A large and striking mid century oil painting of a standing figure, painted onto canvas in a distinctly modernist style.
The artist has focussed in on a single figure – a man stands in an alley, looking straight on at us. What would normally be quite confronting is softened and made friendly – the man stands casually with his hands in his pockets. Although his expression is undiscernible, we get a sense that this is a friendly and familiar encounter, someone we know, a father, a grandfather, an uncle.
The figure is painted against an abstract background, but we can just about make out buildings on either side. There seems to be a luminosity and reflection in the way the artist has painted the background, perhaps a suggestion that it has just rained.
This large and beautiful semi-abstract portrait is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age toning to the fabric, as shown in the photos, but this is commensurate with its age.
Size: 87.5 x 60 cm (including frame)

A very large and very unique mid century oil, painted on to canvas.
Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist has captured the hustle and bustle of an open street market. Several groups of figures fill the canvas, punctuated by a row of red trees to the left hand side. The artist has used a wonderfully earthy palette of rusty red and browns, which gives the painting a lovely homely feel. Consciously leaving out specific realistic details, the artist plays with colour, shape and form. As a viewer are eyes are left to explore these formal elements, which come together effectively and harmoniously, giving us a very palpable sense of what is going on and the feel of the scene.
At almost a metre in height, this large painting is housed in its original mid century frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

The first of its type to be added to our collection, this unique artwork has been made through the use of dye on fabric (also known as batik). Handmade by the established Swedish painter and sculptor Fabian Lundqvist, this striking artwork features geometric sections in contrasting colours of a restrained palette. The artist has used varying forms and shapes to create an abstracted image of a figure by a village landscape. The distinctive style and composition of this piece is typical of the artist’s oeuvre.
The board on which the fabric is attached to is slightly uneven. There are some minor scattered surface marks to the fabric, typical for its age. The artwork is housed in a silver frame which has some minor scuffs to its edges.

A bold and striking landscape view of Stockholm, painted in oil onto canvas. It is evident from the dynamism within the painting that the artist was very captivated by the landscape before him, expressing his own sensations through line and colour. The bold earthy tones of the houses and buildings communicates its physical man-made hardness against the softer, cooler palette of the river running through the city. An artwork like this one is distinctly reminiscent of the landscape paintings by the Modernist artist Paul Cézanne.
The painting is housed in an excellent distressed wood and gilt frame, which has a deep and robust profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
