated a highly personal use of colour and brushwork, directly expressing and capturing an emotional response. The male figure looks down, and not directly at us – the artist has captured him in a moment of thought and reflection. Using a minimal  yet very earthy palette of blues, browns and blacks, the artist has also chosen to focus on the angles of his hairline, facial features, coat and collar. The artist has also captured the way the light hits the figure brilliantly, creating this very well executed composition and showing off the artist’s mastery with his medium.

    This oil painting is housed in a slim frame that complements the painting well. There is some wear to the edges of the painting, and to the frame which has some small losses as shown, but this is all in keeping with the overall style. Overall the painting and frame are both in good vintage condition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor areas of scuffing.
