  • 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.

    Size: 39 x 31 cm (including frame)

  • A Rainy Evening

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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).

  • The White Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping.

    A very large and impactful mid century oil, painted on canvas. Painted with a modernist ethos, the artist has used flat planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of space and depth. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and the artist has chosen to focus instead on shape, form and colour. Two figures stand in front of a group of village houses, which are flanked by trees on either side. The composition is very well balanced and a real pleasure to admire, both from afar and close up, offering layers of complexity both in terms of colour and structure.

    This wonderful painting is framed in its original large mid century frame, with a hessian lined outer section and an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs to the inner silver section.

    Size: 64 x 84 cm (including frame)

  • On Patrol

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully playful and vibrant Swedish oil, painted on to board in 1971. The artist has worked in a Naïve style (Naïve art is characterised by childlike simplicity of execution and vision. As such it has been valued by modernists seeking to get away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system). Flattened forms, bright solid colours and simplified shapes give this painting its playful character.

    Two policemen patrol the streets with friendly smiles, and around them other figures can be seen. The artist has played with scale, making the two policemen appear much larger than the other figures.

    The painting is housed in simple wood frame, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Flower Market

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quaint picture of a flower market taking place in a European town square in winter time. A soft, pastel palette has been used to paint in the background of town buildings, while more vivid colour tones on the flowers and figures make up the forefront of the picture. The artist has painted the picture in great detail, and has created a wonderful sense of depth and lots of little elements to notice.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary silver frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some very minor scuffs to the edges of the frame which is commensurate for its age.

  • Skyline Colour

    Sold

    Free UK shipping.

    A very large, modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1967. Vibrant colours, bold outlines, and areas of impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) make up this large composition which features a semi abstract city skyline. The artist has played with geometric shapes and forms, while using large blocks of colour painted in an expressive manner.  The painting has a very ‘unrefined’ and ‘raw’ look and feel, typical of mid century modern paintings of this genre.

    This large painting is housed in a simple wooden frame which suits it very well. The painting has some scattered areas of surface paint loss which reveal the orange painted layer below but due to the nature of the style of the painting these areas of paint loss add to its character and certainly do not detract from the appeal of the painting.

    Size: 68 x 95cm (including frame)

  • The Café

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively, vibrant mid century café scene painted in oil on to canvas. In the forefront of the picture, several faceless figures seat awaiting service, while behind them stand a row of cafe staff, serving drinks and preparing tables. The composition is well balanced, with four white parasols adding a sense of movement to the painting. The artist has also used several different layers of paint for the  background, creating depth and texture. Details such like the time of day or the location are indiscernible,  but there is a distinct air of light-heartedness and cheerfulness within the painting.

    This  oil on canvas is housed in a robust gilt frame with a beaded design. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Blue Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some paint loss to the lower edge of the frame but this is in keeping with its style and doesn’t detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Mountain Top

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large mid century modernist abstract landscape, painted in oil onto board.

    A range of patterns, shapes and colours fill the canvas, making up an abstracted landscape that appears to be houses on the side a mountain. This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.

    A figure to the lower right corner punctuates this painting perfectly, drawing attention the fact that although mostly abstracted, this painting still has representational elements.

    At over a metre in length, this striking abstract oil would certainly make a statement in any interior. It is housed in its original mid century frame. There is some paint loss to the left edge of the painting (as shown in photos) but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

  • Silhouettes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and textured mid century oil, painted onto canvas.

    This rather mysterious painting features a group of figures gathering and judging from their attire of dark robes, they appear to be monks. There is a real sense of movement within the picture, almost as if it the artist has painted a slightly blurry photograph. We get a palpable sense of the figures walking and gathering. The details of the figures such as their facial features, and the location they are at has been left out intentionally – the artist has chosen to focus on the shapes and forms of the figures, leaving only their silhouettes, juxtaposing their dark robes against the lighter white walls of the building behind them.

    Thick layers of paint have been applied with both palette knife and brush, giving the picture a wonderful depth. The artist has used a restrained palette of black, blue, brown and white, which focuses our attention on the forms and figures.

    The horizontally long shape of the artwork would make it an ideal piece to hang above a piece of furniture. Its restrained yet deep palette give it a flexibility, allowing it to suit both classic and modern interiors.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffing but this is in keeping with its age and style.

  • The Snowy Path

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An enchanting and lively oil painting depicting a group of well-dressed figures walking through a snow-filled pathway.

    Powerful and expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed to paint the winter landscape; and there is also the presence of the impasto technique – where the artist has applied thick layers of paint on the canvas, giving it an outstanding textural feel and three-dimensional appearance.

    The painting is housed in a thin gold frame that illuminates the painting wonderfully. It has some areas of marks and scuffs along its edges (as shown in the images). The painting is in good vintage condition. There is a small area to the top section which has been restored where there was previously a spot of surface paint loss.

  • En Route

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil and wonderfully executed mid 20th century landscape street scene composition, rendered in oil in a semi-abstracted manner.

    Although pictorial details have been blurred, we can see 2 figures in black and a figure in white on a walkway heading towards a monumental building in the background.

    This piece radiates calmness and serenity – brought forth through the use of wonderful subtle and muted pastel tones that transition from one shade to the next so seamlessly and that gives the painting its compositional depth; as well as through the use of gentle and lightly textured brushstrokes.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in an elegant light cream wood and linen frame, and there is minor yellowing to the corners of the inner frame.

  • Mid Century Man

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large and striking mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1945. Executed in a post impressionist style, the artist has used non naturalistic colours for both the figure and the background. The background has largely been painted in sections of colour blocks, creating a sense of depth through geometric shapes.

    The subject matter is focused  – a single male figure with a cane stands in a street by a street lamp. He has stopped his walk and is standing casually, listening and looking to something in front of him (which could be us, the viewer). His hand is placed casually in his left pocket, legs crossed, shoulders slumped, and cigarette hanging loosely between his lips.

    Although the figure has been painted in a looser and more expressive manner compared to the flat planes of the background, the artist has mirrored the colours in his suit to the colours in the background, creating a satisfying harmony within the picture.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century gilt and wood frame, and is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 80.5 x 62.5cm (including frame)

  • The Passage

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but striking mid century abstract in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Although largely abstract in composition, we can just about discern a series of buildings, with tall trees dotted in and around them. To the lower left there appears to be a bridge or an aqueduct, where a small area of blue paint perhaps indicates the water running below it. The colour palette of this painting is largely restrained, with deep blues, greys and green taking centre stage. Vertical, downward, and distinct brushstrokes give this painting its modernist feel, and alternating light and dark tones create a sense of depth and space.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, with an inner hessian border. There are small areas of paint losses to the right edge and lower edge of the painting, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame is in good vintage condition.

  • The Wagon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A playful and vibrant scene of 2 figures with a donkey wagon, painted in a fauvist style. The artist has used an array of non-naturalistic colours in loose sections, and has simplified the subjects such that it leans towards abstraction. He has also applied the theory of complementary colours in this painting, where pairs of colours that are opposite each other on a colour wheel are used side-by-side in the painting,  making each other look brighter as a result. There is also a rejection of traditional three-dimensional space, as the artist has instead used flat areas of patches of colour to create a sense of pictorial space, drawing our attention to his use of bright emotive colours, simple shapes and painterly mark-making. We notice also that the artist has intentionally left areas of the canvas uncoloured and showing through.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century dark wood frame with an inner dark gilt border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Winter Blues

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but impactful modernist style winter landscape, executed in oil on board.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artwork depicts a panoramic snow-covered landscape street scene featuring a row of houses and barren trees.

    The artist has used the expressive qualities of colour and brushstroke to convey visual calm as well as the coldness of winter.

    A restrained palette of blue, white and black have been used, and this limitation of colours enables us to strengthen our focus on the various subject matter in the painting as our eyes progress through.

    Furthermore, the long and painterly sweeping brushstrokes add a wonderful textural feel, as well as create a sense of depth in the painting.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century hessian frame with an inner gilt window, and it complements the painting very well. There are some very minor marks on the frame as shown in the images.

  • Down by the Water

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely bright riverscape view, painted in oil in 1957. The artist has used distinct, expressive brushstrokes throughout, giving us the sense that this was painted ‘en plein air’ (the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view). The artist has incorporated natural light, colour, and movement into this work, capturing the spirit of the river as it flows through the city. A set of steps can be seen to the right, encouraging us to imagine ourselves having just walked down, taking respite from the hustle and bustle of the busy city above.

    The painting is housed in a light grey frame, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A group of 3 figures building what appears to be a snowman form the centre of the composition. Framing them are houses to the eft and right, and several other figures and trees. The artist has used soft but sweeping brushstrokes to create this expressive narrative painting which adds texture to this lovely painting.

    This oil painting is housed in a very elegant frame with a gilt section and an inner light blue section which suits the painting and its colour palette perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cycling Along

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A joyful painting of two figures cycling down a rural lane, painted in oil in an expressionist style. The artist has used a vibrant palette of greens, yellows and blues, and has executed the brushwork in a swift, expressive manner with confident, painterly strokes. This has created texture and a sense of movement within the picture. We could easily picture ourselves as one of the cyclists, with the warm salty sea air blowing as we merrily cycle down the lane, taking in the natural landscape, enjoying the carefree-ness of the day.

    The multi-directional brushstrokes executed vertically, diagonally and in circular motion further adds a light rhythmic touch to the painting.

  • Vantage Point

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and picturesque modernist style oil painting, presenting a panoramic landscape composition.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artwork depicts 2 figures on a path way, stopping in their tracks to admire the scenic views of white houses on a lush and well-coloured hilltop.

    This composition has been abstracted down through the use of distinct blocks of lively colours that harmonise wonderfully together, and that also demonstrates a sense of depth and width to the painting.

    Lightly textured brushstrokes have been executed on the canvas gently; instilling an overall sense of softness and calm to the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
