    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed semi-abstract modernist figurative composition, painted in oil onto board.

  • The Fishing Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding modernist style painting depicting a fishing village, dated 1955.

  • Abstract Autumn

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Distinct expressive and beautifully textured brushstrokes have been used across this composition to create this bold and striking painting.

  • Abstract Garden

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and serene abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Wholly abstract in nature, it is tempting to try to discern what it is in front of us. Wispy, expressionist brushstrokes in contrasting tones seems to denote the play of light and shadows, and could almost appear as though the artist has tried to capture a group of feathers. Yet there is also a loose sense of the natural landscape – perhaps a row of trees of a variety of species grouped together, swaying in the wind and with light bouncing off different parts of the leaves and branches.

    The beauty of the piece also lies in the way in which the artist draws our attention the medium. The oil has been thinned, creating a loose and free quality to the paint. In certain areas the artist has allowed the paint to drip down, emphasising the freedom of the medium and its composition.

    Although abstract in nature, we can just about discern a row of trees of different species growing together.

    This beautifully well balanced abstract painting has a palpable softness while still exuding energy and character.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary painted gold frame, including a lined lined border which has also been painted gold.  There is some general age toning to the painting, otherwise both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    The work is imbued with a sense of movement, as the artist has used short and swift brushstrokes to skilfully illustrate the motion of the waves and tidal flow.

  • Pensive Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and emotive large mid 20th century modernist style nude portrait, executed in oil on canvas.

    A seated nude is depicted against a wonderfully painted backdrop. With her head resting on her hand, she is in a pensive pose, deep in thought.

    At first glance, this semi-abstracted depiction of the nude figure may seem simple, but as we spend time to look at the colours and brushstrokes, we soon realise its complexity.

    Sold

    SOLD.

  • Surrealist Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed still life in pastel, beautifully presented in a black card mount and a silver frame.

    The style of the pastel drawing as well as the frame that it comes in are both typically ‘mid century modern’. Vibrant colours juxtapose against cast shadows, creating a sense of mystery within the picture. The objects pictured almost seem to carry personalities of their own that they have intentionally kept hidden. There is a cinematic and theatrical feel to this piece – a feeling that the objects have been grouped together on a stage, knowing that they are bring watched by us. The artist has chosen objects that have strong, clear, statement-like shapes, and has set them against a geometric background, drawing our attention to the lines and forms.

    This pastel is framed in its original light silvery-gold frame , and is set behind glass. The pastel is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.
