  • 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)

  • The Dancers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed abstract figurative oil composition, painted in 1959 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.

    Set against a backdrop filled with blocks of contrasting colours including shades of brown, orange, cream, and black – two figures, one black and one white, emerge in a dance-like embrace.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures are devoid of realistic details, yet their expressive forms convey a sense of fluidity.

    The warmth emanating from the rich colour palette infuses the composition with a sense of energy and radiance. Short and expressive brushstrokes animate the figures, imbuing them with a dynamic quality that contrasts with the static setting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small nick to the bottom edge, as shown in the close up photo. No issues otherwise.

    The sculpture seen in the photos is also available to purchase and details can be viewed here.

  • Jug & Fruits

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A visually striking geometric abstract mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting features a jug and some fruits placed across a red surface, and set against a dark muted green backdrop.

    Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed and fragmented the scene down to distinct blocks of contrasting colours and bold outlines 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 use of contrasting rich shades highlights the three-dimensional qualities of each object, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

    Furthermore, the expressive and distinct brushstrokes add a beautiful textural quality to the painting.   

    This oil on board is housed in a stunning wide-profile  frame that further elevates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor paint losses but this suits its overall vintage look.

  • Essence of Earth

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A minimalist abstract composition that captivates with its simplicity and subtle complexity, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970 on verso.

    In the lower section, a solid block of forest green grounds the composition, representing the earth. A faint black line hovers above, suggestive of a horizon. Above this line, a serene block of cream fills the top half of the canvas, evoking a vast expanse of sky. At the pinnacle, a luminous white circle glows softly, reminiscent of a sun.

    While abstract in nature, the painting subtly suggests a landscape bathed in the light of a radiant sun. Its minimalistic composition and gradients echo the emotive resonance often found in the works of American abstract painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970), inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of light, space, and colour.

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

    Bold, confident swathes of paint have been applied to the canvas, creating a beautiful textural quality and a rhythmic flow to the scene.

    The artist has thoughtfully selected a limited palette comprising muted shades of green, yellow, and beige, that seamlessly blend and subtly transition in colour, evoking a soothing quality to the painting.

  • Lime & Shadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An invigorating and dynamic mid-century abstract expressionist painting that focuses on a confident interplay of colours and expressive brushwork.

    Thoughtfully selecting a colour palette of white, black, brown, and striking lime green, the artist displays his painterly skills as the respective shades layer, intertwine, and overlap one another, creating a captivating visual experience.

    The brushstrokes in the painting are expressive and textured, adding a raw and tactile quality. The artist’s gestural approach to the brushwork adds a sense of movement and fluidity to the composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited  wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has some scattered areas of craquelure due to the thickness of the paint, but the paint layer is stable overall. There is a tiny 1cm slit to the canvas along the top of the painting but this is not obvious unless closely examined, a close up of this slit can be seen in the photos. The painting also has some areas of restoration which is only visible from the reverse. Overall, the painting’s appearance is good. The frame is also in good vintage condition.

    In the foreground, 3 figures are presented strolling through lush greenery, with a backdrop of a cityscape behind them.

    Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting colours, and the deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on the overall atmospheric ambiance, as well as on brushstroke and colour.

    The artist has used expressive and sweeping strokes of varying lengths, evoking a sense of movement and dynamism within the static setting.

  • Houses in Abstract

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and richly textured modernist style composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully captured a street scene featuring a row of houses in varying sizes. The scene has been simplified and reduced down to blocks of contrasting colours, as well as bold, powerful, and distinct brushstrokes.

    The artist has deliberately used a restrained palette that allows for a balanced colour scheme, with muted hues of white, green, and orange, contrasting against punches of black to balance the composition.

    The masterful use of the impasto technique creates texture and depth to the painting – with thick, textured brushstrokes giving the artwork a tactile quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim black wood frame. The painting has an area of craquelure to its top left corner as shown in close ups, but the paint layer is stable overall and it is in good vintage condition.

  • Light on the Farm

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully ambient modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    In this scene, a wonderful evening light settles on the fam house, creating a soft glow through the picture. The artist has captured the qualities of the light so effectively, using short expressive brushstrokes that lend texture and depth to the painting. The transition of colours in the painting is gentle and soothing – from the soft blue sky, to rustic colours of the farmhouse which are then echoed in the grassy ground below with its highlights of yellow.

    The painting is housed in an equally gorgeous deep profile gilt and linen frame which almost illuminates the painting from within. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs to the edges and some toning to the linen border.

  • Nude at Midnight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An emotive and brilliantly executed mid-century nude figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A female figure commands attention at the center stage. Seated gracefully upon a blue platform with her knees drawn up and with one hand gently resting on her knee, she turns slightly to the side, her pose suggesting both poise and introspection.

    Set against a backdrop of blocks of dark blue and charcoal grey, the figure emerges and her naturalistic tones accentuate her presence and create a striking contrast against the somber backdrop.

    The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, and there is a strong focus on rich colours and expressive brushstrokes to enhance the emotional resonance of the painting.

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

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning champagne frame. The painting has scattered craquelure present commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is stable overall.

    This oil on board is housed in a decorative wood frame that complements it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cat on a Couch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and very cleverly painted composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Simple but very effective in its composition, we see an interior scene of a cat curled up on a striped couch. The colours of the couch and background are pastel and gentle, thus focussing our attention on the red pillow and black and white cat. The artist has applied the paint in broad and gestural strokes, and in certain areas we see impasto where the paint has been applied thickly and stands proud from the surface. The cat has been very cleverly painted in a few simple strokes of thick creamy paint.

    For anyone who owns (or has owned) a cat, this painting would be such a lovely and poignant addition to an interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has scattered craquelure as shown in the close ups but the paint layer is stable overall.
