A large and serene mid-century modernist painting that captures a vast landscape rendered with bold, expressive brushwork and simplified forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1946.
At the centre of the composition, a red-roofed house sits nestled among rolling green hills, with winding white paths leading toward the horizon, where a band of deep blue suggests the presence of the sea.
The artist has abstracted natural elements into rhythmic, geometric shapes – trees, hills, and fences are distilled into confident planes of colour. A soft yet vivid palette of greens, yellows and blues bring a lyrical quality to the scene. Expressive painterly brushstrokes lend a sense of movement and spontaneity, evoking the energy of the landscape rather than a literal depiction.

A charming and engaging contemporary animal composition that captures the profile of a brown horse standing alertly against a softly undulating desert landscape, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.
The composition is striking in its simplicity – clean, stylised lines and minimal detailing reflect a naïve or folk art sensibility. The artist eschews realism in favour of flattened forms and a muted palette of chestnut brown, yellow, dusty lilac, and earthy taupe.
The horse’s form is rendered with smooth, confident brushstrokes and solid colour blocks, lending it a sense of quiet dignity and presence.
This oil on board is housed in bold and striking green frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

The figure, clad in a red headscarf and earthy-toned dress, is rendered with simplified yet expressive forms, evoking a moment of quiet introspection in nature.
The composition reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: bold brushwork, expressive abstraction, and a spontaneous energy that animates the landscape.

The water shimmers with layered greens and whites, and the trees are defined with confident, gestural marks.

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.
The painting presents a richly textured view of a domestic space segmented by walls and doorways, evoking a sense of both intimacy and distance, The composition leads the eye through a series of adjoining rooms, each anchored by angular furniture and luminous windows that suggest late afternoon light filtering in.
Rendered in bold, sculptural impasto, the brushwork is confident and geometric, with thick strokes that emphasise form over fine detail. The artist has used a sophisticated, somewhat muted palette of teal, orange, dusty rose, blues, offset by accents of coral red and pale lavender. The use of repeated rectangular forms – windows, tabletops, and chairs – imbues the painting with a rhythmic architectural quality.
Stylistically, the painting straddles between abstraction and realism, with the recognisable elements of the interior flattened into colour blocks and strong contours, echoing the influences of both post-cubist and modern design aesthetics.

A richly textured mid-century abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.
Simple yet effective in its composition, a group of enigmatic figures takes center stage, and are set against a light grey background.
The figures, presented as silhouettes, are defined by striking black outlines that lend them an air of mystery and abstraction. Utilising contrasting tones of brown, yellow, and blue, and these subtle hints of colours help to convey a sense of depth and also emphasise the three-dimensional qualities of the figures.

A expressive and striking mid-century modernist figurative painting that presents a confident red-haired nude figure poised on a simple yellow-backed chair, executed in oil onto board.
Set against an expressive green background, the composition balances minimalism with raw, tactile emotion. The subject’s relaxed yet upright pose exudes quiet strength, with one elbow resting on the chair’s back and the other arm crossing over the torso in a casual gesture of composure.
Painted in broad, impasto strokes, the artist uses a palette of earthy flesh tones offset by deep crimson for the subject’s hair, and contrasting chartreuse and mint hues for the chair. The lush green backdrop is abstract and textured, evoking an ambiguous interior or garden-like setting. The figure’s form is sculpted with angular planes and decisive blocks of colour, reflecting the influence of modernist reduction.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist harbour scene, painted in oil onto canvas.
This composition depicts a harbour view at night, with the moon casting its light on the boat, buildings and figures. The artist has used the contrasts of shape, colour and form to his advantage to create this modernist scene. The silhouettes of the boats and buildings have been very cleverly outlined with white, and the reflection of the moon can be seen on the water in yellow. In the forefront we see figures also standing in the reflection of the light, which has been painted in white. Towards the right we see a warm glow from the window of a house. This nostalgic composition captures the beauty of the night by the water wonderfully.
The painting is presented in a very complementary slim gilt frame, which illuminates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

A small and engaging animal composition , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.
This painting features a stylised brown horse standing on a sandy or beige ground against a pale, textured background that resembles a lightly clouded sky. The horse is depicted in a folk art style, characterized by its simplified form and solid color blocking.
The horse’s posture is calm and slightly alert, with its head turned slightly forward, ears upright, and tail gently curled. Its proportions are subtly exaggerated, with long slender legs and a rounded torso, giving the figure a charming, slightly naive appearance. The detail is minimal, focusing on clean lines and smooth shading to define the horse’s shape.
The background is intentionally sparse, with no landscape or objects, placing full emphasis on the horse itself.

A contemporary abstract landscape painting that presents a tranquil yet expressive interpretation of a coastal horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2004.
The painting captures the essence of a shoreline scene through abstraction, distilling it into pure colour and form. Divided into horizontal bands of colour, the composition evokes the meeting of sky, sea, and land with a minimalist, yet deeply atmospheric approach.
Rendered in an abstract style and reminiscent of Colour Field painting, the artist has used a harmonious palette of soft lavender, warm orange, muted olive, deep turquoise, and pale sky blue – imbuing the work with a soothing quality. Broad, gestural brushstrokes have been executed, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through in places, creating a sense of movement and organic imperfection. The blending of colours suggests atmospheric depth, while the bold, dark band of blue-green near the horizon anchors the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye across the expanse of land and sea.

An energetic mid-century abstract composition that explodes with motion and tension through a fractured interplay of geometric planes and bold colour fields, painted in oil onto canvas.
Abstract in nature, the subject is entirely non-representational, inviting the viewer to interpret intersecting diagonals and jagged contours as shifting emotional landscapes or psychological states.
The palette is vibrant and high-contrast: crimson red, emerald green, mustard yellow, cobalt blue, and burnt sienna pulse against a textured white backdrop. The composition is defined by strong black lines that cleave through the canvas, creating a sense of fragmentation and dynamism.
The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with textured areas where colour is densely applied, giving the surface a palpable materiality. Other sections are scraped back or layered thinly, revealing the canvas weave beneath and adding depth and texture.

A very large 21st-century abstract painting that captures a rhythmic visual language of geometric forms and gestural marks, executed in oil on canvas.
At almost 1.2metres wide, this composition is set against a soft, muted sage green background, interwoven with an intricate network of white linear glyphs—some suggesting architectural schematics, others evoking primitive symbols or abstract cartography.
The artist has used a flat, matte surface treatment for the background, allowing the crisp white markings to emerge with clarity. The brushstrokes are confident and uniform, creating a sense of order amidst the apparent spontaneity. The overall style leans toward minimalistic abstraction, influenced by both modernist mark-making and contemporary urban semiotics.

A striking mid-century set of abstract paintings that presents a dynamic exploration of geometry, movement, and texture, executed in oil onto board.
One panel is anchored by overlapping arch forms that slice through fields of green and magenta, intersected by rectilinear blocks in turquoise, purple, and orange. The other panel contrasts this with an organic constellation of amoeba-like shapes in plum, teal, and periwinkle, suspended over a rich patchwork of angled planes.
Rendered in a meticulous crosshatch technique, the surface of each panel vibrates with energy. The artist has used fine, directional brushstrokes to build a complex tactile field, imbuing the composition with a sense of movement and dimensionality. The colour palette is both earthy and vibrant.
Together, the panels evoke the duality of logic and intuition, with the left panel leaning toward structured geometry and the right into fluid abstraction, making this set a compelling addition to any art collection.
These oils on board come as a pair, and are each housed in a complementary wood frame. Both paintings and frames are in excellent vintage condition.

A bold and brilliantly executed mid-century modern painting that presents an abstracted interpretation of architectural forms or structures, executed in oil onto paper and framed behind glass.
The composition is dominated by two geometric figures, reminiscent of houses or buildings, rendered in an intersecting grid of warm earthy tone of burnt orange and deep brown – accented with bold strokes of cobalt blue and black outlines. The background is divided into muted blocks of black, grey, and off-white, grounding the figures in a minimal yet evocative setting.
The style is distinctly abstract, drawing influences from Cubism, with an emphasis on geometric fragmentation and balance. The brushstrokes are deliberate and textured, with visible layering that adds depth and richness to the composition. The interplay of sharp angles and curved segments within the forms creates a dynamic contrast, inviting the viewer to interpret the spatial relationships and underlying forms.

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.
The background is composed of a richly textured, raw umber surface made from aged book cloth, divided horizontally at its midpoint, enhancing the piece’s sense of structure and symmetry. The material bears the worn, mottled patina of time, evoking a tactile warmth and nostalgic depth.
Centrally placed is a vertical arrangement of nine small rectangles, each made from a different swatch of book cloth. These blocks vary in hue—soft blues, warm reds, ochres, deep burgundy, and neutral beige—and are carefully aligned to form a grid-like column. Their tight geometry contrasts with the organic wear of the background, creating visual tension and balance.
The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang, Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.
Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials, with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

An evocative mid-century modernist composition that presents a stylised street scene rendered in bold geometric forms and a muted yet richly tonal palette, executed in oil onto board.
Clustered angular buildings are set against a flattened, near-monochrome sky. The artist has used sharp contour lines and sculptural blocks of colour to abstract the rural environment into a rhythmic interplay of shapes.
The palette is dominated by muted browns, dusty greys, charcoal, and olive green, punctuated with subtle brick-red and off-white accents. The expressive, deliberate brushstrokes reveal a textured surface, while the edges of forms are outlined in dark pigment, heightening the structural effect and anchoring the composition with a graphic solidity.

An expressive contemporary Cornish coastal abstraction painting, executed in oil on board and dated 2023.
Abstract in nature and titled ‘Hot Day at Prussia Cove’, the painting captures the essence of Prussia Cove, a secluded and rugged coastal area in Cornwall, on a sweltering summer’s day. The composition is a striking interplay of geometric forms and gestural marks, evoking the interplay of land, sea, and sky under the intensity of the sun.
Executed in a highly textural impasto style, the brushstrokes are thick and expressive, lending the work a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Areas of scraped-back paint reveal underlying layers, adding depth and a sense of weathered, organic movement reminiscent of the Cornish coastline.
The piece features a coastal-inspired palette dominated by cool blues, sandy beiges, and off-whites, contrasted with bold strokes of black and vibrant orange accents. These colours suggest the shimmering seawater, sunlit rocks, and other elements.

A compelling and emotive interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1989.
In this composition, the artist presents a loosely rendered interior scene suffused with mood and memory. A single red chair, boldly defined in the foreground, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s gaze. Behind it, a soft turquoise table supports a glowing white pot, while indistinct shapes and brushstrokes in the background suggest an intimate room.
The style leans toward abstract expressionism with hints of figurative elements. Colours are layered in earthy tones – dusty reds, muddy browns, and muted teals – interrupted by flickers of yellow and white light that evoke a hazy, lived-in atmosphere.
The brushwork is gestural and textured, varying from thick strokes to smoother, blended sweeps, creating a dynamic tension between solidity and blur.
This atmospheric still life captures not just the objects themselves, but the emotional resonance of a quiet, familiar space.

A large, striking and very well balanced abstract composition, painted in oil with areas of collage.
This painting features a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and layered textures, rendered in a muted, earthy palette with bursts of colour.
The dominant tones are cool greys and greens, softened with washes of white and dusty blue, punctuated by vibrant rusty oranges, ochres, and pale pinks. Angular shapes interlock and overlap, creating a sense of movement and fragmentation. There is a textural richness to the surface, likely from mixed media or layered paint application—some sections are soft and diffused, others sharp and defined.
The painting fits within the realm of modernist abstraction, echoing influences from Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. It evokes a sense of organic structure and emotional intensity, while remaining non-representational—there are no identifiable objects, allowing the viewer to explore form, space, and rhythm freely. The mood is contemplative and complex, suggesting inner tension or transformation.
This is a piece that invites close viewing and personal interpretation, offering new shapes and meanings the longer one looks.
The painting is presented in white tray frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An evocative mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic study scene rendered with modernist abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.
The composition is centred around a modest writing desk set against a softly fragmented wall, flanked by a chair and a stool. Overhead shelves cradle books and papers, while a stylised pendant light and a cupboard with colour-blocked panels add architectural intrigue.
To the left, a vase of red tulips placed on a counter offers a splash of natural warmth, creating a gentle contrast with the cool, muted palette of mint greens, dusky blues, pale purples, and earthy brows.
Executed in a flattened style, the artist plays with skewed perspectives and overlapping planes, lending the work a sense of spatial ambiguity and quiet introspection. The brushwork is smooth yet deliberate, with soft transitions in the background and more defined lines around furniture and decor, enhancing the painting’s structured yet intimate atmosphere.

He has juxtaposed the lighter colours against the darker colours in order create depth and perspective within the composition. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, but we get a palpable sense that the figure is surrounded by trees and dappled light. Swift and expressionist brushstrokes have been applied to the canvas, giving this pieces its textured and painterly qualities.

A whimsical and characterful mid-century naïve style street scene composition that captures the vibrant rhythm of daily life in a French village, painted in oil onto board.

Executed in a bold, expressive hand, the painting features flat planes of colour and simplified shapes, hallmarks of post-war European modernism. The palette is both earthy and joyful, with muted greens and blue punctuated by occasional splashes of red, yellow, and teal. Brushstrokes are thick and direct, lending the work a light tactile presence and raw immediacy.

A very large and striking 21st-century abstract geometric painting, executed in oil on canvas.
This mesmerising painting is composed entirely of triangular shapes arranged in a tight, grid-like pattern. The triangles are painted in a restricted but bold palette of black, dark brown, white, and a soft cream, which creates a strong visual rhythm and contrast across the canvas. There is a visual order but the subtle shifts in orientation and colour prevent it from becoming monotonous.
The stark contrast between deep browns, black, and crisp white creates strong visual impact, but the occasional soft cream triangle adds warmth and breaks the binary, giving the eye a place to rest.
From afar the painting looks clean, precise and monotone. But as you move toward it and study its intricacies, you begin to realise the range of colours and the visible brushstrokes, which further enhances the fact that this is indeed a hand painted piece with more subtle details that are not immediately obvious at first glance.
The restrained colour scheme enhances sophistication. It feels modern and timeless, making it versatile in a range of settings from minimalist homes to design-forward spaces.
This large oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing present.

A evocative mid-century figurative painting that presents a nude female figure reclining gracefully on a vibrant, patterned armchair, executed in oil onto board.
Her pose – one arm draped behind her head and eyes gently closed – suggests quiet introspection or rest, capturing a moment of serene vulnerability.
Executed with textural qualities, the artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes that give the figure and background a tactile, almost sculptural presence. The style bridges post-impressionism and early modernist figuration, reminiscent of the School of Paris.
The palette is rich but softly muted: creamy flesh tones are offset by warm earth hues in the hair and chair, punctuated by bursts of red, green, and yellow on the floral upholstery. A cool grey-blue background provides a subtle contrast, enhancing the warmth of the figure’s form.
Overall, this piece speaks to the quiet power of stillness, rendered through a confident yet tender painterly hand.

A expressive and lively mid-century still life from 1958 that captures a vibrant arrangement of fruit and a pitcher set against a boldly abstracted interior, executed in oil onto board.
A pear, an apple, and sliced citrus rest on a geometric table surface, while a pale blue pitcher anchors the composition with sculptural solidity.
Rendered in confident, textured brushstrokes, the painting channels post-Impressionist and early Modernist sensibilities. The palette is rich and varied, blending warm yellows, earthy browns, and intense reds with cooler tones of turquoise and blues. Each hue is applied with visible, gestural strokes that lend the work a sense of immediacy and rhythm.
The background is an interplay of vertical and diagonal planes, suggestive of drapery or wall panels, contributing to the dynamic spatial ambiguity.
This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame. The painting has some craquelure present, but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some paint losses, but this is in keeping with its vintage style.

A striking mid-century abstract painting that explores the structural rhythms of a harbour or port cityscape, rendered through a bold interplay of geometric forms and mirrored reflections, and executed in oil onto board.
Angular shapes and intersecting planes suggest industrial architecture – perhaps cranes and bridges – set against a waterfront backdrop. The lower half of the canvas evokes the surface of water, softly reflecting the rigid structures above.
Executed in thick, expressive brushstrokes, the artist has used a restrained yet dynamic palette of cool sea-blues, teal greens, soft greys, and sandy browns, punctuated by touches of deep navy and burnt orange. The paint is applied with a wide brush, producing a ridged texture that adds dimension and movement to the flattened forms.
Reminiscent of the modernist abstraction of the 1950s and 60s, the work captures the tension between nature and industry, fluidity and form – an evocative study in balance and reflection.

A very well executed still life composition by British artist Nancy Crewe, painted in oil on to board and presented beautifully in a bespoke white tray frame.
It features four pears, arranged in a row across a horizontal composition, on a muted green and brown surface. The backdrop is a softly blended cream and ochre gradient, suggesting a calm, abstracted environment, almost dreamlike in its quietness.
The lighting and deep shadows cast beneath the pears give the composition a sense of solidity and grounding, contrasting with the airy, abstracted background. The simplified palette—earthy greens, ochres, and whites—evokes a feeling of calm introspection.

An engaging contemporary animal composition that captures the stoic presence of a black and white Hereford bull, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.
The bull is set against a minimalistic backdrop of golden hills and a pale lavender-grey sky. The animal stands in full profile, its rounded form and serene expression exuding calm strength and quiet vigilance.
The painting’s style is firmly rooted in folk art traditions, with simplified forms, flat areas of colour, and a lack of perspectival depth that give it a timeless, almost storybook quality. The palette is subdued yet effective with colours that create a harmonious contrast, with touches of pink on the hooves and snout lending a touch of warmth.
Brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with clean, confident lines and solid fills, creating an overall sense of clarity and calm.
This oil on board is housed in unique green frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.
