A vibrant and characterful mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.
The painting showcases a blue table setting, where a plate of 3 fish and 3 pears are placed on a red tablecloth.

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 mid-century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
The composition depicts an interior setting where a table laid with objects takes center stage and serves as a focal point. A plate with a fruit sits on its left, and on its right, a bottle and some fruits lay on a white tablecloth strewn across the table. Behind the table, we can also spot a chair, and also what appears to be a window or a painting on the right.
The painting is a masterful display of rich colours, and showcases the artist’s skill in capturing the beauty of everyday objects.
A combination of lightly-textured expressive brushstrokes as well as a range of contrasting hues have been used to paint the objects, highlighting depth and their three-dimensional qualities whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas. The artist has also skilfully managed to capture the shadows of the objects, and we can infer that a light has been on.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame and with an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

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.
