  • Road Trip

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A panoramic and ambient large semi abstract mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    As we let our eyes rest on this painting, it takes us on a journey to a place far away. The view point of the composition is reminiscent of being on a road trip, staring out the window looking at the panoramic landscape laid out before us. A long never-ending road stretches out in front of us, with not a soul in sight. There is a softness and quietness to this painting which makes it such a wonderful picture to transport our minds elsewhere. The simple yet very effective composition combined with the  light and minimal colour palette has a meditative effect.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a very complementary mid century frame with a dark outer edge, and linen lined border and an inner gilt window. It is very effective in drawing our sight inward into the painting, enhancing its meditative effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Walking Home

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed and striking landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This framed composition depicts an evening scene of figure walking down a lane towards white fronted house. The artist has used angular lines and flat planes of colour in a restrained palette. The artist has left out realistic details, focussing instead on the lines and forms of pictured scene. The painting features a very skilful balance of forms, and layering and blending of colour. It has a sense of nostalgia to it that is very charming.

    It is housed in its original mid century frame with gilt borders. The painting has some tiny spots of surface paint loss, but these spots are not obvious unless inspected closely. We have included close ups of these areas. The paint layer is stable overall. The frame is also in very good vintage condition.

    Post-impressionist in style, there is a strong emphasis on geometric form, bold colours and distinctive brushstrokes.

  • Monument

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking scene of two figures in a continental town square surrounded by landmarks, painted in oil onto board. This painting has been worked in the ‘post impressionist’ style,  characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork. We see loose dabs of the brush, painted in non-naturalistic colours. The artist has chosen not to paint the town scene as it appears in reality, but has instead imbued with an energy, light, and dynamism that shows off his or her emotional connection with the townscape. The town appears quiet, with only two figures visible, but the artist has painted the architecture surrounding them with such vigour that they carry life and energy of their own.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in an original gilt frame with an inner linen and white border. The frame has some marks and scuffs (as seen in the photos)

  • The Seamstresses

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A tenderly executed scene of 4 figures by townhouses, painted in oil onto board.

    This mid century painting depicts three seated figures in the midst of sewing some white frabric, their backs against a white walled townhouse. A separate female figure holding a basket is also seen to the left of the composition.

    The artist has left out any facial details, choosing instead to focus on the shapes, lines and forms of them. Expressive brushstrokes in non-representative colours have been applied to the canvas, creating this well balanced and very striking street scene.

    There is something very restful about this piece, capturing the quiet life of a rural village and the daily activities of the people.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood and gilt frame, and is in very good vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to the frame that certainly do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Eglise

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

    A very large, and very well executed mid century French impressionist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    This large and very textured painting depicts a view of the church of Saint-Rigomer et Sainte-Tenestine in Vaulhallen, France. Fine and angular outlines contrast brilliantly against areas of broad, expressive brushwork. To add to this, the artist has added an aggregate to some areas creating textured areas of impasto. The large size and intense detailing creates a myriad of aspects for the view to explore and enjoy. The artist has very skilfully managed to capture the ‘patina’ of the old structure, as well as the almost ‘golden’ light that is cast on the monument, using a restricted colour palette with highlights to create a sense of space, depth, and light.

    This very large painting is housed in a very complementary champagne gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor age wear commensurate with age.

    Size: 86 x 105 cm (including frame)

  • The Hamlet

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small and very well painted mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has worked in a distinctly modernist style, using flattened blocks and shapes in contrasting colours in a layered effect to build up space and depth. He has used a rich and earthy colour palette that gives this painting its very ‘homely’ and ‘country’ feel. The composition is very well balanced, and there is a very satisfying sense of harmony (both in terms of structure as well as colour) that makes this painting very appealing to look at it.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it perfectly. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing to its edges, as shown.

  • Winter Walk

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wintry town landscape painted in a typical modernist style. Expressionist brushstrokes have been applied swiftly and with vigour in non naturalistic colours. We get a sense of the artist’s subjective perspective and the mood he/she was trying to convey, rather than a realistic depiction of the town landscape. Two figures feature in the lower section of the picture, and we can imagine them walking through the cold, crisp air.

    The painting is housed in a very elegant dark wood frame with an inner gilt window with a deep profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Crossroad Conversation

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and emotive vintage modernist painting, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.

    Painted in thin and fluid unconstrained brushstrokes, we can discern 3 boys standing at a crossroad, seemingly in conversation.

    With a limited yet distinctive palette of warm brown-yellow and blueish tones, this oil painting has an almost sepia-like effect of a photograph, and together with its sketch-like appearance and blurred out background, the work has a distinct feel of nostalgia and is reminiscent of a memory.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with visible wood grain. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The photos have been taken under natural light, which has caused some areas of glare in the photos – these areas may appear ‘faded’ in the photos but this is not the case in real life – the painting is very evenly painted and has no areas of fading.

  • Terracotta

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century street scene composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of the modern British painter L.S. Lowry, this painting also features an urban landscape peopled with small stylised human figures to the right side. The artist has used a restricted colour palette, using repeated but juxtaposed colours of cream, orange, grey and green. The forms have been flattened and the scene of buildings has been reduced down to large plans of colour. Interestingly, the artist has left details of the substrate (the canvas) showing through, which also gives this painting a ‘drawing’ or ‘illustration’ like effect.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary wood frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The linen border has some marks and the frame some scuffing, but none of that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Offload

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very interestingly executed mid century oil on board, housed in a wonderful frame.

    This semi abstract composition features broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes. The artist has used contrasting and non-realistic colours to create a discernible scene where two figures appear to be standing on a truck with an open door. The artist has also exercised restraint with his paint, using what appears to be simple and minimal brushwork to execute the scene at hand. It is this restraint that shows off the artist’s skill, and makes the composition a very satisfying one to admire.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century linen-lined frame. There are ageing spots on the frame, commensurate with its age.

  • Sunset View

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A nostalgic mid century landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    A row of small houses sit atop mountains looking over the landscape. A tree punctuates the middle of the foreground, giving our eyes a focal point. To the left of the composition we see cyprus trees standing tall, and as we move further into the back of the composition, a row of mountains sit underneath the sunset sky. The artist has captured a moment where it is not long before the light is lost and night begins. The sun sits just below the horizon, and this time of twilight casts a purple tinge onto the landscape.

    This scene exudes a feeling of nostalgia and tenderness, while being really calm and restful.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid-century wood frame with an inner silver window that makes the painting stand out. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.  The window on the frame has areas of general wear and paint loss, commensurate with age.

  • Country in Colour

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but very striking mid century semi-abstract composition in oil.

    Reminiscent of the 20th century modernist style of ‘fauvism’, this painting features the classic fauve feature of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element. In this picture, the colour establishes a structure within the work without being true to the natural world. Its brushstrokes also carry the fauve style of being short and separated, creating a sense of movement within the picture.

    Vivid, expressive colours and spontaneous brushwork contained within a small composition create a piece that would stand out in any interior. It would work as a single piece in a small space that needed a lift, but would also work well as part of a group hang.

    The painting is housed in an off white painted wood frame that enhances its vintage character. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • The Lane

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very well executed modernist landscape in oil, painted in 1995.

    Simple in composition yet complex in execution, the artist has used large planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth and space in the picture. Layers of colour have been blended skilfully, giving the paintings its bright and luminous quality. The artist has chosen to focus on form, shape and line in this composition, bringing our attention to the way the different elements (the house, the trees, the field and the lane) play with each other and almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

    This very satisfying oil painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some light scuffing to the left side of the frame, as well as a small area of paint loss to the lower right corner of the frame (as seen in close up photo). Neither of these imperfections detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Neighbourhood Walk

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and lively oil painting featuring a street scene in a bustling neighbourhood. In the foreground, cars and pedestrians line the pavement, and rows of colourful buildings sit in the background.

    The artist has painted in a modernist style, using geometric blocks, bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to paint this detailed composition.

    A playful selection of lively colours that harmonise so well together have been used to form this composition; and the energetic and painterly brushstrokes add dynamism and a light tactility to the painting.

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

  • The Pick Up

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully energetic and eclectic oil painting of a street scene, painted in a Naïve style.

    A well dressed couple with interesting expressions on their faces stand waiting along the pathway with a row of quaint and colourful houses behind them. A black taxi is seen bumbling its way down the road, presumably to pick the couple up.

    The artist has consciously chosen to eliminate realistic proportions as exemplified in reality – enlarging the scale of the 2 figures in comparison to their surroundings.  The vibrant colour palette as well as the swift and expressive brushstrokes used imbue the painting with a lively playfulness.

    This oil on board is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame with an inner linen lining, with some very minor scuffs that are only visible upon close inspection.

    This wonderfully executed oil painting depicts a moody street scene in Stockholm. The rain is clearing, and the sun is slowly coming out to shine before it sets in the evening. Cars and figures are depicted on the roads, passing by colourful buildings.

    The brushstrokes and colour palette capture the melancholy poignantly in this 1950s painting. Expressive and multi-directional strokes in a blended palette of sombre colours create an intensity and texture that conveys the mood of the picture.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid-century distressed wood frame that not only pairs perfectly with the painting but is also very in lined with its vintage feel.

  • Abstract City

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but outstanding mid 20th century oil painting of a cityscape, painted in an abstract manner.

    The artist has skilfully abstracted the city containing  buildings, foliage and a river down through the use of contrasting blocks of colours.

    Naturalistic shades comprising muted earthy tones of beige, green and blue fill the canvas; and the distribution of contrasting colours not only demonstrate a strong sense of depth to this painting, but make the work well balanced.

    Broad and expressive textured brushstrokes have been confidently executed, creating a raw textural effect and enhancing the painting overall.

    This gorgeous oil on canvas would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Evening Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and picturesque landscape on a cool blue summer’s day. The painting depicts rows of colourful buildings, and a bridge passing over a river in a charming city.

    Here, the artist has rendered rich and vibrant colours, that wonderfully capture the liveliness of the city.

    Painted in an impressionist manner, swift and spontaneous brushstrokes are evident, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the way the artist has captured the reflection of the building on the water surface with a painterly pattern of rhythmic strokes is simply outstanding.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint), that are not obvious unless inspected up close. It is housed in a robust wooden frame with a white inner lining. The frame has multiple areas of chips and paint loss commensurate for its age (as shown in the pictures).
