A very unique mid century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.
Simple yet effective in its composition, a bouquet of different wild flowers and leaves are presented against a grey background.
Rich and saturated earthy colours have been confidently layered and executed through the use of loose and expressive brushstrokes, adding a striking textural and painterly quality to the painting. Several areas of impasto create a three dimensional effect and capture the very essence of the natural objects. The artist has also skilfully captured the shadows of the flowers and leaves against the grey background.
This oil on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A small and very striking mid century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board.
In this simple yet effective composition, the artist draws our attention to a pot of bright yellow flowers in the centre of the painting, set against a darker coloured interior setting.
Painted in a modernist style, each form has been outlined with bold black outlines, emphasising each individual form as well as its three-dimensional quality. Deep, rich and vivid colours have been applied to the surface with broad and expressive brushstrokes, leaving a wonderful light textural and painterly effect to the painting.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and brilliantly executed still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
This still life composition depicts an interior setting where a brown table laid with a white table cloth is set against a blue and green background. An array of objects including a bowl, an orange, a glass and a bottle are arranged across the table.
Through the use of expressive brushstrokes, the artist displays his painterly skills – leveraging qualities of the shading technique as well as creating an effective colour gradient transition to demonstrate depth to the painting. He has also masterfully captured the impact of refraction against glass objects, as we can see part of the pot and orange being enlarged against the glass bottle, as well as part of the green surface being enlarged against the glass ball.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame. There is an area of very minor surface paint loss to the centre of composition (as seen in close ups), but this is not obvious due to the style of the piece. Otherwise, both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A bold and very striking mid century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board.
A group of objects including 2 jars, a bottle, and an assortment of fruit punctuate the centre of the composition. Positioned against a rich white backdrop that could perhaps resemble a tablecloth, their colours are further enhanced, and the remaining colours in the background beautifully pick up the colours of the objects.
A range of saturated shades including brown, blue and green have been used, invigorating the work with depth and liveliness. Through the use of very confident and painterly brushstrokes that have been swiftly applied, the artist skilfully layers colours to form a raw textural quality to this painting. Furthermore, the gradient of colour as well as the bold black outlines wonderfully exemplifies each object’s three dimensionality quality.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a inner border that is painted white, which suits the painting very well. There are some light marks to the frame, but both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition overall.

A fascinating mid century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
Working with a restrained monochrome palette and with painterly expressive brushstrokes, the composition depicts 4 objects including a pitcher and a statue spread across a white piece of paper, and laid on a grey table surface. Each of the objects have been defined by thin bold outlines.
Leaning towards cubism, the artist has fragmented the objects down and represented them from several angles to highlight their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.
This oil on canvas painting is housed in a slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is a small loss to the bottom right corner of the frame, as shown in close ups.

A brilliantly executed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.
The composition features a jar and some fruits on a raised surface, set against a well-coloured background of green, white and yellow. Upon first glance, our eyes are immediately drawn to the jar in the middle whose larger size as well as striking dark brown and white colours that contrast starkly capture our attention.
Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details and has reduced the forms down to expressive brushstrokes, blocks of rich colour as well as bold white outlines.
Distinct expressive multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas, and have been executed with vigour and confidence. The artist displays a deep understanding of colour as he skilfully overlays contrasting shades to demonstrate depth and interest to the painting, and the unique white bold outlines wonderfully accentuate the three dimensionality of the objects.
This oil on canvas is housed in a slim wooden frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

Place atop a table and set against a blue chair and a well-coloured backdrop sit a range of objects that include a flower pot with white flowers in bloom, and an orange.
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 in this painting.
Blocks of contrasting colours in lively shades fill the canvas, and together with the expressive and swift brushstrokes that have been executed in a scribble-like manner, the painting has vibrant and energetic quality to it.

A quirky and fun semi abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board in 1957.
This playful composition has a paradoxical quality to it – depending on what you choose to focus on, you could see bowls, or fish or just shapes and patterns, or a combination of all at once. The colour palette is vivid and distinctive, making it a very striking piece. The texture of the board substrate underneath shows through which gives it that very tactile quality, typical for a mid century modernist piece.
The painting is housed in a wide profile off white wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some general signs of age related wear.

A brilliantly executed still life in pastel, beautifully presented in a black card mount and a silver frame.
The style of the pastel drawing as well as the frame that it comes in are both typically ‘mid century modern’. Vibrant colours juxtapose against cast shadows, creating a sense of mystery within the picture. The objects pictured almost seem to carry personalities of their own that they have intentionally kept hidden. There is a cinematic and theatrical feel to this piece – a feeling that the objects have been grouped together on a stage, knowing that they are bring watched by us. The artist has chosen objects that have strong, clear, statement-like shapes, and has set them against a geometric background, drawing our attention to the lines and forms.
This pastel is framed in its original light silvery-gold frame , and is set behind glass. The pastel is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life oil composition, depicting a flower pot placed on a window sill, with a glimpse into the surroundings outside.
Upon looking at the painting, our eyes are immediately drawn to the flower vase, as its bolder colours are in contrast to the light and gentle pastel shades of the remaining forms.
Through the use of swift and straight brushstrokes, the artist displays his painterly skills by utilising bold outlines as well as qualities of the shading technique and smooth gradation of colour to not only give rise to the various forms in the composition, but also to give the illusion of depth and dimensionality.
This oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame with lovely red undertones. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A bold and intriguing surrealist painting, executed in oil. Surrealism is an artistic movement that focuses on the exploration of the unconscious mind. This work heavily bears its elements, presenting a dream-like imagery of unexpected forms coming together. Apart from a mix of objects including a tomato, cup, and a moon floating around, we can spot an animal and a human form merging as one on the left, and a guitar and vase blending in on the right.
Although peculiar, this work of art is nevertheless fascinating and reminds us that strange beauty can be found in the unexpected.
The painting is housed in a complementary gilt frame which suits the painting well. The frame has minor scuffs and the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
A group of objects including a wine bottle, a pitcher and a tray are placed by the corner of a window sill, and we are also presented with a glimpse of a view of the surrounding houses outside.
The artist has skilfully managed to capture stillness in this painting, providing us (the viewer) an opportunity to observe intricate details such as the shadows cast from the tray and pitcher, as well as reflection of the green wine bottle against the side surface.
A subdued colour palette including light shades of green, yellow and blue have been used, instilling calm in this painting. And the respective objects are defined by thin black outlines, drawing our attention to their individual shapes and forms.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary light wood frame. There is very light craquelure and some very minor areas of paint loss which are only visible upon very close inspection, and do not at all detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some age wear too, commensurate with age.
