• Green Grapes

    Green Grapes

    Sold

    SOLD

    An engaging and very pleasant modernist still life oil composition dated 1958, and painted by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others.

    Three bunches of green grapes take center stage against a striking blue, red, and cream striped backdrop.

    Through careful consideration of colour and shape, the green from the grapes contrasts against the muted shades from the backdrop wonderfully. The softer, curved forms of the grapes also juxtapose against the harder, angular lines of the backdrop.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing.

    Size: 32.5 x 56.5 cm (including frame)

  • Blue Flowers & Lemon

    Blue Flowers & Lemon

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively mid-century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    In the foreground, a vase of striking blue flowers commands attention. Beside the vase, a single lemon, a burst of radiant yellow, also rests on the windowsill. The backdrop presents a view of buildings and houses that have been painted in light pastel shades of blues, yellows and pinks.

    The artist has skilfully simplified the composition down to blocks of geometric shapes in contrasting shades and bold outlines, maintaining the modernist focus on geometric abstraction, as well as demonstrating a sense of depth to the painting.

    The brushstrokes across the canvas are expressive and lightly textured, contributing to the painting’s dynamic quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary cream frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

    Size: 66 x 39 cm (including frame)

  • Place Setting

    Place Setting

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist semi abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

    Reminiscent of the Modern British St Ives painter Ben Nicholson who was also fascinated with table top scenes, this composition features a real interest in cubist techniques. The artist here uses a still life composition of plates, mugs and a bottle on a table with a flattened perspective while still suggesting their three dimensional forms. This composition is executed in a warm colour palette, with a smooth finish.

    The painting is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing. 

    Size: 40 x 55 cm (including frame)

    The pot seen in the photos is also available to purchase and details can be viewed here.

  • Still Life with Herrings

    Still Life with Herrings

    Sold

    SOLD

    An outstanding mid-century modernist style still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas board.

    Simple yet effective in its composition, two smoked herrings take center stage in the painting. They are set against a light yellow, white and striking blue backdrop, with their richer yellow shades and bold outlines allowing their forms to stand out.

    The artist employs a painterly and expressive approach, utilising broad, confident brushstrokes that lend a sense of dynamism and rhythmic flow to the composition.

    The painting celebrates the simplicity and beauty found in still life, and the artist’s confident use of colour and brushstroke elevates the painting beyond its mere representation.

    This oil on canvas board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some marks to its left edge.

    Size: 21 x 40.5 cm (including frame)

  • Vibrant Flowers

    Vibrant Flowers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lively and vibrant mid-century still life painting that conveys a sense of life and dynamism through its abstract style, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    The central focus is an orange vase, positioned on a surface, filled with an explosion of flowers. Abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted, and the painting is characterised by its vivid use of rich colour as well as bold, expressive brushstrokes.

    Through the use of sweeping broad strokes that have been confidently executed, swathes of bright orange, deep purple, golden yellows, and vibrant blues and greens blend and overlap, creating a sense of movement and energy that suggests the lively vibrancy of a floral arrangement in full bloom.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame with an inner gilt window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 69.5 x 81.5 cm (including frame)
