  • Neighbourhood Stroll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid century modernist style oil painting presenting an every day scene of a neighbourhood

    Two figures can be seen strolling down a pathway, as rows of houses and lush greenery fill the rest of the painting.

    A muted earthy colour palette of reds, browns and greens have been used, capturing the warmth of this neighbourhood.

    The artist displays his painterly skills – applying dabs of thick paint swiftly onto the canvas to create a raw textural effect and instilling the work with an energetic feel.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. There is some surface paint loss to the edges of the frame (as shown in the images), but this suits the overall vintage style of the painting.

  • Chic

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A joyful and visually striking semi-abstract mid century oil portrait by Swedish painter Hans Osswald, whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm as well as the Malmö Museum.

    The painting depicts a silhouette of a stylishly dressed woman wearing tie, set against a well-coloured background.

    A myriad of rich and bold shades have been used to create this well-balanced composition; and the artist has skilfully used several layers as well as blocks of contrasting tones to reveal form, texture and interest.

    Broad and expressive brushstrokes that have been executed so confidently fill the canvas, adding a lovely texture and imbuing the work with liveliness. Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are scattered areas of craquelure, and also small areas of paint loss to the lower right corner of the painting. However, this is in line with its vintage feel and does not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

    Size: 88 x 71 cm (including frame)

  • Mother

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large and very unique gouache painting of a mother feeding her baby, painted in a distinctly modernist style.

    The subject of the painting – a mother breastfeeding her child – is an intimate, personal one. Yet intriguingly, the style in which the artist had chosen to depict this scene seems to remove this element of intimacy, at least at first glance.  What we notice at first are the lines and shapes rather than the actual scene.  The artist has created a geometric effect within the picture, playing with shape, form, line, colour and pattern. Bold outlines in black demarcate each of the coloured sections, imbuing it with an architectural effect.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined slip.  The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some age toning to the inner section of the frame, and some minor scuffing to the outer edges. The painting is set behind a thick pane of glass.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and well-detailed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil in 1975.

    The artwork depicts a table top setting featuring a group of mushrooms, placed against a soothing green coloured background.

    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, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

    Swift and lively brushstrokes fill the canvas; and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skillfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.

    This oil on board painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, of which has some areas of marks and scuffs, as well as age toning to its inner section.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, with the artist focusing on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space.

    A mix of rustic earthy colours as well as rich tones of red, yellow and blue have been used to create this tranquil picture; and the distinct and painterly multi-directional brushstrokes adds wonderful texture and character to the work.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed wood frame with a deep profile and with an inner white window. There are small areas of paint loss to inner section of the frame on the left side but this does not detract from the painting.

    Executed in rich colours and confident brushstrokes, this artwork depicts 2 figures sitting by the ocean during sunset, admiring the fine spectacle and beauty of nature set before their eyes.

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and wonderfully executed oil painting of boats docked at a harbour, right before the sun begins to rise during blue hour.

    The softness of the brushstrokes juxtapose well with the angular lines and saturated palette, alluding to the pleasant quietude on this calm morning.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A wonderful and delightful scene of a garden party.

    Two ladies are sat on a bench, chatting away and drinking tea from a table with a beautiful floral arrangement, as they watch their 2 young daughters play nearby. The artist has composed the scene in an impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

    A pleasant mid 20th century composition of a street scene, executed in oil.

    It is early in the morning, and a woman depicted carrying a basket on her head, and walking down an empty street of a town that is lined with rows of buildings and trees.

    Soft painterly brushstrokes have been applied to create this charming modernist composition; and the painting is also characterised by an array of warm colours that are reflective of the cosiness of this quiet  neighbourhood.

    This oil painting has been painted onto canvas and laid down onto board. It is housed in a lovely grainy wood frame. There are some surface marks and ageing to inner section of frame; however this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and is in lined to its vintage feel.

  • Mother & Child

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully executed semi-abstract modernist style mixed media painting.

    The artwork presents figures of a mother and child, composed from cutout geometric and angular shapes to create the respective forms.

    The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.

    In addition to the medium of oil, the artist has used an aggregate on top of oil to create this striking artwork. This piece is brimming with character, as there is an added unique textural feel to its surface.

    The painting is very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertone, and of which has a distinct fractured patterning. That has some areas of minor marks and paint loss on the frame.

  • Window View

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quirky, cheery mid century oil of flowers on a window sill, painted onto canvas. Delicate white flowers sit in a decorative blue and red vase that is perched on a window sill, framed by yellow curtains. We can just make out the view out the window, where we see the tops of  several colourful buildings.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame that suits it very well, and brings out the colours in the painting. There are small areas of paint loss and craquelure to the lower half of the painting (as shown in close ups), typical for an oil of this age, but these losses are fairly inconspicuous.

    A homely oil painting depicting a pot of flowers and stack of books on a table by a window, painted in 1937. This textured painting has several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface. There is an easiness to this painting, reminding us of weekend mornings having a good read aside some lovely blooms.

  • Misty Winter

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A subtle and sombre composition of a forest landscape, executed in oil in 1962.

    The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a vast snow-covered landscape filled with trees, as they fade into the distance.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette; and together with the use of very fine and light brushstrokes – he has skillfully managed to create a lovely soft and misty effect, as well as a visual calm and stillness throughout the painting.

  • Tempest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons.  The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Craftsmanship

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking still life composition that has been painted onto board. The artist has used a variety of media, including oil and gouache, to render this detailed composition. The surface of the board has been painted over with a matte textured white, and on top of that the artist has used oil, gouache and watercolour to paint the objects, resulting in a very striking colour palette that really stands out from the surface, while at the same time achieving an incredible level of detail. The choice of tools and objects have created a very well balanced horizontal composition, while at the time drawing the viewer in and encouraging us to inspect all the details. The painting is housed in a greenish-blue wood slip that frames it very well, giving it a contemporary feel. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Beach

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A gorgeous coastal scape featuring 2 boats left ashore, amidst luscious plants by a secluded beach.

    The artist has used a light and muted colour palette; and what is most striking is the visible and energetic brushstrokes that have been executed with so much confidence and certainty in directional flow to give rise to the various forms.

    The painting is framed in a unique and characterful wood and gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The grain of the wood frame has purposefully been left exposed under the gilt coating, adding a wonderful effect.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Nuns

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely mid-century oil painting featuring a group of nuns walking through an alleyway between buildings, painted in 1955.

    Leaning towards abstraction, the artist has flattened and simplified the forms, reducing them down to planes of contrasting colour. Clearly working with a modernist ethos in mind, he has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and has played with shape, line, colour and form to create a sense of depth and space.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with visible grain and an inner fabric lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

    A stunningly executed mid century floral still life, painted in oil in a cubist manner.

The paper has some age toning but this in keeping with their vintage style. The frames have some minor scuffs but again, this is in keeping with the overall style.

  • Shapes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century oil painting shows distinct elements of cubist influences:  what appears to possibly be fishing nets drying along the coast have been reduced to simplified coloured shapes from different angles, resulting in a picture that appears fragmented and abstracted. Following the cubist ethos, the artist has broken down the landscape and the objects within it down into distinct areas, or planes. This has emphasised the two dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of realistic depth.

    This oil painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that brings out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Bright Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A luminous and vibrant floral still life rendered in pastel.  In this picture, we see a mix of flowers including blue and orange cornflowers, white daisies and red lilies, all set against lush long green leaves. On either side of the vase sit an orange and a bunch grapes. The artist has used the medium of pastel to achieve a wonderfully luscious and velvety texture in the floral picture, while imbuing it with a distinct expressiveness and luminosity. The textural effect of the pastel medium gives this painting wonderful depth and three dimensionality.

    The pastel is housed in a fantastic deep gilt and red frame. The pastel is protected behind thick glass. Pastels never crack, yellow or darken over time and when protected behind glass, its vibrancy and richness lasts for centuries.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A cleverly executed, charming line portrait of a lady, draw in ink.

Reminiscent of the line drawings of Pablo Picasso, this drawing reduces what would normally be a complicated image to powerful fluid lines.

  • Abstract Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking miniature landscape oil painting, executed in an abstract manner, painted in 1987.

    Upon first glance we notice the broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes filling up the canvas of this lively composition.

    As our eyes rest on the composition, we begin to take in the way in which artist has skilfully managed to abstract what appears to be a pleasant landscape (blue and purple skies in the background, lush greenery in the foreground) through the use of contrasting colours.

    This oil on canvas housed in a white box frame would make a lovely statement piece that would suit a shelf or a gallery hang perfectly. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The pins that have been used to fix the canvas onto the frame are visible around the outside edges of the frame, as shown in photos.
