After the Rain

Sold

SOLD

A nostalgic mid-century street scene painting that captures a moment of hushed movement after rainfall, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition captures figures walking along a wet, reflective roadway beneath a pale, cloud-laden sky. A modest row of houses recedes into the distance, while bare winter trees punctuate the composition, their slender trunks guiding the eye along the street’s gentle perspective. The pedestrians are rendered with understated anonymity, suggesting everyday life unfolding quietly rather than a specific narrative.

Stylistically, the painting balances realism with painterly abstraction. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, favouring mood and atmosphere over fine detail. The colour palette is restrained and harmonious: cool greys, muted blues, and soft whites dominate the sky and pavement, contrasted by earthy browns, mossy greens, and deep charcoals in the buildings and figures.

The brushwork is loose yet controlled. Broad, horizontal strokes suggest the sheen of rain on the street, while lighter, scumbled layers in the sky create a sense of drifting cloud and damp air. Figures are defined with economical marks, giving them a quiet solidity without overstatement. Overall, the painting conveys calm introspection, capturing the poetic stillness of a street moment suspended between weather and movement.

This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wide-profile wood frame that complements the painting’s mid-century character. The artwork itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows age-commensurate wear, including a few marks to its edges as shown, however this does not detract from its overall presentation.

The White Doors
£515
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that presents a quietly striking view of a barn facade, painted in oil onto canvas board.

The composition is front-facing and architectural, reducing the subject to its essential planes and proportions. White doors – each slightly misaligned and marked by age – create a rhythmic sequence across the surface, punctuated by hinges, latches, and subtle irregularities in the wood.

Stylistically, the work reflects a mid-century modern sensibility, where everyday vernacular architecture is treated with restraint and formal clarity. The artist balances realism with a gently abstracted approach, emphasising geometry, repetition, and surface texture over narrative detail.

The colour palette is warm yet grounded: rich reds dominate the background, softened by the chalky whites and pale greys of the doors. Muted shadows and earthy undertones add depth, while the roofline introduces a darker band that anchors the composition.

Brushstrokes are deliberate and tactile, particularly visible in the vertical planks and the layered paint on the doors. The handling of paint suggests careful observation: neither loose nor overly polished, allowing the texture of wood and the passage of time to subtly emerge. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of stillness and quiet endurance, capturing beauty in the functional and the worn.

This oil on canvas board is mounted onto a complementary silver painted wood frame with an inner wood border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Old Town

Sold

SOLD

A charming, atmospheric street scene rendered in oil onto board, with a warm, nostalgic tone.

It captures a European old-town alleyway, showing a narrow, cobblestone street lined with tall ochre and terracotta-coloured buildings. The architecture features classic stone archways, multi-pane windows, and slanted rooftops with chimneys, evoking a sense of timelessness and quiet charm. Several small, loosely rendered human figures animate the scene, creating depth and movement.

The overall feel is calm and contemplative, bathed in soft natural light from a lightly clouded sky. There’s a slight coolness in the air, reflected in the pale blue and grey tones of the sky and shadows. Despite being sparsely populated, the street feels alive, suggesting the gentle hum of daily life. The brushwork is tight but expressive, with small, visible strokes in the sky and textured surfaces on the buildings, giving the painting a lived-in, tactile quality.

This is the kind of painting that tells a story of ordinary moments, old places, and the soft rhythms of daily life in a historic city.

This oil on board is housed in a grey painted wide bevelled wood frame which complements it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown in the photos.

Harbour Promenade
£430
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and expressive street-and-harbour scene painting that captures a lively moment along the waterfront, executed in oil onto board and dated 1976.

Several figures stroll casually along the promenade: some walking in pairs, others heading toward a moored sailboat – while a small dog trots alongside its owner. Across the water, soft-edged buildings form a pastel skyline, giving the piece a distinctly coastal atmosphere. The scene feels leisurely and sunlit, evoking the quiet rhythm of everyday life by the marina.

Rendered in a light, impressionistic hand, the artist has used loose, confident brushstrokes to suggest movement and light without over-defining forms. The palette consists of lively pastels: sky blues, coral pinks, yellows, greens – layered in translucent strokes that create a luminous, breezy mood. The brushwork is relaxed and painterly, allowing the underlying texture of each stroke to remain visible and enhancing the sense of spontaneity.

This oil on board is presented in a well-suited textured linen-covered matting paired with a slim gilt inner window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light surface marks present to its inner frame on the left side.

Sunlit Village
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A tranquil mid-century townscape that captures a quiet hillside settlement basking in the stillness of the afternoon sun, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The composition is defined by a rhythmic arrangement of geometric buildings, their flat roofs and muted facades rendered in blocks of brown, sienna, and cream. Behind them, deep green hills rise gently against a cool light turquoise sky, grounding the otherwise minimal architectural forms in a serene landscape.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has used broad, confident brushstrokes and thickly applied oil paint to reduce the scene to its essential planes of colour and light. Shadows are simplified into dark, earthy tones, while sunlit walls glow with pale yellows and greens. The absence of figures and fine detail lends the painting a contemplative, timeless quality: an exploration of harmony between manmade structure and the natural world.

The colour palette is warm yet subdued. The brushwork is deliberate and textural, creating a tactile surface that enhances the architectural solidity of the forms while preserving a painterly spontaneity. The restrained use of perspective and tone evokes the balanced calm characteristic of mid-century European modernist painting.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a inner gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows minor signs of age wear though these do not detract from its overall presentation.

Chair by the Archway
£455
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Shared Moments
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A beautifully atmospheric mid-century modernist oil painting depicting two figures in a quiet interior scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

One is seated at a table, leaning gently forward, while the other stands nearby, their forms simplified and softened, inviting the viewer into an intimate moment. Light floods in from a large window in the background, casting a pale blue glow that contrasts against the deeper, earthy tones of the room.

Rendered with expressive brushwork and impasto, the artist has used broad, confident strokes to build form and texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The muted greys, dusky mauves, and slate blues are gently warmed by accents of ochre and terracotta in the standing figure’s clothing, adding a subtle focal point to the composition.

The scene carries a sense of stillness and familiarity – a fleeting domestic moment captured through abstraction, where emotion is conveyed not through facial detail but through posture, colour harmony, and the soft diffusion of light.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary mid-century style frame with a softly textured, linen lined surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Moonlit Silhouettes
£885
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An introspective mid-century modernist painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

A serene and poetic scene unfolds beneath a pale blue evening sky, where two simplified figures stand in quiet conversation beside a cluster of whitewashed buildings. Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is reduced to pure geometric forms – the gabled roofs forming clean angular shapes against a flat expanse of blue.

The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric: powder blue for the sky, soft off-white for the buildings, deep charcoal for the ground and rooftops, and a delicate touch of brighter blue in the garment of the standing figure. A pale circular moon hangs in the sky, adding a gentle sense of stillness and introspection.

Brushwork is intentionally minimal and smooth, favouring broad, even planes of colour with softened edges that blur very slightly, giving the piece a dreamlike quality. The figures are reduced to silhouettes – faceless, quietly present – allowing the viewer to project their own story into the scene.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame linen lined frame with a silver border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

Passing Moments
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that captures a fleeting atmospheric street scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is set against the backdrop of a large building. In the foreground, scattered figures in coats and hats move across an open square, their simplified forms rendered with brisk, confident brushstrokes. Leafless trees punctuate the composition, their dark linear trunks rising against the pale ground, while a lamp post anchors the right-hand side.

The artist has used a restrained yet evocative palette: earthy ochres and muted greens dominate the architecture and square, while deep blues, blacks, and touches of red provide contrast and rhythm throughout the work. The brushwork is bold and expressive, with textured strokes conveying movement and liveliness in the urban setting.

The scene has a strong narrative presence – figures cross paths under a dusky sky, hinting at the quiet routines of city life. The painting balances structure with spontaneity, embodying the modernist spirit of mid-century urban scenes.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Echoes of the Street
£605
Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

An atmospheric modernist style mid-century cityscape painting that captures a quiet urban street running alongside a canal, painted in oil onto canvas.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used broad, simplified forms and minimal detail to emphasise mood over realism. The palette is composed of muted greys, earthy browns, and beige, softened by pale green reflections in the canal water. The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, with visible textures and layered tonal variations that add depth to the otherwise stark geometry.

There is a quiet melancholy to the work, evoking a sense of solitude and introspection within the starkness of the urban landscape.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary ridged white-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs along its edges as shown.

Village Pathway
£575
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures a female figure walking along a village pathway, gracefully balancing a vessel on her head, executed in oil onto board.

The woman, dressed in a flowing blue skirt and dark top, is set against a backdrop of geometric, almost abstracted row of houses that recede rhythmically into the distance.

Modernist in its ethos, the artist has reduced the scene into bold, flattened forms and simplified shapes. There’s a more structured feel in the angular rooftops and the faceted treatment of architecture and landscape, while the figure maintains a sense of movement and gesture.

The colour palette is muted, with gentle contrasts between warm and cool tones. The bright blue of the skirt stands out as a focal point, anchoring the viewer’s eye.

The paint is applied with deliberate, confident strokes – thick and flat in some areas, with visible texture. The brushwork emphasises shape and form over fine detail, enhancing the painting’s graphic, almost mosaic-like quality.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

£625
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet very striking modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

The painting depicts a bustling scene in a city with a tram and some figures strolling in the foreground, and a building motif situated in the background of the painting.

The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the tram, building and figures with a thin black outline, and the painting has a sketch-like quality. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

The painting is characterised by a beautiful rich palette, as well as expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes that reflect the uplifting energy of the city.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has marks to its linen border as shown.

Mediterranean Rooftops
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that captures the sunlit charm of a coastal Mediterranean village, where whitewashed houses rise in layered planes against the calm backdrop of the sea, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

The subject matter focuses on architectural forms – flat rooftops, arched facades, and shaded recesses – simplified into interlocking blocks of light and shadow. A few dark accents of trees break the uniformity of white, grounding the composition with contrast.

Painted in a modernist style, the work emphasizes structure and atmosphere over detail, with an almost abstract quality to the geometry of the buildings. The palette is restrained, dominated by soft whites, pale greys, and cool sky blues, punctuated by deep green-blacks that suggest foliage.

The brushstrokes are broad, fluid, and confident, applied in sweeping motions that suggest light glancing across plaster walls. Layers of paint overlap loosely, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, while still retaining a balance of form and rhythm. The overall effect is serene yet dynamic – an evocative study of place through shape, tone, and atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. There is a small indentation to the canvas on the top half, otherwise the painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

Houses with Red Roofs
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid-century painting that presents a semi-abstracted urban scene with houses, executed in oil onto canvas.

Angular rooftops in bold terracotta tones dominate the composition, intersecting with planes of pale green, lavender, and cream. A suggestion of a tree in soft green stands alongside the houses, its form simplified into blocky, geometric shapes. The sun, a muted pink disc, hovers subtly in the background, adding a sense of atmosphere.

The palette balances warm hues with muted pastels, giving the work both vibrancy and restraint. The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, with areas where the paint has been applied more thickly, creating surface depth and variation. The overall effect is a harmonious interplay of abstraction and representation, where familiar architectural forms are distilled into their essential planes of colour and shape.

Quiet Street Corner
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street corner, where a row of low, yellow facades with shopfront windows are nestled beneath steep red-brown rooftops, executed in oil onto board and dated 1969.

Behind them, tall apartment blocks rise in muted yellow and cream, their flat walls punctuated by chimneys and rooflines silhouetted against a pale blue sky. The streets are empty, save for a lone streetlamp and utility box, lending the scene a still, almost cinematic quality.

The style blends modernist simplification with a touch of naïve precision, reducing architectural forms to bold, geometric planes while retaining enough detail to suggest texture and age. Colours are earthy and atmospheric -browns, and muted yellows dominate, contrasted by the cool grey of the street and the soft blue above. The brushwork is deliberate and smooth in the larger planes, while finer strokes animate the rooftops and wall textures, giving the surfaces a gently worn, lived-in feel.

Executed in a bold, expressionistic style, the artist has used thick, confident impasto brushstrokes, allowing the paint to stand proud from the surface and convey a palpable sense of texture and movement.

A mid-century painting that captures the quiet charm of a rustic village scene, executed painted in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of brown and cream houses with sloping, dark roofs are nestle into the landscape, their forms framed by a lush green hillside under a muted blue sky. In the courtyard, a lone figure in a deep blue dress stands near a building, while a line of laundry – vivid in red, blue, and white, sways gently between posts. A slender tree with textured, leafy strokes adds rhythm and movement to the composition, while a burst of orange flowers brightens the earthy tones.

Executed in a modernist style, the work uses simplified, almost blocky architectural forms, contrasting with the more expressive handling of foliage and sky. The palette blends warm ochres, terracottas, and earthy browns with cool greens and blues, creating a balanced, atmospheric harmony.

Coastal Descent
£545
Available

Free UK shipping Only.

A very soothing mid-century modernist painting that captures a sun-drenched coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

The viewer is positioned atop a steep stone path that winds between whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and geometric stone facades, descending toward the vivid blue sea. Three figures clad in dark robes – possibly local women carrying items on their heads – add a quiet human rhythm to the otherwise architectural scene.

Rendered in flattened planes and simplified forms, the painting embraces a distinctly modernist approach. The brushwork is thick and confident, with textures and scumbled surfaces lending weight to the cobbled path and sky alike. The palette is subdued yet radiant: earthy browns and clay reds contrast with greys, chalky whites, and Mediterranean blues, invoking both warmth and distance.

Sunlit Facades

Free UK, Europe & Singapore Shipping.

A charming mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet village street in Spain, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

The composition is anchored by whitewashed buildings with yellow and terracotta roofs, stacked geometrically against a bright sky. The perspective flattens the scene slightly, lending a graphic, almost cubist sensibility.

Rendered in oil, the artist has used confident, blocky brushstrokes to define shadows and forms. Angular planes and muted earth tones – sage green, charcoal grey, and hints of warm brown—contrast with brilliant whites and a crisp blue sky. The painting captures the play of sunlight on architecture, with simplified details like shuttered windows, steep stone steps, and doors suggested rather than articulated.

There is a distinct sense of rhythm in the repetition of rooftops and telegraph lines that echo across the canvas.

Facade in Focus
£495
Available

Free UK Shipping Only

A striking street scene that depicts a neighbourhood with robust, urban buildings rendered in bold linear rhythm, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

The façades are portrayed in a schematic and stylised manner, as strong black outlines segment the pale grey and white surfaces. Set against a smooth grey street with cobblestone detailing, the scene is framed by brick pillars and a wrought-iron fence, suggesting a modest residential area. A lone tree, ablaze with orange and green leaves, punctuates the structured composition and introduces a vivid contrast—perhaps hinting at early autumn.

Executed in a modernist style, the work is characterised by its simplified forms, matte application, and confident brushwork. There is little modulation or blending – colours are laid down decisively, giving the piece a graphic, almost print-like clarity. The result is a striking yet quiet depiction of place, both grounded in reality and filtered through a stylised, personal lens.

The painting offers a fragmented urban perspective, with rooftops, chimneys, and facades clustered together under a brooding sky. The central teal-blue support beam divides the composition, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and scenery.

Bold, sculptural brushstrokes and an expressive use of impasto lend a tactile richness to the scene. The palette leans cool, dominated by blue-greens and dusky greys, punctuated by muted maroons, browns, and pale yellows that bring warmth to the architectural forms.

A evocative mid-century composition that captures a quiet winter street scene in a rustic village, where figures bundled in coats wander along a snow-laden path, executed in oil onto canvas.

Flanked by bare trees and modest cottages with pitched roofs, the composition evokes the stillness of a cold day softened by human presence—two women chatting along a fence, and solitary figures making their way through the slush-covered street.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting features dynamic, swift brushstrokes that build up the texture of snow, branches, and garments with expressive confidence. The palette is dominated by restrained tones – icy whites, blues, muted greys – with subtle warm accents from ochres and reds found in rooftops and clothing details. The artist’s technique imparts a palpable sense of movement and chill, capturing both the beauty and quietude of a mid-century winter’s day. There are areas of heavy impasto, giving the piece a very painterly feel.

Market Day in the Square
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century Naïve style street scene that captures the rhythm and warmth of a local European town square on market day, executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

The composition presents a bustling yet orderly gathering of figures amid open stalls and sunlit awnings, set against the backdrop of a grand building with a steep red roof and tall chimney that anchors the composition.

Executed in a naïve, folk-modernist style, the figures are rendered with simplified forms and minimal detail. The artist has used flat, blocky colour planes with earthy ochres, deep forest greens, navy blues, and brick reds, punctuated by soft greys and muted yellows in the cobbled square and overcast sky.

Brushstrokes are direct and purposeful, with little blending. A defining feature of this work is the use of deep blue outlines – used not only to demarcate figures, umbrellas, and building edges, but also to bring coherence and rhythm to the composition. These cobalt contours give the scene an illustrative quality, emphasising form over detail.

Overall, this work balances architectural geometry with the spontaneity of human life and community.

A mid century modernist village street scene, painted in oil onto board.

The composition is symmetrical and well-balanced, featuring a pathway that leads the viewer’s eye through a quiet village street flanked by buildings and tall trees.

The colour palette is composed of soft, muted tones—primarily earthy reds, blues, and greens. The red-roofed buildings on the left and the larger structure on the right frame the scene, while the trees provide vertical balance and a touch of organic softness.

Winter Skyline
£630
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A nostalgic and subdued modernist cityscape that captures the quiet hush of a snow-blanketed town beneath a pale winter sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

The composition presents an elevated perspective over a geometric spread of rooftops, their forms simplified into broad, angular planes. The steeple of a distant monument anchors the skyline, rising into a misty atmosphere that suggests early morning or dusk.

Rendered in oil, the artist has used a restrained, muted palette dominated by subdued shades of blues, purples, yellows, and reds. The snow is suggested by broad swathes of white and pale grey, while buildings emerge in solid, shadowy blocks, conveying mass and volume without intricate detail. The brushstrokes are confident, reinforcing the architectural rigidity of the scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffing present at its lower left corner.

Size: 56 x 70 cm (including frame)

The Rail Yards at Dusk
£565
Available

Free UK Shipping Only

An evocative modernist cityscape captured at dusk, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

As dimming light softens the urban edges, the artist has reduced architectural forms into geometric planes – warehouses, blocky high-rises, and rows of parked railcars — giving the scene a rhythmic, almost abstracted structure. The visual repetition of lampposts, silhouetted trees, and building facades hints at both the order and the monotony of this cityscape.

Rendered in a subdued palette of dusky blues, muted greys, burnt orange, and deep maroons, the painting conveys the quiet atmosphere of a city settling into evening. A band of still water in the foreground reflects the urban glow and breaks up the composition with cool, shimmering blues.

The brushwork is deliberate and textured, with blocky applications of paint that build the scene from tonal shifts rather than fine detail. This confident handling of light and shape suggests a moment observed from a distance – contemplative, grounded, and imbued with quiet power.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some loss as shown.

Size: 66 x 79 cm (including frame)

Snowy Rooftops
£425
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A small yet evocative mid-century abstract painting that presents an interpretation of a wintry urban landscape, executed in oil onto board.

Likely viewed from an elevated vantage point, the composition depicts snow-covered rooftops and architectural forms simplified into bold planes and tonal contrasts, hinting at chimneys, dormers, and stone facades under a muted sky.

Rendered in a restrained palette of cold greys, browns, and beiges, the painting evokes the quietude of a snow-blanketed city. The brushwork is dynamic yet deliberate – broad, textured strokes create rhythmic abstractions of built forms, while impasto accents add depth and tactile intensity. The work borders on abstraction but retains enough figuration to suggest a real, lived environment – familiar yet stylised.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The Bustling Market
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and lively 20th century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1994.

This painting is a lively, stylised market scene. The composition is structured with clear spatial organization and bold colour blocks, using a bird’s-eye view to depict the bustling activity.

Market stalls and vans are arranged throughout the square, painted in vivid colours like green, red, and orange. Figures of vendors and shoppers are loosely rendered with minimal detail, emphasizing movement and atmosphere over realism. At the centre is a small circular fountain, anchoring the composition. The paved plaza is painted in cool shades of blue and white, contrasting with the warm, saturated tones of produce and vehicles.

Brushwork is loose and expressive, with a soft handling of light and shadow.

The scene conveys a sense of sunny midday energy and community life, blending structure with spontaneity. Despite the simplified style, it captures the essence of a busy open-air market, full of colour, activity, and everyday charm.

The painting is presented in a very well made gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Fragments of the City (Reserved)

Sold

SOLD

A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts a stylised urban landscape, characterised by a series of geometric forms representing rooftops, buildings, and water, executed in oil onto board.

Modernist in its ethos with a focus on the artist’s exploration of form and abstraction, the scene captures the essence of a townscape, possibly a riverside or harbour area, rendered in a semi-abstract manner. The architectural forms have been fragmented into angular, interlocking planes, and the cubist influence is evident in the faceted representation of buildings and their integration into the surrounding landscape.

The palette consists of soft, muted tones, including pastel shades that harmonise with deeper hues of brown and red. The subtle blending of colours creates a cohesive and atmospheric effect, while the subdued tones evoke a tranquil, contemplative mood.

The brushwork is expressive, with short, layered strokes that create a sense of depth and movement. The overlapping strokes enhance the impression of architectural complexity and spatial rhythm.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited distressed style grey painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 50 x 66.5 cm (including frame)
