Lady & Rooster

Sold

SOLD.

An expressive mid-century figurative composition, executed in gouache and dated 1953.

The painting captures a striking side profile of a female figure holding a rooster with her right hand. The woman’s statuesque form contrasts with the rooster’s tense posture.

The artist has used long, sweeping brushstrokes that are both expressive and fluid, imbuing the scene with a sense of intensity.

The use of gouache allows for rich, opaque colours to beautifully overlay one another, displaying flatness yet demonstrating depth to the painting.

Modernist Apples

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Here we see 4 pieces of fruit laid out on a blue fabric, but captured in a distinctly modernist style. Cubist elements can be seen at play here – the artist highlights the three dimensionality of the apples through abstract qualities such as form and colour. The artist builds depth through different planes of colour, which is evident in both the apples as well as the fabric that they lay on. Broad gestural brushstrokes are evident, giving this piece its painterly quality. The palette is deep, rich and earthy.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame which suits it impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A tender and contemplative composition of a nude portrait, painted in oil onto canvas.

Thin outlines gently define her form and the contours of her body. The use of gentle colours and brushstrokes speaks to the tenderness and serenity within the work.

Orchard Apples

Sold

SOLD

A very skilfully executed modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1986.

In this picture, 3 apples sit on a saucer on a white surface, with a glimpse of wood panelling in the background. The focus here is immediately on the lusciousness of colours of the apples. The simple background enhances the deep and almost jewel-like colours of the apples. The artist has skilfully captured the myriad of red, yellow and green tones of the apples. The slightly imperfect and misshapenness of the apples are enhanced by the seemingly spontaneous and expressive brushstrokes, which capture the character of the fruit wonderfully. The colours of the apples are echoed slightly in the reflection on the saucer they are on.

The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame which suits the painting very well and enhances the colours within it. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Seated Trio

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed semi-abstract figurative oil composition, painted in 1964 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 three seated figures set against a backdrop filled with warm colours.

Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist’s deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on brushstrokes and colour. And as we glance across the figures from left to right, their forms become more abstract.

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 brown and orange tones in subtle variations helps to unify the composition and create depth and three-dimensionality.

This oil on canvas is housed in complementary black-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Size: 45 x 48 cm (including frame)

Tulips in Pastel

Sold

SOLD

A very elegant mid century modernist floral oil composition, painted onto canvas.

In this floral piece we have light pink tulips in a blue vase, painted in an expressionist style. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in a range of soft, pastel colours make up this composition. The flowers and vase is set against a background of light blue and pink, which transitions into a richer blue as we move down the canvas. There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which is really easy on the eye. Floral pieces like these have a timelessness to them which make them in an easy fit in many interior settings. The lightness to this one would certainly uplift the mood of a space.

Yellow & Green Ball

Sold

SOLD

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 on the reverse by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

A group of vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green and yellow circles, which draw our eye to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

This painting is wonderfully presented in a distressed style frame with ridge detail, and an inner linen-lined border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 62.5 x 71.5 cm (including frame)

The painting depicts a tranquil view of houses nestled atop a lush green hill by a coastline and with a beauitful sea view.

The artist has worked under a largely modernist ethos, reducing the painting down to blocks of contrasting colours to create depth and space within the picture.

The combination of a soft and muted colour palette as well as gentle brushstrokes evoke a sense of serenity to the painting.

Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space draws our attention to the forms within the painting.

His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

With its almost mosaic-like effect and illustrative quality, this playful composition features rich colours and lots of detail – a very recognisable style within Vallman’s oeuvre.

Dog Walk

Sold

SOLD

A very pleasant and tranquil scene of a park, painted in oil onto board.

We catch a glimpse of a back-facing silhouette of a figure in a long, flowing blue coat, standing on a pathway. Beside her is a little black dog that she has taken our for a walk. The park is a sanctuary of tall trees- their straight, towering trunks reaching upward.

The artist has used smooth brushstrokes, creating a gentle, dreamlike atmosphere. The outlines of the various forms are drawn with fine black lines, lending the composition a delicate, illustrative quality.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame that has been painted in subtle gold. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Figures in Hats

Sold

SOLD

A well executed mid century modernist figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Depicted here are 2 figures, each in hats. Their facial details have been intentionally left out – the artist has chosen instead to focus on the formal elements of shape, form and colour. There is a cohesive to the palette of the composition, as the background of the painting echoes the colours of the figures’ outfits. It has been split into 3 horizontal parts, which also seem to match up with the 3 parts of the two figures (hat, head, torso).

The movement of the artist’s brush is visible in the piece, adding to its painterly character and creating a lovely textural effect. There is a timeless and pensive vibe to the piece.

The painting is housed in a painted wood frame. There is a very small area of paint loss to the left side of the painting as shown in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some scuffing present.

Part of the ‘Imbolc’ series, the painting has been created by responding to the colours of local landscapes through the seasons of the traditional Celtic Calendar.

The early days of the year, treading muddy fields, grey lifeless skies. Warm pinks and soft yellow hiding in the midst of sepias, umbers and russets, this is the colour of Imbolc. A season of waiting, reflection, cosy jumpers, bitter cold puddles as big as ponds, impatience and planning.

Sold

SOLD

A visually striking and uplifting modernist landscape composition, executed in oil.

This painting filled with a spectrum of colours presents a scenic view of an expanse landscape with a prominent tree on the right and also a small fence.
