  • Green Grove

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully textured modernist landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    A large green tree punctuates the center of the composition, as it rests amidst a lush forest. Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has skillfully deconstructed the scene down to planes of contrasting rich colours as well as expressive and painterly brushstrokes.

    The artist’s use of the impasto technique adds a striking texture to the painting. The impasto technique involves applying thick layers of paint with visible brushstrokes, creating a three-dimensional effect that draws us in, as well as adding depth and tactility to the piece.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. There is some very light scuffing to the frame, but this doesn’t attract from the appearance. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Lute

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still-life modernist composition dated 1959, painted by the listed artist Arnold Eres (1917-1986) who is represented in public collections in Sweden.

    Reminiscent of the well-known post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh, this piece by Eres is also characterised by bold, symbolic colours, and dramatic, impulsive and highly expressive brushwork. In this composition we see a lute by a vase of flowers. Broad brushstrokes and thickly applied paint make up this rich and textured painting which has so much to offer viewers. A wonderful detail worth noticing is the mosaic-tiled table that the vase sits upon, which plays off the colours of the background. The artist has also played with forms and shapes, creating a distinctive rhythm within the painting, such as where the bold lines in the vase are echoed in the strings of the lute.

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

  • Abundance

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A vibrant and lively mid-century modernist-style landscape, executed in oil on canvas and dated 1957.

    The composition sweeps across the canvas, presenting lush green fields dominating the foreground, while rolling hills and blue mountains stand in the background beneath a cloudy blue sky.

    Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and there is a strong focus on expressive brushstrokes and colour.

    The artist has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting colours, as rich and saturated shades of greens and blues interplay dynamically, invoking a sense of depth and movement. Swift, expressive brushstrokes infuse the scene with energy, capturing the essence of the landscape in a captivatingly semi-abstract manner.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner canvas lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • 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.

  • Jug & Fruits

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • 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.

    Set against a striking mustard-coloured background are 2 figures dressed in Mexican hats and elaborate clothing that are engaged in the act of dancing.

    This painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner and outer gilt window. There are some scuffs to the frame’s gilt border, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • 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)

  • Trellis

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In the centre of the composition we see thickly applied layers of paint and this area of impasto in grey and rust brown creates an initial focal point. The composition has a grid like effect, with layers of paint contrasting against each other in a myriad of ways. The crossed angles in which the paint has been applied create a distinct sense of depth to the painting, drawing our eyes further and further inward to discover the various layers. The lighter colours sit underneath the darker, earthier colours, giving it a luminous effect.

    Although the picture does not depict anything identifiable, it is very expressive and emotional in its effect,  created both through the colour palette as well as the gestural way in which the paint has been applied.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a linen lined border.  There are some age spots on the top left of the painting, but it is overall in good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the frame, commensurate with its age.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed semi-abstract city landscape 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.

    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. The dominant use of rich brown and green shades in various intensities creates a warm and earthy atmosphere, and the contrasting tones help to create depth and three-dimensionality.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame with black edging, which really illuminates the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition.  The frame has scuffs and paint losses.

  • 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.

    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.

The artist plays with patterns and outlines in this bustling scene of people at a dining banquet, with a striking green ceiling with chandeliers above them.

    The painting is very lively and uplifting, and has wonderful areas of texture where the artist has used thick dollops of paint in an impasto technique.

    A brilliantly executed semi-abstract oil composition painted in 1963 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.

    The composition presents 2 figures riding horses in a desert landscape. Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist’s deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on the overall atmospheric ambiance, as well as on the beauty of brushstroke and colour.

    The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting. And the clever use of a limited colour palette of rich browns, blue, and black tones in subtle variations not only helps to unify the composition and create depth and three-dimensionality, but also a warm and earthy atmosphere

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited silver frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing and wear.

    Size: 32 x 37 cm (including frame)
