SOLD
A 20th century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.
This painting is reminiscent of the British Modern artist Peter Lanyon, who painted landscape both from many points of view, many visual perspectives, but also conceptually from different perspectives. Although it is unclear what this particular piece is inspired by (perhaps it not meant to be representative of anything at all!), it is clear that the artist is focused on the rhythm and meeting of forms. We see a mix of both harder and softer forms, built up in layers of colour, where lines and shapes meet and intersect on planes of colour behind it.
This oil on board is presented in a wide walnut veneered frame that suits it well. Both the painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some very minor wear to the frame commensurate with age.
Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, we may not be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

SOLD
A captivating original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.
A group of unidentified objects including vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface with a splash of striking red. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist has used a relatively monochrome palette with pops of colour including the green and yellow circles and red backdrop, which draw our eye to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with carved patterns. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style still-life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.
The painting presents a thoughtful arrangement of everyday objects, including plates, cups, some fruit and a knife, laid across a tabletop. The composition is defined by strong, simplified forms and an emphasis on shape and balance, characteristic of modernist abstraction.
The artist has used a muted colour palette dominated by cool and warm earthy tones—grey, beige, brown, with touches of blue and orange-red that provide subtle contrast. The colours are layered in blocks, creating a sense of depth while maintaining the flatness of the canvas.
The brushwork is broad and visible. The edges of the shapes are soft rather than sharply defined. The composition captures the essence of the objects without focusing on intricate details, allowing the viewer to appreciate the play of shapes and colours.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very restful mid century modernist still life, painted in oil on to canvas that has been laid onto board.
The subject of this painting focuses on a simple grouping of 3 apples, sitting on a table. The colour palette is also restrained, with mainly greens and blues. As a result of this, our focus is very much directed towards the form of the apples as well as the background, without any distraction. It draws our attention to the beauty of simplicity. The reflection of the 3 apples has been brilliantly executed, and displays the skill of the artist’s hand. The artist has created a wonderful texture to the piece using a very interesting technique of alternating the thickness of the paint, resulting in more depth and complexity.
This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, and is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very slight scuffs.

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist still life in oil, painted onto canvas.
Deep, earthy colours make up this subdued palette, which is composed of a trio of bottles and 2 oranges atop a table. There is a distinct focus on form and line, where the artist has played with the shape of the objects and their shadows against geometrical planes. Areas of impasto are visible, where the paint has been painted thickly and we can see the directional strokes of the artist’s brush, creating a painterly effect. The texture of the painted surface also adds the three dimensionality of the painting, as well as highlights the effect of light on the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. There is a small area of paint loss at the lower right corner of the painting (as shown) but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.
