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.

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.

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.

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)

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

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.

Light on the Farm

Sold

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.
