SOLD.
A brilliantly executed mid century modernist street scene, painted in oil onto board and dated 1955.
The painting depicts a scenic neighbourhood where rows of different coloured houses are neatly lined up. Painted on the surrounding streets and in the distance are areas of white that resemble snow, alluding to the winter season.
Using a lively colour palette comprising shades of green, orange and brown, the artist has reconstructed this composition into blocks of contrasting colours that have been defined by thin green outlines, drawing our attention to their individual form and shape.
The colours in this painting harmonise beautifully, and together with the painterly and lightly-textured brushstrokes, there is an uplifting feel to this artwork.
This oil on board is housed in a wood frame with visible grain and an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

SOLD.
A large and confidently executed mid century semi abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
In this scene we see four main figures amongst a blur of people – the artist has left out realistic details, and focused instead on colour, form and texture. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.
The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A beautifully ambient and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
To the foreground of the composition, a set of railway tracks create a sense of depth and lead our eyes inwards into the picture, where we are met by a set of shipping cranes. To the left of the composition we see a ship docked, and figures underneath the crane. The artist has used a restrained colour palette, focusing on an array of blues, greens and greys to create this wonderfully misty and moody scene. He has used blocks of colours and bold outlines to create the forms and shapes within the picture that give the picture its depth. We get a sense that it is early morning by the harbourside, before the fog has lifted.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning linen lined frame with an inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This piece would look wonderful in a nursery or a children’s room.
The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some general wear and overall signs of ageing, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

A large and delightful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
This picturesque neighbourhood scene depicts a narrow street running through quaint and distinct red houses, set against a scenic landscape view of hills and mountains in the background. A little figure can be seen in the foreground of the painting, cycling through the village street.
The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness and frankness. There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. It’s ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek – to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

The artist has used expressive and distinct multi-directional brushstrokes, giving the painting its depth and interest.
This artwork is housed in its original mid century frame. There is a surface mark to the right side of the painting (as shown in close ups), but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

A skilfully executed scenic road landscape composition, executed in oil in 1962.
There is a charming contrast between the top and bottom half of the painting. In the background – we see lush forestry in the distance set against moody and darker tones. On the other hand, the foreground of the painting has an array of colourful earthy shades and has more lively atmosphere.
The artist has reduced and flattened down the road and surrounding landscape into blocks of contrasting colours to create a wonderful sense of depth and width to the painting.

A large and playful mid century British modernist oil composition of several figures on the metro in Paris, painted onto artist’s board.
The colourful composition has a fun, childlike quality to it that makes it a joy to look at. Although seemingly simple and ‘naive’ at first glace, it is in fact a very well executed painting. The composition and use of colours is perfectly balanced, and very satisfying to look at. Despite the lack of realistic details or colouring, we very quickly understand what we’re looking at. The artist has captured an everyday scene of rush hour on the Metro, but has incorporated a wonderful expressionist style to the piece.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to its edges.

A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted onto jute canvas (also known as hessian or burlap) which has been laid down to board.
The jute canvas on which the oil has been applied has an extra rough texture and a pronounced weave, imbuing the piece with a raw and unfinished quality that makes it very striking. The artist has intentionally incorporated the texture of the jute to its overall effect, even leaving the edges unpainted to allow it to show through. This is especially wonderful as it also gives us an insight into the artist’s process – we can feel every brush-drag, and view the base layers of paint he has used. Under the paint we are able to see the grid-like weave of the jute, as well as where the artist’s brush has skipped over its bumps, and the areas where layers of paint have built up on the high points of the weave.
In addition to its raw quality, the painting has a luminosity that makes it very striking. Deep and rich colours have been set against the background of white, causing them to be even more pronounced. Bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes add a sense of dynamism, and geometric shapes layered one above the other give an unmistakable nod to the cubist movement.
The painting is housed in a thin grey frame which suits it perfectly and adds to its modern effect. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some some paint marks to its edges but adds to its overall effect and certainly does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
