    SOLD.

    A fantastic and well executed modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

  • Harmony

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An uplifting and richly textured mid-century abstract oil composition that explores the wonderful elements of colour and brushstrokes.

    What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique, as thick layers of paint have been applied using broad gestural brushstrokes onto the painting surface. With each pass of the brush adds a little more texture onto the dried paint beneath it, leaving to form an imprint of the artist’s brush as well as a raw textural and three-dimensional quality.

    What is clearly evident is the artist’s deep understanding of colour. Featuring a dance of elegant and lively shades of blue, green and yellow, the colours have been skilfully layered on top and beside one another, enriching the painting with a harmonious feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs and areas of paint residue on the frame.

  • Taupe

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    This abstract composition features an earthy palette with lovely textures created by thick application of oil paint. The subtle nuances in tones and shades create a rather satisfying composition, encouraging our eyes to follow the expressive brushwork around the canvas. The areas of pronounced impasto add a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the painting.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a lovely hessian border and inner and outer windows in white. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor surface marks, commensurate with age ( as shown in photos). These marks are not obvious and do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Terrain

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and visually calming modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil in 1953.

    Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape terrain in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes.

    The painting demonstrates a subtle dance between colours, as planes of soft neutral shades including sand and green have been used to illustrate the distribution of crop across the terrain as well as to create a strong sense of depth and width in the painting.

    Short expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed in a rapid manner, and its textural qualities adds character to the work.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with red undertones and with an inner linen lining. The frame has some very minor areas of marks commensurate with its age.

    Multi-directional planes of contrasting colour have been applied through the use of broad and expressive brushstrokes, imbuing the painting with synergy and movement.

  • Bowls & Bottles

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A seemingly simple yet very effective still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1986.

    This well-balanced still life is one that is very satisfying to look at. Two bottles and three terracotta pots sit on a table, casually and quietly. Yet their presence seems strong, solid, and unyielding.

    The whole physicality of the piece conveys this same sense of solid-ness. Painted onto thick heavy board and framed in a solid wood frame that has been painted off white, this weighty picture has a very even, matte finish that adds to its overall aesthetic.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Coastal Skies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and throughly well-executed expressionist style coastal scape depicting  a row of boats docked near the shore at sunrise, painted in oil and dated 1973.

    The colours and brushstrokes in this painting are a visual feast for the eyes. Energetic and swift brushstrokes have been executed so confidently as they sweep across the canvas, adding a light layer of texture as well as a dynamic touch to the painting; and the vibrant colour palette including green, pink, and blue hues imbue the work with a lively and uplifting feel.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills by not only managing to arrest motion and capture the atmospheric qualities of the sky, and also wonderfully captures the reflection of the colours from the boat and sky cast on the water’s surface.

    This oil on canvas painting is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones. There are some surface marks and scuffs (as shown in the images) on the frame, however this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and is in line with its vintage charm.

  • Fairfield

    Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes. The artist has intentionally left some areas of the substrate showing through, allowing us to see the materiality of the canvas surface, further emphasising the modernist ethos behind his brush.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame which illuminates the painting wonderfully. There is some age toning to the left edge of the surface. Otherwise, the painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Mountain Top

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large mid century modernist abstract landscape, painted in oil onto board.

    A range of patterns, shapes and colours fill the canvas, making up an abstracted landscape that appears to be houses on the side a mountain. This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.

    A figure to the lower right corner punctuates this painting perfectly, drawing attention the fact that although mostly abstracted, this painting still has representational elements.

    At over a metre in length, this striking abstract oil would certainly make a statement in any interior. It is housed in its original mid century frame. There is some paint loss to the left edge of the painting (as shown in photos) but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

  • Pastel Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and highly scenic modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil in 1959.

    A rich selection of pastel colours harmonise brilliantly to form this panoramic view of a village set against a rural landscape and under vast blue skies, as well as to create great depth.

    Executed in a semi-impressionist manner – short, confident and spontaneous multi-directional brushstrokes have been applied swiftly onto the canvas, capturing the lively essence of this village and beautiful landscape.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary thin wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Silhouettes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and textured mid century oil, painted onto canvas.

    This rather mysterious painting features a group of figures gathering and judging from their attire of dark robes, they appear to be monks. There is a real sense of movement within the picture, almost as if it the artist has painted a slightly blurry photograph. We get a palpable sense of the figures walking and gathering. The details of the figures such as their facial features, and the location they are at has been left out intentionally – the artist has chosen to focus on the shapes and forms of the figures, leaving only their silhouettes, juxtaposing their dark robes against the lighter white walls of the building behind them.

    Thick layers of paint have been applied with both palette knife and brush, giving the picture a wonderful depth. The artist has used a restrained palette of black, blue, brown and white, which focuses our attention on the forms and figures.

    The horizontally long shape of the artwork would make it an ideal piece to hang above a piece of furniture. Its restrained yet deep palette give it a flexibility, allowing it to suit both classic and modern interiors.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffing but this is in keeping with its age and style.

  • The Snowy Path

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An enchanting and lively oil painting depicting a group of well-dressed figures walking through a snow-filled pathway.

    Powerful and expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed to paint the winter landscape; and there is also the presence of the impasto technique – where the artist has applied thick layers of paint on the canvas, giving it an outstanding textural feel and three-dimensional appearance.

    The painting is housed in a thin gold frame that illuminates the painting wonderfully. It has some areas of marks and scuffs along its edges (as shown in the images). The painting is in good vintage condition. There is a small area to the top section which has been restored where there was previously a spot of surface paint loss.

  • View of the Wharf

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and calming view of Stadsgården – the wharf on the shore of the Baltic Sea in Stockholm, Sweden. The artist has painted in an expressive manner – swift yet delicate strokes fill the canvas, creating this panoramic harbour scene. On the left side of the painting we can just see side wall and top edge of a balcony, where we can picture ourselves (or the artist) standing and looking out at the beautiful view before us.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which is a robust light wood frame with a wide profile and visible grain. There is a also a green edging to the frame (as shown), which adds a lovely effect. The painting has some overall scattered craquelure, typical for a painting of this age.

  • Fauvist Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large mid century oil on canvas of a semi abstract landscape, painted in 1955.

    Reminiscent of the 20th century modernist style of ‘fauvism’, this painting features the classic fauve feature of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element. in this picture, the colour establishes a structure within the work without being true to the natural world. Its brushstrokes also carry the fauve style of being short, separated and unblended, creating a sense of movement within the picture.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary dark blue floater frame. This frame allows the edges of the canvas to be in full view, with a small gap between the canvas and the frame, giving it a more contemporary look.  The painting and frame are in good vintage condition with no outstanding issues.

  • Coastal Houses

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and scenic mid century oil painting presenting a view of houses lined by a coastal front. As evening sets, hues of pink fill the sky and the shimmering blue water is beaming with serenity.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes and form to create a sense of depth and space.

    Lively colours and expressive multi-directional brushstrokes have been used extensively in this work, producing distinct forms and breathing life into this overall striking composition.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a rustic wood frame with an inner linen lining . There are some watermarks on the frame as shown in the images but does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Bond

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century gouache and watercolour figure composition, painted in 1955.

    A semi abstract depiction of a matador is the focus of this skilfully executed portrait. The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, focusing instead on the outlines, forms, shapes and colours. Behind the figure is an abstracted background – large sections of bright colours juxtapose the figure and give it its context and sense of space and depth.  The brushwork on the figure is much more free-form in comparison to the background which is far more structured, creating a striking contrast between them both.

    Painted in both gouache and watercolour onto paper, it is framed within a card mount and a solid oak wood frame. The card mount has some slight age toning and the frame has some minor scuffs typical for its age. The painting is in good vintage condition and sits behind glass, as shown.

  • En Route

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil and wonderfully executed mid 20th century landscape street scene composition, rendered in oil in a semi-abstracted manner.

    Although pictorial details have been blurred, we can see 2 figures in black and a figure in white on a walkway heading towards a monumental building in the background.

    This piece radiates calmness and serenity – brought forth through the use of wonderful subtle and muted pastel tones that transition from one shade to the next so seamlessly and that gives the painting its compositional depth; as well as through the use of gentle and lightly textured brushstrokes.

    SOLD.

    Dated 1944, this mid century oil on board features broad, expressive brushwork and a post impressionist style.

    This large painting is housed within a  wide profile gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general scuffing which is commensurate with its age.

  • Mid Century Man

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large and striking mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1945. Executed in a post impressionist style, the artist has used non naturalistic colours for both the figure and the background. The background has largely been painted in sections of colour blocks, creating a sense of depth through geometric shapes.

    The subject matter is focused  – a single male figure with a cane stands in a street by a street lamp. He has stopped his walk and is standing casually, listening and looking to something in front of him (which could be us, the viewer). His hand is placed casually in his left pocket, legs crossed, shoulders slumped, and cigarette hanging loosely between his lips.

    Although the figure has been painted in a looser and more expressive manner compared to the flat planes of the background, the artist has mirrored the colours in his suit to the colours in the background, creating a satisfying harmony within the picture.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century gilt and wood frame, and is in excellent vintage condition.

The pastel colour palette creates a very calming atmosphere within the picture, enhanced by the small and soft impressionist brushstrokes which are reminiscent of works by the pointillist artist Georges Seurat.

    The painting is housed in a distressed cream and gilt frame which suits it perfectly, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Coast

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted on to canvas.

    Although largely abstract in style, we are still able to discern that the artist is depicting a landscape. We are able to make out a tree to the left most edge of the composition, as well as a house that sits behind it. Larges swathes of deep and saturated colour line the bottom half of the canvas, making up the foreground of the picture. Beyond that, different shades of blue indicate the sea and then the sky. The artist has used contrasting colours and texture to create a sense of depth and space.

    This large oil is housed in a very complementary rustic frame, which suits it wonderfully. This painting would fit well in both classic and contemporary interiors. Its large size and expressive use of colour make it a real statement piece. The painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There are some scattered areas of craquelure, but the paint layer is stable overall.

  • Spring Garden

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and lively picturesque landscape composition, executed in oil in 1948.

    The painting depicts a partial view of a balcony overlooking a well-manicured garden filled with colourful blooms and lush trees, as well as views of the calm blue sea that lies beyond it. The white chair in the foreground as well as garden furniture in the middle of the painting are empty, almost inviting and tempting the viewer to take a seat and enjoy the charming spring view.

    Executed with expressive and painterly brushstrokes in vibrant and saturated colours including green and orange, this artwork is sure to brighten any interior setting and uplift one’s mood.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautifully patterned wood frame with carvings. There are light scattered areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age), as well as a small area of paint loss along the left edge of the work (as shown in the photos). Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

  • The Cliff

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and expressive mid century landscape composition, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.

    Upon first glance, our eye our drawn to the left corner of the painting depicting houses on the edge of a cliff. These darker shades first capture our attention, as our eyes then shift focus, making a glance towards the right side of the work, as the colours transition to lighter shades.

    Expressive and painterly brushstrokes fill the canvas; and the artist has chosen a restrained palette comprising varying shades of brown, yellow and blue. These mixtures of dark and light tones not only make the work well-balanced, but imbue the painting with both a moody and uplifting feel.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century wood frame with visible grains, and with an inner silver and linen lining. There are some minor marks and scuffs on the frame, commensurate for its age.
