Tulips in Pastel

Sold

SOLD

A very elegant mid century modernist floral oil composition, painted onto canvas.

In this floral piece we have light pink tulips in a blue vase, painted in an expressionist style. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in a range of soft, pastel colours make up this composition. The flowers and vase is set against a background of light blue and pink, which transitions into a richer blue as we move down the canvas. There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which is really easy on the eye. Floral pieces like these have a timelessness to them which make them in an easy fit in many interior settings. The lightness to this one would certainly uplift the mood of a space.

The painting is housed in a very well suited frame with a linen lined border as well as an inner gilt border which illuminates the painting wonderfully. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor age wear.

Yellow & Green Ball

Sold

SOLD

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 on the reverse 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 vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface. 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 uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green and yellow circles, 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 painting is wonderfully presented in a distressed style frame with ridge detail, and an inner linen-lined border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 62.5 x 71.5 cm (including frame)

Four Pears

Sold

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed 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.

Cederberg is known for his exquisite still lifes of pears, which always capture the delightful quirkiness of this lovely fruit. He focuses on their forms, approaching the fruit and its surroundings with a modernist ethos. Both the background and objects within this picture have been painted in flat planes of colour, creating a blocky composition. There is a beautiful balance to the horizontal composition, which Cederberg is known to be adept at achieving.

In this excellent composition, an assortment of objects including three pears, a pipe, a pitcher, a lemon, and a book are thoughtfully laid out on a wooden surface.

Working with a rich and saturated colour palette, the objects appear illuminated. They are set against a backdrop of darker shades including blue, red, black, and green that intermingle, creating a visually striking contrast that makes the bowl of pears stand out more.

Working with a rich colour palette comprising shades of green, brown, yellow, and white, the artist has skilfully captured the three-dimensional qualities of the objects and the intricate grain of the wood, whilst simultaneously emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

Pot & Bowl

Sold

SOLD

A captivating mid-century modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

The focal point is a blue pot nestled within a larger bowl, both sitting atop a dark wood brown surface, and set against a cream backdrop.

The colour palette features muted and subdued shades of brown, blue, and cream. Each hue is carefully selected to complement the overall aesthetic, creating a harmonious balance throughout the piece.
