A vibrant and playful mid century cubist modernist composition in oil, painted on board.
With a focus on shape, colour and line, the artist has abstracted what appears to be a still life composition of drinking mugs and vessels, creating a fragmented effect. This stylisation and distortion is typical of the cubist ethos, rejecting the inherited concept that art should copy nature, and instead emphasising the two-dimensionality of the canvas. The artist has done this by reducing and fracturing objects into geometric forms, and then realigning these within a shallow, relief-like space, with multiple vantage points.
This oil on board is housed in very unique and well-suited gilt frame with an inner blue and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight paint loss to its blue border but this is in keeping with its vintage look.

A brilliantly executed and characterful mid-century still life in oil, painted by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

An outstanding mid-century still life composition in oil, that masterfully combines elements of semi-abstraction and the impasto technique to depict a bouquet of roses.
The roses, rendered in shades of red, green, orange, and blue, exude a sense of liveliness, and they have been centered against a light and muted cream background, that imbues the work with a sense of calm.
While the forms of the roses are recognisable, they have been simplified and reduced to their essence through the semi-abstract approach. The artist captures the inherent beauty of the flowers by focusing on their essential shapes and contours.
The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes, using the impasto technique to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, resulting in a three-dimensional quality.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame with an inner linen border. The frame has some scuffs to the edges, and some small losses to its corners. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed and lively modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board, and dated 1955.
The composition presents a group of objects including some fruits as well as cups laid across a well-coloured surface and against beautifully patterned backdrop.
Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed and fragmented the painting down to distinct blocks and geometric forms 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 colours highlights the three-dimensional qualities of each object, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board, and the overall spectrum of rich colours imbues the work with liveliness.
This oil on board is housed in a stunning wood frame with an inner silver and orange window that elevates the painting’s overall uniqueness. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. And the frame has some wear to edges as shown, and there is a white mark to the right side of inner border.

An outstanding mid-century modernist style still life painting, executed in oil onto board.
Simple yet effective in its composition, the artwork presents a group of objects including jugs and bowls carefully arranged across a burnt orange surface that exudes warmth, and placed against a luminous light yellow backdrop.
Celebrating the simplicity and beauty found in everyday objects, the earthenware seem to converse with each other, their forms rendered through a sophisticated progression of rich colours. Starting with the lightest shades of yellow on the left of each object, they gradually transform into shades of orange and then deeper, nuanced browns as they ascend towards the right. This dynamic shift in colour adds a sense of depth and dimensionality, as if the objects are caught in a dance between light and shadow.
The artist has also skilfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, further highlighting the three-dimensional qualities of the objects.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight wear.
