    A very captivating and richly toned original painting by British artist Frances Daws.
    Inspired by the quiet familiarity of travelling the same country roads time and time again, Frances distils the landscape into memory rather than reality. Instead of capturing every field and hedgerow, she paints the essence of a place as it lingers in the mind.
    A deliberately muted palette of deep greens, earthy reds and soft pinks creates a gentle rhythm across the canvas, while subtle glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath our own recollections. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and elusive. Less a specific view, and more the feeling of passing through the countryside, where memories blur into one another with every journey.
    The painting is beautifully presented in a wide profile rustic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and richly coloured original painting by British artist Frances Daws.
    In this expressive landscape, Frances Daws explores not the countryside as it appears, but as it is remembered after countless journeys along the same familiar roads. Shapes dissolve into broad, confident brushstrokes, while a restrained palette of deep greens, warm ochres and soft pinks allows shifts in tone to take centre stage.
    The landscape feels as though it is constantly moving. Glimpsed from a car window, recalled later in fragments, and reassembled through memory rather than observation. Areas of exposed underpainting peek through the composition, lending a sense of depth and cohesion while reminding us that, much like our own recollections, every landscape is built layer by layer. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and wonderfully familiar, inviting the viewer to fill in the details with memories of journeys of their own

    From Lacock to Bath

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and vividly coloured painting by British artist Frances Daws.

    “From Lacock to Bath” captures the fleeting impressions gathered along one of the West Country’s most familiar routes. Rather than documenting a particular view, Frances paints the landscape as it settles in the memory after repeated journeys, rolling hills reduced to confident, flowing shapes and a carefully restrained palette of deep greens, rich earth tones and soft pinks. The subtle contrasts in tone create depth without relying on fine detail, while glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath the surface.

    The result is a landscape that feels both unmistakably rural and beautifully universal, inviting us to recognise not a place, but the familiarity of a journey we’ve taken many times before.

    This painting on canvas board is beautifully presented in a in white St Ives style frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • The Waiting Bicycle

    The Waiting Bicycle

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemplative mid-century painting captures a tranquil domestic interior, where the viewer looks through a tall sash window towards a lone bicycle resting outside, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rather than making the bicycle the central focus, the artist celebrates the interplay between interior and exterior spaces. Long bands of sunlight stretch dramatically across the window frame and sill, transforming an everyday scene into a study of light, shadow, and quiet observation. The composition evokes a sense of calm, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty found in an ordinary moment.

    Executed in a refined mid-century realist style with subtle modernist influences, the painting balances careful observation with simplified forms and a restrained sense of geometry. The strong verticals and horizontals of the window create an architectural structure that contrasts beautifully with the organic silhouette of the bicycle beyond.

    A harmonious palette of honey yellows, olive greens, soft creams, and muted browns gives the composition a gentle, sunlit warmth. The golden exterior light is offset by the cooler grey-brown shadows within the room, while touches of muted blue on the bicycle provide a subtle focal point. The restrained colour scheme enhances the painting’s peaceful, timeless character.

    The brushwork is measured and controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint that reinforce the stillness of the scene. Soft blending creates convincing transitions between light and shadow, while delicate variations in texture subtly animate the grassy foreground and weathered surfaces outside. Fine, confident detailing defines the bicycle and window frames without becoming overly precise, allowing the composition to retain its painterly elegance.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner stepped silver profile. Both the painting and frame are excellent vintage condition.

  • A Moment of Quiet

    A Moment of Quiet

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century interior still life depicting a simple table illuminated by soft natural light, with a solitary white vessel and dish arranged against a backdrop of windows and architectural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

    Rather than focusing on narrative, the artist celebrates the quiet poetry of everyday objects, transforming an ordinary domestic scene into a contemplative study of light, balance and atmosphere.

    Painted in a modernist style, the composition is carefully constructed through bold geometric shapes and strong verticals, creating an elegant sense of structure while maintaining an understated intimacy. The pared-back arrangement and generous negative space evoke a calm, almost meditative mood, allowing the subtle relationships between form, light and shadow to take centre stage.

    The palette is sophisticated and subdued, combining cool shades of slate grey, charcoal, ivory, muted turquoise and deep blue with delicate touches of warm cream. These restrained colours harmonise beautifully, while enhancing its tranquil, light-filled atmosphere.

    Confident, expressive brushwork brings the surface to life. Broad, textured strokes define the architectural planes, while layers of thickly applied paint create subtle variations across the walls, table and window shutters. The loose handling softens the geometry just enough to preserve a sense of warmth and spontaneity, resulting in a work that feels both thoughtfully composed and effortlessly painterly.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant silver-toned wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition. The frame displays minor age-related wear, including a tiny area of wood loss to the top left corner, consistent with its age.

  • Garden Gate in Spring

    Garden Gate in Spring

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and uplifting mid-century landscape painting depicting a lush garden entrance, where a white picket gate opens onto a winding pathway beneath flourishing trees in bloom, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1961.

    The composition captures an everyday suburban scene with remarkable freshness, celebrating the quiet beauty of a well-tended garden at the height of spring. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist conveys the atmosphere through simplified forms and an intuitive sense of colour.

    Executed in an expressive, painterly style, the work balances representation with loose abstraction. The scene is built from confident, gestural brushstrokes that allow shapes to dissolve into one another, creating a lively impression of filtered sunlight, moving foliage, and blossoming branches. Broad sweeps of paint are contrasted with more deliberate marks that define the fence, tree trunks, and winding path, lending the composition both structure and spontaneity.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by an array of luminous greens ranging from soft sage to vibrant lime, complemented by crisp whites, cool blue-greys, warm yellows, and delicate blush pinks along the pathway. The interplay of light and colour evokes the warmth of a bright spring day, while the visible brushwork gives the painting an energetic, immediate quality that is full of movement and life.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a well crafted wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Quiet Shoreline

    Quiet Shoreline

    £625

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape depicting a quiet waterside scene beneath a luminous, overcast sky, executed in oil onto board.

    Dense trees anchor the composition on the left, their rich foliage contrasting beautifully with the expansive sweep of pale water and sky beyond. In the distance, a solitary sailboat glides across the calm surface, while a faint shoreline dissolves into the atmospheric haze, creating an impression of remarkable depth and serenity.

    Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting captures the essence of the landscape rather than its precise details. Broad, confident brushstrokes and softly blended passages allow forms to emerge naturally, lending the work a quiet spontaneity. The restrained composition embraces negative space, with the vast sky becoming as important as the land itself, reinforcing the painting’s contemplative mood.

    The palette is beautifully understated, composed of muted greys, soft blue-greens, sage, olive, and deep forest tones, gently enlivened by touches of warm browns along the shoreline. The subtle tonal transitions between sky and water create an almost ethereal atmosphere, while the darker mass of trees provides a striking visual counterbalance.

    Brushwork varies from expressive, layered strokes within the foliage to delicate, feathered applications across the water and sky. This contrast between richly textured foreground elements and the softly painted distance creates a convincing sense of perspective and invites the viewer into the peaceful stillness of the scene.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a gently distressed cream finish, and complemented by gilt detailing around the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and there is some light craquelure visible on the inner top white section of the frame.

  • Geometric Collage 12 Squares

    Geometric Collage 12 Squares

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre sits a slender vertical grid of coloured squares, composed with careful precision. Muted shades of burgundy, dusty rose, charcoal, warm brown, soft ivory, pale blue-grey, and crimson are arranged in an understated sequence, each square subtly interacting with its neighbour. The composition recalls a restrained colour study, where balance and proportion take precedence over complexity.

    The surrounding reclaimed materials lend the work remarkable depth and character, as it provides a tactile counterpoint to the crisp geometry of the coloured grids. The generous negative space lends the work a sense of calm, while the contrast between the orderly geometry and the organic imperfections of the reclaimed surface creates a quiet yet compelling tension.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

    Two horizontal bands of coloured squares sit quietly against the weathered surface, each resembling a carefully considered palette study. Shades of crimson, burgundy, blush, ivory, charcoal, and soft grey are arranged with measured precision, creating subtle variations between the upper and lower compositions while maintaining an understated sense of balance.

    The reclaimed materials lend the work remarkable depth and character, as it provides a tactile counterpoint to the crisp geometry of the coloured grids.

    At the centre rests a compact grid of sixteen coloured squares, arranged with quiet precision like a carefully balanced colour study. Deep crimson, burgundy, dusty rose, coral, warm brown, charcoal, soft ivory, and blush tones are thoughtfully interwoven, creating a rhythmic interplay of warm hues and subtle tonal contrasts. The symmetrical arrangement lends the work a sense of order, while the varied textures within each square preserve its handmade character.

    At the centre is a vertical arrangement of geometric forms composed of repeating blue and ivory triangles. The simple motif creates a rhythmic sequence of interlocking diagonals, drawing the eye through the composition with a quiet sense of movement.

    The expansive field of reclaimed materials provides a beautifully understated backdrop. The soft brown surface reveal the fibres, textures, and subtle imperfections of their previous life, offering a tactile contrast to the crisp geometry of the central design.

  • Threshold of Presence

    Threshold of Presence

    £775

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A compelling mid-century abstract figurative composition in which a solitary standing figure gradually emerges from an energetic arrangement of colour and gesture, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

    Rather than defining the subject through precise outlines, the artist allows broad planes of paint and carefully balanced negative space to suggest the human form, inviting the viewer to complete the narrative through observation. The result is both expressive and contemplative, capturing presence through abstraction rather than detail.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the painting balances gestural abstraction with figurative suggestion. Large geometric passages and painterly forms create a dynamic architectural rhythm. The work is confident, and every mark contributes to the overall harmony of shape, balance and movement.

    The palette is rich and sophisticated, combining deep burgundy and rust with warm ivory, chocolate brown and charcoal black. Accents of blue-green provide striking contrast, introducing depth and visual tension against the warmer earth tones. The interplay of dark and light passages gives the composition both weight and luminosity.

    Brushwork is bold, expressive and highly tactile. Broad palette-knife passages sit alongside dry-brushed textures and confidently loaded strokes, revealing the physicality of the artist’s process. Areas of opaque paint contrast with lightly scumbled surfaces, allowing underlying layers to subtly emerge and enriching the painting with texture, movement and a strong sense of material presence.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm gilt finish.  silver frame. Both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Where the Street Bends

    Where the Street Bends

    £530

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist painting that captures the charm of a winding street, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The composition leads the viewer around a gentle curve, framed by a procession of closely gathered buildings whose simplified forms and overlapping rooftops create a rhythmic architectural landscape. Rather than focusing on activity or figures, the painting celebrates the character of the built environment itself, transforming an everyday streetscape into a carefully balanced study of shape, colour and light.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist reduces the architecture to clean geometric planes and broad areas of flat colour. Perspective is gently compressed, allowing the facades and rooftops to stack together in harmonious layers that emphasise composition over strict realism. The resulting scene possesses a calm, contemplative quality, where atmosphere is conveyed through thoughtful simplification rather than intricate detail.

    The colour palette is warm yet refined, combining terracotta reds, burnt orange, yellow and muted sage greens with cool blue-grey rooftops, soft taupes and a pale, luminous sky. A crisp white building in the foreground anchors the composition, providing striking contrast against the richer hues beyond. These carefully balanced colours lend the painting both warmth and serenity while guiding the eye naturally through the winding street.

    The brushwork is confident and deliberate. Broad, even applications of paint establish the strong architectural forms, while subtle directional strokes and lightly textured surfaces add depth and movement without distracting from the painting’s graphic simplicity. The visible brushstrokes soften the otherwise geometric composition, giving the work a tactile quality and preserving the expressive character of the artist’s hand.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame that features a wide cream-linen finish and an inner gilt moulding.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A minimalist and elegant mid-century abstracted composition that distils the essence of a tranquil seascape into a beautifully restrained arrangement of form, light and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two simplified sailboats rest quietly upon still water, their dark hulls and slender masts emerging from an expansive field of soft ivory. A delicate burst of luminous colour behind the vessels hints at the first light of day or the gentle glow of a setting sun, creating a subtle focal point without disrupting the painting’s meditative calm.

    Executed in a modernist style, the work embraces minimalism and negative space, allowing the surrounding emptiness to become as expressive as the subjects themselves. The composition balances precision with softness, reducing familiar maritime forms to their essential geometry while preserving a strong sense of serenity and contemplation.

    The palette is intentionally restrained, dominated by warm whites, cream and pale stone tones, accented with charcoal black and touches of muted turquoise and soft gold that gently radiate through the centre of the composition. These understated colours lend the painting a quiet luminosity and timeless sophistication.

    Brushwork is delicate and atmospheric throughout, with fine surface texture within the paint that creates depth. Thin, carefully controlled lines define the masts, while the hulls are rendered with confident, sculptural strokes. The surrounding paint has been softly layered and feathered, creating translucent washes and subtle tonal transitions that evoke mist, reflected light and calm water.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a distressed style wood frame with a light gold gold finish that beautifully complements the work’s soft, neutral palette.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Old Town Passage

    Old Town Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century street scene that capture an old European laneway, where tall weathered buildings rise on either side to create a narrow corridor of light and shadow, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition naturally draws the eye towards a softly illuminated archway in the distance, where two silhouetted figures lend a sense of scale and quiet narrative. A third figure, distinguished by a vivid yellow garment, introduces a welcome focal point and a subtle moment of everyday life within the otherwise muted streetscape.

    Executed in an expressive modernist style with strong impressionistic influences, the artist favours atmosphere over architectural precision. The buildings are simplified into broad geometric forms, while the converging lines of staircases, windows and facades create an engaging sense of depth and perspective.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, composed of soft sage greens, muted blues, warm browns, stone greys and touches of dusty rose. These earthy hues are punctuated by crisp white window highlights and the striking accent of bright yellow, while the glowing light beneath the archway creates a compelling contrast against the cooler shadows of the surrounding buildings.

    Confident, painterly brushstrokes animate every surface, with layers of broken colour and visible texture suggesting weathered stone, aged plaster and reflections across the cobbled street. Loose, energetic applications of paint give the work vitality without sacrificing structure, allowing the architectural forms to emerge organically from the interplay of colour and light.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful distressed wood frame with a warm gilt inner slip. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    An elegant 20th century modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1986.

    Two stylised green fruit rest upon a pale tabletop, their simplified geometric shapes illuminated by strong directional light that casts long, angular shadows across the composition. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist celebrates the quiet beauty of ordinary objects through carefully considered planes of colour and an understated sense of harmony.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the painting embraces minimalism and geometric abstraction. The fruit are reduced to faceted forms, while the surrounding space is constructed from broad intersecting planes that create depth through subtle shifts in tone. The restrained composition evoke a sense of calm, allowing light and shadow to become as important as the objects themselves.

    The palette is soft and sophisticated, dominated by cool aqua and turquoise blues that contrast beautifully with muted sage, olive, and pale green tones. Gentle greys provide balance, while small accents of dark charcoal and earthy brown in the stems and leaves introduce subtle definition.

    The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, opaque applications of paint that reinforce the crisp quality of the composition. Clean edges and carefully defined colour fields create an architectural precision.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful wood frame with a silver grey wood-grain finish. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some scuffs to the inner area of the frame.

  • Silent Conversation

    Silent Conversation

    Sold

    SOLD

    An evocative 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.

    The painting captures two solitary figures standing within the hushed streets of a whitewashed village. Simplified architectural forms, a single telegraph pole, and an expansive muted sky create a scene that feels both timeless and deeply contemplative. The figures, dressed in dark garments, provide a quiet human presence against the geometric simplicity of the surrounding buildings, inviting the viewer to imagine an unspoken exchange or fleeting encounter.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition balances architectural abstraction with subtle narrative. Large, simplified planes of colour and carefully considered negative space reflect the influence of mid-century European painting, where atmosphere and emotional resonance take precedence over fine detail. The crisp geometry of the buildings contrasts beautifully with the softened silhouettes of the figures, creating a harmonious tension between structure and humanity.

    The colour palette is exceptionally understated, comprising warm greys, soft taupes, creamy whites, muted browns and charcoal blacks. These earthy, neutral tones are gently modulated, lending the painting a tranquil, almost dreamlike quality. The subdued palette evokes the fading light of dusk or the gentle haze of an overcast afternoon.

    Brushwork is delicate and controlled throughout. Thin, smoothly blended layers create velvety transitions across the sky and architectural forms, while subtle tonal variations prevent the broad areas of colour from appearing flat. The restrained handling of paint reinforces the painting’s calm, meditative atmosphere, allowing composition, light and mood to become the primary focus.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful dark wood frame with and inner gilt window and linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuff marks.

  • The Blue Teapot

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century modern still life that distils everyday domestic objects into a harmonious study of form, light and colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A wooden table supports a carefully balanced arrangement consisting of a striking dark blue teapot, a pale blue carton, and a tall white open box. Rather than striving for realism, the artist reduces the objects to confident geometric shapes, allowing the interplay of volume, shadow and negative space to become the true subject of the composition.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting demonstrates an appreciation for simplified structure and thoughtful spatial relationships. The elongated table legs and gently abstracted forms lend the work a subtle sense of rhythm, while broad planes of light and shadow create depth without unnecessary detail. The composition feels both deliberate and effortless, embodying the restrained elegance characteristic of European mid-century painting.

    The colour palette is soft and beautifully balanced, combining  earthy browns and creamy ivory with cool passages of powder blue, slate grey and muted lavender. The dramatic teapot provides a bold focal point, its rich silhouette contrasting beautifully against the luminous background.

    Brushwork is confident. Broad, flat applications of paint define the major forms, while visible directional brushstrokes impart texture and vitality across the tabletop, vessels and surrounding walls. The artist embraces the natural movement of the brush, allowing slight variations in tone and edge to soften the geometric composition. The resulting surface possesses both freshness and restraint.

  • Winter Rooftops

    Winter Rooftops

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and beautifully restrained mid-century cityscape composition that transforms an everyday cluster of rooftops into an elegant study of form, balance, and light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rather than focusing on architectural detail, the artist reduces the surrounding buildings to simple interlocking planes, allowing the composition to become a harmonious arrangement of rectangles, pitched roofs, and chimneys. The elevated viewpoint creates an intimate glimpse across neighbouring buildings, evoking the quiet atmosphere of an early morning before the city stirs.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting reflects the Scandinavian appreciation for simplicity and order. The carefully flattened perspective, clean geometry, and subtle tonal transitions lend the work a contemplative quality, where familiar urban architecture becomes almost abstract in its rhythmic repetition.

    The palette is deliberately muted and sophisticated, combining warm creams, soft browns, pale taupes, muted terracotta reds, cool slate greys, and charcoal blacks beneath a crisp, powder-blue sky. These restrained colours create a pleasing contrast between warm sunlit façades and cool shadowed rooftops, giving the painting a quiet sense of depth without sacrificing its graphic simplicity.

    The brushwork is smooth and controlled throughout, with thin, even applications of paint that reinforce the crisp architectural forms. Gentle directional brushstrokes remain visible across the flat colour fields, lending the surface warmth and subtle texture while preserving the painting’s clean, minimalist aesthetic.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a stepped profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £460

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and very charming 1948 interior scene, painted in oil onto board.

    The painting invites us into a room filled with personality. A favourite green armchair sits among a carefully gathered collection of paintings, golden frames, warm wooden details, and a sunlit view beyond the window.

    The artist captures more than just a room. They capture the spirit of someone who lives surrounded by the things they love. Each picture on the wall feels like a memory, each object carefully chosen and kept. The slightly playful perspective and expressive brushwork give the painting a storybook quality, where the chair itself almost becomes the collector — proudly keeping watch over its little gallery.

    Rich yellows, earthy browns, and deep greens create a nostalgic glow, while the glimpse of the garden outside brings freshness and life into the space. Full of character and mid-century charm, this piece is a joyful portrait of collecting, creativity, and the beauty of a home shaped by art.

    This oil on canvas is presented in robust solid wood frame with a stepped profile.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing which is commensurate with its age.

  • Stroll Above the Bay

    Stroll Above the Bay

    £585

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively mid-century expressionist landscape painting, executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    This joyful painting captures three figures pausing on a grassy headland as they overlook a tranquil stretch of water framed by sculptural coastal pines. The sweeping composition draws the eye between the distinctive wind-shaped trees towards the shimmering bay beyond, while rolling green hills and rugged shoreline create a lively sense of place. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist distils the landscape into expressive forms, celebrating the harmony between nature and the quiet presence of people within it.

    Executed in a highly expressive, naïve modernist style, the composition is defined by bold outlines, flattened perspective and simplified organic shapes. The twisted crimson tree trunks become rhythmic anchors within the scene, while the figures are rendered with minimal detail, contributing to the painting’s spontaneous charm and decorative quality.

    The palette is vibrant yet harmonious, dominated by fresh spring greens, turquoise-blue water and a pale sky infused with soft blush-pink undertones. Rich crimson reds animate the tree trunks and are echoed subtly in the clothing of the figures and the flowering vegetation, creating visual rhythm across the composition. Crisp black contours unify the forms, while touches of white lend brightness and movement to the sea and landscape.

    The brushwork is energetic and confident, with visible, textured strokes applied in broad passages that allow the weave of the canvas to remain evident in places. Loose, gestural marks and expressive layering create a lively surface full of character, while the deliberate outlining of forms gives the composition clarity and a distinctly graphic quality. The resulting balance of texture, colour and simplified form lends the painting an enduring sense of warmth and optimism.

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

  • Quiet Passage

    Quiet Passage

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully atmospheric mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet rhythm of a valley through expressive colour and simplified form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rolling hills frame an open plain, while hints of fields and pathways emerge from broad, gestural passages of paint. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist evokes the sensation of moving through an expansive countryside, where changing light and shifting weather become the true subject.

    Painted in a lyrical, semi-abstract modernist style, the composition balances recognisable landscape elements with confident abstraction. Forms dissolve into blocks and planes of colour, creating a harmonious interplay between structure and spontaneity. The expansive sky occupies much of the composition, lending the work a wonderful sense of openness and calm.

    The palette is soft and understated, featuring airy blues, sage green, muted teal, dusty pink, warm browns, sandy beige and touches of terracotta, all enlivened with creamy white highlights.

    Expressive brushwork is central to the painting’s appeal. Thick, painterly strokes are applied with confidence, with palette-knife-like marks adding texture throughout the surface. Sweeping gestures define the sky, while shorter, layered strokes build the landscape below, allowing colours to overlap and intermingle. The result is a work that feels both immediate and contemplative, celebrating the expressive qualities of paint as much as the landscape itself.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt wood frame surrounded by a wide textured linen slip.  Both the painting and frame are is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Daphne

    Daphne

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    Set within a tranquil landscape, the painting depicts a sheep named Daphne by the artist, standing peacefully in an open meadow. In the distance, a small white cottage nestles atop a rolling hill, with a ribbon of smoke rising from its chimney beneath a brilliant blue sky dotted with stylised clouds.

    Painted in a contemporary naïve style, the composition embraces simplicity, clarity and a sense of childlike wonder. The artist distils the landscape into softly undulating hills, clean silhouettes and carefully balanced forms, creating a scene that feels both timeless and quietly whimsical.

    The colour palette is fresh and harmonious, combining lush greens with a vivid blue sky and warm cream tones that give the sheep a soft, luminous presence. Gentle beige accents define the animal’s face, legs and ears, while the white cottage introduces a subtle focal point that balances the composition. The restrained palette creates an atmosphere of warmth, optimism and pastoral serenity.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint producing broad, uninterrupted fields of colour. Subtle tonal modulation across the sheep’s fleece suggests softness, while delicate linear brushstrokes within the foreground grass add gentle movement and texture.

    This oil on board is housed in a black painted wooden frame with a gilded inner trim. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • Norma

    Norma

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    A black ewe (named ‘Norma’ by the artist) stands calmly against a simplified countryside, framed by rolling green pasture, glowing yellow hills and a soft grey sky scattered with stylised clouds. With its gentle expression and sturdy silhouette, the animal becomes the quiet focal point of the composition, conveying a sense of contentment and innocence. The intentionally pared-back landscape enhances the painting’s contemplative mood, allowing the humble subject to command the viewer’s attention.

    Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces simplicity and bold forms. The artist avoids unnecessary detail in favour of clean outlines and balanced composition, creating an image that feels both playful and quietly sophisticated.

    The palette is restrained yet striking, contrasting the rich charcoal-black body of the sheep with warm ochre-yellow hills, muted sage-green grass and a softly graduated grey sky. Delicate touches of brown define the sheep’s face and legs, while the subtle golden tones in the landscape introduce warmth and optimism without overwhelming the composition.

    Brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with carefully applied layers producing broad, even areas of colour and very little visible texture. Gentle tonal variation within the sheep’s coat and sky adds depth while maintaining the painting’s clean aesthetic.

  • Cottage Garden Gathering

    Cottage Garden Gathering

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century modern landscape captures the quiet rhythm of everyday life in a peaceful countryside setting, executed in oil onto board.

    A modest white cottage with a steep charcoal roof sits at the heart of the composition, framed by leafy trees and a warm terracotta garden wall. Small figures animate the scene – two gathered around a table beneath the window while another walks across the lawn carrying a basket – bringing a gentle sense of domestic activity without distracting from the tranquil atmosphere.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is simplified into broad, confident forms with an emphasis on balance and mood over fine detail. The artist employs an understated palette of soft sage and celadon greens, creamy whites, blush pinks, deep slate greys, and earthy browns. Carefully placed accents of coral red and blue within the figures introduce subtle moments of colour that enliven the otherwise restrained composition.

    The brushwork is loose, expressive, and painterly, with broad, visible strokes that allow the texture of the surface to remain evident throughout. Buildings and foliage are rendered with gestures rather than precise definition, while the sky is built from sweeping, layered strokes that create a luminous, atmospheric backdrop.

    This oil on board is presented in a simple painted wooden frame finished in an off-white tone, complementing the soft, muted palette of the artwork. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Garden Parasol

    Garden Parasol

    Sold

    SOLD

    A joyful mid-century expressive landscape that captures a garden setting bathed in warm summer sunshine, executed in oil onto canvas onto board and dated 1964.

    A colourful outdoor table and chairs sit beneath a large parasol, surrounded by lush trees and flourishing greenery that fill the composition with life and movement. Rather than focusing on grand scenery, the artist celebrates an intimate outdoor retreat, evoking leisurely afternoons, conversation, and the simple pleasures of the season.

    Executed in an expressive modernist style, the painting embraces bold simplification and energetic mark-making over fine detail. The composition is built from confident shapes and rhythmic forms, lending the scene a lively, almost spontaneous quality. The elevated viewpoint and cropped composition draw the viewer directly into the garden, creating a sense of immediacy and immersion.

    The palette is vibrant and uplifting, dominated by a rich spectrum of emerald, lime, olive, and turquoise greens contrasted with sky blues and refreshing aqua tones. Warm accents of crimson and burgundy in the chairs and table introduce a striking focal point, while touches of soft cream, browns, and pale lavender balance the composition with subtle warmth. Together, the colours convey the brilliance of sunlight filtering through dense foliage.

    The artist’s brushwork is loose, confident, and highly expressive. Broad, visible oil strokes sweep across the canvas, layering colour with remarkable energy and texture. Thick applications of paint define the foliage with gestural movement, while shorter, deliberate strokes describe the furniture and parasol with clarity. This tactile handling of paint allows light and colour to take precedence over precise realism, resulting in a work that feels fresh, spontaneous, and full of the optimism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a warm gilt finish. There are some light surface marks to the top and bottom of the painting, consistent with age. The original frame also shows light age-related wear, including some surface marks particularly along the bottom edge of the linen inner slip.

    The Reader’s Bouquet

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century modern still life that presents an arrangement of flowers in a vase, resting among neatly stacked books, executed in oil onto canvas onto board and dated 1968.

    A single crimson tulip and delicate yellow blooms provide a lively focal point, while the surrounding books introduce a quiet narrative of contemplation and everyday domestic life. The composition feels intimate and unpretentious, celebrating the beauty found in ordinary objects.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist manner, the painting embraces simplified forms and an intentionally loose composition. Rather than striving for realism, the artist captures atmosphere through expressive colour relationships and confident abstraction, allowing the objects to emerge through suggestion rather than precise definition.

    The palette is wonderfully restrained, combining dusty blush pinks, muted sage and blue-greens, soft slate blues, warm creams and touches of earthy browns. These harmonious colours are punctuated by the rich red of the tulip, which enlivens the composition without overwhelming its tranquil mood.

    Thick, impasto brushstrokes animate the surface, with generous applications of paint creating a richly textured finish. Broad palette-knife-like passages and visible directional strokes lend the work an appealing tactile quality, while areas of exposed canvas and layered paint reinforce its spontaneous, painterly character.

    This oil on canvas board is presented in an elegant wood frame with an inner white border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Under an Open Sky

    Under an Open Sky

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene mid-century landscape that captures the expansive beauty of a tidal estuary or coastal marsh, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Broad stretches of pale sand and shallow water merge seamlessly with fresh green meadows beneath a vast, cloud-filled sky. A distant blue ridge anchors the horizon, while weathered timber posts punctuate the foreground, subtly guiding the eye through the open landscape. Rather than focusing on precise topographical detail, the artist conveys the quiet atmosphere and luminous quality of the scene.

    Painted in a restrained modernist style, there is an emphasis on mood, light and colour over realism. T composition is simplified into broad horizontal bands of land, water and sky, creating a calm sense of balance and spaciousness.

    The palette is soft and harmonious, blending cool greys, powder blues and muted slate tones with gentle yellows and fresh spring greens. Delicate shifts in tone evoke changing light across the marshland, while the subdued contrasts lend the painting an understated elegance.

    Brushwork is confident, with broad, flat applications of paint defining the landscape in simplified forms. Thin, layered strokes and lightly textured surfaces allow subtle variations of colour to emerge, while a handful of darker, gestural marks describing the timber posts provide rhythm and visual structure. The result is a tranquil, atmospheric composition that captures the essence of the landscape through suggestion rather than detailed representation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in beautiful wood frame with gilt trimmings. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £450

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A charming mid-century interior that captures the warmth and familiarity of a well-loved family sitting room, executed in oil onto board and dated 1941.

    A glowing brick fireplace forms the heart of the composition, surrounded by polished copper cookware displayed proudly on the walls. A grandfather clock, a rocking chair with a striped cloth, woven rugs and green curtained windows complete the inviting domestic scene, creating a portrait of everyday life filled with comfort and tradition.

    Painted in a restrained modernist style, the composition balances careful perspective with simplified forms and clean geometry. Rather than focusing on intricate detail, the artist emphasises the harmony between furniture, architecture and decorative objects, producing an interior that feels both intimate and thoughtfully composed.

    A warm palette of terracotta, honeyed browns, soft creams and rich walnut browns is contrasted with muted greens, slate blues and charcoal accents. The glowing copper pans and flickering fire introduce gentle highlights that animate the otherwise calm, earthy interior.

    The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint defining the architectural forms and furnishings. Subtle visible brushstrokes soften surfaces and add warmth without becoming overly expressive.

    This oil on board is presented in complementary wood frame with a softly aged cream finish, accented by delicate gilt detailing along the inner and outer edges. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and paint wear, consistent with age and use.

  • Through the Pines

    Through the Pines

    Sold

    SOLD

    A peaceful and large mid-century landscape where a woodland scene unfolds along a gently winding path that disappears into a dense stand of towering pine trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating the track and patches of grass while drawing the eye into the cool, shaded depths of the forest. The composition captures the quiet beauty of an untouched landscape, balancing the vertical rhythm of the tree trunks with the soft curve of the path.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work simplifies natural forms into bold, expressive shapes while retaining a strong sense of atmosphere. Rather than pursuing fine detail, the artist focuses on light, colour and movement, creating an impressionistic interpretation of the landscape.

    The palette is fresh and harmonious, dominated by layered greens ranging from deep evergreen to luminous yellow-green, complemented by earthy browns and soft sky blues. Sunlit passages of creamy white and pale lemon create striking contrasts against the cooler shadows, lending the painting a bright, optimistic quality.

    Confident, painterly brushstrokes define the composition. Broad, fluid strokes build the foliage, while long vertical marks articulate the tree trunks with rhythmic energy. Loose, visible applications of paint suggest rather than describe the landscape, allowing colour and gesture to convey the sensation of dappled light and the stillness of the forest. The result is an expressive, inviting composition that celebrates the beauty of the natural world through a modernist lens.

    This oil on canvas is presented in beautiful wood frame with pronounced wood grain and a subtle stepped profile.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Divided Form

    Divided Form

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling mid-century abstract composition that presents a fragmented, almost architectural figure suspended within a carefully balanced geometric space, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

    Bisected by a vertical band, the form appears simultaneously concealed and revealed, inviting contemplation of identity, duality, and perception. A solitary circular shape floats to the right, introducing a symbolic counterpoint to the central structure.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting combines abstraction with subtle figurative references. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, relying on simplified forms, strong verticality, and a restrained visual language. The interplay between organic curves and rigid geometry creates a quiet sense of tension and balance.

    The palette is earthy and sophisticated, centred around warm chestnut browns, softened by creamy whites, muted olive greens, and passages of charcoal black and bright yellow . A delicate blush tone within the central form adds warmth and depth, while the pale circular motif introduces a gentle luminosity.

    Brushwork is understated yet expressive. Thinly applied layers allow the texture of the canvas to remain visible, lending the work a tactile quality. Softly blended transitions contrast with more sharply defined edges, creating a subtle push and pull between solidity and atmosphere. The result is a contemplative and highly refined abstract painting that rewards prolonged viewing.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame, whose warm honey-toned shade complements the earthy palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sunlit Arrangement

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly coloured and striking mid-century still life that presents a thoughtfully arranged grouping of domestic objects – a ceramic jug, cylindrical vessel, pears, lemons, and draped cloth – set upon a tabletop, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rather than pursuing realism, the artist has reduced each form into bold, interlocking shapes, creating a composition that feels both structured and expressive.

    Executed in a modernist style with hints of Cubist influence, the painting emphasises colour, form, and spatial relationships over precise representation. Objects are simplified into geometric planes and outlined with confident contours, lending the composition a strong sense of rhythm and balance.

    The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by rich ochres, burnt oranges, terracotta reds, and umber browns, enlivened by accents of lemon yellow, turquoise, and pale blue. These contrasting colours create visual energy while maintaining an overall harmony that is characteristic of mid-century modernist painting.

    Brushwork is broad and assured, with visible, painterly strokes that build form through blocks of colour rather than fine detail. The surface retains a pleasing immediacy, allowing the artist’s hand to remain evident throughout.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary warm honey-toned wood frame with a stepped profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pastel Settlement

    Pastel Settlement

    £620

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist composition that reduces a landscape to its essential forms, transforming a familiar rural scene into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of simplified buildings sits along the horizon, their geometric silhouettes emerging from broad fields of muted earth tones and soft pastel hues. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and abstracted, balancing observation with artistic interpretation.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist dispenses with descriptive detail in favour of large, carefully structured planes of colour. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, with horizontal bands of land and sky intersected by the angular forms of houses and rooftops. This simplification creates a sense of calm order and architectural rhythm, recalling the restrained aesthetic of European post-war modernism.

    The palette is particularly refined, comprising delicate lavender, pale cream, blush pink, sage green, dusty blue-grey, and warm earthy browns. These softened colours lend the work a quiet luminosity and contemplative mood, while subtle tonal variations create depth without disrupting the painting’s overall serenity.

    Brushwork is restrained yet expressive. Broad, confident applications of paint leave visible traces of the artist’s hand, with softly textured surfaces and gently uneven edges contributing warmth and character. The paint is applied in flat, matte passages, emphasising form and colour relationships, allowing the composition’s elegant simplicity to take centre stage.

  • Along the Blue Coast

    Along the Blue Coast

    £545

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century modernist landscape that distils a coastal scene into a series of simplified shapes and harmonious colour fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rolling greenery, pale hillside forms, and a deep blue sea are reduced to their essential elements, creating a composition that feels both abstract and recognisably rooted in nature.

    The artist employs a distinctly modernist approach, favouring flat planes of colour over detailed representation. Houses emerge from the landscape as geometric forms, their pale facades and muted terracotta roofs nestled amongst rounded masses of foliage. The result is a composition that balances abstraction with a strong sense of place, evoking the warmth and tranquillity of a Mediterranean coastal setting.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, dominated by soft sage greens, pale mint tones, cool greys, and varying shades of blue. These colours create a gentle rhythm across the surface, while subtle contrasts between the dark foliage and luminous architectural forms provide depth and visual structure. The expansive blue sea and sky lend the work a calm, contemplative atmosphere.

    Brushwork is confident. Broad, deliberate applications of paint define the landscape through shape rather than detail, while visible texture and vertical traces within the paint surface reveal the artist’s hand. The slightly uneven application of colour enhances the work’s tactile quality, reinforcing its modernist character and lending warmth to its simplified forms.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim cream-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks.

  • The Young Guitarist

    The Young Guitarist

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century figurative painting that captures a young male figure absorbed in the act of playing a guitar, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Seated in an intimate interior, the figure is portrayed with his head bowed in concentration, creating a sense of quiet introspection and emotional connection to the music. A loosely rendered artwork hangs behind him, reinforcing the creative atmosphere of the scene.

    Executed in an expressive modernist style, the composition balances observation with painterly freedom. The artist simplifies forms and contours, allowing colour and gesture to carry much of the emotional weight. The elongated figure and understated facial features lend the work a poetic, contemplative quality.

    The palette is warm and luminous, dominated by soft creams, buttery yellows and pale greens. Rich accents of burnt sienna, browns and a striking crimson tie introduce rhythm and contrast, while the golden guitar becomes the visual focal point of the composition. Delicate lavender and grey passages in the background add depth and subtle complexity.

    Brushwork is energetic and confident throughout, with visible, gestural strokes that remain spontaneous and expressive. Broad applications of paint define the figure and guitar, while lighter, sketch-like marks animate the background. The result is a work that feels both immediate and intimate, capturing not only the likeness of the sitter but also the mood and quiet intensity of a musician lost in his craft.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with a gilt outer edge and inner slip, Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 87 x 73 cm (including frame)

  • Woman in a Blue Coat

    Woman in a Blue Coat

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century modern figurative composition that portrays a seated female figure rendered through a cubist lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Wearing a striking cobalt-blue coat and an elaborate floral hat, the figure occupies a loosely defined interior setting populated by still-life elements including bottles, a keyboard, and geometric furnishings. The artist blends portraiture and abstraction, creating a scene that feels both intimate and psychologically distant, with the sitter’s downcast gaze lending the work a contemplative, almost melancholic atmosphere.

    The painting demonstrates strong influences of Cubism. Forms are fragmented into angular planes and intersecting lines, with the figure and surrounding objects dissolved into a network of geometric shapes. Rather than striving for realism, the artist focuses on structure, rhythm, and emotional expression, allowing the composition to oscillate between representation and abstraction.

    The colour palette is sophisticated and restrained, dominated by rich blues, soft greys, muted creams, and earthy browns. Accents of pale turquoise, dusty pink, and burgundy introduce warmth and visual interest, particularly within the sitter’s hat and the surrounding still-life elements. The cool tones of the figure’s clothing provide a strong focal point against the quieter, atmospheric background.

    Brushwork is expressive and varied, combining thin washes with broader applications of paint. Deliberate black contour lines define forms and reinforce the painting’s architectural structure, while areas of dry-brushed pigment and visible canvas texture contribute to its tactile quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with gilt detailing to the outer moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The Gentleman

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative and uniquely textured mid-century figurative portrait depicting a seated man rendered in profile, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Wearing a dark flat cap and simple jacket, the figure appears absorbed in thought, his posture relaxed yet dignified. The composition conveys a sense of introspection and quiet resilience, with the sitter emerging gently from an abstracted background.

    Executed in an expressive modernist manner, the painting balances representation with abstraction. The artist reduces the figure to essential forms and gestures, allowing mood and character to take precedence over precise detail. The sparse setting and generous negative space draw attention to the sitter’s presence while enhancing the work’s meditative quality.

    The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by soft greys, pale creams, muted whites, and subtle blue-grey tones. Delicate accents of olive green and warm earth colours animate the face and clothing, lending warmth and humanity to the otherwise cool composition. The contrast between the dark cap and the luminous background creates a striking focal point.

    The brushwork is loose, painterly, and highly expressive. Broad, sweeping strokes define the background, while layered passages of thicker paint and textured applications bring life to the sitter’s features. Sketch-like linear marks remain visible in areas of the clothing, revealing the artist’s process and lending an immediacy to the work. The combination of fluid washes, dry-brush effects, and impasto-like textures creates a rich surface that rewards close inspection.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim black-toned wood frame. The painting and frame are both in  good vintage condition.

  • Sicily

    Sicily

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid century original landscape painting of Taormina in Sicily, executed in oil onto board.

    The work captures the Mediterranean’s timeless appeal through a soft, impressionistic lens. The composition looks out across a sunlit coastal garden toward the tranquil blue sea.

    A graceful palm tree rises against a pale sky, acting as a vertical anchor amid the horizontal sweep of sea and shoreline. In the foreground, flowering borders burst with colours of reds, yellows, blues, and greens rendered in delicate, dappled brushstrokes. A large terracotta urn overflowing with blooms adds a distinctly Mediterranean character, while white terraces and garden walls guide the eye gently through the composition.

    The artist employs a light, atmospheric palette of sea blues, sage greens, soft creams, and warm earth tones, evoking the hazy warmth of a Sicilian afternoon. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the painting captures the mood and sensation of place: the scent of flowers on warm air, the shimmer of sunlight on water, and the leisurely elegance of a coastal garden overlooking the Ionian Sea.

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

  • The Matador's Pause

    The Matador’s Pause

    Sold

    SOLD

    An emotive mid-century oil painting that captures a fleeting moment within the drama of the bullring, by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    A matador stands poised before a powerful black bull, his red cape sweeping across the arena floor. Beyond the central encounter, spectators and figures dissolve into soft, indistinct forms, reinforcing the sense of movement, tension, and spectacle.

    Executed in a painterly modernist style, the composition is pared back to its essential elements. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist conveys atmosphere and emotion through simplified forms, bold colour relationships, and confident gestural mark-making. The scene feels both immediate and timeless, balancing the intensity of the confrontation with an almost dreamlike sense of distance.

    The palette is warm and sun-drenched, dominated by golden yellows, sandy ochres, muted taupes, and flashes of vivid crimson. The deep black of the bull provides a dramatic counterpoint to the brightness of the arena, while subtle touches of cream, peach, and grey soften the background and create depth.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive throughout. Broad, visible strokes build the arena and sky, while quick, energetic applications of paint define the figures and movement of the cape. Areas of impasto add texture and vitality to the surface, allowing the painting’s physicality to contribute to its sense of drama and spontaneity.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary champagne toned wood frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £415

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene 20th century landscape that captures a quiet meadow dotted with wildflowers at the edge of a lightly wooded grove, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1981.

    A scattering of slender trees rises from a carpet of soft grasses and delicate blooms. The scene evokes the stillness of a spring morning, where nature is observed with sensitivity and restraint.

    Executed in a gently impressionistic style, the painting prioritises atmosphere and mood over strict detail. The artist uses softened forms and subtle transitions of tone to create depth, allowing the landscape to dissolve gracefully into the distance. The composition feels airy and contemplative, inviting the viewer into a peaceful natural setting.

    The colour palette is fresh and understated, built around harmonious shades of sage green, celadon, pale blue, and silvery grey. Touches of lavender, violet, and bright yellow wildflowers animate the foreground, providing delicate accents against the cool greens of the meadow and trees. The pale sky lends an overall luminosity to the work, enhancing its tranquil character.

    Brushwork is light and fluid. Thin, vertical strokes describe grasses and tree trunks, while loosely applied layers of paint suggest foliage and distant woodland. The flowers are rendered with small, lively touches of colour that enliven the surface without disturbing the painting’s calm rhythm.

  • Fruit & Lilac Jug

    Fruit & Lilac Jug

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century modernist still life that presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a stylised lilac jug, a bowl filled with green fruit, and a sliced fruit resting alongside, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    Containing elements of abstraction, the artist reduces each object to simplified geometric forms, creating a harmonious balance between shape, colour, and space.

    The painting is executed in a restrained modernist style, with flattened forms and an emphasis on pattern and structure over detail. The objects are outlined by soft, irregular white contours that lend the work a playful, almost collage-like quality. The arrangement is thoughtfully composed, with each element occupying a distinct visual rhythm across the elongated horizontal format.

    The colour palette is fresh and understated, combining soft aqua blues, pale mint greens, dusty pinks, and muted lavender tones. These gentle hues are balanced against creamy off-white passages, creating an atmosphere of calm and light. The subtle contrasts between cool and warm colours add depth while maintaining the painting’s serene, airy character.

    Brushwork is confident yet restrained, with visible, broad strokes applied in thin layers. The paint surface reveals the artist’s hand through softly textured applications and lightly brushed passages, allowing edges to remain slightly imperfect and organic.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame that features a stepped profile. The panting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing.

  • Where the Trees Gather

    Where the Trees Gather

    Sold

    SOLD

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a grove of trees rendered through a highly simplified and painterly lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Here, the artist distills the scene into a series of interlocking organic forms, evoking the rhythm and character of the natural environment. The composition suggests a stand of trees, their rounded canopies and twisting trunks emerging from a sunlit clearing beneath an expansive sky.

    Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the painting balances representation with abstraction. The forms are reduced to broad, sculptural shapes, creating a sense of quiet monumentality while retaining the essence of the landscape. The composition feels contemplative and timeless, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as a mood rather than a specific place.

    A restrained palette of soft sage greens, muted blue-greys, pale creams, and warm sandy browns lends the work a serene and harmonious quality. Subtle passages of charcoal, olive, and earthy brown provide contrast and depth, while hints of sky blue illuminate the upper portion of the composition.

    The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, characterised by broad sweeping strokes and layered applications of paint. Visible brush marks animate the surface, with curved gestures describing foliage and more angular strokes defining trunks and shadows. The resulting texture creates a gentle sense of movement, enhancing the painting’s lyrical interpretation of the landscape.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary silver painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Last Light of Day

    The Last Light of Day

    £450

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gestural contemporary abstract painting that evokes the meeting of land, sky, and memory through a restrained yet deeply expressive composition, executed in oil onto canvas and comes unframed.

    A broad expanse of soft, atmospheric grey-beige occupies the upper portion of the canvas, while the lower section is animated by sweeping bands of white, umber, espresso brown, and charcoal. The scene suggests a windswept shoreline, a snow-covered plain, or a distant horizon viewed through mist, though it remains intentionally open to interpretation.

    Executed in a minimalist abstract landscape style, the work balances serenity with movement. The composition is anchored by a low horizon line, creating a strong sense of space and contemplation. Its understated palette and reductive forms recall gestural abstraction, where mood and texture take precedence over literal representation.

    The colour palette is sophisticated and neutral, comprising warm taupes, soft greys, ivory whites, rich chocolate browns, and touches of deep black. These earthy tones lend the painting a calming, organic presence while creating subtle contrasts between light and dark.

    Brushwork is energetic and tactile in the lower half of the composition. Broad palette-knife sweeps, scraped passages, and layered impasto create a richly textured surface that captures and reflects light. In contrast, the sky is rendered with thin, softly blended layers, producing a velvety, atmospheric effect. The interplay between smooth and heavily worked areas creates both visual tension and harmony, inviting prolonged viewing.

    This oil on canvas is presented unframed. The work remains in very good condition overall.

    An atmospheric contemporary abstract painting distils the essence of a landscape into a series of elegant, gestural forms, executed in oil onto canvas and comes unframed.

    A broad horizon stretches across the composition, dividing a vast, atmospheric sky from a layered expanse of earth below. Soft cloud-like masses drift through the upper register, while sweeping horizontal bands evoke rolling fields, distant waterways, or windswept terrain.

    Executed in a restrained abstract expressionist style, the work balances spontaneity with calm precision. The composition relies on subtle tonal relationships rather than detailed representation, creating a contemplative sense of space and openness. Its minimal palette and confident mark-making lend the painting a distinctly modernist sensibility.

    The colour palette is composed of warm stone, sand, cream, ivory, umber, and deep espresso brown, punctuated by passages of luminous white. These earthy neutrals create a soothing atmosphere while allowing the darker linear elements to provide depth and structure.

    Brushwork varies throughout the composition, from translucent washes and softly blended passages in the sky to energetic palette-knife strokes and sweeping gestures across the landscape. Layered applications of paint reveal traces of movement and texture, with scraped and dragged marks creating a sense of natural erosion and shifting light. The result is a work that feels both expansive and intimate, capturing the quiet poetry of an imagined horizon.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A  compelling and emotive mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a solitary seated figure reduced to a series of expressive, interlocking forms, executed in oil onto board.

    The subject emerges from the surface through broad passages of dark paint, with the head and torso only loosely defined, inviting the viewer to engage with the work on an emotional rather than literal level. The figure appears suspended between abstraction and representation, conveying a sense of quiet introspection and psychological depth.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting demonstrates the influence of post-war European abstraction, where gesture, structure, and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The composition is carefully balanced, with the dark central mass contrasted against a luminous and softly modulated background.

    The palette is restrained yet sophisticated, featuring charcoal black, slate grey, warm yellows, sandy beige, cream, and touches of muted blue. These subtle colour relationships create a gentle luminosity that softens the otherwise powerful silhouette of the figure.

    Brushwork is confident and highly tactile, with thick impasto passages and visible palette-knife marks lending the surface considerable texture. Layered strokes overlap and intersect across the canvas, revealing the artist’s process and creating a rich interplay of movement and solidity. The resulting composition possesses both strength and sensitivity, capturing the essence of the human form through abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary light ash-toned wood frame with a gently stepped profile. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There is some craquelure visible across areas of the painted surface, consistent with the age of the work; however, it appears stable and does not detract from the overall presentation.

    A charming mid-century modern composition that presents a serene landscape scene viewed from an elevated vantage point, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of white farm buildings with distinctive red roofs nestles among gently undulating fields, while a graceful arched viaduct traverses the middle ground, guiding the eye through the composition. Scattered trees punctuate the rolling terrain, lending rhythm and balance to the peaceful agricultural setting.

    Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the painting simplifies the landscape into broad geometric forms and carefully balanced shapes. The composition captures the essence of the countryside rather than its precise details, where structure, colour, and mood take precedence over realism.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, comprising muted sage greens, dusty blues, soft browns, warm browns, pale creams, and gentle greys. The small accents of terracotta red on the rooftops provide a focal point and introduce warmth against the otherwise subdued tones.

    Brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with thinly applied paint and broad, confident strokes defining the contours of the fields and hillsides. Soft blending and layered washes create a sense of depth and atmosphere, while visible directional brushstrokes lend movement and texture to the cultivated landscape. The result is a composition that feels both tranquil and thoughtfully constructed.

    A simple arrangement of furniture: a central table, sideboard, chair, and decorative stand is positioned around a large window, through which glimpses of greenery and sky provide a sense of openness and calm. The composition celebrates the beauty of everyday interiors, transforming an ordinary living space into a study of light, atmosphere, and form.

    Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist simplifies the furnishings into geometric shapes and broad planes of colour. The perspective is intentionally relaxed and slightly flattened, lending the work an intimate, spontaneous quality.

    The palette is warm and inviting, dominated by earthy terracotta, russet, ochre, and soft beige tones, balanced by cool accents of pale blue, slate grey, and muted turquoise. Sunlight streaming through the window creates subtle contrasts of warm and cool hues, animating the room with a gentle luminosity.

    Brushwork is confident and expressive, with visible directional strokes and areas of loosely applied paint. The artist employs a combination of dry-brush textures, layered washes, and energetic mark-making, allowing the structure of the composition to emerge through painterly gesture rather than precise detail.

    SOLD

    A calm and atmospheric contemporary abstract landscape composition that captures the quiet grandeur of a lake or reservoir nestled within a sweeping valley, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2002.

    The scene unfolds from an elevated viewpoint, with a broad expanse of silvery water cutting through dark wooded hills and receding into a distant horizon. In the foreground, a vibrant band of  burnt orange terrain introduces warmth and energy, creating a dramatic contrast against the cool, atmospheric landscape beyond.

    Executed in a semi-abstract style, the artist reduces the natural world to simplified forms and expansive colour fields, emphasising mood and spatial depth over fine detail. The composition balances geometric structure with painterly expression, lending the work a contemplative and almost dreamlike quality.

    The palette is both restrained and evocative, dominated by soft greys, slate blues, charcoal blacks, and misty whites, punctuated by luminous passages of orange. These warm foreground tones draw the eye into the composition and suggest the fleeting colours of autumn against an otherwise tranquil landscape.

    Brushwork varies throughout the surface, from broad, sweeping applications of paint in the sky and water to more textured, layered strokes within the wooded hills. Subtle vertical marks and dry-brush effects create movement and atmosphere, while the smooth treatment of the water lends the composition a sense of stillness and quiet reflection. The result is a powerful and atmospheric work that bridges abstraction and landscape painting with elegance and restraint.

    Spatial Dialogue

    Sold

    SOLD

    A captivating mid-century still life that reduces everyday objects to a carefully balanced arrangement of geometric forms and tonal relationships, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    A simple tabletop supports a solitary bottle and a small circular object, while dark vertical planes and architectural shapes rise behind them, creating a composition that feels both intimate and monumental. The scene hovers between representation and abstraction, inviting the viewer to focus on structure, rhythm, and atmosphere rather than narrative detail.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting reflects the influence of abstraction. Forms are flattened and distilled into bold blocks of colour, while strong verticals and angular planes create a sense of spatial tension. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, with the bottle acting as a quiet focal point amidst a series of intersecting shapes and muted surfaces.

    The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by soft greys, charcoal blacks, warm orange, and earthy browns, punctuated by subtle touches of rust red and pale blue. These understated colours lend the work a contemplative, atmospheric quality while enhancing its architectural character.

    Brushwork is expressive yet controlled, with broad, confident applications of paint and visible palette-knife-like passages. Areas of scraped and exposed underpainting create texture and depth, while rough-edged forms and layered surfaces contribute to the painting’s tactile, lived-in presence.

    Cubist Breakfast

    Sold

    A striking mid-century modern still life that presents a carefully arranged tabletop scene set against what appears to be a balcony or waterfront outlook, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A faceted silver coffee pot rises at the centre of the composition, accompanied by a bowl overflowing with grapes and pale green fruit all placed upon an orange tabletop. Behind, the suggestion of railings and shimmering turquoise water beyond creates a subtle dialogue between interior and exterior space.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting combines elements of Cubism and post-war European abstraction. Forms are simplified into geometric planes and intersecting shapes, with objects fragmented and reassembled through an expressive architectural structure. Rather than striving for realism, the artist focuses on balance, pattern, and the interplay of light and form.

    The palette is fresh and luminous, dominated by aqua blue, warm orange, muted sage green, dove grey, and earthy brown. The vibrant orange tablecloth provides a striking contrast to the cool blues of the fruit and background, creating a lively yet harmonious visual tension.

    Brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible strokes and layered applications of paint that lend texture and vitality to the surface. Fine linear accents outline and divide forms, reinforcing the composition’s geometric character, while areas of loosely applied colour allow the painting to retain a spontaneous and expressive quality.

  • The Quiet Within

    The Quiet Within

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century portrait that captures a female figure in profile with her with her eyes gently closed, immersed in a moment of quiet reflection, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Her simplified features, wrapped headscarf, and composed posture lend the work a sense of serenity and inner contemplation. Rather than engaging the viewer directly, the figure appears absorbed in her own thoughts, creating an atmosphere of calm dignity and introspection.

    The artist has used simplified forms and broad planes of colour rather than detailed realism. The figure is constructed through confident shapes, creating a powerful presence while retaining an air of softness and introspection. The profile view recalls the refined portraiture of mid-century European modernism, where character is conveyed through form, colour, and mood rather than precise detail.

    The palette is beautifully balanced, combining warm earth tones, deep charcoal blacks, muted greens, creamy whites, and delicate blush-pink hues in the background. These colours create a harmonious contrast, with the subtle pink ground imparting a gentle luminosity that enhances the figure’s silhouette.

    Brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible painterly strokes and layered applications of paint contributing texture and depth. Areas of exposed underpainting and softened edges reinforce the work’s spontaneous, expressive quality, while the confident handling of colour and form imbues the portrait with timeless sophistication.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an attractive frame with a warm gilt-toned finish and cream inner slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is a small loss to the bottom left corner of the frame but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Gathered Harvest

    Gathered Harvest

    £435

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century still life that captures a carefully arranged collection of apples, ceramic ware, and draped textiles bathed in warm, radiant light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A soft green pitcher stands prominently among a gathering of freshly picked apples, while a decorative plate and floral-patterned fabric provide a richly textured backdrop. The composition celebrates the beauty of everyday objects, transforming a simple domestic scene into a study of colour, light, and abundance.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the painting balances realism with a gentle decorative sensibility. The artist simplifies forms and emphasises harmonious relationships between shape, colour, and pattern, creating a composition that feels both intimate and uplifting. The arrangement is thoughtfully constructed, guiding the eye through the interplay of fruit, ceramics, and flowing fabric.

    The palette is joyful, dominated by glowing yellows, warm oranges, soft reds, and creamy whites. Delicate touches of blue and green in the patterned cloth and ceramics introduce a refreshing contrast, while the sunlit backdrop infuses the entire work with warmth and vitality. The resulting atmosphere is one of comfort, optimism, and domestic elegance.

    Brushwork is fluid and expressive, with soft, painterly strokes used to model the apples and folds of fabric. Light is handled with particular sensitivity, creating subtle highlights and gentle transitions that lend the composition depth and movement. The visible brushstrokes contribute to the painting’s lively, handcrafted character.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition overall. There appears to be a possible pencil mark visible on the decorative plate within the composition, and the frame shows some minor scuffs.

  • Old Wall Patterns

    Old Wall Patterns

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lyrical landscape that captures the  poetry of the countryside through colour, texture, and memory, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A winding pale path or stone wall meanders through rolling fields, leading the eye gently into the distance. The landscape unfolds in layers of soft golds, muted greens, russet reds, and dusky mauves, creating a patchwork of fields and vegetation that feels both observed and imagined. A hillside rises across the middle ground, dotted with delicate tree forms rendered as decorative marks and textured clusters, giving the scene a tapestry-like quality.

    The title suggests that the landscape is shaped by the enduring presence of old boundary walls—those subtle human interventions that become absorbed into the natural rhythms of the land over time. The pale, serpentine line crossing the composition acts as both a visual guide and a reminder of the history embedded in the terrain.

    The artist’s handling of paint is expressive and atmospheric. Layers of translucent colour, scratching, and textured brushwork create a sense of depth and weathered age. Rather than describing every detail, she evokes the feeling of a landscape shaped by seasons, memory, and time.

    This oil on canvas is framed in a custom made wide profile frame that suits it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Severn Haze

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A luminous and atmospheric landscape that captures the fleeting beauty of the Severn estuary through colour, light, and abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rather than describing the landscape in detail, the artist evokes its atmosphere. The painting seems to hover between observation and memory, where forms are softened and edges blurred by moisture in the air. This sense of haze is central to the work, lending it a dreamlike tranquillity and a feeling of vast open space.

    The palette is especially striking. Cool aquatic blues and mint greens are balanced by touches of blush pink and buttery yellow, creating a gentle harmony that recalls the changing light of early morning or late afternoon. Loose brushwork and translucent layers allow colours to merge and glow, suggesting reflections, shifting weather, and the ever-changing character of the estuary landscape.

    There is a strong sense of calm throughout the painting. The broad horizontal bands of land, water, and sky create a meditative rhythm, while the distant hill anchors the composition and gives it a  sense of permanence amid the shifting light.

    This oil on canvas is framed in a custom floater frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    A warm and evocative landscape that captures the emotional essence of returning to a familiar place, executed in oil onto board.

    Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist distils the scene into interlocking planes of colour, allowing memory and atmosphere to take centre stage.

    Soft lilacs, warm golds, pale turquoise blues, and delicate pinks bathe the scene in a gentle light. The colours feel remembered rather than observed, suggesting the emotional landscape of “home” rather than a literal location. Thick, confident brushstrokes and layers of paint add texture and movement, giving the work a vibrant, tactile presence.

    The painting balances abstraction and representation beautifully. Houses, water, hills, and pathways are all recognisable, yet they dissolve into a harmonious arrangement of colour and shape.

    This oil on board is presented in a custom made wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Bottle & Pear by the Window

    Bottle & Pear by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed still life of a bottle and pear by a window, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre of the composition stand two familiar forms: a tall, dark bottle and a luminous green pear. Their contrasting shapes and colours create a simple yet compelling dialogue. The bottle rises vertically with a restrained, almost architectural presence, while the pear introduces softness, warmth, and organic vitality.

    What truly animates the painting is the treatment of light. Sunlight streams through an unseen window, casting strong diagonal bands across the wall and tabletop. These geometric shafts of light create a dramatic framework around the objects, while long shadows stretch across the surface, giving the scene a sense of depth and permanence. The reflected window panes visible on the bottle’s glossy surface add a subtle note of realism and observation.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame painted black with inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Friesians in the Mist

    Friesians in the Mist

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly atmospheric painting of Friesian cows in a landscape, executed in oil onto board.

    It is a painting that finds beauty not in dramatic scenery, but in atmosphere and fleeting light. It is less a picture of cows in a field than a meditation on stillness, distance, and the soft veiling effects of mist.

    The first thing that strikes you is the overwhelming sense of calm. A pale blanket of mist spreads across the landscape, dissolving hard edges and muting detail. The world feels suspended between night and day, perhaps in the first moments after dawn when sound is muffled and the landscape seems half remembered.

    The horizon is low and distant, with a line of trees emerging like shadows through the haze. Their softened silhouettes reinforce the feeling of depth while maintaining the painting’s dreamlike quality.

    The black-and-white Friesian cattle provide the painting’s emotional anchor. Their distinctive markings emerge gently from the mist. With their heads lowered, they graze quietly, absorbed in their own world. The dark shapes of their bodies create a beautiful contrast against the cool, pale surroundings.

    This oil on board is presented in a black wood frame with an inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • A Stitch in Time

    A Stitch in Time

    Sold

    SOLD

    A beautifully expressive mid-century figurative painting that captures a seated figure absorbed in the careful handling of a piece of white fabric, executed in oil onto

    With her head bowed and hands engaged in her work, the figure appears to be sewing, or embroidering, capturing a timeless domestic moment of focus and quiet concentration.

    Rendered in a loose, painterly modernist style, the composition balances representation with abstraction. The artist reduces details to confident blocks of colour and energetic brushwork, allowing gesture and mood to take precedence over precise realism. The figure emerges from a largely neutral background, creating a sense of intimacy and drawing the viewer into the quiet rhythm of the activity.

    The palette is dominated by soft whites, cool greys, and pale blues, enlivened by vivid passages of crimson, ochre, olive green, and black within the figure’s clothing. These vibrant accents introduce movement and visual interest while maintaining the work’s overall harmony.

    Brushstrokes are bold and expressive, ranging from thick impasto applications to quick, sketch-like marks. Layers of broken colour and energetic brushwork create a richly textured surface, lending the painting a sense of immediacy and human warmth. The result is a compelling portrayal of everyday life, elevated through the artist’s sensitive handling of form, colour, and gesture.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a refined light linen-lined frame with a slim dark wood outer edge. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.

  • Where the Light Settles

    Where the Light Settles

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric abstract landscape composition that distils the essence of a quiet horizon into a series of gestural forms and atmospheric colour fields, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The composition suggests a windswept coastal plain or open countryside, where low-lying landforms emerge from a luminous expanse of sky. Rather than depicting a specific location, the artist captures a fleeting impression of place – one shaped by memory, mood, and light.

    The painting balances abstraction and landscape, reducing natural forms to expressive strokes and simplified masses. The restrained composition creates a sense of openness and stillness, inviting contemplation while allowing the viewer’s imagination to complete the scene.

    A subtle palette of soft ivory, pale blue, warm browns, slate grey, and earthy umber lends the work a gentle, atmospheric quality. Delicate accents of golden yellow punctuate the horizon, suggesting sunlight breaking through distant forms and providing warmth against the cooler tones.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, lending texture and movement across the painted surface. Broad, sweeping strokes define the sky, while layered, energetic marks in the foreground create a sense of depth and shifting terrain. The varied application of paint – from thin washes to thicker passages – imbues the work with a tactile quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautiful frame with a warm gilt finish and stepped moulding profile. Both the painting and frame are excellent vintage condition.

  • Veils of Light

    Veils of Light

    £465

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century modern composition that evokes a dreamlike architectural landscape suspended between reality and memory, executed in oil onto board.

    Monumental geometric forms emerge from a luminous mist, their sharp angles softened by an atmosphere of stillness and quiet contemplation. In the distance, delicate buildings and slender sailboats appear almost as apparitions, while a solitary sphere and folded plane-like forms in the foreground introduce a subtle surrealist tension.

    Rendered in a restrained palette of icy blues, pearl whites, silvery greys, and blushes of lavender, the painting is suffused with a cool, ethereal light. The artist masterfully employs tonal gradation rather than strong contrast, allowing forms to dissolve gently into one another and creating a sense of vast, open space.

    The style reflects the refined elegance of mid-century modernism, combining geometric abstraction with elements of surrealist painting. Architectural volumes are reduced to their essential shapes, lending the work a contemplative quality.

    Brushwork is exceptionally smooth and controlled, with finely blended layers producing a soft, almost airbrushed appearance. Subtle horizontal strokes in the sky and delicate transitions of tone throughout the composition contribute to the painting’s tranquil atmosphere, while crisp edges on the geometric forms provide structure and balance. The result is a poetic meditation on light, space, and silence.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary silver-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.

    Pears & Pitcher

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant contemporary still life that presents a simple arrangement of everyday objects: a dark earthenware pitcher, green pears and apples all set upon a loosely draped cloth, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition balances solidity and spontaneity, transforming familiar domestic forms into a study of shape and colour. The objects are distilled to their essential silhouettes, creating a quiet yet engaging dialogue between positive and negative space.

    Executed in a boldly expressive style, the painting draws upon modernist and post-impressionist influences. Rather than striving for realism, the artist emphasises form, colour relationships, and painterly energy. The pitcher anchors the composition with its strong, sculptural presence, while the pears introduce vibrant accents that enliven the foreground.

    The palette is fresh and harmonious, combining deep chocolate browns, cool turquoise blues, soft creams, and greens punctuated by touches of red. These contrasts create a sense of visual rhythm and lend the work a lively, contemporary character. The interplay between warm and cool tones enhances both depth and atmosphere.

    Brushwork is confident and direct, with broad, gestural strokes applied in a manner that remains visible across the surface. Areas of layered paint sit alongside thinner passages, allowing the artist’s hand to remain present throughout the composition. This energetic handling gives the painting a sense of immediacy and charm, capturing not only the objects themselves but also the fleeting quality of light and observation.

    Light Over the Valley

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century modern semi-abstract landscape that distils the countryside into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and light, executed in oil onto board.

    Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, leading the eye towards a tranquil body of water and a scattering of farm buildings nestled beneath distant blue-grey hills. A small stand of stylised trees anchors the composition, lending both rhythm and balance to the expansive scene.

    Executed in a distinctly Scandinavian modernist manner, the painting favours simplification over detail, reducing the landscape to broad geometric forms and carefully calibrated planes of colour.

    The palette is soft and restrained, dominated by creamy whites, muted sage greens, pale yellows, and layered blues that recede gently into the horizon. Subtle touches of lavender-grey and warm earth tones add depth and atmosphere, while the luminous sky bathes the entire scene in a delicate, diffused light.

    Brushwork is controlled, with smooth, flattened areas of paint creating a velvety surface. Gentle layering and subtle tonal shifts provide depth without disrupting the composition’s calm simplicity.

  • Autumn Valley

    Autumn Valley

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a countryside at the height of the changing season, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, where a solitary red-roofed cottage rests amidst sweeping green meadows, lending a sense of scale to the expansive vista. Beyond, a vibrant belt of autumn foliage stretches across the valley floor, its fiery hues glowing against the darker wooded ridges and distant hills that frame the horizon.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist distils the landscape into broad, simplified forms and expressive passages of colour, prioritising mood and rhythm over strict realism. The composition is carefully balanced, with horizontal bands of field, forest, and sky creating a sense of harmony and depth, while the undulating contours of the land gently guide the viewer’s eye through the scene.

    The palette is both rich and nuanced, combining warm oranges, burnt siennas and soft crimsons with cool passages of sage green, blue-grey, lavender, and pale turquoise. Above, an expansive sky is animated by layered clouds rendered in sweeping strokes of blues and white, suggesting shifting light and the onset of changing weather.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Short, energetic strokes build the foliage into a tapestry of colour, while broader, more gestural applications of paint define the fields and sky. Areas of visible canvas and loosely applied pigment lend the work a freshness and immediacy, capturing not only the appearance of the landscape but also its atmosphere and emotional resonance.

  • Coral Sunset

    Coral Sunset

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and highly expressive mid century modern coastal scene, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The painting captures a lively beach bathed in the glow of a dramatic setting sun. Stylised bathers and scattered logs animate the shoreline, while rocky outcrops frame a shimmering sea beneath a radiant coral-pink sky.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist has reduced forms to bold silhouettes and expressive outlines, favouring emotional impact over realism as colour, atmosphere, and gesture take precedence over fine detail. The result is energetic and playful.

    The palette is dominated by luminous coral pinks, salmon reds, and warm orange-red tones, contrasted by cool blue-grey rocks and touches of black linework. The vibrant red sun acts as the visual anchor of the composition, while the pale beach and sparkling sea create a dynamic interplay between warmth and coolness.

    Bold, confident brushwork animates every surface of the painting. The sky is constructed with vigorous directional strokes radiating outward from the setting sun, creating a sense of light and movement. Across the water, thick dabs and broken passages of paint suggest sparkling reflections, while the figures and rocks are rendered with brisk, gestural marks and expressive outlines. The visible impasto and energetic handling of paint contribute to the work’s immediacy and charm.

    The painting captures two figures seated on a bench overlooking a tranquil waterfront. In the distance, a solitary lighthouse rises against the horizon, acting as a quiet focal point within the composition. The painting evokes a sense of stillness and companionship, with the figures absorbed in the calm atmosphere of the shoreline.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is reduced to simplified geometric forms and broad areas of colour. The artist prioritises shape, balance, and mood over fine detail, creating an image that feels both spontaneous and carefully structured.

    The palette is warm and harmonious, combining sunlit browns, sandy terracottas, soft creams, and cool blues. Deep olive greens and charcoal tones anchor the composition, while the expansive blue sea and sky introduce a sense of openness and light.

    Brushwork is confident with flat, deliberate applications of paint defining forms through blocks of colour rather than line. Visible brushstrokes add texture and vitality, while subtle shifts in tone create depth within the simplified landscape. The result is a striking balance between abstraction and representation, conveying the essence of a coastal moment with remarkable clarity.

    £715

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quietly evocative mid-century interior painting that captures a moment of stillness within a domestic space. executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition centres on a staircase landing with painted balustrades, illuminated by the soft glow of sunlight streaming through unseen windows. Reflections of the window panes dance across the wall, transforming an otherwise ordinary architectural setting into a contemplative study of light, shadow, and geometry.

    Executed in a restrained realist style with subtle modernist sensibilities, the painting demonstrates the fascination with everyday spaces and atmospheric mood. The artist has reduced the scene to a series of intersecting planes and angular forms, allowing the architecture itself to become the subject. The absence of figures heightens the sense of solitude and invites the viewer to inhabit the space imaginatively.

    The palette is beautifully muted, comprising smoky greys, warm taupes, deep umber browns, and soft sage-green tones. The luminous cream-coloured reflections from the windows provide a gentle focal point, contrasting with the darker vertical shadows that anchor the composition. These carefully balanced tones create a tranquil and introspective atmosphere.

    Brushwork is controlled and understated, with smooth, blended applications of paint that soften transitions between light and shadow. Delicate layering and subtle tonal gradations lend depth to the walls and architectural elements, while the balustrades are rendered with slightly firmer, more defined strokes. The overall surface possesses a calm, velvety quality that enhances the painting’s meditative character.

    Where the Sky Deepens

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and atmospheric large mid-century abstract landscape that distills the essence of an open horizon into a composition of luminous colour and subtle form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting evokes a vast expanse of land beneath an immense twilight sky, where a few distant structures or trees punctuate the horizon line, lending a quiet sense of scale and solitude.

    Rendered with remarkable restraint, the composition balances broad horizontal bands of colour that suggest fields, water, or mist-covered plains. The simplicity of the scene invites contemplation, allowing the viewer to become immersed in its meditative stillness and expansive sense of space.

    The palette is both bold and serene. Deep ultramarine and cobalt blues dominate the upper half of the canvas, creating a rich, velvety sky that contrasts beautifully with the luminous greens below. Layers of mint, jade, seafoam, and pale sage blend softly across the landscape, while subtle grey-green passages introduce depth and atmospheric perspective. The resulting effect is dreamlike and almost otherworldly.

    Brushwork is fluid and understated, with thinly applied paint and softly blended transitions that create a sense of movement without disrupting the painting’s calm equilibrium. Horizontal sweeps of the brush reinforce the expansive landscape format, while the few dark forms along the horizon are painted with looser, more gestural strokes that provide visual anchors within the composition.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intriguing and emotive mid-century figurative portrait that presents a solitary figure rendered in profile, her face reduced to essential forms and softened contours, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition balances intimacy and mystery, with the subject appearing suspended in quiet contemplation. Rather than pursuing realism, the artist distils the figure into broad planes of colour and shape, creating a deeply expressive and psychologically charged image.

    The painting displays strong influences of modernist and expressionist portraiture. The elongated profile, simplified facial features, and restrained detailing place emphasis on mood and presence rather than likeness. The figure emerges from an abstracted background, where space dissolves into textured fields of paint.

    The palette is beautifully subdued, dominated by earthy taupes, muted mauves, smoky greys, and deep charcoal tones. Rich burgundy and crimson accents in the garment provide warmth and visual weight, while subtle flashes of pale green and ivory animate the background.

    Brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Thick, painterly passages and visible impasto lend the surface a tactile quality, while loose, gestural strokes soften edges and allow forms to dissolve into one another. Scraped and layered paint textures reveal the artist’s process, contributing to the work’s raw emotional depth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame featuring a natural light wood outer moulding with a wide linen-covered inner mount. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some wear to the outer edges of the frame, commensurate with age.

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasant mid-century landscape painting that captures a tranquil parkland scene dominated by two majestic trees in the height of autumn, executed in oil onto board.

    Their leaves, rendered in rich ochres, burnt oranges, olive greens, and deep umbers, create a natural archway over a gently sloping lawn. A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through the composition, while distant foliage and open sky provide a sense of depth and quiet solitude. The scene celebrates the fleeting beauty of the changing seasons.

    Stylistically, the work reflects the expressive sensibilities of mid-century landscape painting, balancing observation with painterly interpretation. The composition is simplified into broad, harmonious forms, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise detail. The trees become almost sculptural masses of colour, lending the painting a strong sense of structure and presence.

    The palette is warm and earthy, centred around golden browns, rust reds, olive greens, and deep forest tones, all set against a clear blue sky. These contrasting hues create a luminous autumnal glow while maintaining a restrained and sophisticated colour harmony.

    Brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Layered, textured strokes build the dense foliage, while thinner, more gestural marks define the trunks and pathways. The surface reveals the artist’s hand, with visible brushstrokes and subtle variations in paint application contributing to the painting’s depth, movement, and tactile quality.

    The painting depicts a solitary female figure standing frontally against a simplified geometric backdrop. Her elongated neck, pale face, and slender hands lend the composition a quiet elegance, while the single red flower held delicately at her side introduces a note of tenderness and mystery. The figure’s direct gaze and still posture create an introspective mood, inviting the viewer to contemplate her inner world.

    Executed in a refined mid-century modernist semi-abstract style, the artist has reduced the figure to essential forms, favouring flat planes of colour and simplified anatomy over realism. The composition recalls the poetic restraint of European modernist portraiture, where emotional presence is conveyed through shape, colour, and balance rather than intricate detail.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, centred around warm dusty rose, terracotta, and deep cocoa-brown tones. The figure’s dress harmonises with the surrounding background, creating a subtle tonal unity, while her ivory-white skin provides striking contrast. The small crimson flower acts as a focal point, drawing the eye and adding a vivid accent to the otherwise muted composition.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with broad, even applications of paint that emphasise the painting’s flat decorative qualities. Subtle variations in texture and tone reveal the artist’s hand without disrupting the calm surface.

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

    Morning at the Window

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A expressive mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure standing beside an open window, absorbed in a moment of reflection, executed in oil onto board.

    Beyond the window, the simple geometry of a neighbouring house roof cuts against a pale blue sky, while within the room a potted geranium and draped linens lend warmth and domestic intimacy. The composition balances interior and exterior worlds, creating a contemplative atmosphere that feels personal.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist manner, the painting demonstrates the restrained sensibilities of mid-century art. Forms are simplified and gently abstracted, with the figure rendered through broad planes of colour rather than detailed modelling. The artist places emphasis on mood and structure, allowing light, shape, and spatial relationships to convey emotion.

    The palette is soft and muted, comprising dusty greens, pale greys, warm creams, and chalky whites, punctuated by the rich terracotta reds of the flowers and the deep brown roofline outside. Subtle passages of pale blue sky bring freshness to the composition, while delicate pink undertones soften the interior light.

    Brushwork is confident yet sensitive, with visible painterly strokes lending texture and movement across the surface. Layers of paint are applied loosely, creating an appealing interplay between solidity and atmosphere.

    This oil on board is presented in an attractive gilt frame with a wide linen-covered mount and an inner white slip. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Cubist Hillside

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking cubist-style modernist composition that captures a cluster of houses nestled beneath towering trees and radiant geometric hills, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1975.

    Painted in a vertically elongated format, the scene unfolds: guiding the eye upward from timber-framed cottages and red rooftops toward pale angular mountains and a glowing cream-coloured sun.

    Executed in a modernist style with cubist influences, the composition is built from fractured planes and intersecting triangular forms that give the landscape a rhythmic, architectural structure. The tall dark trees act as dramatic vertical anchors against the luminous pastel terrain, lending the work both serenity and monumentality.

    The palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft creams, pale peach, muted sage, dusty blue, and earthy browns contrasted against deep forest greens and near-black shadows. Areas of impasto and textured layering create a tactile surface, while expressive brushstrokes and scraped passages reveal an intuitive, painterly hand. The faceted hills and sky are rendered with angular sweeps of paint, adding movement and light throughout the composition.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Hills by the Sea

    Hills by the Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century modernist oil painting that captures a serene coastal escarpment overlooking calm blue waters, by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    Rounded clusters of deep green foliage cascade across the foreground and hillside, while muted brown paths and cliff faces gently guide the eye toward the distant horizon. The simplified forms and restrained composition give the work a meditative stillness, evoking the quiet rhythm of an isolated shoreline.

    Executed in a highly gestural modernist style, the painting balances abstraction with landscape representation. The artist reduces the scene into broad organic shapes and sweeping planes of colour, allowing atmosphere and structure to take precedence over fine detail. There is a subtle tension between the solidity of the landmass and the openness of the sea and sky, creating a beautifully understated composition.

    The palette is both earthy and calming, composed of rich forest greens, olive tones, muted sand, pale cream, and soft powder blues. The contrast between the cool expanse of water and the dense, shadowed greenery gives the work depth while maintaining its minimalist sensibility.

    Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and painterly, applied with visible texture and an instinctive rhythm. Thick curved strokes shape the foliage with a sculptural quality, while the sea and sky are rendered in smoother, flatter passages that heighten the sense of calm and spaciousness.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Olive Passage

    Olive Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This composition unfolds through sweeping gestures and layered passages of colour, balancing movement with spacious calm. Broad arcs of cream and white drift across fields of olive, sage, and muted khaki, while flashes of cobalt blue, burnt ochre, and deep black cut through the composition with energetic contrast. The painting carries a strong sense of rhythm and spontaneity, evoking shifting landscapes, weather patterns, or fragments of memory rather than a fixed subject.

    Executed in a gestural modernist style, the work embraces the expressive freedom associated with post-war abstraction. Thick impasto passages and palette-knife textures create a richly tactile surface, with paint applied in sweeping crescents, scraped layers, and heavily worked sections that reveal the artist’s process. The interplay between dense texture and open negative space gives the composition both tension and balance, allowing the eye to travel fluidly across the canvas.

    The colour palette is particularly refined – earthy olive and moss tones anchor the work, softened by warm ivory and cream, while vivid interruptions of blues and yellow introduce vitality and movement. The brushwork feels instinctive yet controlled, combining confident gestural sweeps with textured, almost sculptural applications of paint.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant champagne-toned timber frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • The Collector’s Room

    The Collector’s Room

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating mid-century modernist painting that depicts an imagined interior filled with paintings, framed works, and decorative forms arranged within a richly abstracted room, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition feels like an artist’s studio or collector’s salon, where artworks lean against walls and hang in layered succession, creating a maze of colour, shape, and visual conversation.

    Painted in a bold abstract-modernist style, the work reduces the interior into interlocking geometric forms and flattened planes of colour. Architectural structure and decorative detail merge together, giving the scene an almost dreamlike spatial quality while still clearly suggesting walls, frames, canvases, and displayed artworks.

    The palette is vibrant and expressive, dominated by vivid sky blues and warm burnt oranges, balanced with soft cream, deep black, plum purple, olive green, and flashes of yellow. These contrasting tones create both warmth and movement throughout the composition, while the lighter central forms draw the eye inward like illuminated canvases within the room.

    The brushwork is energetic and textural, with layered matte paint, gestural outlines, and visible directional strokes adding depth and rhythm to the surface. Loose scratch-like marks and painterly edges give the work a lively, spontaneous quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with a white inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some marks to inner white frame.

    A charming and highly evocative 1969 oil on board depicting a quiet urban street scene rendered in a delightfully naïve, expressive style. The composition draws the viewer down a gently winding road flanked by pastel-toned buildings in warm shades of peach, cream and terracotta, their simplified forms giving the scene a dreamlike quality.

    In the foreground, a solitary female figure in a striking red coat walks through the street, becoming an immediate focal point and adding a strong sense of narrative and human presence. Nearby, a bright red car echoes her coat, creating a pleasing visual rhythm across the painting. Bare winter trees and softly suggested architectural details hint at a northern European town, while the muted palette of pale greens, blues and greys lends the work a calm, atmospheric feel.

  • Whispering Canopy

    Whispering Canopy

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that depicts a tranquil setting centred around a narrow stream and a cluster of trees rising from soft green embankments, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.

    The composition carries a quiet, reflective mood, with the delicate branches dissolving into a hazy landscape beyond. Surrounding the upper branches is a luminous veil of light cream paint that softly suggests foliage or leaves emerging through mist, lending the scene a gentle seasonal transition and an almost dreamlike glow.

    Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting balances abstraction with landscape observation. The artist uses expressive, gestural brushwork and layered paint application, allowing forms to appear and disappear across the surface. Fine linear strokes defining the trees contrast beautifully with broader painterly passages and softly feathered areas of cream and green. Scraped-back textures and visible brush movement add depth and spontaneity to the composition.

    The palette is subtle and harmonious, featuring muted sage greens, pale creams, warm beige tones, and soft earthy greys. The creamy passages surrounding the branches evoke light filtering through sparse leaves or blossom, creating an airy softness against the more grounded green foreground. Altogether, the work possesses a calm, poetic quality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • The Last Pine

    The Last Pine

    Sold

    SOLD

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene alpine lakeside scene, where a solitary windswept pine stands against a vast expanse of calm blue water and distant snow-covered mountains, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition balances openness and quiet drama, with the lone tree acting as both focal point and anchor within the expansive natural setting. Dark rocky forms along the shoreline contrast beautifully against the crisp mountain ridge and luminous sky, giving the work a contemplative and almost cinematic atmosphere.

    Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting combines expressive brushwork with simplified forms typical of mid-century landscape painting. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest the rugged terrain and mountain contours, while softer blended passages in the sky create a sense of stillness and depth. The tree itself is rendered with elegant linearity, its sparse foliage painted in quick textured marks that lend movement and character.

    The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by cool tones of cerulean, deep lake blue, charcoal black, and snowy whites, offset by touches of earthy browns, moss green, and burnt sienna in the foreground vegetation. These warmer accents provide a subtle contrast to the crisp alpine backdrop and bring warmth to the composition.

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

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking modernist coastal landscape captures a harbour scene rendered through simplified architectural forms and broad planes of colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1971.

    Fishing boats rest calmly along the water’s edge, framed by buildings and sheds that sit beneath a pale, expansive sky. The composition balances structure and stillness beautifully, evoking the peaceful rhythm of a seaside port at rest.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting leans into geometric abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The buildings are reduced into angular blocks and softened silhouettes, giving the scene a calm atmosphere.

    The palette is wonderfully soft yet vibrant, featuring dusty coral pinks, muted lilacs, pale blues, teal greens, mustard tones, and deep navy accents. These colours reflect gently across the water, creating a serene interplay of light and shadow throughout the composition.

    Brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth layered applications of paint contrasted against sharper linear details in the masts, rooftops, and harbour edges. The flattened treatment of form and carefully balanced tonal areas lend the work a refined, contemplative quality characteristic of mid-century coastal modernism.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary frame with a linen-lined border and gilt inner trim. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has minor age-related wear.

  • Cubist Table Arrangement

    Cubist Table Arrangement

    Sold

    SOLD

    A calm and intriguing mid-century modernist still life painting that presents a carefully balanced arrangement of everyday forms – a loaf of bread, a ceramic vessel, a handled bowl of green fruit, and a series of stacked geometric planes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    The composition is constructed through overlapping blocks and angular shapes, creating an architectural sense of structure while still retaining the warmth and familiarity of a domestic tabletop scene.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style with Cubist influences, the work simplifies objects into flattened forms and intersecting planes, allowing colour and composition to take precedence over realism. The arrangement feels both orderly and dynamic, with strong verticals contrasting against the softer curves of the fruit bowl and pink vessel.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious, featuring warm creams, dusty pinks, olive greens, muted browns, and soft greys. These earthy tones give the painting a calm, contemplative atmosphere while the brighter green fruit introduces a gentle focal point within the composition.

    Brushwork is soft yet deliberate, with layered painterly surfaces and subtle tonal blending throughout the background. The geometric objects are rendered with firmer edges and controlled application of paint, while lighter, feathered strokes in the surrounding space lend the work an airy softness and understated depth.

    Tabletop Forms

    Sold

    SOLD

    A refined mid-century modernist still life composition depicting an arrangement of abstracted fruit forms on a tabletop and set against a softly illuminated background, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has reduced the objects into expressive, sculptural shapes, creating a composition that feels intimate in its restraint. Rendered in a subdued palette of charcoal, warm ivory, dusty blush, muted taupe, pale sage, and soft ochre, the painting possesses a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The tonal balance between the dark draped surface and the airy background gives the work a striking sense of depth while maintaining its minimalist aesthetic.

    The brushwork is confident and textural, with visible palette-knife application and thick impasto strokes adding movement and dimensionality across the surface.

    Snowlight

    Sold

    A large and gentle mid-century landscape that captures a serene winter hillside viewed through a stand of slender trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Nestled among the muted mauves and soft earth tones are small snow-covered cottages, partially hidden within the landscape and lending the scene a quiet, almost contemplative atmosphere. The composition draws the eye inward through the vertical rhythm of the pale tree trunks, creating depth and stillness against the distant rolling hills.

    Executed in a soft modernist style, the painting balances abstraction and representation with remarkable restraint. The palette is delicate and atmospheric, featuring powder blues, lavender greys, blush pinks, soft sage greens, and creamy whites that evoke the hush of winter light.

  • Autumn Path

    Autumn Path

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small yet impactful expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a winding country path weaving through rolling farmland and clustered trees in full seasonal colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A narrow stream or irrigation channel cuts through the composition, guiding the eye toward softly contoured hills and abstracted rural forms in the distance. The scene feels both pastoral and dreamlike, evoking the warmth and rhythm of the countryside through an imaginative, almost lyrical interpretation.

    Executed in a lively modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification and expressive colour over realism. The artist uses energetic, layered brushstrokes and thick areas of impasto to create movement and texture across the surface. Dappled applications of paint in the trees and foliage lend the painting a vibrant, mosaic-like quality, while gestural lines define the pathways, fences, and cultivated fields.

    The palette is rich and earthy, featuring warm browns, burnt orange, sienna, olive green, cobalt blue, cream, and touches of lavender and crimson. These contrasting tones create a striking sense of depth and seasonal atmosphere, balancing warmth with cooler passages of blue and white throughout the composition.

His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The painting captures a solitary figure wandering through a grove of expressive, windswept trees set against a bright sky.

    Garden Celebration

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming modernist figurative landscape painting that captures a leisurely outdoor gathering rendered abstractly with an almost dreamlike simplicity, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

    Small groups of figures drift through a soft green parkland, framed by loosely painted trees and two tables dressed in pale cloths, each topped with delicately decorated cakes. The scene feels both celebratory and intimate – a fleeting social moment distilled into colour, gesture, and atmosphere.

    Executed in a naïve modernist style, the composition embraces spontaneity and abstraction over fine detail. The figures are reduced to simplified silhouettes and expressive blocks of colour, allowing the painting’s mood and rhythm to take precedence. Thick, textural brushstrokes give the work a tactile quality, with heavily layered whites and soft blush pinks contrasting beautifully against lively greens, deep blacks, and accents of crimson, violet, and sky blue.

    The palette is airy and optimistic, dominated by fresh spring greens and creamy whites that evoke sunlight filtering across an open lawn. Loose, energetic mark-making throughout the trees and garments creates movement and visual playfulness, while the intentionally sparse background lends the work a quiet poetic openness.

    A tranquil and subdued mid-century landscape painting that captures an atmospheric wetland scene, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this painting, slender reeds rise delicately from a mist-covered foreground and distant trees emerge softly through a veil of fog. The composition feels wonderfully restrained and contemplative, balancing open space with bold dark landforms that drift horizontally across the canvas like quiet islands in thawing winter waters.

    Executed in a gestural modernist style, the painting relies on mood and suggestion rather than strict detail. A muted palette of soft sage green, smoky grey, ivory and deep charcoal creates a beautifully subdued harmony, while hints of earthy browns in the reeds add warmth and vertical movement to the composition. The brushwork is fluid and expressive throughout  – broad sweeping strokes soften the landscape into abstraction, contrasted by fine linear marks that give the reeds an elegant calligraphic quality. The result is a painting that feels both tranquil and dynamic, with an almost poetic sense of stillness and atmosphere.

    The Little Readers

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century figurative painting that depicts two seated children captured in a quiet, introspective moment, executed in oil onto board.

    Positioned side by side, the pair are rendered with simplified features and slightly elongated forms, creating a tender sense of stillness and emotional connection. One child gently holds an open book across their lap, while the other sits patiently nearby, their expressions subdued and thoughtful.

    Painted in an expressive modernist style, the composition leans into mood and character rather than realism. The artist uses soft distortions, minimal facial detailing, and loose outlines to evoke innocence and vulnerability. The muted palette of smoky greys, earthy browns, charcoal tones, dusty rose, olive green and touches of brown contributes to the painting’s gentle, nostalgic atmosphere.

    The brushwork is textured and gestural, with layered strokes and areas of dry-brushed paint adding depth and movement across the surface. The children’s clothing is suggested through confident, painterly marks, while the softly blended background allows the figures to quietly emerge from the composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame with a softly textured silvered finish that beautifully complements the muted tones of the artwork The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight paint losses, but this is consistent with age and does not detract from its overall appearance.

  • Citrus Arrangement

    Citrus Arrangement

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and lively mid-century still life that balances structure with spontaneity, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition gathers a cluster of oranges or orange flowers in a glass, a sculptural pedestal bowl filled with citrus, and scattered fruit arranged across a vivid, almost stage-like tabletop. The setting feels both intimate and constructed -blocks of deep teal, cobalt, and forest green rise behind the objects, suggesting an interior space distilled into geometric planes.

    The style leans toward modernist abstraction, where forms are simplified yet expressive. Outlines are confidently drawn, giving each object a bold presence, while perspective is intentionally flattened, allowing shapes and colours to interact more as a composition than a literal scene.

    Colour is central and striking: zesty oranges glow warmly against cool blues and greens, creating a vibrant push-and-pull across the canvas. Acidic lime tones and yellow highlights punctuate the foreground, adding freshness and rhythm. The palette feels both harmonious and energetic, with strong contrasts that keep the eye moving.

    Brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible, chalky strokes that lend texture and immediacy. Edges soften and dissolve in places, while elsewhere they are reinforced with darker contours, giving the piece a dynamic, almost sketch-like vitality. The overall effect is one of cheerful sophistication:a still life that feels animated, modern, and quietly bold.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Silent Companions

    £895

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quiet arresting mid-century modernist figurative 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.

    This composition presents two elongated female figures standing side by side, their presence both grounded and ethereal. The subjects are reduced to essential forms – tall, cloaked silhouettes with simplified faces – imbuing them with a sense of introspection and quiet detachment. They appear suspended within a flattened architectural space, where block-like shapes behind them suggest walls or structures without anchoring the scene to any specific place, enhancing the painting’s contemplative quality.

    Executed in a restrained, earthy palette, the work leans into deep umbers, warm browns, and soft taupes, punctuated subtly by a muted ochre accent that draws the eye without disrupting the overall harmony. The brushwork is deliberate yet understated – thinly layered with a matte finish – allowing the texture of the surface to gently come through. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the figures a quiet stillness, while the broad, flat application of paint reinforces the modernist sensibility of reduction and form.

    There is a poetic tension between presence and absence here: the figures are undeniably central, yet emotionally distant, inviting the viewer to project their own narrative. The overall effect is one of calm restraint and introspective beauty – an elegant example of mid-century abstraction meeting figuration in its most distilled form.

    This oil on canvas is present softly toned linen lined wood frame with a stepped, layered profile that creates gentle depth and guides the eye inward toward the composition. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cliffside Houses

    Cliffside Houses

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm mid-century painting that captures a row of coastal houses perched along a gently sloping bluff, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The angular rooftops of the homes step rhythmically across the incline as the land falls away toward a calm, uninterrupted band of sea on the horizon. There’s a quiet sense of stillness here – no figures, no movement – just the presence of these structures holding their place against the elements, evoking the calm solitude of a seaside village.

    Rendered in a modernist style with a subtle lean toward abstraction, the composition simplifies form while preserving a strong architectural narrative. The perspective feels slightly flattened, allowing the houses, hillside, and sky to merge into a cohesive, almost dreamlike plane. A restrained and harmonious palette anchors the scene: chalky whites and soft creams dominate the hillside and facades, offset by deeper blacks and browns in the rooftops, while a pale grey-blue sky creates a gentle, atmospheric backdrop. The sea introduces a cooler, more saturated blue, balanced by delicate touches of brown and faint peach that lend warmth and depth.

    The brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, painterly strokes shape the hillside with a textured, almost windswept quality, while the buildings are defined with more deliberate, slightly firmer gestures. Fine linear mark – suggesting fishing poles – bring a light, sketch-like energy that contrasts with the heavier, more tactile application of paint below, adding a sense of quiet movement within an otherwise serene composition.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Green Vessels & House Form

    Green Vessels & House Form

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist still life oil composition that balances domestic familiarity with a subtle sense of abstraction, painted by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, and the Landskrona Konsthall.

    At the centre, a pair of elongated green vessels: a bottle and a handled jug, stand side by side on a tabletop, their simplified silhouettes echoed by a stylised white house form rising behind them. A small red circular object rests in the foreground, offering a gentle focal contrast and anchoring the composition.

    The arrangement feels both intimate and architectural, with the tabletop and surrounding planes constructed in flattened, geometric blocks. There’s a careful interplay between interior and exterior elements – the house motif blurs the boundary between still life and landscape.

    The palette is restrained yet expressive: muted greens and teal tones dominate, softened by warm off-whites and earthy browns, with touches of terracotta and a single note of deep red adding warmth and rhythm. The colours are slightly desaturated, lending the work a calm, contemplative mood.

    Brushwork is deliberate and textural, with visible, layered strokes that give the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Edges are gently defined rather than sharply outlined, allowing forms to breathe within the composition. The paint handling suggests confidence and restraint, with subtle variations in tone and thickness bringing depth to otherwise simplified forms.

    Overall, this is a thoughtfully balanced piece that captures the essence of mid-century still life through its harmony of form, colour, and structure.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a charming, rustic wooden frame that has a gently distressed, whitewashed finish. The painting has some light craquelure due to the thickness of the paint, but it remains in very stable condition overall.

  • Valley Walk

    Valley Walk

    £615

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A joyful and expressive mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    This painting captures a gently winding path leading through a lush, sunlit valley, framed by softly rising mountains in the distance. Two loosely rendered figures stroll along the road, adding a quiet sense of human presence and narrative. Nestled among the greenery, vivid red houses punctuate the scene, their warmth contrasting beautifully against the cool blues of the sky and distant peaks.

    Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, the work embraces simplicity and spontaneity. The composition is outlined with confident, almost childlike black contour lines, giving structure while allowing the colour to remain playful and free. The palette is fresh and uplifting: soft blue skies, mint and sage greens, punctuated with dabs of lemon yellow, and coral.

    Brushstrokes are loose, textured, and instinctive, with areas of visible layering that create movement and energy across the surface. There is a lovely rhythm in the repetition of the trees and the undulating path, guiding the eye naturally through the composition. Overall, the piece evokes a sense of lightness and pastoral charm, capturing not just a place, but a feeling of ease and quiet joy.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful gilt frame that features a stepped, moulded profile with subtle ridging that draws the eye inward. The painting has small areas of craquelure present, including a minor area of slightly loose paint within the upper sky. The frame shows some scuffing consistent with age.

  • Weight of Warmth

    Weight of Warmth

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This abstract painting is anchored by a central, organic form that hovers between figuration and pure gesture. Suggestive of a standing presence, the shape emerges from a richly layered ground, inviting interpretation without resolving into a fixed identity. The composition feels both grounded and dynamic, as if capturing a fleeting moment of movement or emotional intensity.

    The style reflects the expressive confidence of mid-century abstraction, where the artist prioritises form, colour, and texture over literal representation. There is a palpable sense of spontaneity, balanced by a careful orchestration of space and mass.

    A bold palette dominates the canvas: deep vermilion and burnt sienna create a warm, immersive backdrop, while passages of mustard yellow and soft terracotta build the central form. A striking vertical of black introduces contrast and structural tension, offset by a lighter, almost chalky white that breaks through the composition and adds luminosity. Flecks of cobalt blue and hints of green peek through in places, lending vibrancy and subtle complexity.

    The brushwork is varied and tactile: thick, impasto applications sit alongside scraped and dragged passages, revealing layers beneath. Broad, gestural strokes convey immediacy, while areas of stippling and dry-brush texture add depth and rhythm. The surface carries a physical presence, with paint built up and worked back, embodying the artist’s process in every mark.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary frame with a brushed gold finish. The painting has some areas of craquelure, consistent with age, which remain stable and do not detract from the visual impact. The frame has light scuffing and minor areas of surface loss.

    Size: 83 x 58 cm (including frame)

    £1,180

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A richly layered and highly expressive landscape, this painting captures the untamed beauty of the natural world through a complex interplay of colour, texture and movement. Although abstracted in style, the composition evokes the familiarity of a wild valley or mountain pass, with sweeping forms suggesting rolling hills, winding paths and distant peaks beneath an expansive sky.

    Built up with multiple layers of paint, the surface is wonderfully textured and full of character. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of energy and depth, revealing subtle shifts in tone and gesture the longer you look. Dominant hues of deep reds, moss greens, ochres and earthy browns merge and overlap to create a warm, grounded palette that feels closely connected to the land itself.

    When caught by the light, brighter passages of pale blue, blush pink and soft cream emerge from within the composition, adding luminosity and contrast. These lighter notes bring a sense of atmosphere and openness, as though sunlight is breaking through clouds and illuminating sections of the landscape below.

    There is a compelling sense of both movement and structure in the work. Fluid, sweeping marks guide the eye through the scene, while the varied colours and textures create a layered terrain that feels rugged, organic and alive. The painting rewards close inspection, revealing new details and relationships with each viewing.

    Bold yet harmonious, this piece would bring warmth, depth and a strong connection to nature into an interior. It is an engaging and atmospheric work for anyone drawn to expressive landscapes and richly textured contemporary painting.

    This large painting is beautifully presented in a custom made white tray frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking.

  • Reclining Figure in Red

    Reclining Figure in Red

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The painting captures the essence of the human form through a language of bold reduction and tactile surface. A reclining figure emerges from the composition, its contours simplified into rounded, interlocking shapes that suggest the curve of a shoulder, the bend of a hip, and the quiet weight of a resting body. The figure feels both present and elusive – more sensed than precisely defined – inviting the viewer to complete the form through perception.

    The style is distinctly modernist, leaning into abstraction while retaining a strong figurative anchor. There is a confident balance between structure and spontaneity: broad planes of colour establish the composition, while energetic, almost impulsive marks disrupt and animate the surface. The artist’s hand is evident throughout, giving the work a raw, expressive immediacy.

    The palette is warm and striking, dominated by rich vermilion reds, burnt orange, and deep maroon tones that form a saturated backdrop. Against this, the figure is rendered in creamy, off-white hues, punctuated by flashes of cobalt blue and teal. These cooler accents create visual tension and rhythm, guiding the eye across the composition and adding depth to the otherwise flattened space.

    Brushwork is thick and textural, with areas of heavy impasto that catch the light and emphasise the physicality of the paint. Scraped passages and layered strokes contribute to a richly worked surface, where traces of earlier marks remain visible beneath. This layering gives the painting a sense of history and movement, as though the figure has been gradually revealed through successive gestures.

    Overall, the piece is a powerful study in form, colour, and material – intimate yet bold, gestural yet composed.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame that has a gently stepped profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffs.

  • To Gaze Upon Beauty

    To Gaze Upon Beauty

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed contemporary semi-abstract seascape composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.

    A simple yet deeply evocative seascape, this small abstract painting captures the enduring rhythm and quiet power of the sea. Set within a generous deep frame, the composition feels almost like a treasured coastal memory, something glimpsed through a window and held in suspension.

    Sweeping brushstrokes and layered tones of navy, slate blue, soft grey and sandy ochre suggest waves rolling and folding over one another beneath a luminous sky. The forms are pared back to their essentials, allowing the painting to communicate through movement, colour and atmosphere rather than precise detail. This simplicity is part of its charm; the scene feels immediately familiar, even if no specific location is defined.

    There is a striking balance between gentleness and strength. The pale upper section offers a sense of openness and calm, while the darker, more energetic marks below hint at the ocean’s underlying force. The result is a work that feels both soothing and dynamic, echoing the way the sea can be restorative and powerful at the same time.

    The deep frame gives the piece a sculptural presence, drawing the eye inward and lending the painting a sense of intimacy and focus. Modest in scale but rich in atmosphere, it is a quietly compelling work that would bring a touch of coastal serenity and contemporary elegance to any interior.

    The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made St Ives frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

  • The Quiet Whisper of Trees

    The Quiet Whisper of Trees

    £420

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a pared-back scene defined by restraint and atmosphere, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two slender trees rise gently from an open, muted expanse, their forms softened and slightly blurred as though caught in a passing breeze or remembered at a distance. Behind them, a low, undulating horizon stretches quietly across the composition, anchoring the scene with a subtle sense of depth.

    The artist has used a minimal, almost abstracted approach: foreground and background dissolve into one another through thin washes and softly layered tones. The palette is beautifully subdued, composed of warm taupes, soft greys, and pale stone hues, punctuated by a sweep of dark blue along the distant ridge. This restrained colour story enhances the painting’s calm, meditative quality.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with feathery, gestural strokes defining the foliage and more fluid, diluted applications across the ground. The surface reveals moments of transparency where the canvas breathes through, adding to the sense of lightness and quiet openness.

    This oil on canvas is present in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

  • Chasing After the Wind

    Chasing After the Wind

    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto board, by British artist Frances Daws.
    This evocative abstract seascape captures the raw energy and movement of a rugged coastline in shifting weather. Painted in layered tones of deep indigo, slate blue, charcoal and soft whites, the composition suggests waves surging and breaking over dark rocks beneath a vast, unsettled sky.

    Rather than describing the scene in literal detail, Frances distils the landscape into sweeping brushstrokes and expressive marks. Broad, gestural strokes create a sense of constant motion, as if wind and water are reshaping the shoreline before our eyes. The interplay of light and dark conveys the dramatic contrast between the foaming sea and the solid, enduring presence of the rocks.

    There is a wonderful sense of atmosphere in the painting. Pale creams and misty whites open up the sky, allowing light to filter through the clouds, while the rich blues and greys below evoke the weight and power of the ocean. The result is both dramatic and meditative, capturing that familiar coastal feeling where nature feels untamed, yet deeply calming.

    Though abstract in style, the work remains strongly connected to the natural world, inviting the viewer to imagine crashing waves, shifting weather and the rhythmic pulse of the sea. It is a piece that rewards repeated viewing, with new details and emotional nuances emerging over time.

    Elegant and atmospheric, this painting would bring a sense of depth, movement and tranquillity to any interior, making it an ideal choice for those drawn to coastal landscapes and expressive contemporary abstraction.

    The painting is beautifully presented in a custom made Trescoll slab frame, which allows you to see the edges of the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

    Cottages by Quiet Water

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle mid-century scene that unfolds along a modest shoreline, where a row of whitewashed cottages sits quietly beneath soft autumnal trees, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, three small wooden boats rest at ease on still water, their forms mirrored in loose, shimmering reflections. A pair of figures stand near the dock, adding a subtle narrative of companionship and scale to the composition.

    The style leans toward a restrained impressionism, with a focus on atmosphere over detail. Forms are simplified and slightly softened, allowing the overall harmony of the scene to take precedence. The palette is beautifully muted: creamy whites, dusty pinks, warm browns, and gentle blues – evoking a calm, almost nostalgic mood. The sky is handled with delicate tonal variation, suggesting the fading light of late afternoon or early evening.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unforced, applied with a light touch that gives the painting its airy quality. The water is rendered with loose, horizontal strokes, capturing reflection rather than precision, while the cottages and boats are built up with slightly thicker, more defined marks.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with a rich honey-toned finish, as well as an gilt and inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing.

  • Weight of Yellow

    Weight of Yellow

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling mid-century abstract composition that centres around a loosely defined vessel form, its presence suggested through layered gestures rather than strict delineation, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    The composition feels both grounded and fluid: anchored by a bold yellow mass in the lower centre, which evokes the solidity of a bowl or container, while surrounding shapes drift and dissolve into one another with a sense of quiet movement. Above, softened circular forms: one pale, one touched with a vivid yellow hint at light sources or distant suns, lending the work a subtle, atmospheric rhythm.

    The style is distinctly painterly and intuitive, characteristic of mid-century abstraction where form emerges through process. The artist embraces a balance between control and spontaneity, allowing the composition to unfold organically across the canvas. There is a sculptural quality to the arrangement, with layered planes and overlapping gestures creating depth without relying on perspective.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained yet expressive. Earthy browns, warm beige, and muted greys form the backbone of the piece, complemented by passages of soft, powdery blue and lifted by striking accents of saturated yellow. These brighter notes punctuate the composition, drawing the eye and energising the otherwise calm tonal field.

    Brushwork is confident and varied: broad, sweeping strokes sit alongside more deliberate, textured applications of paint. Areas of visible bristle marks reveal the artist’s hand, while thicker impasto sections add weight and tactility. Edges are often blurred or scraped back, suggesting revision and movement, and reinforcing the sense that the painting is as much about process as it is about form.

    This oil on canvas is present in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative mid-century interior scene that captures a solitary figure absorbed in reading, positioned beside a softly lit window, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The setting feels intimate and introspective – books are stacked and scattered across a desk and nearby surfaces. The figure’s posture, slightly bowed over the book, conveys a sense of stillness and focus.

    Rendered in a distinctly expressive, modernist style, the composition leans toward abstraction without losing its figurative anchor. The artist simplifies the figure’s facial features, allowing gesture and stance to carry emotional weight. There is a subtle tension between structure and looseness – forms are blocked in with confidence, yet edges dissolve and shift, lending the scene a fleeting quality.

    The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep charcoals, and mossy greens, punctuated by passages of pale blue and a warm, luminous yellow from the window light. This interplay of cool and warm tones creates depth and atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the glowing interior light source.

    Brushstrokes are tactile and deliberate: thick, painterly applications of oil give the surface a textured, almost sculptural quality. The handling is direct and unrefined in places, with visible strokes that trace the artist’s hand, reinforcing the immediacy and emotional sincerity of the work.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful champagne coloured wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Presence in Blue

    Presence in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century figurative interior that presents a poised, contemplative woman in blue, seated within a softly structured domestic space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The figure sits slightly angled yet grounded, her form simplified and solid, conveying both stillness and quiet introspection. To her side, a table holds a warm-toned ceramic vessel, anchoring the composition and balancing the human presence with an object of everyday life. The checkered floor beneath introduces a subtle rhythm, guiding the eye through the composition while reinforcing the interior setting.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward a restrained, semi-abstract figuration. The artist reduces the figure and surroundings into flattened planes and geometric blocks, prioritising mood and structure over detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully muted yet expressive -cool, dusty blues dominate the figure’s dress, contrasted with terracottas, and soft yellows in the background and still life elements. These tonal contrasts create a quiet dialogue between warmth and coolness, light and shadow.

    Brushstrokes are confident and painterly, applied in broad, visible sweeps that give the work texture and life. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, allowing forms to blend subtly into one another. The handling of paint feels intuitive and unforced, with areas of thicker application adding depth, particularly in the darker passages and along the patterned floor.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful wood frame with warm, natural wood grain and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and the frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cliffside by the Sea

    Cliffside by the Sea

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet coastal settlement perched along a pale, windswept cliff, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of modest houses with whitewashed walls topped with muted red and charcoal roofs rests gently against a backdrop of dense, dark green foliage. To the left, a sliver of calm turquoise sea meets a soft, expansive sky, creating a sense of openness and air. Sparse, linear elements – possibly masts or fishing lines – punctuate the scene, hinting at a working coastal life without disrupting its stillness.

    Executed in a restrained, modernist style, the composition leans into simplicity and atmosphere over detail. The artist has employed a subdued, harmonious palette: chalky creams and sandy beiges for the cliff, cool blue-greys for the sky, and deep greens to anchor the horizon. Accents of rust red and black add structure and rhythm across the rooftops and linear elements.

    Brushstrokes are confident and textural, applied with thick brush, giving the surface a tactile quality. The paint is layered in soft, angular planes, with visible strokes that suggest form rather than define it precisely. The result is a composition that feels both grounded and airy, capturing a fleeting moment of coastal quiet with elegance and restraint.

    This oil on canvas is present in a beautiful linen lined wood frame, with an inner cream border. The painting has small areas of craquelure visible on the left-hand side of the sky, otherwise it is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs.

    A moody and atmospheric mid-century painting that captures a quiet landscape the edge of twilight, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of darkened farm buildings with angular rooftops sit silhouetted against a low, glowing horizon. The land in the foreground feels scarce.

    The style is expressive, and form is simplified but atmosphere is deeply felt. The artist prioritises mood over detail, allowing the composition to breathe through shadow and contrast rather than precision.

    The colour palette is restrained yet powerful: deep charcoals, smoky greys, and earthy umbers dominate, punctuated by a striking band of warm yellow along the horizon. Subtle hints of burnt red and rust flicker through the foreground, adding depth and a quiet intensity.

    Brushwork is confident and textural, with visible, slightly impasto strokes that give the land a tactile, almost rugged quality. The buildings are rendered with looser, broader strokes, allowing their silhouettes to emerge organically from the surrounding darkness. The sky is softly blended, creating a gentle transition that enhances the painting’s atmospheric tension.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant and well-suited linen lined wood frame with an inner gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.  Please note that there is just some glare in the photos – there is no fading to any of the colours in the painting.

  • Sunlit Terraces

    Sunlit Terraces

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming painting that captures a clustered arrangement of buildings, their rooftops stepping gently across the composition in a rhythmic, almost conversational way, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974.

    Balconies, chimneys, and terraces overlap in a layered architectural tapestry, while a softly rendered tree in the foreground adds a sense of life and movement. The scene feels intimate and still, suggestive of a warm afternoon where time slows and light lingers.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work leans toward a stylised realism with subtle abstraction. Forms are simplified and slightly geometric, yet retain enough detail to anchor the scene in familiarity. The perspective is intentionally flattened, allowing the buildings to stack decoratively rather than recede deeply into space, giving the composition a pleasing, almost tapestry-like quality.

    The colour palette is warm and sun-drenched, dominated by terracotta oranges, sandy beiges, and soft creams, contrasted with muted greys and a cool, textured sky. Pops of turquoise and green in the windows and foliage provide freshness and balance, enlivening the otherwise earthy tones.

    Brushstrokes are confident and visible, with a slightly dry, textured application that allows the canvas to breathe through in places. Edges are softly defined rather than sharply outlined, lending the piece a gentle, atmospheric cohesion. The handling of paint – particularly in the sky and foliage – creates a subtle vibrancy, as if the entire scene is lightly shimmering under the sun.

  • Red Cabin by the Shore

    Red Cabin by the Shore

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and expressive mid-century coastal landscape captures a serene moment along a gently sloping shoreline, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A cluster of simplified cottages, most notably a vivid red cabin, rests amid rolling green fields that descend toward a calm, expansive sea. Sparse verticals, likely masts, rise behind the houses, lending a subtle rhythm and structure to the composition. The horizon is soft and unobtrusive, allowing the land and architecture to take visual precedence while still evoking the openness of the coast.

    Executed in a loose, painterly style characteristic of mid-century modern landscapes, the work embraces a balance between abstraction and representation. Forms are reduced and slightly angular, with an emphasis on shape and colour over fine detail. The composition feels spontaneous yet considered, with confident placement of each element guiding the eye from the foreground slope to the distant water.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting – cool turquoise blues for the sky and sea contrast beautifully with the varied greens of the land. Creamy whites of the cottages add lightness, while the red cabin provides a striking focal point, anchoring the scene with warmth. Earthy undertones and soft ochres near the shoreline suggest sand and sunlit ground.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and assured, applied with a certain immediacy. Broad, sweeping strokes define the landscape, while shorter, more deliberate marks articulate the buildings and foliage. There is a tactile quality to the paint surface, with visible layering that enhances depth and movement without overworking the scene.

    Overall, the painting exudes a quiet, contemplative charm: an intimate glimpse of coastal life rendered with warmth, simplicity, and painterly confidence.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a wood frame with a wide linen border, and an inner gilt and cream slip. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition, and the inner gilt slip on the frame shows some areas of loss and scuffing, consistent with age.

  • Two at Play

    Two at Play

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This charming painting captures a quiet, intimate moment between two children, absorbed in a shared task. One stands steady while the other bends slightly forward, both focused on lifting or holding a soft, ambiguous form between them – perhaps a cushion, or an object of play. Their faceless forms heighten the universality of the scene, allowing the viewer to project their own memories of childhood connection and curiosity.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition is pared back to essential shapes and gestures. The figures are outlined through simplified silhouettes, with an intentional absence of facial detail that shifts emphasis to posture and interaction. The background dissolves into abstract patches of colour, suggesting an environment rather than defining it – echoing influences of mid-century European modernism with a playful, almost childlike sensibility.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by soft greens, turquoise blues, and warm earthy tones. The contrast between the cool, airy background and the warmer clothing of the figures creates a gentle visual rhythm. Subtle, irregular streaks and patches of colour are scattered across the surface, adding movement and a sense of spontaneity.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet unrefined, applied in flat, matte blocks with visible texture from the canvas beneath. There is a rawness to the application – edges are imperfect, transitions are abrupt – which lends the piece its authenticity and expressive charm. The painting feels both deliberate and instinctive, embodying the spirit of mid-century abstraction where form, colour, and emotion take precedence over realism.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there are some marks present on the surface of the painting. There is also a very small dent to the top right edge, along with scuffing to the frame.

    Size: 83 x 63 cm (including frame)

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    This striking painting presents two simplified human forms suspended in a quiet, intimate exchange. One figure stands in soft green clothing, loosely holding a cluster of yellow flowers, while the other sits nearby, turned toward them in a moment that feels conversational. Their faces are intentionally undefined, reduced to smooth, pale planes.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces abstraction through flattened forms, pared-back anatomy, and a near-collage approach to composition. The figures are constructed with bold, interlocking shapes, their outlines subtly broken and reassembled with gestural marks that lend a sense of movement and quiet fragmentation.

    The palette is dominated by layered greens – ranging from mint and sage to deeper teal – punctuated by fresh accents of lemon yellow, sky blue, and hints of charcoal and white. These colours create a luminous, almost sunlit atmosphere, evoking nature without depicting it literally.

    Brushwork is confident: broad, matte planes of colour are interrupted by swift, expressive strokes and linear marks that cut across the surface. These gestural accents introduce rhythm and spontaneity, softening the otherwise graphic structure and adding depth to the composition.

    Altogether, the piece captures a fleeting human connection – poised somewhere between stillness and conversation.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There are some light marks to the painting, most notably near the face of the figure on the right. The frame shows minor scuffing consistent with age.

  • Abstracted Presence

    Abstracted Presence

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The painting presents a loosely defined human form, distilled into bold, expressive shapes. The figure emerges through a careful balance of abstraction and suggestion – its head and torso implied through layered blocks rather than precise lines, inviting the viewer to interpret posture and presence rather than fixed identity.

    The composition is anchored by a warm, radiant palette. Rich browns and golden yellows dominate the background, evoking warmth and light, while deep charcoal and inky black forms carve out the silhouette. Soft passages of cream and off-white sweep across the figure, creating contrast and a sense of movement. A muted blush and earthy rose tone subtly punctuate the composition, adding depth and a quiet emotional resonance.

    The brushwork is confident and gestural, with visible strokes that vary from broad, matte swathes to more textured, layered applications. Some areas reveal dry-brush techniques, allowing the underlayers to breathe through, while others are more densely applied, giving weight and structure. The interplay between rough and refined surfaces enhances the tactile quality of the piece.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a frame that features a slim profile with a soft, brushed gold finish. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are some scuffs to the corners of the frame.

  • Still Life with Blue Chair

    Still Life with Blue Chair

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking still life composition that centres on a blue wooden chair rendered with bold clarity, its angular structure anchoring the scene, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    Resting on the seat are three rounded green fruits, their placement both casual and deliberate. Behind, a partially opened window shutter introduces a sense of space and atmosphere, suggesting filtered daylight entering an otherwise enclosed interior.

    Executed in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and strong outlines. Perspective is intentionally flattened, lending the composition a decorative, almost architectural quality. The artist prioritises balance and rhythm over realism, allowing shapes and colour blocks to guide the eye.

    The colour palette is vibrant yet harmonious: dominated by saturated blues that define the chair and surrounding space, contrasted with lively greens and yellow undertones in the fruit and background. Accents of warm terracotta and muted mauve in the floor add depth and visual grounding.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Areas of layered paint and subtle tonal variation give the surface a tactile quality, while darker outlines enhance definition and structure. The result is a composition that feels both playful and composed, capturing a quiet, contemplative interior moment.

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

  • The Long Turn Home

    The Long Turn Home

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric and expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a solitary figure walking along a gently winding path bordered by a stand of tall dark trees, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the distance, low rolling hills dissolve into a hazy horizon beneath a softly shifting sky, lending the scene a contemplative, almost introspective mood. The lone figure, rendered with minimal detail, becomes a quiet focal point – suggesting themes of solitude, journey, and reflection.

    Stylistically, the painting leans toward an expressive, semi-abstract interpretation of the landscape. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise realism. The trees to the right are articulated with bold, vertical strokes, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the softer, diffused background.

    The colour palette is cool and restrained, dominated by layered greens, deep forest tones, and muted blue-greys. Subtle touches of pale sky blue and soft white break through the cloud cover, while earthy undertones ground the composition. Occasional dabs of lighter pigment across the foreground add texture and visual rhythm.

    Brushwork is confident and gestural throughout: broad, sweeping strokes shape the land and sky, while more assertive, almost calligraphic lines define the trees and path. The paint is applied with varying thickness, creating a tactile surface that enhances the painting’s immediacy and emotional depth.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a silver painted wood frame with an inner cream border. The painted surface shows areas of craquelure, most notably within the darker black passages, where the paint layer appears slightly fragile. Otherwise, it is in good vintage condition.

  • Figure in Constructed Room

    Figure in Constructed Room

    £1,085

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very striking mid-century modern composition that presents a pared-back interior scene distilled into bold geometry and quiet symbolism, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957 by the estalished Swedish artist Bertil Berntsson (1921-2002), whose works have been exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm, Ystad Art Museum, Malmö Museum, and the Helsingborg City Museum, to name a few.

    At the centre stands a simplified elongated female figure that has been rendered with minimal contour yet carrying a strong, sculptural presence. Beside her, a cylindrical vessel or drum-like form anchors the composition, its solidity contrasting with the openness of the surrounding space.

    The setting is constructed through intersecting planes and architectural lines, suggesting walls, windows, or partitions without fully resolving into a literal interior. This ambiguity lends the work a contemplative quality – where figure and object coexist in a suspended, silent dialogue.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modernist influences, drawing on elements of abstraction and cubist structure. Thick, deliberate black outlines define the forms, creating a graphic framework that flattens perspective while guiding the eye across the composition. The restrained palette features soft creams, muted greys, and a gentle teal-blue panel, balanced by deeper blacks and earthy browns. These colours are applied in broad, even fields, with subtle tonal shifts that add depth without disrupting the overall calm.

    The brushwork is confident, largely smooth and controlled, with occasional visible strokes and dry-brush textures that lend a tactile quality to the surface. The result is a harmonious interplay between line, form, and colour.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a simple wood frame that complements the earthy palette of the work. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Bottles in Blue Geometry

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined and thoughtfully composed mid-century still life composition in a cubist style that presents two elongated bottles set against a layered arrangement of abstracted forms, executed in oil onto board.

    The objects are simplified and slightly flattened, outlined with confident dark contours that give them a sculptural presence. Around them, angular planes and overlapping shapes create a quiet architectural backdrop, lending structure and balance to the composition while subtly shifting the sense of depth.

    Executed in a modernist style with cubist leanings, the work embraces reduction and clarity over realism. The interplay between object and space feels deliberate and contemplative, with negative space used just as thoughtfully as the painted forms themselves. There is a calm stillness to the arrangement, where everyday objects are elevated into a study of form, tone, and balance.

    The colour palette is harmoniously restrained, dominated by cool blues, soft aquas, and muted teal tones, punctuated by gentle off-whites and deeper navy accents. These hues create a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere, while subtle tonal variations add dimension without disrupting the overall serenity.

    This oil on board is presented in a elegant frame with a warm, muted gold tone finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Joyful Passage

    The Joyful Passage

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and animated mid century street scene composition, painted in oil in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The scene unfolds beneath a sweeping sky, where a cluster of buildings with striking red rooftops anchors the composition. In the foreground, a lively crowd moves in rhythmic procession: figures walking, conversing, and carrying bags – evoking the energy of a bustling moment. Tall, slender trees punctuate the scene, their sparse, expressive branches adding vertical tension against the horizontal flow of people and architecture.

    Executed in an expressive, naïve style with strong Fauvist influences, the painting embraces bold colour, simplified form, and an intuitive, energetic handling of paint. Figures are loosely defined with elongated limbs and minimal facial detail, giving precedence to movement and atmosphere over realism. The perspective is flattened, with elements stacked and layered in a playful, intuitive manner.

    The colour palette is bold and uplifting, dominated by sky blues, leafy greens, warm ochres, and vivid reds that draw the eye across the rooftops and through the crowd. These colours are applied with a sense of immediacy, often juxtaposed in unexpected yet harmonious combinations that enhance the painting’s joyful, almost celebratory tone.

    Brushstrokes are energetic and unrefined, with visible, gestural marks that bring a sense of motion and life to the composition. Outlines in darker tones loosely define forms, while dabs and sweeps of paint suggest figures and foliage with an expressive touch. The overall effect is one of warmth and vitality: a charming snapshot of everyday life rendered with personality and flair.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a warm-toned wood frame with a richly grained finish and an inner gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Where Houses Gather

    Where Houses Gather

    £825

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century composition that depicts a cluster of closely nestled houses as their angular rooftops form a rhythmic patchwork against a soft open sky, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Wilhelm Wik (1897-1987), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, to name a few.

    The scene appears gently elevated, allowing the viewer to look across the rooftops toward a calm, pale horizon. A small domed structure rises subtly among the buildings, adding a sense of place and quiet architectural character.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting embraces simplified forms and flattened perspective. The houses are reduced to bold geometric shapes, outlined with confident, dark lines that lend structure and clarity to the composition. There is a deliberate absence of fine detail, allowing the interplay of shape and colour to take centre stage.

    The colour palette is warm yet restrained: soft creams and sandy tones form the buildings, while pops of terracotta and burnt orange on the rooftops introduce gentle contrast. These are balanced by deep, expressive greens in the foreground foliage, painted in loose, gestural strokes that bring movement and texture to the lower edge of the scene. The sky is rendered in a calm, neutral wash, enhancing the overall sense of stillness and light.

    Brushwork varies across the surface: the architecture is treated with flatter, more controlled applications of paint, while the greenery is handled with thicker, more fluid strokes, creating a pleasing tension between order and spontaneity.

    This oil on board is presented in a characterful wooden frame which features a rustic wood finish with visible grain and a stepped gilt inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some paint loss to the gilded section of the frame, consistent with age, however this does not detract from its overall appearance or charm.

  • A Gentle Path

    A Gentle Path

    Sold

    SOLD

    A gentle and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a winding path as it cuts through softly rolling fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Small yet impactful, the composition is calm and inviting, with the path acting as a quiet guide through the scene, drawing the eye into a softly rendered horizon.

    The trees, though delicately understated, are rendered in a hazy, atmospheric manner that allows their forms to dissolve slightly into the surrounding landscape. This subtle treatment gives the impression of early morning mist or diffused evening light, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood.

    Executed in a semi-impressionistic style, the artist balances structure with looseness. The foreground is built with expressive, textured brushstrokes that suggest grasses and earth, while the midground and background soften into more blended, almost dreamlike passages. This contrast creates a gentle depth without disrupting the overall stillness.

    The palette is muted and harmonious, featuring soft greens, mossy undertones, warm ochres, and pale neutrals, with cooler grey-blues subtly woven throughout. The sky is light and diffused, lending a quiet luminosity that bathes the landscape in a gentle glow.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a simple yet elegant silver-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

    £465

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a hushed forest scene at nightfall, where fading light settles softly over a quiet woodland, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a gently defined and inviting path emerges, guiding the eye inward and creating a subtle sense of movement through the stillness.

    Rendered in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist distils the forest into softened bands and gestural marks. Trees are suggested rather than defined, dissolving into the surrounding atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elusive, with the path offering structure amid the increasingly shadowed landscape.

    The colour palette leans into cool, moody tones: muted greens, deepened aquas, smoky greys, and chalky whites – layered to evoke the last traces of light filtering through the trees. Darker, almost inky accents anchor the composition, hinting at tree trunks and the quiet density of the forest as it recedes into shadow.

    Brushwork is expressive yet measured. Broad, horizontal strokes shape the landscape and the path, while thicker, textured applications of paint add weight and tactility in the foreground. More translucent layers in the background soften the scene, allowing forms to blur gently into one another, enhancing the twilight atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a refined, light-toned wood frame featuring a gently stepped profile and a contrasting black inset which creates a striking visual border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Harbour Stillness

    Harbour Stillness

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century painting that captures a quiet harbour scene where two small sailboats rest gently on calm, reflective waters, painted in oil onto board in 1942 by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    The composition is pared back and contemplative: boats sit low in the foreground, their slender masts rising vertically and echoed in the soft, rippling reflections below. Beyond them, a simplified shoreline unfolds in horizontal bands, punctuated by a small white structure and subtle architectural hints, evoking a sunlit coastal setting at rest.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction with a strong emphasis on form reduction and spatial harmony. Perspective is flattened, and depth is suggested through layered planes rather than strict realism. The artist has embraced a minimalist approach, allowing negative space and quiet geometry to guide the eye.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained and harmonious:soft blues, muted aquas, sandy browns, and warm creams dominate the scene. These tones gently contrast and blend, creating a tranquil, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The water mirrors these hues with delicate variations, enhancing the sense of stillness.

    Brushstrokes are loose yet intentional, with visible, confident applications of paint. The surface shows subtle texture, particularly in the water and sky, where strokes move fluidly and horizontally. Edges are softened and forms are simplified, giving the work an airy, lyrical quality.

    This oil on board is presented in an elegant wood frame with a warm, brushed gold and silver finish, and a gently stepped profile with subtle ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Quiet Mooring

    Quiet Mooring

    Sold

    SOLD

    A calm mid-century coastal painting that captures a tranquil moment along the sunlit shores of Spain’s Costa Brava, executed in oil onto board and dated 1958.

    At its centre rests a modest wooden boat, gently anchored in still, shallow waters, its form simplified yet full of quiet presence. The surrounding landscape is reduced to broad planes—suggesting sand, sea, and distant shoreline – imbuing the scene with a sense of calm, timeless pause.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition leans into minimalism and balance. Perspective is subtly flattened, with forms outlined softly rather than defined through strict realism, allowing the viewer to focus on mood over detail. There is a quiet intimacy to the piece, as though capturing a fleeting, solitary moment by the coast.

    The colour palette is warm and harmonious: muted tan, sandy beiges, and soft terracotta tones dominate the boat, while gentle and pale blues evoke the Mediterranean waters and sky. These tones are slightly desaturated, lending the work a sun-faded, nostalgic quality.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive yet controlled, with visible texture adding depth without overwhelming the simplicity of the composition. The paint is applied in soft, layered passages, allowing subtle tonal variations to emerge and giving the surface a quietly tactile quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame that is finished in a warm, muted gold tone with soft patina, it carries a slightly aged character that enhances the painting’s nostalgic feel. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Rhythm of Facades

    Rhythm of Facades

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid-century painting that presents a tightly composed arrangement of house facades that has been reduced to a sequence of interlocking geometric forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1952.

    Angular rooftops, window blocks, and simplified architectural planes sit side by side, creating a dense, almost puzzle-like composition. A darker vertical element – suggestive of a tower or chimney – rises subtly in the background, adding contrast and anchoring the structure without disrupting its abstraction.

    Executed in a modernist style with clear cubist influences, the work prioritises shape and structure over traditional perspective. Depth is flattened, and space is conveyed through overlapping planes rather than illusionistic distance. The facades are treated as rhythmic units, each one contributing to a cohesive, grid-like harmony.

    The palette is restrained yet expressive. Soft whites, warm neutrals, and charcoal tones form the foundation, punctuated by bold accents of cobalt blue and deep red. These colour blocks introduce movement and visual tension, guiding the eye across the composition while maintaining overall balance.

    Brushwork is confident and tactile, with visible strokes lending subtle texture to the otherwise flat fields of colour. Slight variations in paint density and edge definition soften the geometry just enough to keep the piece feeling painterly rather than rigid.

    Overall, the painting offers a refined abstraction of architectural form: capturing the essence of house facades through a balanced interplay of colour, structure, and mid-century modern sensibility.

    This oil on board is presented in a light-toned wooden frame with a softly textured finish, and with subtle ridges that add depth without overwhelming the composition. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light cracks present, consistent with age.

  • Alligator

    Alligator

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents an alligator in profile, moving steadily across a simplified, earthy landscape. Set against a soft, pale blue sky, the elongated form stretches across the board, its open mouth revealing a subtle flash of teeth, adding a quiet sense of movement and character.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The alligator is defined by clean outlines and slightly exaggerated proportions, with depth suggested through horizontal bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

    The palette is muted and natural. Deep green tones of the alligator contrast gently with the warm sandy browns of the terrain landscape, while the pale sky provides a calm, airy backdrop. Small accents of pale pink within the mouth add a touch of visual interest.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that emphasises form over texture. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, capturing the quiet charm of the naïve aesthetic with a grounded, understated presence.

    This oil on board is housed in a warm brown painted wooden frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents a leopard in profile, moving gently across a simplified landscape. Set against a muted grey sky with faint, stylised clouds, the figure strides along a deep green ground, evoking a calm and contemplative mood.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The leopard is defined by clean outlines and slightly exaggerated proportions, while depth is suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

    The palette is warm and harmonious. Golden yellows and soft creams of the leopard’s coat are punctuated by rhythmic black spots, set against the cool grey background and deep green foreground for gentle contrast.

  • Gentle Elephant

    Gentle Elephant

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents a solitary elephant in profile, standing quietly within a softly rolling landscape. Set against a pale, muted sky, the figure rests upon gentle green hills, evoking a calm and grounded presence.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The elephant is defined by clean outlines and slightly softened proportions, with depth suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

    The palette is subtle and harmonious. Cool grey tones of the elephant’s body are set against soft green hues of the hills, creating a gentle contrast. A small accent of soft pink at the mouth adds a quiet point of warmth.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that emphasises form over texture. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, capturing the quiet charm of the naïve aesthetic with a serene, contemplative presence.

    This oil on board is housed in a black painted ridged wooden frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Watchful Tiger

    Watchful Tiger

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents a tiger in profile, captured mid-step as it moves across a simplified landscape. Set against a soft grey sky and grounded by a muted green foreground, the figure carries a quiet sense of motion and watchful presence.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The tiger is defined by clean outlines and gently exaggerated proportions, with depth suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and narrative charm.

    The palette is warm and balanced. Rich burnt orange tones are interspersed with bold black stripes, complemented by soft cream underparts. These tones sit harmoniously against the cool grey background and green foreground, creating a pleasing contrast.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that emphasises form and pattern over texture. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, capturing the charm of the naïve aesthetic with a calm, confident presence.

    A charming contemporary naïve style painting, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents a lion in profile, standing calmly across a simplified landscape. Set against a soft grey sky with faint, stylised clouds, the figure rests upon a deep green ground, evoking a sense of stillness and quiet authority.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. The lion is defined by clean outlines and gently exaggerated proportions, with depth suggested through simple bands of colour, enhancing its graphic clarity and appeal.

    The palette is warm and restrained. Soft sandy tones of the lion’s body are complemented by a rich, dark mane, set against the cool grey background and deep green foreground for balanced contrast.

  • Geometric Collage in Blues

    Geometric Collage in Blues

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the heart of the artwork is a carefully balanced four-part composition, divided into squares, each containing a small vertical pairing of rectangular blocks. These central forms: composed of soft off-white, deep indigo, slate grey, and muted charcoal – echo one another subtly across the surface, creating a quiet rhythm and sense of repetition. The woven textures of the salvaged book cloth are beautifully visible within each element, offering gentle variation and tactility against the broader fields of colour.

    The background is composed of softly shifting panels of various blues, each section bearing the marks of time through delicate abrasions, faint horizontal striations, and areas of tonal wear. Vertical and horizontal seams subtly divide the surface, reinforcing the constructed, assemblage nature of the work while adding depth and structure.

    The composition feels contemplative and architectural: where repetition, balance, and materiality come together in a restrained yet deeply textural expression. There is a quiet dialogue between the squares, each echoing the other while retaining its own subtle tonal identity.

    The artwork is presented in a warm-toned solid wood float frame with a rich grain that complements the cooler hues of the piece. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

  • Circle of Light

    Circle of Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    An endearing and uplifting mid-century figurative landscape that captures a moment of shared presence, as a group of simplified figures stand hand-in-hand and appear to be dancing in a circular formation, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre, a vivid burst of yellow – suggestive of sheaves of wheat or a glowing harvest bundle – anchors the composition, radiating warmth. Above, small birds in flight animate the sky, adding a sense of movement and freedom.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist, almost naïve style, the figures are intentionally reduced to essential forms. The colour palette is bold and expressive: saturated yellows and greens dominate the foreground, conveying warmth and vitality, while deep blues and teals in the sky and garments provide a cooling counterbalance. Subtle pink tones for the faces introduce a human softness, gently breaking the graphic simplicity.

    Brushwork is loose and confident, with visible, sweeping strokes that give the painting a tactile, almost rhythmic quality. The layering of paint – particularly in the sky and fields – adds depth and movement, while the central yellow form is applied more thickly, enhancing its visual prominence.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary warm, natural wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    This Dave Boyd work is a refined meditation on balance, material memory, and geometry, crafted from objects that once held stories, now transformed into something more abstract and contemplative.

    In it we have a vertical alignment of four softly rendered circles anchors the piece, each one subtly distinct in tone. hey sit in perfect balance, like a totemic sequence or visual rhythm, guiding the eye gently downward.

    The background is richly textured. Faded ochres, worn browns, and chalky whites create a weathered, timeworn surface. Horizontal marks and abrasions hint at handling, storage, and history. A visible seam across the middle quietly reveals its constructed, layered origin.

    You can almost feel the past life of the materials which have been handled, read, discarded, and reimagined.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Geometric Collage in Dark Brown

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre is a compact vertical block of four rectangles, arranged in a tight grid. The arrangement feels deliberate and balanced, like a coded visual fragment.

    The surface surrounding this central form is rich with the history of its previous life. Dark, charcoal-toned book covers dominate the background, with horizontal scuffs, striations, and fading that reveal years of handling and wear. A visible seam across the middle hints at the joining of separate covers, reinforcing the idea of reconstruction.

    The binding cloth used in the coloured rectangles subtly contrasts with the rougher ground. The crisp geometry of the central block stands in tension with the imperfect, weathered field.

    Boyd distills their physical essence into a minimal composition that speaks of time, use, and renewal—less about what was written, and more about what remains.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original artwork by contemporary British artist Dave Boyd, which has been constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards), and mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the centre sits a small vertical grid of coloured squares, arranged in a neat, almost architectural column. Each block (muted red, ochre, green, teal, grey, and off-white) carefully chosen, like a restrained palette study. Its symmetry contrasts with the more irregular, weathered background.

    The surrounding field is a rich, earthy expanse, layered with horizontal marks, striations, and subtle tonal shifts. There’s a tension between precision (the grid) and imperfection (the background).

    Colour, material, and space are reduced to essentials. It invites slow looking, rewarding attention with subtle shifts in tone and texture rather than bold statements.

  • The Red Table

    The Red Table

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intimate mid-century interior painting that captures a quiet domestic moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The interior is centred on a small, round table draped in a vivid red cloth, paired with a slender blue chair. The setting is intimate and pared back, with a turquoise door to the left introducing depth and structure, while a small, minimally rendered painting hangs on the wall behind. A simple vase of flowers and a small vessel rest atop the table, suggesting a moment of pause, as if the space has just been left or is waiting to be occupied.

    Rendered in a mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplified forms and flattened perspective. The artist has distilled the interior into essential geometric shapes and colour blocks, creating a balance between representation and abstraction. There is a strong decorative sensibility at play, with careful attention to spatial relationships and visual rhythm rather than strict realism.

    The palette is warm yet strikingly balanced. The deep red of the tablecloth anchors the composition, contrasted beautifully by the cool turquoise of the door and the soft blue of the chair. Earthy brown tones in the floor add warmth, while the walls are painted in muted creams and gentle lilacs, lending a soft, atmospheric backdrop.

    The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible, painterly strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Broader strokes define the walls and floor, while slightly more controlled applications shape the furniture and objects. Edges are softened rather than sharply delineated, enhancing the painting’s calm, contemplative mood.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a charming wooden frame with multiple profiles, finished in warm, layered tones that beautifully complement the palette of the painting. The painting is in good condition overall – there is some craquelure present that is consistent with age, however the paint layer is in stable and does not detract from the overall appearance of the work.

  • Agnes

    Agnes

    £625

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A thoughtful mid-century figurative portrait that captures a female figure in a moment of inward reflection,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Positioned slightly off-centre, she gazes softly away from the viewer, her expression calm yet contemplative. There is a sense of emotional distance – she feels present, but absorbed in her own interior world. The simplicity of her attire and the absence of narrative detail draw attention to her face and psychological presence, making the portrait feel intimate and introspective rather than formal.

    Executed in a loose, painterly mid-century style, the work leans toward modernist portraiture with subtle expressionist undertones. The artist prioritises mood and character over strict realism, allowing forms to soften and dissolve at the edges. There’s a gentle flattening of space, with the background treated as an atmospheric field rather than a defined setting, enhancing the subject’s quiet isolation.

    A muted, harmonious palette dominates the composition – soft sage greens, warm beiges, and gentle creams create a subdued backdrop. The skin tones are delicately layered with hints of pink and grey, lending the face a lived-in softness. A subtle red accent along the neckline introduces a quiet point of contrast, drawing the eye without disrupting the overall calm.

    The brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible, layered strokes that give the surface a tactile quality. The face is built up with short, blended strokes, creating a soft modelling of light and form, while the background is more gestural, with broader, sweeping applications of paint. This contrast between controlled and freer brushwork adds depth and reinforces the emotional tone – grounded yet quietly unsettled.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary silver frame. The painting has some small areas of surface paint loss as shown in the photos. The frame has some minor losses and scuffs but is very stable overall.

  • Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion

    Tidal Forms: A Study in Motion

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet captivating mid-century abstract triptych that evokes the quiet power and rhythm of water in motion, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Across the three panels, fluid, sculptural forms emerge and dissolve – suggesting cresting waves, shifting currents, or even fleeting natural phenomena captured mid-transformation. Each composition feels both connected and self-contained, inviting the viewer to move from one moment of motion to the next.

    Rendered in a restrained, atmospheric palette of soft greys, silvery whites, and muted blue undertones, the works exude a sense of calm and introspection. Subtle tonal gradations in the background create depth and horizon-like expanses, while the central forms introduce tension and movement.

    The artist’s use of thick, impasto brushwork is particularly compelling – paint is applied with a tactile, almost sculptural quality, creating ridges and folds that catch the light. These gestural strokes give the impression of energy frozen in time, with each mark feeling deliberate yet instinctive. The contrast between the smooth, blended grounds and the dynamic, textural forms enhances the sense of movement across the series.

    Together, the three paintings form a cohesive visual narrative – an exploration of flow, balance, and the ephemeral beauty of natural forces – making this a captivating and contemplative set that rewards close viewing.

    These 3 oils are each housed in a  complementary silver painted wood frame. The paintings are in excellent vintage condition, and the frames have some light scuffing present.

    Elephant

    £465

    A striking 20th-century elephant in bronze, distilled down to its most essential shape and volume.

    The bronze has a rich, dark patina with subtle variations of warm browns, deeper oxidised tones, and faint highlights where light catches the curved surfaces. The finish is softly polished but retains slight irregularities, giving it a tactile, hand-worked presence.

    Despite its compact size, the sculpture feels monumental. Its low centre of gravity and broad stance anchor it firmly. The contrast between solid mass and open voids creates a dynamic balance: heavy yet airy, grounded yet fluid.

    The sculpture is in good vintage condition, with some light marks commensurate with its age. Please note that it is rather heavy.

  • A Gathering Across Planes

    A Gathering Across Planes

    £910

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking mid-century composition that presents a rhythmic display of abstracted figures moving through a fractured, almost mosaic-like landscape, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Gunnar Greiber (1919 – 2011), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet, Västerås Art Museum, Sundsvall Museum, Östersund Museum, Hudiksvall Museum, as well as the Hälsingland Museum.

    Slender, linear forms – rendered in vivid red- suggest human silhouettes, gathering across a dense field of angular shapes. These figures feel both primitive and modern, evoking a sense of movement and quiet connectivity within an otherwise chaotic environment.

    Stylistically, the painting leans into mid-century abstraction with strong influences of cubism and figurative modernism. The scene is constructed from interlocking geometric planes, compressing depth and perspective into a flattened, dynamic surface. The figures are reduced to essential lines and nodes, almost symbolic in nature, contrasting sharply with the weightier, block-like forms that surround them.

    The colour palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds, burgundy, plum, and umber, interspersed with cooler passages of slate blue, charcoal, and muted lavender. Occasional accents of green and pale cream provide visual relief, while the recurring red linear figures create a unifying thread across the composition.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible texture throughout. Paint is applied in thick, deliberate patches, giving each geometric fragment a tactile presence. The interplay between matte and slightly more saturated passages enhances the sense of depth, despite the overall flattened structure. The result is a compelling balance between order and spontaneity – an intricate visual rhythm that invites the eye to wander and discover new relationships within the composition.

    This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant wood frame with a linen-lined outer border and an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 

    Size: 78 x 59 cm (including frame)

  • Old Town Reverie

    Old Town Reverie

    £475

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A contemplative and nostalgic 20th century street scene composition that captures a quiet yet animated urban square, where figures drift through a softened architectural landscape, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

    Tall, weathered buildings rise in layered formation, their facades dissolving into one another. In the foreground, loosely rendered figures – some in conversation, others moving independently – animate the space with a gentle rhythm, giving the composition a sense of everyday life observed from a distance.

    The style leans toward a semi-abstract impressionism, where structure and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The artist has employed a restrained palette of light yellows, muted creams, soft greys, and earthy browns, punctuated by occasional darker accents in the figures. These tones create a hazy, almost nostalgic ambiance, as if the scene is filtered through memory or mist.

    Brushwork is expressive and fluid, with vertical strokes elongating the buildings and lending them a sense of quiet monumentality. The figures are sketched with minimal, gestural marks – suggestive rather than defined – allowing the viewer to interpret their presence and movement. Areas of paint appear scraped back or layered thinly, adding texture and depth, while softer washes create an atmospheric, almost ethereal ground.

    Overall, the painting balances structure and abstraction beautifully, offering a poetic interpretation of urban life – less about a specific place, and more about the feeling of being within it.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame that features a gently stepped profile with soft ridging. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Autumn Reflections

    Autumn Reflections

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century landscape that captures a tranquil lakeside scene at the height of autumn, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender birch trees rise in the foreground, their pale trunks acting as a vertical counterpoint to the soft, undulating forms of cottages and foliage beyond. Across the still water, a cluster of rustic buildings with pitched roofs nestle into a hillside, partially obscured by sweeping, golden canopies of trees. The lake mirrors the scene with gentle distortion, drawing the eye into a quiet, reflective atmosphere.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the painting embraces painterly abstraction while retaining a strong sense of place. The artist has used confident, gestural brushstrokes – often thick and directional – to suggest form rather than define it precisely. Areas of impasto add texture, particularly in the foliage and along the water’s edge, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality.

    The colour palette is warm and harmonious, dominated by yellows, muted greens, and earthy browns, contrasted with cooler greys and soft blues in the water and sky. Subtle accents of red and deeper green punctuate the composition, adding depth and rhythm. The interplay of colour and reflection enhances the sense of calm, while the energetic handling of paint keeps the scene lively and immediate.

    Overall, the work beautifully balances structure and spontaneity – an intimate, atmospheric snapshot of nature interpreted through a distinctly mid-century modern lens.

    This oil on canvas is housed a characterful wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Between Presences

    Between Presences

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative 20th century figurative painting that captures three loosely rendered figures in what appears to be a quiet interior passageway, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1979.

    The central figure, seen from behind in a dark, almost silhouetted form, anchors the composition, while two lighter, more ethereal figures flank either side – one turned slightly inward, the other facing outward with a casual stance. The scene feels suspended in a moment of subtle interaction, where the narrative is implied rather than defined.

    Executed in a restrained, painterly style, the work leans toward abstraction while maintaining a strong figurative presence. The artist has used soft, diffused edges and minimal detailing, allowing the figures to emerge gently from the pale ground. There is a sense of spatial ambiguity, with faint architectural lines suggesting depth without fully committing to perspective – enhancing the introspective, almost dreamlike quality of the piece.

    The colour palette is understated and harmonious, dominated by cool greys, soft blues, and muted whites, with occasional warmer undertones in the faces and background. The central figure’s darker tones create a striking contrast, drawing the eye and grounding the composition.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with visible layering that give the surface a tactile quality. Areas of thinly applied paint sit alongside more gestural passages, contributing to the work’s atmospheric softness and quiet emotional resonance.

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

    The Open Door

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century interior composition that captures a quiet domestic moment, centred around a finely detailed console table set against a softly lit wall, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The arrangement is carefully balanced: a small bouquet of vivid red flowers, flanked by slender candlesticks, sits beneath a grouping of framed artworks and decorative plates, lending the scene a sense of order and intimacy.

    To the right, an open door becomes the focal point of the composition, revealing a glimpse of a lush garden bathed in natural light. This transition from interior stillness to exterior vitality creates a subtle narrative tension – inviting the viewer outward while anchoring them firmly within the calm of the room.

    Stylistically, the work leans toward a refined, almost Scandinavian minimalism, with clean lines, precise perspective, and a quiet emphasis on geometry and space. The composition is deliberate and measured, evoking a sense of harmony and restraint.

    The colour palette is soft and muted, dominated by warm neutrals – dusty mauves, pale creams, and gentle browns – contrasted by the fresh greens and floral pinks of the garden beyond. The small accents of red within the bouquet provide a striking yet controlled focal point, adding warmth without disrupting the painting’s tranquil balance.

    Brushwork is delicate and controlled, with smooth, even application across walls and surfaces, lending the piece a polished finish. Subtle tonal gradations and fine detailing – particularly in the furniture and architectural elements – demonstrate a careful hand, while the garden beyond is rendered with slightly looser, more expressive touches, enhancing the sense of depth and light.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary gilt frame with a stepped, moulded profile. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame shows some slight losses, consistent with age, which does not detract from the overall presentation and charm of the piece.

  • Blue Divide

    Blue Divide

    £730

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric 20th century abstract landscape scene that distils nature into its most elemental forms – sky, land, and light – rendered through a restrained yet deeply expressive lens, executed in oil onto board and dated 1973.

    A vast, luminous sky in soft, powdery blues stretches across the upper plane, subtly shifting in tone with gentle cloud-like variations. Beneath it, a stark horizon line divides the composition, grounding the scene with a band of deep, inky blues and near-black tones that suggest either a distant sea or an expansive field at dusk.

    The foreground is richly atmospheric, built up with layered, gestural applications of paint. Dark teal, indigo, and earthy umber tones merge and dissolve into one another, evoking a sense of depth and quiet movement. A striking passage of pale, almost luminescent white and aqua near the right side hints at reflected light – perhaps water catching the last glimmer of day – adding a moment of contrast and visual intrigue.

    Stylistically, the work leans toward abstraction while retaining a strong sense of landscape. The artist has employed broad, confident brushstrokes alongside areas of scraping and reworking, allowing underlying layers to emerge. This interplay of opacity and translucency gives the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality.

    Overall, the piece carries a contemplative stillness – an understated yet powerful meditation on horizon, light, and space.

    This oil on canvas is housed a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some areas of paint loss, consistent with age.

  • Head Study

    Head Study

    £380

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A 1999 earthenware sculpture that presents an arresting head study, imbued with a raw, almost archaeological presence. The figure is elongated through the neck, giving it a slightly stylised, contemplative posture, somewhere between portrait and abstraction.

    The surface is richly textured, bearing the marks of the artist’s hand. Rough, uneven patches and subtle pitting create a sense of age and weathering, as though the piece has been unearthed rather than made. The warm, earthy tones (burnt sienna, clay red, and soft ochre) shift gently across the form, catching light in a way that emphasises its tactile quality.

    Facial features are simplified but expressive. The eyes are gently hollowed, the nose softly defined, and the mouth sits in a neutral, almost introspective line. Nothing is overly detailed, yet it is deeply evocative through characteristics of the clay.

    The sculpture is in good vintage condition. Please note that it is rather heavy.

    Height: 30 cm

  • Quiet Fields

    Quiet Fields

    Sold

    SOLD

    A calm mid-century composition that presents a serene, pared-back landscape where open fields stretch toward a low horizon line punctuated by a small cluster of distant farm buildings, executed in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    A solitary structure – possibly a barn or haystack – anchors the composition, subtly drawing the eye while preserving the painting’s overall sense of stillness and space. The foreground is rendered in darker, earthy tones, gradually giving way to lighter, muted fields that lead into an expansive, softly washed sky.

    Stylistically, the work leans toward minimalism and tonal abstraction, characteristic of mid-century landscape painting. The artist has simplified forms and reduces detail, allowing atmosphere and composition to take precedence over realism. There is a quiet balance between geometry and softness – the fields are divided into gentle planes, yet edges remain blurred and understated.

    The colour palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by cool, pale blues in the sky and warm, sandy beiges and greys across the land. Subtle transitions between tones create depth without sharp contrast, evoking a calm, almost contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are loose and have been applied with a light, confident touch. The paint is thinly layered in areas, allowing underlying tones to breathe through, while slightly thicker applications in the foreground add weight and texture. The overall handling feels intuitive and unforced, enhancing the painting’s quiet, meditative quality.

    This oil on board is housed a beautiful wood frame with a layered profile and an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks.

  • Street After Rain

    Street After Rain

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and atmospheric mid-century modernist street scene composition that captures a moment just after rainfall, executed in oil onto board.

    Three figures move through the softened and glistening pathway. Modest cottages with dark, pitched roofs line the street, and a tall chimney rises centrally, anchoring the composition. The reflections in the wet ground lend a sense of stillness and introspection, as if time has slowed in the hush following rain.

    Executed in a loose, expressive style, the painting embraces painterly spontaneity over fine detail. The figures are rendered with minimal definition, almost silhouetted. The composition is built through gestural marks and layered textures, with visible brushstrokes adding movement and atmosphere throughout.

    The colour palette is beautifully muted yet warm – earthy ochres, soft greys, and creamy whites dominate, punctuated by deeper browns and charcoals. Subtle hints of pale green and blush tones emerge within the reflections, enriching the surface with quiet complexity. The brushwork is confident, and with textured areas contrasting against thinner, more fluid passages, particularly in the reflective ground where strokes blend and dissolve into one another.

    This oil on board is housed a well-suited painted wood frame that has an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs present.

  • White Roses

    White Roses

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant mid-century modernist still life oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The composition captures a loose arrangement of white roses placed across a richly coloured tabletop and echoed in a tall cobalt-blue jug. The layered planes of colour – suggesting a tablecloth, interior wall, and surface – form a structured yet playful setting. The roses feel freshly placed, lending the scene an air of immediacy and intimacy.

    The painting is executed in a bold modernist style, characterised by flattened perspective and simplified, almost abstracted forms. Rather than striving for realism, the artist emphasises composition and colour relationships. A vivid palette dominates: saturated reds and oranges energise the foreground, contrasted with deep greens, cool blues, and teal tones. The white roses, tinged with warm yellows, act as luminous focal points, softening the intensity of the surrounding colours.

    Brushwork is confident and expressive. The roses are rendered with dynamic and painterly strokes, giving their petals a tactile quality. In contrast, the surrounding surfaces are built up with broader, flatter applications of paint, creating a balance between texture and structure. Edges remain intentionally loose, reinforcing the painting’s spontaneous, lively character.

    This oil on canvas is housed complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs present.

  • Woodland Rhythm

    Woodland Rhythm

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A dynamic mid-century artwork that can be read as an abstracted woodland scene, where slender tree trunks and clustered canopies are distilled into rhythmic, angular forms, executed in oil onto board and dated 1955.

    The vertical lines suggest trunks or branches, while the overlapping triangular and faceted shapes evoke dense foliage catching light at different angles. Rather than a literal forest, it feels like a memory or impression of one – fragmented, layered, and alive with quiet movement.

    The style leans into geometric abstraction with strong cubist influence, where natural forms are broken down into interlocking planes. The composition feels almost musical in its repetition – trees rising and overlapping, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. There’s a balance between structure and spontaneity, as the eye moves through the clustered forms like walking through a stylised grove.

    The palette is rich yet earthy: dominated by browns, mustard yellows, olive greens, and warm rust tones that suggest autumnal foliage or filtered forest light. Darker browns and charcoal lines anchor the composition, acting as trunks or branches that give structure to the scene.

    Brushwork remains controlled and deliberate, with paint applied in flat, confident planes that emphasise form over texture. Subtle variations in tone and the visible weave of the canvas add warmth and tactility, reinforcing the painting’s grounded, organic feel despite its abstraction.

    This oil on board is housed complementary layered wooden frame with pronounced grain, as well as a cream-toned inner border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Chair in Sunlight

    Chair in Sunlight

    Sold

    SOLD

    An intimate mid-century still life centres on a simple wooden chair, positioned in a dim interior and illuminated by a striking shaft of light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two small fruits rest gently on the seat, introducing a subtle human touch without the presence of a figure. The composition is sparse yet deliberate, with the chair’s linear structure and the vertical band of light creating a quiet tension between solidity and atmosphere. The surrounding darkness enhances the sense of stillness, evoking a contemplative, almost meditative mood.

    The style leans toward a pared-back realism infused with modernist restraint. Forms are simplified, and the geometry of the chair is emphasised through clean lines and carefully observed perspective. There’s a strong interplay between light and shadow, reminiscent of chiaroscuro, yet softened through a muted, mid-century sensibility. The artist has focused less on detail and more on mood, allowing light itself to become the central subject.

    The palette is warm and earthy – deep browns and burnt sienna dominate the scene, contrasted by the pale, almost creamy tones of the illuminated chair. The fruits introduce gentle accents of yellow, subtly catching the light and drawing the eye. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with fine, even layering that allows the canvas texture to quietly show through. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the painting a hushed, atmospheric quality that feels both timeless and introspective.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame that complements the subdued palette of the work beautifully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sunlit Courtyard

    Sunlit Courtyard

    Sold

    SOLD

    A quietly evocative mid-century composition that captures an architectural space bathed in angled afternoon light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The viewer is drawn into a corridor-like courtyard framed by simple geometric structures – sloping roofs, rectangular windows, and a series of vertical supports that create a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow. The absence of figures heightens the stillness, allowing the space itself to become the subject: contemplative, almost cinematic in its sense of pause and presence.

    Rendered in a restrained, modernist style, the painting leans into clean lines and simplified forms, reminiscent of mid-century architectural studies. The palette is warm yet muted: soft taupe, sandy beiges, and gentle creams are contrasted with cooler greys and shadowed browns. Light is handled with particular sensitivity, casting elongated triangular shapes across the walls and ground, creating depth and quiet tension within the composition.

    The brushwork is controlled, precise, and deliberate, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise structure over gesture. Edges are softly defined rather than sharply outlined, contributing to the painting’s serene, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame that complements the palette of the work beautifully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Matador’s Moment

    The Matador’s Moment

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century figurative painting that captures a matador poised mid-stance, exuding quiet confidence and theatrical presence, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The figure stands firmly with hands on hips, one leg slightly forward, as if caught in a moment between movement and stillness. The iconic red muleta  drapes boldly to one side, immediately anchoring the composition and evoking the drama of the bullring. The background is minimal and abstracted, allowing the viewer’s attention to remain entirely on the commanding silhouette and gesture of the subject.

    Executed in an expressive style, the figure is rendered with abstraction and reduction rather than fine detail. The anatomy is simplified into angular, geometric forms, lending the composition a sculptural quality. There is a strong emphasis on form, posture, and mood over realism.

    The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by browns and burnt oranges. These tones are contrasted with deep blacks and punctuated by flashes of vivid red in the cape, which serves as the focal point. Highlights of yellow and white are applied sparingly but effectively, creating a sense of light catching on the costume and adding depth to the otherwise flattened space. The background’s muted light shade further enhances the intensity of the foreground colours.

    The brushwork is energetic and textural, with visible, layered strokes that add movement and vitality to the piece. Dry-brush techniques and scraped applications create a sense of abrasion and depth, particularly across the matador’s jacket where flecks of yellow and white suggest embroidery and light reflection. The paint appears deliberately worked and reworked, giving the surface a tactile, almost weathered quality that enhances its expressive character.

    This oil on board is housed in a gilt frame which features gently stepped mouldings that create depth without overwhelming the artwork. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Houses by the Canal

    Houses by the Canal

    £545

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming mid-century painting that captures a tranquil waterfront scene, where a row of softly rendered houses sits just beyond a calm canal, executed in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, three small boats rest on reflective water, their curved forms echoing a sense of stillness and ease. The composition draws the eye horizontally, from the grounded solidity of the boats to the lively rhythm of the houses and trees behind them.

    The style is distinctly modernist, with a loose, expressive approach that favours atmosphere over precision. The buildings are simplified into geometric forms, their facades painted in warm, sunlit tones contrasted by deeper greens of foliage and the muted blues of rooftops. The palette feels both playful and harmonious, with subtle tonal shifts that suggest changing light across the scene.

    Brushwork is confident and painterly, with visible, fluid strokes that lend movement to the trees and water. The reflections in the canal are especially evocative – softly blurred and layered, creating a sense of depth without strict realism. Overall, the piece carries a gentle, nostalgic quality, evoking a quiet moment in a coastal village, where time feels slowed and the everyday becomes quietly beautiful.

    This oil on board is housed in an elegant wood frame whereby the outer section is finished in a muted cream with subtle silver accents along the inner edges, and with an inner linen-textured mount. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Morning Light with Tulips

    Morning Light with Tulips

    £445

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle and delicate mid-century interior still life composition that unfolds around an open window, where soft daylight filters through sheer curtains and gently illuminates a vase of freshly cut tulips, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene captures a quiet, intimate domestic moment while the blurred greenery beyond the window hints at a tranquil garden just outside. The composition balances stillness and life, with the flowers acting as the focal point against the airy, light-filled backdrop.

    Executed in a mid-century modern painterly style, the work leans toward a soft impressionistic approach. Forms are gently simplified rather than sharply defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over precision. There is a delicate interplay between interior and exterior space, achieved through loose rendering and subtle layering.

    The palette is light, fresh, and calming – dominated by soft whites, pale greens, and muted blush pinks. Hints of cool blue-grey in the window frames and shadows add depth, while the tulips introduce gentle warmth without overpowering the composition. The overall tonality is airy and luminous, evoking early morning light.

    Brushwork is soft and fluid, with light, feathery strokes that create a sense of translucency, particularly in the curtains and glass. The flowers are rendered with slightly more definition, using loose yet confident strokes to suggest form without rigidity. The background remains intentionally diffuse, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s dreamy, atmospheric quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame.  There are tiny areas of craquelure present on the petals, consistent with age. However, the paint layer is stable and this does not detract from the overall delicacy and charm of the composition and the painting is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Across the Countryside

    Across the Countryside

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century landscape that unfolds in gentle horizontal bands, capturing a pastoral village nestled within rolling countryside, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    A cluster of houses with red and white rooftops sit quietly amid fields of green and yellow, while slender, vertical trees punctuate the horizon with rhythmic elegance. In the distance, a solitary white tower rises softly against a hazy blue sky, lending the composition a sense of distance.

    The composition is balanced and expansive, with the foreground fields leading the eye inward through subtle shifts in tone and texture. A utility pole and fine overhead wires introduce a delicate linear contrast, anchoring the scene in a moment of lived-in modernity.

    Stylistically, the work reflects a restrained modernist approach, where simplified forms, flattened perspective, and an emphasis on colour harmony are prioritised over detail. The palette is fresh yet subdued: soft greens, muted yellows, earthy browns, and cool blue-greys create a calm, almost meditative atmosphere.

    Brushstrokes are confident, applied in broad, flat passages with minimal blending. The artist has prioritised structure and composition over intricate detailing, allowing each block of colour to stand with clarity and purpose.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful honey-toned wood frame with an inner gilt border and linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Reader’s Pause

    The Reader’s Pause

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemplative interior scene that unfolds around a seated female figure, absorbed in reading, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Positioned beside an open window, she is framed by a gentle interplay between interior and exterior worlds where  the stillness of the room is contrasted with a distant, simplified landscape beyond. A small table with a vase of flowers and furnishing introduces a domestic warmth. The figure’s downward gaze and relaxed posture evoke a moment of quiet solitude, as though time has briefly paused within this private space.

    Executed in an expressive mid-century style, the painting prioritises mood and emotional presence over strict realism. The figure is deliberately simplified, with slightly exaggerated proportions and softened features that lend a dreamlike, almost introspective quality. Spatial relationships are subtly skewed, enhancing the sense of intimacy and subjectivity. The composition feels intuitive rather than rigid, capturing not just a scene, but a feeling.

    The palette is rich yet restrained, balancing cool, airy blues with earthy reds, mossy greens, and warm ochres. These tones are layered and slightly muted, giving the painting a lived-in softness. The contrast between the cooler wall and the warmer clothing creates a quiet tension, while the deeper blues and greens anchor the composition and add depth.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, with visible, gestural strokes that animate the surface. Paint is applied with a tactile immediacy, sometimes thin and sketch-like, at other moments thicker and more deliberate, allowing the artist’s hand to remain present throughout. Edges are loosely defined, and transitions between colours feel organic rather than controlled, reinforcing the emotional, painterly quality of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a softly toned wood frame that complements the work’s gentle, intimate mood. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blossoms Over the Bay

    Blossoms Over the Bay

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and lively mid century painting of a coastal village, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The composition unfolds beneath an arch of oversized, blooming flowers, as though nature itself is framing the scene. Bright red houses cluster along a winding path that leads toward a small harbour, where boats rest gently at the shoreline. Figures move through the landscape, adding a quiet sense of daily life. The perspective feels intentionally playful, with scale shifting between foreground flora and the distant village, creating a dreamlike, almost storybook composition.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern, naïve style, the painting embraces simplified forms and a flattened perspective. There is a joyful, almost childlike immediacy in the way elements are arranged – bold outlines, decorative repetition, and a disregard for strict realism. The composition feels both spontaneous and carefully balanced.

    The palette is vivid and uplifting. Bright reds dominate the houses and flowers, contrasted by fresh greens in the stems and landscape. The sky and water are rendered in soft, airy blues, while touches of yellow in the path bring warmth and movement through the composition. White accents in the flowers and shoreline add lightness and visual rhythm, preventing the bold colours from overwhelming the scene.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible, confident strokes that give the surface a lively texture. Paint is applied in a slightly impasto manner, particularly in the floral elements, where strokes feel rhythmic and almost decorative. Outlines are loose yet deliberate, enhancing the graphic quality while preserving a sense of spontaneity. The overall handling feels intuitive – celebrating colour and form over precision – imbuing the painting with warmth and charm.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with a stepped, ridged profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Room with Blue Window

    Room with Blue Window

    Sold

    SOLD

    A captivating mid-century interior composition that draws the viewer into a sunlit room where everyday objects take on a contemplative stillness, executed in oil onto board by Swedish artist Tore Nyberg (1911-1993), whose has been represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, and the Värmland Museum in Karlstad, to name a few.

    Two simple wooden chairs sit at ease, one angled toward the window, the other slightly withdrawn, suggesting the subtle presence of human life just beyond the frame. Through the central window, a softened exterior unfolds: pale facades and rooftops rendered in light tones.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting balances structure and looseness with remarkable sensitivity. The composition is anchored by strong verticals ( the doorframe, window panes, and chair backs)  yet softened by expressive, painterly handling. There is a quiet geometry at play, but it never feels rigid. Instead, it breathes with a lived-in warmth.

    The colour palette is both fresh and harmonious, dominated by cool blues and turquoise tones that frame the window and radiate throughout the room. These are beautifully offset by warm browns, and dusty greens, creating a gentle dialogue between interior warmth and exterior light. Subtle shifts in tone , particularly in the walls and floor, add depth without overwhelming the scene.

    Brushstrokes are confident and visible, applied with a relaxed, almost intuitive hand. Edges are loosely defined, allowing forms to blur slightly into one another, enhancing the sense of atmosphere. The paint surface carries a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and give the composition a quiet vibrancy.

    Overall, this is a deeply atmospheric work: an intimate study of space, light, and stillness, where beauty is found in the ordinary.

    This oil on board is presented in a beautifully characterful, rustic wooden frame that complements the warmth and intimacy of the interior scene. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of paint loss but this reveals the wood underneath and adds to its vintage charm.

  • She Who Reaches

    She Who Reaches

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century figurative painting that captures an intimate interior moment where a woman is seen cleaning a shop window, set within a richly layered setting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Her gesture feels unhurried, calmly cleaning the shop front window. The room unfolds around her: a table laid with fruit, a small vase of flowers, and stacked vessels or books that lend a sense of warmth.

    The composition leans into a modernist, naïve expressionist style. Perspective is deliberately flattened, and forms are simplified into bold, almost sculptural shapes. Rather than striving for realism, the artist prioritises atmosphere and feeling, allowing the space to read as both physical and emotional.

    The colour palette is striking and evocative. Deep, inky blues and blacks dominate the upper half, punctuated by glowing circular forms that suggest lamplight or a stylised moon beyond the interior. These darker tones are balanced by earthy reds, browns, and greens that ground the scene. The figure’s garment, rendered in rich violet hues, becomes the compositional anchor, drawing the eye immediately to her presence.

    Brushstrokes are confident and tactile, applied with visible energy. These loose gestural marks create a surface that feels alive and rhythmic.

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

  • Violet Drift

    Violet Drift

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small yet very impactful mid-century abstract artwork, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a canvas that has been deliberately painted over, softening and partially veiling its original ground, the surface carries a layered quality that adds depth and intrigue.

    A bold, horizontal sweep of violet anchors the composition, reading like a condensed landscape or suspended terrain. Within it, biomorphic forms in deep forest greens and earthy tones cluster and disperse, evoking foliage or fragments of nature abstracted into gesture. Touches of sky blue and vivid burnt orange punctuate the field, offering moments of contrast and guiding the eye across the surface.

    Stylistically rooted in mid-century abstraction, the piece balances gestural freedom with control. Brushwork is varied and tactile: areas of thick impasto introduce a sculptural dimension, alongside dry, scumbled passages. The interplay between opacity and translucency enhances the sense of layering, making the composition feel both immediate and evolved.

    The painting’s compact format makes it especially versatile, perfectly suited to sit on a shelf or nestled into a bookcase.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window and linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Outpost by the Sea

    Outpost by the Sea

    £440

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century landscape that captures a quiet, sunlit coastal scene, where a solitary white structure rises gently against a calm horizon, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition feels almost dreamlike, softened by distance and atmosphere. The foreground dissolves into abstracted forms of foliage and terrain, guiding the eye toward the central architectural form and the expanse of sea beyond.

    Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting balances structure with spontaneity. The artist has used a restrained yet luminous palette: soft blues and greens are punctuated by sand and sunlit yellows, evoking the gentle heat of a coastal afternoon. The white building acts as a quiet anchor, its simplicity contrasting beautifully with the surrounding painterly gestures.

    Brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, with areas of soft blending juxtaposed against more gestural marks. The paint appears to be applied with a light, confident hand: allowing forms to emerge rather than be rigidly defined. This gives the work an airy, atmospheric quality, as though the scene is suspended between memory and observation.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited and characterful wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The linen border on the frame has some age toning but the frame is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

  • A Moment Between Thoughts

    A Moment Between Thoughts

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed mid-century abstract figurative painting that presents a seated female form, distilled into a series of softly interlocking shapes, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    The figure is poised yet introspective, her posture relaxed with one arm resting gently and the other drawn inward, suggesting a moment of stillness rather than performance. There is an intimacy to the composition: the subject feels both present and slightly withdrawn, as though caught between thought and repose.

    Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist reduces anatomical detail in favour of structure and tonal harmony. The figure is constructed through broad, simplified planes rather than defined lines, allowing the body to emerge through subtle shifts in colour and form. This approach reflects a quiet confidence: less concerned with realism, and more with capturing essence and mood.

    The palette is beautifully muted and earthy, composed of soft greys, warm taupes, olive greens, and dusty blush tones. These colours blend seamlessly into one another, creating a gentle rhythm across the canvas. Occasional deeper accents – charcoal and moss – anchor the composition, giving it depth without disrupting its calm atmosphere.

    Brushwork is expressive yet controlled. The paint is applied in confident, painterly strokes, with visible edges that create a patchwork of colour fields. There is a softness to the transitions, but also a deliberate rawness where forms meet, giving the work a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The overall effect is one of sophistication: a contemplative study of form, light, and presence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm wood frame with visible natural grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Begonia & Apples

    Begonia & Apples

    £440

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasant and meticulously painted mid-century still life that captures a potted begonia arranged beside a small plate of apples, set against a softly lit interior backdrop, and executed in oil onto board and dated 1949.

    The composition feels intimate and unpretentious. An everyday moment elevated through careful observation and painterly sensitivity. The broad, rounded leaves of the begonia fan outward with a gentle rhythm, some tinged with warm russet reds, while delicate pink blossoms rise lightly above, adding a subtle vertical lift. To the right, some apples rest on a simple plate, grounding the composition and introducing a quiet sense of balance.

    The painting leans toward a softened realism with expressive undertones. Forms are simplified yet thoughtfully modelled, with an emphasis on structure and tonal harmony rather than strict detail. The artist shows a clear sensitivity to light and volume, particularly in the way the leaves catch and diffuse illumination.

    The palette is warm and inviting: earthy greens and olive tones dominate the foliage, contrasted by soft coral reds and blush pinks in the flowers. The pears introduce muted yellow-greens, while the tabletop in a warm, buttery yellow adds a gentle luminosity. The background shifts subtly between pale blue-grey and cream, creating depth without distraction.

    Brushwork is confident yet restrained, with visible strokes that lend texture and vitality to the surface. The leaves are articulated with layered, directional strokes that suggest their waxy structure, while the pot and fruit are handled with slightly broader, more blended applications. Throughout, the paint is applied with a tactile quality , neither overly thick nor overly smooth, resulting in a balanced, expressive finish.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame, and subtle inner silver and champagne windows. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Seated Harlequin

    Seated Harlequin

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century figurative painting where a solitary, elongated figure is captured mid-pose, leaning into a quiet, introspective moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1961.

    Dressed in a bold harlequin-patterned suit, the subject occupies a constructed interior – part stage, part room – defined by geometric planes. The posture feels both poised and slightly off-balance, suggesting a tension between performance and stillness, as though the figure has paused between acts.

    Drawing on elements of figurative abstraction, the composition is structured through flattened perspectives and intersecting planes, while the figure is stylised with simplified anatomy and a mask-like face. There is a theatrical quality to the scene – evoking European modernist traditions where costume, form, and space interplay in a quiet psychological narrative.

    A striking palette defines the painting. The harlequin suit is rendered in deep reds, blacks, and muted purples, anchoring the composition with rhythmic intensity. This is set against a backdrop of cool, calming tones: soft sage greens, dusty blues, and pale neutrals. The contrast between warm and cool hues creates both depth and visual tension, while maintaining an overall harmony.

    The brushwork is controlled yet expressive, with a matte, slightly textured surface. Planes of colour are applied with confidence, often in flat, deliberate blocks, while subtle variations in tone and edge soften the geometry. The figure itself is outlined with a gentle firmness, allowing it to emerge clearly from the layered background without losing the painterly quality.

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

  • The Guardian

    The Guardian

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid century earthenware sculpture, with a personality that is both grounded and otherworldly.

    The body is a rounded, drum-like form, elevated on four sturdy, column-like legs, giving it a sense of both stability and animation. The surface is coated in a rich turquoise-green glaze, decorated with bold, hand-painted oval motifs.

    The glaze drips downward in thick, dark trails, creating a sense of movement, like something slowly transforming over time.

    Rising from the body is a narrow neck and bulbous head, topped with a cluster of curling, tentacle-like forms. This crown-like structure gives the sculpture a slightly surreal, organic presence, and introduces a subtle sense of watchfulness or awareness.

    The piece sits somewhere between artifact and fantasy, creating a tension between playfulness and mystery.

    There are a few losses to the ‘tentacles’ on the head of this vintage sculpture, but it is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

  • The Striped Room

    The Striped Room

    £1,200

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant mid-century modern still life painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Bengt Orup (1916–1996), whose works are held in major international collections including Moderna Museet and National Museum in Stockholm, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Tessin Institute in Paris, and many more.

    The composition presents two sculptural black vessels arranged before a window. One holds a radiant sunflower rendered in a bold, simplified form, while the other cradles stylised fruit, depicted as faceted geometric shapes. Through the window behind them, a small red and green landscape appear, adding a quiet narrative element that contrasts with the graphic interior setting. Framing the scene are striking red-and-white horizontal stripes, creating a rhythmic backdrop that energises the composition and draws the eye inward.

    Orup’s modernist approach reduces objects to strong geometric silhouettes and carefully balanced shapes. The palette is vivid yet controlled: deep black vessels anchor the composition against bright sunflower yellow, warm reds, fresh greens and cool greys. Brushstrokes are deliberate and confident, with smooth, flat planes of colour and subtle texture that emphasise clarity, structure and design.

    The result is a playful yet sophisticated still life that merges interior, landscape and abstraction which are hallmarks of Orup’s distinctive mid-century visual language.

    This oil on board is presented in a warm gilt wooden frame with an inner border, which beautifully complements the painting’s bold palette. The painting has some light craquelure present to its paint surface, but it is very stable and consistent with the age of the work, and does not detract from the overall visual appeal.

  • Balloons in the Park

    Balloons in the Park

    Sold

    SOLD

    An enchanting mid-century modern painting that captures a lively moment in a city park, centred around a figure holding a magnificent cluster of colourful balloons, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Several figures gather along the pathway beneath tall trees, creating a gentle sense of movement and everyday life within the urban setting. A warm-toned brick building rises in the background, grounding the scene in a quiet city square.

    The composition is dominated by the striking bouquet of balloons at the centre, painted in lively tones of red, coral, orange, yellow, and soft pink. These bright colours stand in beautiful contrast to the deeper greens of the surrounding foliage and the earthy browns and greys of the park landscape.

    The painting features thick impasto and expressive brushwork. The foliage is built with bold textured strokes, while the balloons are formed from rounded dabs of paint that give them a lively, almost sculptural presence. The figures are rendered loosely, allowing the colour and atmosphere of the scene to take focus.

    The result is a warm and nostalgic composition that celebrates a simple moment of joy where children and passers-by are drawn to a burst of colour in the heart of the park.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame finished in a deep forest green. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Courtyard in Soft Light

    Courtyard in Soft Light

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil mid-century modern painting that beautifully captures a moment of everyday life, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Reuben Hedin (1905-1985), whose artworks have been represented in the Växjö Museum, Vetlanda Museum, Kalmar Museum of Art, and Småland Art Archive in Sweden.

    The composition depicts a row of geometric sunlit houses with warm terracotta roofs, arranged in a quiet courtyard-like space. In the foreground, a solitary figure stands beneath a clothesline, arms raised as she hangs freshly washed garments to dry. The small human presence adds a gentle narrative moment, bringing warmth and life to the otherwise architectural setting.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the scene emphasises simplified forms and strong architectural geometry. The houses are constructed from clean planes and angular shapes, with stepped walls, chimneys, and rooflines forming an almost abstract rhythm across the composition. Perspective is flattened and stylised, allowing the interplay of shapes and light to become the central visual language of the work.

    The colour palette is soft yet striking. Terracotta reds and warm peach tones dominate the rooftops and upper facades, while creamy whites and muted beige walls catch the sunlight. Cool greens and soft blue-greys define the courtyard ground and shaded areas, creating a pleasing contrast between warmth and shadow. The subtle shifts in tone suggest late afternoon light drifting across the buildings.

    Brushwork is controlled and smooth, with carefully blended surfaces that give the painting a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Edges are crisp yet softened by delicate transitions of light and shade, allowing architectural forms to appear solid yet serene. The artist uses gentle tonal gradients rather than heavy texture, reinforcing the quiet stillness of the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Seaside Bench

    Seaside Bench

    Sold

    SOLD

    A small yet very striking mid-century modern figurative landscape oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The composition depicts a couple seated side by side on a bench overlooking a coastal landscape. Positioned in the foreground, the two figures sit quietly together, their bodies angled slightly toward the open horizon where the sea stretches out beneath a pale blue sky. Behind them, rolling green hills and foliage frame the scene, while sandy brown paths and coastal terrain lead the eye toward the calm water in the distance. The composition captures a quiet moment of companionship and reflection within a tranquil seaside setting.

    Rendered in an expressive style, the figures are simplified and loosely defined, with minimal facial detail. Their posture and colour carry the emotional tone of the scene rather than strict realism. The landscape itself is composed of bold, abstracted forms – rounded foliage, blocks of hillside colour, and horizontal bands of sea and sky – creating a balanced yet spontaneous composition.

    The palette is rich yet harmonious. Deep forest greens  shape the surrounding landscape, contrasted by warm sand of the coastal ground. The sea appears in calm bands of muted blue beneath a soft, open sky. The seated figures provide visual contrast: one dressed in a light, almost luminous light blue garment, the other in deeper navy and teal tones that subtly echo the colours of the ocean behind them.

    Brushstrokes are broad and confident, applied with visible painterly energy. Thick, expressive strokes define the foliage and figures, while flatter passages of colour describe the sea and sky, creating a pleasing interplay between texture and calm space. The slightly rough, gestural application gives the painting vitality and movement.

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

  • Golden Fields

    Golden Fields

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century modern landscape that presents a cluster of farmhouses set against expansive, sun-washed fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

    The composition centres on a group of simplified farmhouses: white-walled structures with gently sloping roofs – arranged in quiet dialogue with one another. Beyond them, bands of cultivated land stretch horizontally toward a dark green tree line and a pale, open sky, creating a sense of stillness and breadth.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and clarity. Architectural forms are pared back to essential geometric shapes, with clean rooflines and block-like walls that emphasise structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the buildings and landscape to sit harmoniously within layered planes of colour rather than deep spatial recession.

    The colour palette is warm and restrained. Soft browns and golden yellows dominate the fields, evoking late afternoon light, while muted sage and olive greens define the distant horizon. The buildings are rendered in creamy whites and pale neutrals, their roofs in earthy taupes and browns. The sky, a gentle wash of pale greenish-blue, enhances the tranquil atmosphere and unifies the composition.

    Brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, with broad, even applications of paint that create smooth expanses of colour. Subtle textural variations are visible across the surface, lending depth without disrupting the painting’s calm rhythm. The overall effect is one of serene balance : a landscape scene distilled into harmonious shapes and tones.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is presented in good vintage condition. There is a small loss visible to the upper middle area and another to the bottom left, as well as very small areas of craquelure present, consistent with age. However, these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the work.

    Where the Sky Rests

    £810

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A beautifully restrained mid-century modern landscape depicting a sparse rural settlement set beneath an expansive, cloud-laden sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two low, dark-roofed cottages sit quietly along the horizon line, their whitewashed walls rendered in simplified, almost geometric forms. A solitary vertical pole punctuates the composition, while angular planes of earth in the foreground lead the eye gently inward, suggesting embankments or cultivated land.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the composition embraces minimalism and balance. The buildings are reduced to essential shapes, their proportions slightly flattened, creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Space is expressed through broad horizontal bands – sky, land, and foreground – rather than through intricate detail, giving the work its serene, architectural clarity.

    The colour palette is muted and earthy, dominated by soft sand tones and deep browns. The sky is a subtle wash of pale grey with faint hints of green and blue, lending the scene a quiet, overcast luminosity. Dark charcoal accents in the rooftops and vertical elements provide contrast and anchor the composition.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with thin, even applications of paint that emphasise shape over texture. Areas of soft blending in the sky contrast with the more defined, deliberate edges of the buildings and landforms. The overall effect is one of stillness and introspection.

    This oil on canvas is well presented in a well-suited wood frame with a grey-brown finish and an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Patience of Form

    The Patience of Form

    £895

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a stylised female nude seated in a contemplative pose,  executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The figure is simplified into soft, sculptural forms, her facial features intentionally omitted, allowing the focus to rest on shape, balance and presence rather than identity. One arm bends gently at the elbow, while the body folds into itself with an elegant rhythm, creating a quiet tension between strength and vulnerability.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the work embraces abstraction without fully abandoning figuration. The anatomy is reduced to rounded, almost cubist volumes, with limbs and torso articulated through blocks of colour rather than strict line. The proportions are subtly exaggerated, particularly in the thighs and hips, giving the composition a grounded, monumental quality despite its intimate scale.

    The palette is cool and harmonious, dominated by muted blues, soft greys and chalky whites. Gentle blush pinks and earthy browns warm the lower half of the figure, while small accents of deeper blue and rust add visual punctuation. The pale, textured background enhances the sense of stillness, allowing the figure to emerge almost like a fresco against a washed wall.

    Brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Loose, visible strokes define contour and volume, with areas of dry-brushed texture that lend the surface a tactile, slightly weathered character. Edges remain soft rather than sharply delineated, reinforcing the painting’s quiet, introspective mood.

    This large oil on canvas is well presented in a wide-profile wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • Clocks & Chimes

    Clocks & Chimes

    Sold

    SOLD

    A quietly meditative 20th century abstraction from 1971 that distils the essence of time and rhythm into a refined visual language of line and tone, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The canvas is divided horizontally: a calm expanse of warm, creamy white above, and below it, layered bands of muted browns and soft taupes that read like measured intervals or tonal reverberations.

    Two linear elements punctuate the stillness. A slender yellow arc rises gently from the lower edge, its curve suggesting cyclical motion and the continuous sweep of time. To the right, a vertical red line edged subtly in yellow stands upright and precise, like the strike of a bell or the steady mark of an hour. Together, they evoke both movement and resonance: the visual equivalent of a clock’s face and its chime.

    The style is characteristically mid-century in its clarity and reduction. Forms are simplified to essential gestures, and depth is created through tonal layering rather than perspective. The palette is warm and harmonious: creamy neutrals and earthy browns provide a grounded field, while the yellow and red introduce quiet luminosity and rhythm.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with matte, even applications that emphasise colour fields over texture. The horizontal bands are softly blended, creating a sense of gentle gradation,  like sound fading into silence,  while the linear accents remain crisp and deliberate.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a champagne toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown.

  • Windowlight Mosaic

    Windowlight Mosaic

    Sold

    SOLD

    A radiant mid-century composition that balances abstraction with suggestion, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting evokes the feeling of light filtering through a window onto a lively garden. Fragmented planes and overlapping shapes hint at foliage, architectural lines and perhaps a vase or tabletop, yet the subject remains intentionally fluid – an interplay between interior and exterior, structure and nature.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work embraces geometric simplification and flattened perspective. Forms are broken into angular shards and soft-edged blocks, arranged in a rhythmic grid-like composition that feels both ordered and spontaneous. There is a gentle Cubist influence in the faceting of shapes, yet the palette keeps the mood light and optimistic rather than analytical.

    The colour palette is fresh and luminous: powder blue and sky tones form a cool foundation, layered with warm buttery yellows and soft apricot hues. Accents of sage green, lavender, and deeper violet punctuate the composition, while subtle flashes of pink add vibrancy. The harmonious contrast between warm and cool tones creates a sense of depth without relying on traditional modelling.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet restrained. Paint is applied in smooth, deliberate layers, with visible directional strokes that follow the geometry of each shape. The surface retains a soft, matte texture, enhancing the tactile quality of the canvas while maintaining clarity of form.

    Overall, the piece captures the optimistic spirit of mid-century abstraction: light-filled, balanced, and quietly joyful.

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

    Lavender & Fruit

    £515

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A joyful radiant mid-century interior still life that captures a sunlit window scene in full bloom, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground, a tall turquoise glass jug brims with freshly cut lavender, its lilac blossoms arching gently outward. Resting beside it on the windowsill are three ripe fruit, their warm red and golden tones offering a rich counterpoint to the cool palette that surrounds them. Beyond the glass, lush greenery presses against the pane, suggesting a garden just beyond the interior space.

    Executed in a lively, expressive mid-century style, the forms are loosely defined yet confidently structured, with simplified shapes and a focus on colour harmony over strict realism. The vertical and horizontal lines of the window frame anchor the scene, creating a subtle geometric structure within the organic abundance of foliage and flowers.

    The colour palette is fresh and invigorating. Layers of turquoise, teal and aqua dominate the setting, punctuated by flashes of lemon yellow and spring green in the background foliage. The lavender blooms are rendered in soft purples, dusty pinks and touches of white, while the fruit introduce warmth through saturated reds and amber highlights. This interplay of cool and warm tones gives the painting a dynamic, sunlit energy.

    Brushstrokes are bold, textured and gestural, applied with visible confidence. Thick impasto passages define the petals and leaves, while broader, sweeping strokes animate the background. The paint surface has a tactile quality, with layered strokes that catch the light and enhance the sense of immediacy and movement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Painterly Harvest

    Painterly Harvest

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and painterly mid-century abstract still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This composition captures a cluster of fruit, most prominently a glowing red apple and luminous yellow pears, arranged against a softly abstracted ground. The forms are simplified and gently rounded, their silhouettes emerging from a haze of colour rather than precise line, giving the work a poised yet spontaneous quality.

    Executed in a modernist idiom, the painting balances figuration with abstraction. The fruit appears anchored by a dark, gestural base suggesting a tabletop, while the surrounding space dissolves into broad planes of muted grey, sage, and cream. A bold field of muted crimson in the upper right adds structure and counterpoint, framing the brighter central forms.

    The palette is both earthy and expressive: warm reds, golden yellows, and fresh green are set against cool blue accents and smoky neutrals. This interplay creates depth without relying on strict perspective.

    Brushstrokes are confident and painterly: at times thick and textured, at others scraped back or thinned to reveal underlying layers. Areas of visible underpainting and energetic, gestural marks lend movement and vitality, embodying the mid-century fascination with colour, balance, and expressive surface.

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

  • Fishing Trawler in Black

    Fishing Trawler in Black

    Sold

    SOLD

    A characterful naïve style contemporary painting depicting a fishing trawler moving steadily across softly cresting waters, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The vessel sits confidently against a muted sky, its twin russet sails raised and a pale plume of smoke drifting from the central funnel. The scene feels both purposeful and serene – a working boat captured in a moment of quiet passage.

    Rendered in a distinctive naïve style, the composition embraces flattened perspective and simplified geometry. The trawler is reduced to bold, clearly defined shapes, with rigging drawn in fine linear accents and the hull marked crisply with its identification number. The sea is arranged in rhythmic horizontal bands, suggesting motion without disrupting the calm symmetry of the composition.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. The deep black hull is offset by a clean cream stripe, while the warm, earthy brown sails introduce richness and balance. Cool maritime blues define the water, layered in soft tonal shifts with pale white highlights tracing the wave crests. The sky is painted in chalky greys, punctuated by gently stylised clouds that enhance the painting’s storybook charm.

    Brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with flat, even applications of colour strengthening the graphic clarity of the vessel. Subtle texture is visible in the sky and sea, adding quiet depth while maintaining the work’s decorative simplicity.

    This oil on board is presented in a dark wooden frame with a inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

  • Fishing Trawler in Green

    Fishing Trawler in Green

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming naïve style contemporary painting depicting a green fishing trawler navigating softly rolling seas, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The vessel cuts a steady horizontal line across the composition, its upright mast, taut rigging and gently billowing sail lending a quiet sense of purpose and movement. A plume of pale smoke rises from the red funnel, drifting into a softly clouded sky.

    Rendered in a characteristically naïve style, the painting embraces flattened perspective and simplified geometry. The boat is presented in clean profile, its forms reduced to essential shapes and crisp outlines. Proportion and detail are intentionally pared back, allowing the bold silhouette and balanced composition to take precedence over realism.

    The palette is both restrained and striking. The hull’s rich green contrasts beautifully against the cool, powdery blues of the sea. The funnel’s deep red, accented with cream and black bands, introduces warmth and graphic punch, echoed in the earthy brown sail and cabin details. The sky is painted in muted, chalky neutrals, enhancing the maritime calm.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat areas of even colour defining the vessel. The water is animated by rhythmic, horizontal strokes and white crests that suggest gentle motion without disrupting the painting’s serene tone.

    This oil on board is presented in a wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Humpback Whale at Sea

    Humpback Whale at Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A bold and theatrical contemporary naïve style painting that depicts a monumental humpback whale gliding beneath the legendary ocean liner Lusitania, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition is split horizontally between sea and sky: above the waterline, the iconic steamship moves calmly across a pale grey horizon, its three red funnels releasing soft plumes of smoke; below, a vast humpback whale dominates the scene, its immense body rendered in simplified, graphic form.

    Executed in a distinctive naïve style, the work embraces flattened perspective and exaggerated scale. The whale appears far larger than the ship, heightening the sense of quiet tension and lending the painting a folkloric, almost mythic quality. Detail is intentionally minimal: forms are cleanly outlined, shadows reduced, and spatial depth suggested through gentle tonal shifts rather than realism.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. Cool blues define the water, transitioning subtly from lighter tones near the surface to deeper shades around the whale’s body. The whale itself is painted in rich navy with a creamy white underbelly marked by rhythmic linear grooves. Above, the ship’s black hull, red funnels and white superstructure introduce strong contrast against the soft grey sky.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise shape and silhouette. The water shows delicate horizontal strokes, adding quiet movement while preserving the composition’s calm clarity.

    This oil on board is presented in an ornate gilt frame, its elaborate carving and warm gold tones intentionally echoing the grandeur of the Lusitania. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Lesser Spotted Dogfish

    Lesser Spotted Dogfish

    Sold

    SOLD

    A visually engaging contemporary naïve style painting depicting two Lesser Spotted Dogfish gliding in quiet formation beneath gently rippling waters, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    Set against a softly modulated blue sea, the pair move horizontally across the composition, their elongated bodies and distinctive spotted markings rendered with clarity and playful precision.

    Executed in a naïve style, the work embraces simplified form and flattened perspective. The fish are presented in profile, their proportions slightly stylised to emphasise pattern and silhouette over anatomical realism. The repetition of the two figures creates a pleasing sense of rhythm and balance, lending the composition a calm, almost decorative quality.

    The palette is harmonious and restrained. The cool blue water is built from subtle tonal variations, with light, horizontal strokes suggesting surface movement. In contrast, the dogfish are painted in warm sandy tones, scattered with rhythmic brown spots that animate their forms. Fine linear details define the fins and gill markings, adding gentle texture without disrupting the painting’s graphic simplicity.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint enhancing the bold outlines and clean silhouettes. Delicate, feathered strokes in the background provide atmosphere while allowing the spotted patterning to remain the focal point.

    This oil on board is presented in a dark wooden frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Beluga Whale at Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and whimsical naïve style contemporary painting of a maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    A white beluga whale glides through rich blue waters, while above the horizon a tall sailing ship drifts beneath a soft pink sky dotted with small clouds.

    Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the painting embraces clarity over realism. Perspective is intentionally flattened, proportions are stylised, and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. This simplicity enhances its whimsical, almost folkloric quality. The composition is clean and balanced, with strong horizontal divisions that give the work a calm, meditative rhythm.

    The palette is bold yet harmonious: deep blues contrast beautifully with the warm rose-pink sky, while the pale whale stands out as the focal point. Brushwork appears smooth and controlled, with areas of flat, opaque colour that emphasise the graphic quality of the composition.

    This oil on board is housed in a brown painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Great White Shark at Sea

    Great White Shark at Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking naïve style contemporary painting of a dramatic maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The painting depicts a monumental shark gliding through calm, cerulean waters while, above the surface, a tall-masted sailing ship drifts serenely under a rose-tinted sky.

    Executed in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and bold simplification. Forms are clearly outlined, proportions intentionally exaggerated for emphasis, and spatial depth is suggested through horizontal bands of colour rather than traditional modelling. The shark’s commanding scale is dramatically larger than the distant ship, enhancing the dreamlike, storytelling quality of the piece, lending it a subtly surreal charm.

    The colour palette is both playful and harmonious. Layers of blue shift from deeper tones below to lighter hues near the surface, while the sky transitions through warm blush and coral pinks. The dark charcoal body of the shark anchors the composition, contrasted by its pale underbelly and small accents of red in the mouth. The restrained palette heightens visual clarity and impact.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with areas of flat, even application that emphasise shape over texture. Subtle tonal variations within the water suggest gentle movement, while the sky’s gradient appears softly blended. The overall finish is clean and deliberate, reinforcing the naïve aesthetic while maintaining a confident contemporary edge.

  • Orca and Steamship

    Orca and Steamship

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking naïve style contemporary painting that captures a moment of quiet drama at sea, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    A monumental orca glides across softly undulating waters, its bold black-and-white form commanding the foreground. Behind it, a stylised steamship sails calmly across the horizon, smoke rising in gentle puffs toward a pale, clouded sky. In the distance, faint mountainous silhouettes dissolve into mist, creating a sense of depth while maintaining the painting’s charming simplicity.

    Executed in a naïve style, the work embraces flat perspective and deliberate scale distortion.  The whale is rendered larger than life in relation to the ship, lending the scene a dreamlike, storytelling quality. The composition feels almost folkloric, as if suspended between reality and imagination.

    The palette is restrained yet effective: cool blues dominate the sea and sky, layered in soft tonal shifts, while the orca’s deep matte black contrasts crisply against its creamy white markings. The ship introduces earthy browns, subtly grounding the scene.

    Brushwork is controlled and minimal, with smooth, even application across the whale’s body and ship, enhancing their graphic clarity. The water and sky show slightly more texture, with gentle horizontal strokes suggesting movement and atmosphere without disrupting the overall calm. The result is a piece that feels both playful and contemplative: bold in silhouette, serene in mood.

  • Nude in Soft Light

    Nude in Soft Light

    £845

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed expressive mid-century figurative painting that presents a standing female nude, captured in a moment of quiet composure, painted in oil onto board and dated 1957.

    The figure stands upright, one arm gently extended to rest upon a vertical form while the other arm falls loosely by her side. Her face is intentionally softened and undefined, directing attention instead to posture, gesture, and the interplay of light across the body.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances figuration with abstraction. The body is constructed through confident, sculptural brushwork: planes of brown, sand, olive, and muted rose build form through tonal shifts rather than precise line. The artist uses broad, directional strokes that remain visible and tactile, giving the surface a sense of movement and immediacy.

    The palette is earthy and restrained: warm flesh tones contrast against a cool, chalky white background layered with subtle greys and hints of pale blue. The isolated blue vertical accent at the left provides a visual counterweight and anchors the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and gestural, applied with a loaded brush in sweeping, confident passes. Areas of thicker impasto sit alongside thinner, scumbled layers, creating depth and texture. The figure’s contours are suggested rather than strictly defined, lending the work a softness and modern elegance typical of mid-century European studio practice.

    The overall effect is contemplative and quietly powerful, a study in form, balance, and painterly restraint.

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

  • Reclining Figure on Rug

    Reclining Figure on Rug

    £460

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century figurative composition that presents a reclining nude stretched languidly across a rug with vivid blue foliage, executed in watercolour onto paper and framed behind glass.

    The figure is simplified yet sensuous, her body rendered in soft, flowing contours that emphasise volume and repose rather than anatomical precision. She rests against a boldly divided backdrop, saturated red to one side and an expanse of blue to the other, creating a dynamic, modernist tension between figure and space.

    The style reflects a distinctly mid-century approach: flattened perspective, expressive simplification, and an emphasis on shape and colour over fine detail. The body is articulated through translucent washes of warm peach, apricot, and blush tones, allowing the underpainting and brush movement to remain visible. Shadows are suggested rather than defined, giving the figure a softness that feels intimate and atmospheric.

    The surrounding, painted in rhythmic strokes of cerulean and turquoise, forms a decorative, almost pattern-like base. These repeated leaf motifs introduce movement and contrast, their cool tones heightening the warmth of the nude figure. The brushwork throughout is loose and confident – gestural in the background, more fluid and diluted across the body lending the piece an immediacy and painterly charm.

    Overall, the work balances bold colour blocking with gentle figuration, embodying the modern aesthetic characteristic of mid-century figurative painting.

    This watercolour on paper is framed behind glass and presented in a complementary gilt frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sperm Whale and Smoking Chimneys

    Sperm Whale and Smoking Chimneys

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming contemporary naïve maritime scene, executed in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition presents a vast sperm whale moving steadily through calm blue waters, its immense dark form dominating the lower half of the painting. Above the surface, a shoreline unfolds: a row of red-brick factory buildings with tall smoking chimneys stretches along a green embankment, while a schooner glides quietly across the horizon beneath a warm yellow sky.

    Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the work embraces flattened perspective and bold simplification. Forms are clearly defined and confidently outlined, with exaggerated scale lending the whale a monumental presence. Spatial depth is conveyed through horizontal bands of water, land and sky rather than traditional modelling, enhancing the painting’s graphic clarity and storytelling charm.

    The colour palette is harmonious yet distinctive. Soft, powdery blues shape the water, set against a buttery yellow sky that lends warmth to the scene. The red-orange industrial buildings provide a vibrant architectural counterpoint, while the muted purple sails introduce a gentle tonal variation. The whale’s deep charcoal body anchors the composition, punctuated by a pale eye and a sharp row of small red teeth that add a subtle edge of character.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with flat, even application that prioritises shape and composition over painterly texture. Gentle tonal shifts within the water suggest quiet movement, while the sky is softly blended, reinforcing the calm surface atmosphere that contrasts with the powerful presence beneath.

  • The Figs

    The Figs

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poised mid-century still life that presents a quietly architectural composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This composition centres on three deep green figs resting in a shallow tray. Behind them rises a stylised facade, a simplified portico with an arched window and triangular pediment rendered in flattened planes of muted blush, sage and cream.

    The style reflects a distinctly mid-century sensibility: pared back, structured, and contemplative. Forms are simplified into essential shapes of ovals, triangles, rectangles, and the architectural backdrop introduces a sense of order and symmetry, contrasting beautifully with the organic curves of the figs.

    The palette is restrained and harmonious. Moss greens and olive tones dominate the fruit, offset by chalky whites, dusty rose, pale yellow and cool grey-blues in the surrounding space. Light appears to enter from the side, casting gentle shadows that anchor the composition and add depth without disrupting its calm balance.

    Brushstrokes are confident and visible, with a slightly dry, textured application that allows the canvas weave to subtly show through. The paint is layered in broad, deliberate strokes – particularly in the background – while the figs themselves are modelled with softer blending, giving them a quiet solidity and presence.

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

    Quiet Farmstead

    £480

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and serene mid-century landscape that captures a rural farmstead in its most distilled and poetic form, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Three angular barns sit low against an expansive, powder-blue sky, their pitched roofs forming a rhythmic sequence of geometric silhouettes. Bare trees rise slender and vertical, softening the strong triangular architecture and anchoring the composition in a quiet seasonal stillness.

    Rendered in a restrained, modernist style, the painting balances abstraction and representation. The barns are simplified into bold planes of colour, while hedgerows and fields are reduced to blocks of earthy brown and moss green. The pale turquoise sky provides a luminous backdrop, creating a gentle contrast against the grounded, darker foreground.

    Brushstrokes are confident. Broad, flat applications of paint define the land and sky, while looser, slightly feathered strokes articulate the trees and subtle shifts in the terrain. The paint handling is matte and softly textured, allowing the composition’s geometry and colour relationships to take precedence over detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen-lined wood frame with an inner white and silver border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Folk Musicians

    Folk Musicians

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively 20th century figurative painting that depicts a spirited gathering of musicians arranged in a tiered composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1969.

    Each figure absorbed in the act of playing:  violins are lifted mid-bow, a guitarist anchors the right side, and smaller figures stand poised with wind instruments, creating the sense of a communal folk performance. The central foreground figure, hands planted confidently on hips and dressed in a patterned skirt and vest, acts as both visual anchor and quiet conductor of the scene.

    Simplified, elongated forms with minimal facial detail lend the work a universal, almost archetypal quality. The figures are stylised rather than portrait-like, with flattened planes and a compressed sense of space that brings the entire ensemble forward toward the viewer. There is a naïve-modernist charm in the proportions and arrangement, yet the composition is carefully balanced, with vertical instrument necks and angled bows creating rhythm across the canvas.

    The colour palette is warm and earthy, grounded in greens and muted browns, punctuated by vibrant notes of mustard yellow, teal blue, red and burnt orange. These contrasting garments give each musician individuality while harmonising within the overall composition.

    Brushstrokes are confident and expressive. Paint is applied in visible, textured strokes – particularly in the clothing and instruments  –  adding movement and energy to the scene. The background is softly blended but remains painterly, allowing the figures to stand forward in bold, gestural definition. The overall effect is celebratory and rhythmic, capturing not just a group of musicians, but the collective spirit of shared music-making.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian lined wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Ceremony of Colour

    Ceremony of Colour

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century abstract figurative painting that depicts a rhythmic procession of five women walking across an open, sun-washed landscape, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    Each figure balances a vessel upon her head, their elongated forms moving in quiet unison against a soft expanse of sky and sand. Though simplified and abstracted, the figures retain a powerful presence.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances figuration with abstraction. The bodies are constructed from bold, angular planes of colour rather than detailed anatomy, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and spontaneity. The negative space of pale blue sky and creamy earth provides a serene backdrop that allows the vibrant figures to command attention.

    The palette is rich and saturated, featuring vivid oranges, fiery reds, cobalt blues, emerald greens, and deep purples. These colours are layered and juxtaposed in expressive blocks, giving each figure a unique visual rhythm while maintaining overall harmony. The contrast between the warm garments and the cool sky enhances the painting’s luminosity and depth.

    Brushwork is energetic and confident. Broad, gestural strokes define the drapery and movement of fabric, while thicker applications of paint create texture and dimension across the figures’ garments. The artist has allowed edges to remain loose and painterly, with visible layering and occasional scumbling that adds vitality to the surface. The simplified faces and silhouetted profiles further emphasise form, colour, and movement over detail.

    Overall, the painting embodies the bold spirit of mid-century abstraction, celebrating colour, gesture, and human form in a composition that feels expressive.

  • The Laundry Room

    The Laundry Room

    £625

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A lively 1977 interior figurative painting that captures a lively domestic moment within what appears to be a laundry room,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    A group of women are absorbed in their individual tasks: lifting sheets, folding linen, tending to fabrics, and moving rhythmically through the shared space. The presence of cribs in the foreground adds a gentle narrative rhythm, evoking themes of care, routine, and collective responsibility. The scene feels observed rather than staged, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life.

    Executed in a gentle modernist figurative style, the composition prioritises atmosphere and emotion over strict realism. Figures are simplified and slightly elongated, their forms softened into painterly silhouettes. The spatial arrangement guides the eye fluidly from foreground to background, creating a sense of continuity between the women, their tasks, and the surrounding architecture. Tall arched windows allow light to pour into the space, reinforcing the feeling of calm routine and shared purpose.

    The palette is dominated by delicate, muted tones – powder blues, greens, soft creams, and pale lavenders – punctuated by warmer accents of rust, ochre, and terracotta in the figures’ garments. These gentle colour harmonies evoke cleanliness, light, and quiet introspection, reinforcing the contemplative tone of the scene.

    Brushwork is loose, expressive, and economical. Forms are suggested rather than fully defined, with thin veils of paint layered transparently to create softness and luminosity. Edges blur into one another, allowing figures and environment to merge subtly, while occasional firmer strokes articulate gestures and movement. The overall effect is intimate and atmospheric, capturing not only a place, but the lived rhythm and quiet humanity of shared work.

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

    Size: 67 x 87 cm (including frame)

  • The Waiting Place

    The Waiting Place

    Sold

    SOLD

    A compelling mid-century abstract figurative painting that presents a gathering of elongated figures arranged in quiet proximity, executed in oil onto board.

    The forms appear engaged in a shared moment: perhaps at a waiting place or a gathering, but their identities remain deliberately obscured.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the composition balances abstraction with figuration. The figures are reduced to essential silhouettes and planar shapes, their coats and hats suggested through angular geometry and softened contours. There is a subtle architectural structure anchoring the composition, with vertical elements lending a sense of stillness and gravitas.

    The palette is restrained and sophisticated, dominated by muted greys, smoky charcoals, warm browns, and off-whites, punctuated by accents of crimson, burnt sienna, and soft rose. These warmer notes glow subtly from the centre, creating a quiet internal luminosity that draws the viewer inward. The tonal contrasts between light and dark figures create rhythm and spatial depth while maintaining an atmospheric cohesion.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, combining thin washes with dry, textured passages. Edges dissolve and re-emerge, allowing forms to hover between presence and absence. Vertical strokes emphasise the standing figures, while softer blended areas create a sense of movement and ambiguity. This interplay between structure and dissolution is characteristic of mid-century abstraction, lending the painting both emotional resonance and formal sophistication.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey painted wood frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a white mark to the bottom right corner of the outer frame but this does not detract from the overall composition.

  • Tabletop Composition

    Tabletop Composition

    Sold

    SOLD

    An intimate still life that presents a quietly contemplative arrangement of everyday objects: a tall green glass bottle, a white jug, and three ripe apples resting upon a simple tabletop, executed in oil onto board and dated 1977.

    The composition is carefully balanced, with the bottle acting as a vertical anchor, its slender silhouette contrasted by the rounded softness of the apples and the sturdy, tactile presence of the jug. The objects are arranged close together, while the subtle cast shadow behind the bottle introduces depth and a quiet sense of afternoon light.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting reflects a focus on form, tone, and spatial harmony. The artist distils each object to its essential shape and presence, and the composition feels deliberate yet unpretentious: a study in stillness, balance, and the beauty of ordinary objects.

    The colour palette is soft, muted, and harmonious. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Soft, blended passages create smooth tonal transitions, while visible brushstrokes in the apples and bottle lend texture and vitality. The paint handling feels confident, capturing the essence of each object without unnecessary detail. Subtle variations in tone and edge create volume and form, while the background remains softly modulated, enhancing the painting’s serene and contemplative mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner dark wood border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Winter Light

    Winter Light

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century landscape that captures the stillness of a winter marsh, where a broad expanse of pale water or frost-covered ground stretches across the foreground, reflecting the muted sky above, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender, leafless trees rise along the water’s edge, their dark trunks and branches creating elegant vertical accents against the open, horizontal sweep of the landscape. In the distance, softened forms of woodland and low terrain recede into shadow, lending the scene a quiet sense of depth and solitude.

    The painting is rendered in a confident, painterly style characteristic of mid-century modernist landscapes. The artist has used loose, gestural brushwork to suggest rather than define, allowing texture and movement to convey atmosphere. The surface reveals thickly applied passages of paint in the foreground, where creamy whites, pale greys, and soft blues evoke frost, water, or snow. These cooler tones are subtly enlivened by touches of ochre, rust, and mossy green, suggesting winter grasses and reeds catching the last warmth of the season.

    The sky is painted in layered shades of muted blue and grey, applied in broad, sweeping strokes that create a soft, overcast luminosity. The trees are articulated with darker, more deliberate lines, their vertical rhythm grounding the composition and framing the open space beyond. Overall, the painting balances abstraction and representation, capturing not just the physical landscape, but its mood: serene, introspective, and quietly poetic.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited linen lined wood frame that complements atmospheric palette beautifully. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the inner frame, and a small area of loss to the bottom right corner of the outer frame, consistent with age, but this does not detract from the overall appearance.

  • The Waiting Boats

    The Waiting Boats

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century modernist coastal landscape that presents two boats drawn ashore, resting quietly on a pale sandy foreground, and painted in oil onto canvas.

    One vessel, painted in deep black, faces forward with quiet presence, while the other, rendered in a rich muted green, sits slightly angled beside it. Slender ladders lean against their hulls, suggesting recent use or quiet maintenance. Beyond them, calm blue water stretches toward softly rounded green islands, their forms simplified into gentle, almost abstract silhouettes beneath an open, pale sky. The composition evokes a moment of stillness between departures: a pause in the rhythm of coastal life.

    The painting is executed in a restrained modernist style, defined by simplified shapes, flattened perspective, and a careful balance between representation and abstraction. The artist has reduced forms to their essential geometry, allowing the boats and landscape to become harmonious arrangements of colour and shape rather than detailed realism.

    The colour palette is soothing and thoughtfully restrained, featuring soft sea-blues, sage and teal greens, warm sandy neutrals, and grounding accents of black. Subtle tonal transitions create depth while maintaining the painting’s calm, balanced atmosphere. The limited palette enhances the sense of cohesion and tranquility, allowing each element to feel integrated within the whole.

    Brushwork is deliberate and controlled, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasize form and contour over texture. Edges are softly defined rather than sharply outlined, lending the scene a gentle, contemplative quality. Slight variations in tone and layering reveal the artist’s hand while preserving the overall clarity and compositional harmony.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautifully complementary gilt frame with a gently stepped profile. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pastel Grove

    Pastel Grove

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and pleasant mid-century abstract modernist landscape that evokes a tranquil woodland clearing bathed in the gentle glow of early morning light, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Slender vertical forms suggest tree trunks rising through a softly diffused atmosphere, while a luminous central passage draws the eye inward, hinting at a path or opening beyond. The composition balances abstraction and suggestion, allowing the viewer to experience both place and feeling without strict definition.

    Rendered in a delicate pastel palette of blush pinks, warm yellows, and soft sage greens, the painting captures the fleeting harmony of nature as it shifts between seasons or times of day. Subtle tonal transitions create a sense of depth and air, while muted earth tones anchor the foreground in quiet stability.

    The brushwork is expressive yet restrained, with visible palette knife textures and layered impasto lending the surface a tactile richness. Paint is applied in confident sweeps and gentle scrapes, allowing underlayers to emerge and interact, enhancing the painting’s luminous, atmospheric quality. The result is a serene and contemplative modernist work: both structured and intuitive as the landscape is captured as an emotional and sensory experience rather than a literal view.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Still Coast

    Still Coast

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm and meditative mid-century modernist coastal landscape that captures the hushed stillness of an estuary unfolding beneath a pale, overcast sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A winding shoreline curves gently through the composition, guiding the eye toward distant headlands softened by atmospheric haze. On the right, a cluster of slender, darkened trees rises from the embankment, their vertical forms providing a striking counterpoint to the broad, horizontal calm of the water and shoreline. The scene feels suspended in a moment of winter quiet: timeless, contemplative, and deeply serene.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist has reduced the landscape to essential forms and tonal relationships. The composition balances abstraction with recognisable geography, allowing negative space and subtle tonal shifts to carry emotional weight. The muted palette – comprising soft greys, chalky whites, warm taupes, and earthy browns – enhances the sense of stillness, evoking coastal light diffused through cloud and mist.

    The brushwork is confident, with broad, sweeping strokes used to suggest water, sand, and sky. Areas of dry brush and lightly textured paint create gentle variation across the surface, while darker, more defined strokes anchor the composition and introduce structure. This interplay between softness and structure reflects the modernist pursuit of mood and form over literal detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary frame finished in a muted champagne-silver tone. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Grove in Repose

    Grove in Repose

    £510

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling abstract landscape with figures composition, painted in oil  in 1946 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    A loose procession of trees stands across a gently undulating terrain, their elongated trunks and clustered canopies forming rhythmic vertical accents against an expansive, open ground. The composition suggests a quiet pathway or clearing, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.

    Small yet effective in its composition, the artist balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing the trees and landforms to emerge through simplified silhouettes and gestural marks. The scene feels atmospheric rather than descriptive, prioritising mood and spatial harmony over precise detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained, featuring soft sandy browns, muted greens, and warm earth tones, offset by cooler hints of blue-grey and. Subtle variations in tone create depth while maintaining a cohesive, meditative calm throughout the composition.

    The brushwork is expressive, with dry-brush textures and broken strokes allowing the raw canvas to breathe through the paint layers. Areas of loose stippling and softened edges lend the trees a sense of movement and presence, while the open ground is rendered with broader, horizontal sweeps that enhance the painting’s quiet, expansive atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows scuffs and signs of age, with some areas of gilding chipped away, consistent with its age.

    £400

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate mid-century landscape that captures a quiet grove of slender trees emerging through a veil of winter haze, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Three distinct trunks: one cool blue, one pale ivory, and one warm reddish-brown – stand gently apart, their forms softened by the atmospheric frost and mist that envelop the scene. The composition conveys a sense of calm solitude, as if the landscape itself has fallen into a moment of suspended breath.

    Rendered in a restrained, poetic palette of icy blues, muted lavenders, silvery greys, and mossy greens, the painting reflects mood and abstraction over strict realism. The background dissolves into layered washes of colour, suggesting distant forms and frozen ground without overt definition.

    The artist has used loose, expressive brushwork, combining thin, translucent layers with areas of thicker impasto. Vertical strokes elongate the trees, lending them a graceful, almost calligraphic presence, while scumbled textures and softly blended passages create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

    Overall, the work achieves a delicate balance between representation and abstraction, evoking the emotional resonance of a winter landscape rather than its precise physical details.

  • Coastal Quietude

    Coastal Quietude

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene mid-century landscape that captures a quiet coastal scene defined by openness, balance, and gentle geometry, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A pale winding pathway leads the viewer’s eye through a soft green foreground toward a tranquil shoreline and expansive horizon beyond. Two slender trees stand as quiet sentinels at the centre of the composition, their vertical forms offering a subtle counterpoint to the horizontal bands of land, sea, and sky. On the left, a gently rising bluff adds structure and depth, while rounded, sculptural foliage frames the scene with a sense of intimacy.

    The painting is executed in a modernist, semi-abstracted style characteristic of mid-century landscape painting, where natural forms are simplified into harmonious blocks of colour and shape. The artist prioritises mood and spatial clarity over fine detail, creating a composition that feels both contemplative and timeless.

    The colour palette is fresh and calming, composed of cool sky blues, soft sea greys, and layered greens ranging from muted sage to deeper forest tones. The sandy pathway is rendered in warm, pale cream, providing contrast and guiding visual movement throughout the work. These balanced tones evoke the quiet stillness of a coastal morning or early afternoon.

    Brushwork is deliberate and structured, with visible, confident strokes that build form through layered colour rather than blended transitions. The foliage is constructed with confident, blocky applications of paint, while the sky and distant water are handled more smoothly, reinforcing the sense of atmospheric depth.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined wood frame with an inner silver border. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has small scuffs and marks, also consistent with age.

  • Mediterranean Escape

    Mediterranean Escape

    Sold

    SOLD

    A well executed mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape is rendered in broad, expressive brushstrokes with a modern, impressionistic touch. It captures a seaside scene full of warmth, movement, and coastal charm.

    The foreground is dominated by lush green foliage, painted with bold, confident strokes. The greens vary in hue, creating depth and rhythm.

    A whitewashed building with an orange-tiled roof is partially obscured by greenery. This architectural touch gives the scene a sense of place, suggesting somewhere Southern Europe.

    Behind the building, a sliver of deep blue sea stretches across the canvas, meeting the sky and separated by rocky coastal formations and windswept trees, their simplified, curved forms bending toward the sea.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and painterly, favouring emotion and movement over precision. The artist uses a limited but harmonious palette of greens, creams, ochres, blues, and terracotta, invoking the feel of a hot, breezy afternoon.

    This oil on canvas is set in an elegant linen and silver frame, lightly textured, which adds a touch of refinement while echoing the sun-bleached tones of the scene. The painting is excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age marks to the linen border.

  • Folk Flowers

    Folk Flowers

    Sold

    SOLD

    A beautifully crafted Flemish tapestry artwork, dated 1977.

    It is a vibrant and bold floral textile artwork, rich in colour, symmetry, and folk tradition. It showcases a decorative arrangement of three stylised flowers, each distinct in form and bursting with personality.

    Set against a deep black background, the colours appear especially vivid and dramatic.

  • Lily of the Valley & Jug

    Lily of the Valley & Jug

    £775

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined contemporary still life that presents a carefully orchestrated arrangement of everyday forms rendered with clarity and restraint, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre rests a tall ceramic jug in warm earthy tones of chocolate brown and muted taupe, its simplified silhouette outlined in confident dark contours. Beside it lies a single slice of pale green fruit, its circular form offering a gentle counterpoint to the vertical presence of the vessel.

    In the foreground, a sprig of lily of the valley stretches gracefully across a bold orange rectangular dish. The delicate white blossoms and rich green leaves introduce an organic softness, their gentle curves and natural rhythm contrasting beautifully with the structured geometry of the surrounding objects. Behind them, subtle blocks of beige, cream, and soft grey form a quiet architectural backdrop, suggesting interior space without distraction.

    Stylistically, the painting draws on contemporary modernist sensibilities, where representation is simplified and forms are reduced to their essential shapes. The composition balances geometry and nature, solidity and delicacy, creating a sense of stillness and introspection. The palette is restrained yet expressive – warm neutrals, earthy browns, and muted greens punctuated by the confident accent of yellow – evoking both warmth and compositional clarity.

    The brushwork is controlled and deliberate, with smooth, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Clean edges and defined contours reinforce the structural integrity of each object, while subtle tonal shifts within the surfaces add depth and quiet dimensionality. The result is a refined and contemplative work, celebrating the quiet beauty found in simple arrangements and everyday objects.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with gently recessed inner mouldings and a delicate carved detail that runs along the inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown.

  • Pear Arrangement

    Pear Arrangement

    £945

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and characterful interior still life composition executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet very effective in its composition, this still life presents a carefully arranged grouping of pears, a ceramic vessel, and a jug rendered with clarity, charm, and a distinctly modern sensibility. The composition centres on two luminous green pears nestled in a scalloped turquoise bowl, accompanied by a fourth pear in the foreground and a halved pear resting nearby. To the right, a sculptural brown jug anchors the scene with a grounded solidity, while a single stylised leaf rises elegantly from a pear against a radiant golden backdrop, dotted with rhythmic points of light.

    The artist has employed a flattened perspective, where spatial depth is secondary to shape, balance, and decorative harmony. Forms are simplified into bold silhouettes and geometric masses, giving each object a sculptural presence. The background is thoughtfully divided into zones of warm gold, soft neutral tones, and rich terracotta red, creating a structured yet lively interplay between colour fields.

    The palette is vibrant yet controlled, featuring fresh green pears contrasted against a warm, earthy table surface and a glowing mustard-gold backdrop. The cool turquoise of the bowl provides a refreshing counterpoint, while the deep brown jug introduces tonal weight and balance. The dotted golden background adds a playful, almost textile-like quality, enhancing the painting’s decorative appeal.

    Executed in tempera, the brushwork is smooth and precise, with a matte, velvety surface typical of the medium. Edges are clean and deliberate, emphasising contour and form rather than painterly gesture. Subtle tonal variations within the pears and jug provide volume without disrupting the overall graphic clarity. The result is a work that feels both intimate and confidently composed – celebrating everyday objects through the lens of mid-century design, where simplicity, colour, and form coexist in harmonious balance.

    This tempera on board is presented in a beautifully complementary gilt frame with a deep profile, and with a striking green velvet inner border that creates a strong visual contrast. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks present to its top edge as shown.

  • Hills in Reverie

    Hills in Reverie

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century modernist abstracted landscape that presents a serene pastoral vista distilled into rhythmic sweeps of colour and gesture, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    The composition evokes rolling countryside rendered not through precise detail, but through impressionistic suggestion – where a gently sloping hill rises confidently across the centre, its curved mass anchoring the scene. In the foreground, luminous yellow fields stretch outward in broad passages, while clusters of softly suggested shrubs and earth tones create quiet interruptions across the terrain. To the right, two tall, slender vertical forms- reminiscent of cypress trees – stand like sentinels, introducing a quiet architectural presence against the openness of the land. The sky recedes in soft atmospheric layers, suggesting a fleeting moment of warm light as day gives way to evening.

    The style embodies the essence of mid-century modernist landscape abstraction, where form is simplified into essential shapes and expressive mark-making. Rather than striving for realism, the artist captures the emotional resonance of place. The sweeping, curved hill is rendered almost sculpturally, its mass built through confident, continuous strokes that emphasise movement and volume. There is a harmonious balance between abstraction and recognition – the landscape feels both real and remembered, filtered through sensation rather than observation.

    The palette is fresh and uplifting, dominated by layered greens ranging from mint and sage to deeper emerald tones. These are complemented by glowing passages of buttery yellow and warm ochre in the foreground, suggesting sunlit grasses. The sky transitions through soft pale blues, creamy whites, and hints of peach and apricot near the horizon, introducing warmth and atmosphere.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible, painterly strokes applied with confidence and immediacy. Thick, sweeping gestures define the hills, while shorter, curved dabs suggest foliage and texture. The surface carries a lively energy, revealing the artist’s hand and the spontaneity of execution.

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

  • Coastal Fields

    Coastal Fields

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing mid-century modernist landscape that distils the essence of a coastal countryside into a harmonious arrangement of simplified forms and tonal planes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    Rolling fields stretch gently toward a distant shoreline, where muted hills dissolve into a tranquil horizon beneath a softly weathered sky. A cluster of whitewashed structures sits quietly within the terrain, offering a subtle human presence amid the expansive natural setting.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the composition reflects the mid-century inclination toward abstraction while remaining grounded in the landscape tradition. The artist has reduced the scenery into layered, geometric passages, allowing the rhythm of land and sea to unfold through balanced shapes rather than literal detail. This approach creates a sense of calm structure and contemplative stillness, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as both place and memory.

    The colour palette is beautifully subdued and earthy, featuring sandy ochres, pale sage greens, chalky creams, and deep olive tones. These are complemented by a band of muted teal and blue along the horizon, suggesting distant water or sky.

    The brushwork is textural yet controlled, with areas of dry brush and impasto that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge through the paint surface. Edges are softly broken and irregular, lending the composition an organic, tactile quality. This interplay between material texture and simplified form enhances the painting’s atmospheric presence, embodying the quiet elegance and thoughtful restraint characteristic of mid-century modernist landscape painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a refined and well-suited frame with gilt mouldings and an inner linen window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A charming mid-century interior painting that captures the serene presence of a masonry fireplace, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1968.

    The fireplace stands centrally, its sculptural form softened by rounded contours and pale plaster surfaces, suggesting both warmth and architectural dignity. To the left, an open doorway reveals a glimpse of an adjoining room. A narrow woven runner stretches across the floor, guiding the eye horizontally and grounding the composition in the rhythm of everyday life. Simple fireplace tools rest quietly beside the hearth, reinforcing the intimate domestic atmosphere.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the artist balances representation with subtle abstraction. Forms are simplified yet retain their essence, allowing structure and light to take precedence over intricate detail. The composition feels calm and deliberate, with an emphasis on spatial harmony and gentle geometry.

    The colour palette is soft and muted, composed of chalky whites, warm creams, pale sage greens, and cool greys, accented by dusty blues and understated earthy browns within the firebox. These tones create a tranquil, contemplative mood, evoking diffused daylight and the quiet comfort of interior spaces during colder seasons.

    Brushstrokes are visible and tactile, applied with a confident yet delicate hand. The paint surface reveals subtle layering, with thin washes and lightly textured passages that allow the weave of the canvas to emerge. Edges are softly blended rather than sharply defined, lending the work a dreamlike softness. The artist’s handling of light and form conveys both immediacy and restraints.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

  • Chromatic Constellation

    Chromatic Constellation

    £560

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and energetic abstract composition where colour, movement, and gesture converge in a dynamic visual dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The surface is alive with bold, biomorphic forms and spontaneous splashes that seem to hover and collide within an expansive field of pale cerulean blue. Large organic shapes in saturated green, deep ultramarine, mustard yellow, and inky black anchor the composition, while vivid red splatters and fine white linear streaks cut across the canvas like bursts of energy or fleeting trajectories.

    At the heart of the painting, a luminous circular yellow form radiates warmth and presence, acting as both focal point and counterbalance to the surrounding asymmetrical shapes. The artist masterfully juxtaposes areas of dense opacity with translucent washes, creating depth and rhythm. Smaller droplets of silver-grey and scattered pigment add a sense of cosmic randomness, enhancing the impression of movement and spontaneity.

    The brushwork ranges from smooth, deliberate blocks of colour to expressive drips, splashes, and flicked paint which are hallmarks of Abstract Expressionist technique. Thick, gestural strokes coexist with fluid pours and delicate splatters, revealing the artist’s physical engagement with the canvas. The layering of pigment creates subtle textures and visual tension, inviting the viewer to explore the painting’s surface and uncover new relationships between form and colour.

    Overall, the painting evokes a sense of joyful immediacy and intuitive creation. It is an orchestration of colour and gesture that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional.

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

  • Geometric Harvest

    Geometric Harvest

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking modernist still life that presents a vibrant arrangement of fruit abstracted into a dynamic composition of intersecting planes and softened geometry, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

    The familiar forms of citrus and rounded vessels are deconstructed and reassembled into a rhythmic interplay of curves, arcs, and angular shapes, inviting the viewer to experience the still life as both object and structure. Rather than depicting fruit in literal terms, the artist captures its essence through balance, weight, and spatial tension.

    Executed in a refined modernist style, the composition reflects the influence of Cubism and post-war abstraction, where form and colour take precedence over realism. Overlapping shapes create depth while maintaining a flattened picture plane, lending the work a quiet architectural quality. The arrangement rests within a harmonious equilibrium, suggesting careful deliberation and confident restraint.

    The palette is both playful and sophisticated, featuring soft pastel tones of peach, lemon yellow, sage green, muted lilac, and warm coral, contrasted with grounding passages of charcoal, slate grey, and black. These colours are thoughtfully distributed across the surface, allowing light tones to advance and darker forms to anchor the composition.

    Brushwork is smooth and controlled, with areas of matte, even application that emphasise the clarity of form. Subtle variations in opacity and tone reveal the artist’s hand, while clean edges between colour fields enhance the geometric precision. The surface possesses a quiet tactility, reinforcing the contemplative nature of the work.

    Overall, this painting exemplifies the mid-century modernist pursuit of harmony between abstraction and representation, transforming an everyday still life into a refined study of form, colour, and compositional balance.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a unique and well-suited wood frame featuring a wide, softly textured border in a warm tone. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age-appropriate marks which do not detract from its overall presentation.

  • Earth and Air

    Earth and Air

    Sold

    SOLD

    A beautifully restrained mid-century abstract landscape that distils the essence of open countryside into a series of quiet, expressive gestures, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition unfolds horizontally, suggesting rolling fields and distant hills softened by atmosphere and distance. Rather than describing a specific place, the artist captures the feeling of land, its stillness, breadth, and gentle undulation.

    The palette is subtle and earthy, dominated by layered greens ranging from moss and olive to brighter, more luminous passages that suggest fresh grass or sunlight breaking through cloud. These tones are grounded by muted browns, evoking soil and natural terrain, while soft washes of pale grey and off-white above create a vast, overcast sky. A darker, almost charcoal passage to the right anchors the composition, providing contrast and visual weight.

    The brushwork is loose, gestural, and confident. Broad horizontal strokes define the landscape planes, while thinner, vertical marks in the foreground suggest grasses or reeds, lending a sense of immediacy and texture. Areas of exposed ground and visible canvas contribute to the painting’s modernist sensibility, allowing the viewer to witness the artist’s process and movement. The application alternates between opaque and translucent layers, creating depth while maintaining an airy openness.

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a well-suited champagne frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • The Act of Seeing

    The Act of Seeing

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century figurative portrait that captures a quiet, introspective moment as a woman stands in profile, gently parting a patterned curtain, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1948.

    Her posture is poised yet intimate, suggesting both observation and hesitation – as though she stands between interior life and the world beyond. A window behind her opens onto a soft, distant landscape, reinforcing a sense of contemplation and transition.

    Rendered in an expressive, painterly style, the work embraces loose, gestural brushwork that prioritises emotion over precise realism. The figure is constructed through layered strokes of cool blues, muted greys, and soft creams, with touches of rose and pale green animating the contours of her face and clothing. The curtain introduces rhythmic vertical zigzags and organic shapes in earthy reds, blues, and blacks, creating a striking contrast against the cooler tones of the interior. This interplay of colour and pattern brings both movement and structural tension to the composition.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are confident and spontaneous, with visible, energetic marks that give the surface vitality. Areas of thinner, translucent paint sit alongside thicker, more textured passages, allowing the underlayers to breathe through and enhancing the sense of immediacy. The figure itself is softly modelled, with edges dissolving into the surrounding space, reinforcing the emotional atmosphere rather than strict form.

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

  • The Gathering Hill

    The Gathering Hill

    Sold

    SOLD

    An enchanting mid-century naïve style street scene composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This painting presents a stylised street scene set against a radiant orange hillside, where a rhythmic procession of figures moves quietly along a winding path. Above them, a constellation of small, brightly coloured houses – each with red roofs and dark punctuated windows – rests across the slope like watchful sentinels. A solitary tree stands to one side, its simplified form lending balance and anchoring the composition within an imagined, almost dreamlike terrain. Below the path, tall, slender flowers rise in neat formation, reinforcing the painting’s sense of order, ritual, and gentle continuity.

    Executed in a naïve, folk-inspired style, the work embraces deliberate simplicity and symbolic clarity over realism. The figures with elongated silhouettes are rendered with minimal detail. The houses, reduced to geometric blocks, and the evenly spaced floral motifs contribute to a harmonious, almost ceremonial rhythm across the canvas.

    The colour palette is both bold and luminous, dominated by warm tones of burnt orange, amber, and ochre that saturate the landscape with warmth and intensity. These glowing hues are contrasted by jewel-like accents of cobalt blue, forest green, and deep brown within the houses, while flashes of red in the rooftops and flowers punctuate the composition with vitality. The sky, rendered in muted rust tones, enhances the sense of enveloping warmth and creates a cohesive atmospheric envelope.

    Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and tactile, lending texture and dimensionality to the surface. The paint is applied with expressive freedom – sweeping and layered across the hillside, while more deliberate, smaller strokes define architectural details and figures. This material presence of paint reinforces the work’s authenticity and emotional immediacy.

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

  • Suspended Dialogues

    Suspended Dialogues

    Sold

    SOLD

    An intriguing and engaging abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2009 by contemporary Swedish artist Pontus Carle (b.1955).

    This abstract composition unfolds as a lively visual conversation, where floating forms and intersecting marks appear suspended in a shallow, atmospheric space. Suggestive rather than literal, the painting hints at figures, tools, and architectural fragments without ever settling into a fixed narrative. Shapes drift, overlap, and counterbalance one another, creating a sense of movement and quiet tension across the surface.

    Executed in a contemporary abstract style with subtle echoes of mid-century modern abstraction, the work balances spontaneity with control. Linear elements cut decisively through softer, rounded forms, while areas of transparency allow underlying layers to gently emerge. The composition feels intuitive and playful, yet carefully orchestrated.

    The colour palette is restrained but expressive, anchored by soft greys and off-whites, and punctuated with confident accents of black, ochre, mustard yellow, coral, teal, and muted blue. These touches of colour animate the surface, guiding the eye rhythmically across the canvas.

    Brushstrokes range from broad, gestural sweeps to delicate, calligraphic lines. Some passages are thin and translucent, revealing earlier decisions beneath, while others are more opaque and textural, lending depth and visual contrast. The result is a dynamic, layered painting that rewards close inspection and invites ongoing interpretation

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary slim white frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The work is in very good condition overall. There is a small dent located in the middle of the surface, which is subtle and does not detract from the overall visual impact.

  • Waiting at the Door

    Waiting at the Door

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century painting that captures a quiet residential moment, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A composition centres on a modest house set behind a picket fence, with a gently curving road leading the eye into the distance. A solitary figure stands in the doorway, rendered with deliberate ambiguity, lending the scene a subtle narrative tension: part welcome, part pause.

    The composition is deceptively simple yet carefully balanced, with strong geometric forms anchoring the house while softer, organic shapes emerge in the surrounding greenery. In the background, distant buildings dissolve into muted silhouettes, reinforcing a sense of calm isolation

    The palette is restrained and harmonious, dominated by soft greens, light blues, pale sage, and warm earthy browns. Hints of muted red at the doorway provide a quiet focal point, adding warmth and human presence without overpowering the composition.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive. Paint is applied with confidence – broad, visible strokes define architectural planes, while lighter, more rhythmic marks suggest foliage and fencing. The surface retains a tactile quality, allowing the hand of the artist to remain present throughout.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An  atmospheric  interior scene that depicts a serene dining space where a sequence of arches opens into a softly illuminated space beyond, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1990.

    The composition draws the viewer inward, moving through shadowed passageways toward a sunlit interior. Beyond the shadowed foreground, tables and chairs are arranged in gentle clusters, hinting at a dining setting.  The absence of figures lends the scene a contemplative calm, inviting the viewer to imagine the quiet murmur of conversation and the play of light across tabletops.

    Executed in a classic mid-century modern style, the composition favours mood and structure over precise detail. Architectural forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing light and spatial rhythm to guide the eye inward. The palette is warm and restrained, dominated by earthy browns, deep umbers, and muted blues, offset by soft creams and browns that suggest sunlight filtering through the arched openings.

    The brushwork is expressive and layered, with confident, textured strokes that give the surface a rich, tactile quality. Thicker applications of paint define the arches and furniture, while looser, more gestural passages dissolve into shadow, creating depth and atmosphere.

  • Autumn Foothills

    Autumn Foothills

    Sold

    SOLD

    An atmospheric modernist landscape that presents a luminous autumn scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972.

    A broad sweep of golden aspens stretches across the foreground, punctuated by soft sage greens and warm earthen tones. Low rocky forms and russet soil anchor the composition at the front, leading the eye gently toward layered foothills and distant mountains rendered in cool blues, greys, and muted slate hues. The result is a tranquil, balanced view that feels both expansive and intimate.

    Modernist in its ethos, the painting emphasises simplified shapes, clear colour relationships, and an expressive rather than literal interpretation of nature. The landscape is structured in horizontal bands, giving the composition a calm, grounded rhythm, while loosely defined trees introduce vertical movement and visual interest.

    The palette is distinctly autumnal yet restrained – mustard yellow, brown, pale olive, and soft rust contrast beautifully with the atmospheric blues of the mountains and sky. These tonal shifts create depth while maintaining an overall harmony that is soothing and timeless.

    Brushwork is confident and tactile, with broad, painterly strokes and visible layering throughout. The foliage is built up with dabs and patches of colour, allowing the canvas texture to remain subtly present, while the mountains are handled with smoother, blended strokes that recede quietly into the background. Altogether, the painting carries a sense of ease and warmth, making it a classic and inviting example of mid-century landscape painting.

    The composition presents a road that winds gently through rolling hills toward distant blue-grey mountains. Slender cypress trees punctuate the scene, their vertical forms creating a calm rhythm against the open sky. Small, loosely suggested figures along the road lend a subtle sense of scale and movement, reinforcing the painting’s tranquil, unhurried mood.

    Executed in a modernist style, the landscape is simplified into broad shapes and planes, prioritising atmosphere and harmony over detail. The palette is soft and restrained: fresh greens and olive tones in the hills, warm browns and muted earth colours in the land, and cool blue-greys in the distant mountains. The sky is rendered in pale, airy blues with gentle cloud forms, lending the composition an overall lightness and sense of calm.

    Brushwork is loose and expressive, with visible strokes that softly blend rather than sharply define forms. The paint is applied with confidence, allowing texture to emerge subtly across the surface. This relaxed handling enhances the painting’s atmospheric quality.

  • Figure by the Window

    Figure by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD

    An intimate mid-century figurative painting that captures a solitary figure absorbed in a quiet, domestic task, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Positioned near a window, the figure leans forward with gentle concentration, their form partially silhouetted against a softly lit interior. The scene feels private and unguarded – a fleeting moment of everyday life observed without interruption.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the composition balances figuration with loose abstraction. Architectural elements – the window frame, wall planes, and floor – are suggested rather than defined, creating a sense of space through colour blocks and shifting perspectives rather than strict linear depth.

    The palette is restrained yet expressive, built from muted greens, soft yellows, warm creams, and earthy reds, with cooler blue-green tones anchoring the shadows. These colours subtly echo one another across the canvas, lending the work a harmonious, contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are confident and textured, applied in short, directional strokes that remain clearly visible throughout. The paint handling prioritises movement and atmosphere over fine detail, allowing the figure to emerge organically from the surrounding space. This tactile surface and expressive restraint are hallmarks of mid-century figurative painting, where emotion and form are conveyed through colour, rhythm, and gesture rather than precision.

    A quietly powerful work, this painting invites prolonged looking, revealing beauty in stillness, routine, and the poetry of ordinary moments.

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a complementary wide-profiled gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs that is consistent with age.

    £585

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking contemporary painting that presents a vibrant Japanese-themed still life celebrating the ritual of sushi and sake, executed in acrylic onto canvas and dated 2003.

    Four boldly coloured fish are arranged in a neat horizontal line across a yellow tabletop, evoking the careful presentation of sushi before it is served. They are accompanied by a sake bottle, matching cups, chopsticks, and a small dish of rice, creating a scene that feels ceremonial, abundant, and quietly joyful.

    The composition draws on Japanese visual traditions while remaining distinctly modern. Forms are simplified and stylised, with a graphic clarity that recalls both folk art and mid-century illustration. Decorative foliage frames the scene, adding movement and balance while subtly referencing nature.

    The colour palette is striking and playful. Rich reds, cobalt blue, deep forest green, and warm golden yellow are set against a soft sky-blue background and a creamy, sunlit tabletop. The high-contrast colours give the work a lively, contemporary energy, while black and white accents ground the composition and provide visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Fine line details and dotted highlights bring gentle depth and refinement to the surface without breaking the clean, graphic quality of the work. The overall effect is bold yet harmonious, a modern homage to Japanese dining culture, celebration, and shared moments at the table.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century painting presents a quiet street rendered through a modernist lens, where architectural forms unfold along a gently receding road, and  executed in oil onto board.

    Arched doorways, small staircases, and balcony details hint at a southern European setting, while stylised trees punctuate the scene with a sense of warmth and calm. The composition draws the eye inward, inviting the viewer to wander through this tranquil, almost dreamlike streetscape.

    This structured work shows clear Cubist and geometric abstract influences, particularly in the faceted treatment of buildings and ground planes. Forms are broken into angular segments and overlapping geometric shapes, flattening perspective while simultaneously creating depth.

    A muted yet expressive palette anchors the composition, with warm terracotta, blush pink, sandy beige, and soft browns tones contrasted against cool greys and dusty blues. Accents of green in the foliage introduce freshness and visual rhythm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and purposeful, applied in broad, confident planes rather than fine detail. The layered paint application enhances the faceted Cubist structure, with tonal shifts used to suggest light, shadow, and architectural depth. The surface retains a gently textured, painterly quality that adds warmth and movement to the geometric composition.

    Stormy Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD

    A brilliantly executed contemporary abstract composition, executed in acrylic onto canvas, by British artist Frances Daws.

    Stormy Mountains is a modern landscape which captures both the drama and serenity of the open horizon. The strong gestural brushstrokes suggests a landscape of rolling hills, or sand dunes while the warm earthy tones bring about a sense of depth and movement, contrasting with the cool, blue and grey sky.

    Whilst under the understanding this is an imagined landscape it invites the viewer to slow down and draw on their own memories of place.

    Both the painting and frame are in excellent condition. The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and signature on the reverse.

  • Houses by the Sea

    Houses by the Sea

    £485

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A serene and atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a quiet coastal scene viewed from a gently rising hillside, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Two angular, red-roofed houses sit nestled into the land, their simple forms silhouetted against a wide expanse of luminous blue sea. The composition draws the eye naturally from the darker, earth-toned foreground up toward the glowing horizon, creating a strong sense of depth and calm.

    Stylistically, the painting reflects mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified architecture, balanced geometry, and an emphasis on mood over fine detail. The houses are rendered with bold, confident shapes, while surrounding trees and foliage are loosely suggested rather than precisely defined. This restraint gives the work a timeless, contemplative quality.

    The colour palette is both rich and harmonious. Deep greens, mossy browns, and muted browns dominate the foreground, contrasted beautifully by the saturated cobalt and ultramarine blues of the sea. Above, a soft, sunlit sky in pale yellows and creams introduces warmth and light, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Subtle flashes of orange and red in the buildings act as focal points within the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive yet controlled. The sky is built up with soft, layered strokes that create a gentle, luminous texture, while the landscape below features broader, more gestural marks, allowing colours to blend and breathe. The overall paint application feels confident and painterly, capturing both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited linen lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Drift at Low Tide

    Drift at Low Tide

    Sold

    SOLD

    An atmospheric modernist style coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline at low tide, where land, sea, and sky dissolve gently into one another, executed in oil onto board and dated 1978.

    The composition is horizontally layered, with a wide, luminous sky pressing softly down onto a narrow band of distant water and a foreground of windswept beach and tidal flats. The scene feels expansive yet intimate, evoking the stillness of a pause between weather or the calm after movement.

    The style is distinctly mid-century modern, leaning toward abstraction while remaining rooted in observation. Forms are simplified and loosely defined, allowing atmosphere and mood to take precedence over detail. The horizon line is slightly softened, reinforcing a sense of openness and distance.

    The colour palette is restrained and harmonious. Pale blues, soft greys, and milky whites dominate the sky, creating an airy, light-filled backdrop. The sea is rendered in muted blue-green tones with darker accents suggesting gentle wave movement. In the foreground, earthy rusts, warm browns, sandy creams, and touches of olive and slate introduce warmth and texture, grounding the composition.

    Brushstrokes are expressive and confident, applied with broad gestures. Thick, layered paint creates a tactile surface, particularly in the foreground, where sweeping strokes suggest sand, rock, and shallow water without literal detail. The sky is handled more softly, with blended strokes that enhance the painting’s calm, atmospheric quality.

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

  • Spider Monkey

    Spider Monkey

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemporary painting depicting a whimsical monkey poised on a gently curving tree branch, painted in oil on panel in a naïve style by British artist Matt Rix.

    The figure moves with a quiet assurance, its elongated limbs and arched tail creating a sense of rhythm and balance across the composition. Stylised leaves punctuate the scene, floating lightly around the figure and reinforcing the open, uncluttered setting.

    The style is intentionally naïve and pared back, with flattened forms and simplified anatomy that echo folk art influences. The colour palette is soft and restrained: a pale blue-grey ground sets a calm tone, while deep charcoal and black define the figure, offset by a light cream face. Muted olive greens and warm brown accents add gentle contrast.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled with a matte finish, emphasising shape and line over texture. The overall effect is calm and gently playful, capturing a moment of quiet movement and balance.

    This oil on board is housed in a black painted wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.

    Sloth

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemporary painting depicting a sloth gently clinging to a curved tree branch, painted in oil on panel in a deliberately naïve style by British artist Matt Rix.

    The figure is shown at rest, its rounded body and elongated limbs wrapped comfortably around the branch. A few stylised leaves float nearby, suggesting nature without defining a specific setting.

    The style is intentionally naïve and pared back, with flattened forms and simplified anatomy that draw on folk art influences. The sloth’s softly expressive face adds warmth and approachability.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious. A pale blue-grey background creates a serene atmosphere, while warm brown tones define the sloth and branch. Soft olive greens appear in the leaves, providing gentle contrast without disrupting the overall calm.

    Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled with a matte finish, emphasising shape and line over texture. The overall effect is tranquil and subtly whimsical, capturing a moment of rest and balance that feels both tender and contemplative.

  • Hanging Sloth

    Hanging Sloth

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemporary painting that presents a whimsical depiction of a sloth suspended upside down from a gently curving tree branch , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    The composition is pared back, allowing the single figure to become both the focal point and the emotional anchor of the work. Sparse foliage punctuates the scene, floating around the sloth like pauses in thought, reinforcing a sense of stillness and calm.

    The style is deliberately simplified, with a subtle nod to folk art and modern naïve painting. Flattened forms and soft contours give the subject an emblematic rather than literal presence, while the sloth’s rounded body and elongated limbs create a gentle rhythm across the board, anchored by the horizontal branch.

    A restrained, soothing palette of warm brown and taupe contrasts with a muted blue-grey background, accented by soft green leaves. Smooth, matte brushstrokes and a lightly textured surface enhance the contemplative mood of the piece.

    Hanging Spider Monkey

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemporary painting depicting a whimsical monkey suspended mid-air from a gently curving tree branch, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.

    Its long, slender limbs hang with an effortless ease, creating a moment that feels unhurried and quietly contemplative. A small number of stylised leaves drift through the composition, lending a sense of openness rather than a defined setting.

    The style is intentionally naïve and pared back, with flattened forms and simplified anatomy that echo folk art influences. The colour palette is soft and restrained: a pale blue-grey ground sets a calm tone, while deep charcoal and black define the figure, offset by a light cream face. Muted olive greens and warm brown accents add gentle contrast.

  • The Gathering Walk

    The Gathering Walk

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and lively mid century painting that captures a rhythmic gathering of figures moving through a tree-lined avenue toward a distant monument, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The scene feels communal and celebratory, suggesting a village gathering or a festival, rendered with an expressive looseness that prioritises mood and movement over precise detail.

    This expressive composition balances structure and spontaneity. The figures are simplified into bold, gestural forms, while the trees rise vertically on either side, creating a natural corridor that draws the eye inward. The architectural elements in the background anchor the scene, offering a quiet sense of place amid the animated crowd.

    The colour palette is vibrant and optimistic: fresh greens dominate the trees, contrasted by a striking pastel pink sky and soft blue undertones. Pops of red, coral, and cobalt animate the figures, lending energy and warmth to the composition. These colours are applied with confidence, often layered to allow underlying tones to remain visible.

    Brushstrokes are thick, textured, and deliberately expressive, with visible impasto throughout. Short, dynamic strokes define the crowd, while broader, more rhythmic marks shape the trees and sky. The overall effect is playful yet composed – a joyful, human-centred work that embodies optimism.

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

  • Walking Home Together

    Walking Home Together

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming mid-century naïve style street scene painting that captures a gentle moment of everyday life, as two figures walk side by side along a softly curving village road, executed in oil onto board.

    Modest houses with pitched roofs line the street, their forms simplified into harmonious blocks of colour, while a tall green fence guides the eye toward the distance. The figures, seen from behind, lend the composition a quiet intimacy and a sense of unspoken narrative – suggesting companionship, routine, and the calm rhythm of a small town.

    The work balances figurative detail with abstraction. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, and perspective is slightly naïve, giving the scene an almost memory-like quality.

    The palette is soft yet expressive: muted blues, sage greens, and warm browns are offset by gentle greys and creamy whites. Occasional accents of pastel pink and lavender add warmth and visual interest without disrupting the overall calm.

    Loose, confident brushstrokes are applied with visible texture, particularly in the road and building facades. The paint handling feels intuitive and painterly, with layered strokes that create movement and depth while maintaining a relaxed, unpolished charm.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner white border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Blue Cup

    Still Life with Blue Cup

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century still life that presents a calm tabletop arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts two ceramic jugs, a small blue cup, and a pair of apples – set against a simplified interior backdrop. The composition feels intimate and considered, with each form carefully spaced to create balance and quiet rhythm across the horizontal canvas.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has reduced the objects to solid, gently rounded forms, emphasising structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the shapes to sit confidently within the picture plane rather than receding deeply into space.

    The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: cool blues and soft greys dominate the vessels and background, contrasted by the warm yellow-green and blush tones of the apples. A muted green tabletop anchors the composition, while deeper blue shadows add depth and visual weight without disturbing the overall calm.

    Brushstrokes are visible and softly textured, lending the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are slightly softened rather than sharply defined, giving the scene a relaxed, contemplative mood. Together, the colours and brushwork evoke a sense of domestic stillness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen and gilt border. The painting itself is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some small water marks to its innermost parts, consistent with its vintage character.

  • Blue Vessel & Pears

    Blue Vessel & Pears

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and characterful mid-century interior still life composition executed in tempera on board and dated 1973, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    This painting is a delightfully surreal take on the still life tradition, blending bold, simplified forms with quirky, dreamlike elements. The scene is playful, symbolic, and quietly strange—a fusion of everyday objects rendered with unexpected relationships and theatrical lighting.

    The central object is a bright turquoise vase, strikingly vivid against the darker tones behind it. Surrounding the vase are five stylised green pears, arranged in a semi-circle, each casting exaggerated shadows. In the background, there’s a small arched window or doorway revealing a surreal landscape of red and ochre mountains under a light sky, creating a window into a different visual world.

    The painting has a surrealist influence, reminiscent of artists like Magritte or de Chirico, where ordinary objects are placed in unusual contexts.

    Executed in tempera, the work exhibits smooth, matte surfaces with crisp, clean edges. The artist embraces a distinctly modernist, slightly naïve style: simplifying forms, minimising perspective, and emphasising bold, graphic colour fields. The brushwork is controlled and even, lending a refined clarity to each element within the composition.

    This tempera on board is presented in a gilt frame that elevates the work with a sense of classical elegance. The artwork is further enhanced by a sage green mount, which beautifully complements the warm tones of the table and pears while making the central blue vase pop even more. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The mount has marks to its bottom edge, and the frame has some slight wear to its corners but this does not  detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Fields at First Light

    Fields at First Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tranquil mid-century landscape that presents a serene, panoramic view of open countryside unfolding beneath a pale sky, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959, measuring a metre in length.

    Broad fields stretch gently into the distance, punctuated by a softly clustered stand of trees at the centre and a darker wooded horizon beyond. The composition’s horizontal emphasis enhances the sense of calm and quiet continuity, drawing the eye slowly across the land rather than toward a single focal point.

    Painted in a restrained mid-century modern style, the work favours atmosphere and balance over fine detail. The colour palette is subtle and harmonious: warm buttery yellows and soft ochres in the fields are offset by muted sage and olive greens, with blush and dusty rose tones delicately shaping the trees. Above, a pale, airy sky in washed blues and off-whites lends lightness and openness to the scene.

    Brushstrokes are loose and confident, applied in flattened planes with visible texture that gives the surface a gentle rhythm. The handling feels intuitive and expressive, allowing colours to softly merge at their edges while still maintaining a clear sense of structure. Overall, the painting captures a quiet, contemplative moment in nature.

    This long oil on canvas is housed in an elegant linen lined frame with an inner and outer gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    City Blocks

    £725

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century street scene that captures a pared-back urban landscape viewed through a distinctly modernist lens, painted in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Kurt Lindon (1910-1985), whose works can be found in the collections at the Stockholm City Museum, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Linköping Museum, Östersund Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, and the Borås Art Museum

    Low-rise buildings and taller rectangular forms are arranged in a calm, horizontal rhythm, punctuated by a slender vertical tower that anchors the composition. Sparse trees and simplified street elements suggest human presence without overt narrative, lending the scene a quiet, contemplative mood.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting favours structure and balance over detail. Architectural forms are reduced to blocks of colour, with an emphasis on proportion, negative space, and the interplay between verticals and horizontals. The perspective feels gently flattened, reinforcing the mid-century aesthetic and its departure from strict realism.

    The colour palette is subtle and sophisticated: soft greys, chalky whites, muted blues, olive greens, and warm earthy browns are offset by occasional touches of brick red and mustard. These tonal contrasts create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and calm.

    Brushstrokes are confident yet economical: broad, flat applications of paint define buildings and streets, while lighter, slightly textured strokes add movement and variation across the surface. The paint handling feels deliberate, allowing the composition and colour relationships to carry the emotional weight of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • A Pause Between Places

    A Pause Between Places

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking mid-century figurative landscape that captures a quiet, contemplative moment at the boundary between nature and the built environment, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    A group of abstracted figures sit near a winding path, their forms simplified yet expressive, while a pair of stylised trees rise beside them – curving, organic silhouettes that anchor the composition. In the distance, block-like architectural forms suggest a town or cityscape, softened and abstracted to create a sense of calm detachment rather than urban bustle.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern idiom, the painting balances figuration and abstraction with ease. The artist has used flattened planes, rhythmic shapes, and a gently asymmetrical composition to guide the eye through the scene. There is a lyrical, almost poetic quality to the arrangement, where figures, trees, and buildings coexist in quiet harmony.

    The palette is warm and nuanced, featuring soft creams, sandy beiges, pale blues, and blush tones, punctuated by deeper earthy browns, rust reds, olive greens, and muted teals. These contrasting yet harmonious colours lend the work both warmth and depth, while maintaining a light, airy atmosphere.

    Confident, visible brushstrokes define the surface, with areas of loose, gestural paint layered against more opaque, block-like applications. Subtle scraping and overlaps reveal underlayers of colour, adding texture and movement. The painterly approach enhances the sense of spontaneity and modernist freedom characteristic of mid-century works.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a slight unevenness to the board but this is purely structural and does not affect the stability or visual impact of the artwork.

    Patchwork Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive mid-century abstract landscape that presents a gently rolling countryside punctuated by a solitary red-roofed dwelling, nestled among tall, stylised trees executed in oil onto board.

    The scene is composed as a patchwork of interlocking fields and winding paths, drawing the eye inward through a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement of forms. The house becomes a quiet focal point – an anchor of human presence within a broader, cultivated landscape.

    The landscape has been reduced into geometric planes and simplified silhouettes. Perspective is subtly flattened, favouring structure and composition over naturalistic depth, lending the work a contemplative, design-led quality.

    The colour palette is earthy and restrained: moss and olive greens, warm browns, and burnt oranges dominate the terrain, while the vivid red roof provides a striking yet balanced contrast. Soft greys and subdued blues in the background create atmosphere and spatial calm.

    Brushstrokes are confident and matte, applied in broad, opaque blocks with visible edges. Rather than blending, the artist allows colours to sit alongside one another, enhancing the sense of construction and rhythm.

    This oil on board is housed in a softly weathered  grey-brown tone frame with subtle warm undertones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An atmospheric mid-century seascape that captures a tranquil harbour scene where moored fishing boats rest gently along the quay, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1953.

    The composition is anchored by two vessels, their masts and rigging forming a rhythmic lattice against a pale, open sky. A simple waterside building to the right introduces architectural balance, while the calm inlet reflects the boats in softened, broken tones, reinforcing the stillness of the moment.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours structure and mood over detail. Forms are simplified and confidently blocked in, lending the scene a quiet solidity and timeless charm.

    The colour palette is muted and harmonious, dominated by soft greys, weathered whites, warm and earthy browns, with subtle accents of black and a touch of brick red along the roofline. These tones suggest early morning light and a cool coastal air, while the water is rendered in pale blues and silvery reflections.

    Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and clearly visible, particularly in the sky and water, where layered strokes create movement and texture without disrupting the overall calm. Thicker applications of paint define the boats and quay, giving them tactile presence and depth.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with visible grain as well as an outer gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • A Moment at Sea

    A Moment at Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene and minimalist mid-century seascape that distils the vastness of the ocean into a moment of quiet contemplation, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A single, small vessel floats gently across an expansive field of calm water, its presence subtle yet poetic against the open horizon. The composition is deliberately minimal, inviting the viewer to linger on atmosphere rather than narrative, and evoking a sense of solitude, balance, and slow passage of time.

    Executed in a restrained modernist style characteristic of mid-century painting, the work favours simplicity of form and clarity of mood over detail. The palette is dominated by soft blue-green and grey tones, gently modulated to suggest shifting light across the sea’s surface. Muted earth hues anchor the lower edge, subtly grounding the composition.

    The brushstrokes are smooth and controlled, with fine textural variations visible across the painted surface. Delicate tonal transitions create depth and movement within the otherwise tranquil plane of water, while the small, darker accents of the boat provide a quiet focal point. Altogether, the painting embodies the fascination with reduction, atmosphere, and the emotional power of understatement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs present.

    Passing Light (Reserved)

    £455

    Available

    RESERVED UNTIL 08/05/2026.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive mid-century figurative painting that captures a procession of elongated figures moving through a softly lit interior space, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Rendered with a dreamlike sense of motion, the figures appear to overlap and dissolve into one another, suggesting the quiet anonymity and rhythm of everyday life. One central figure, subtly more defined and luminous, anchors the composition and draws the viewer’s eye, creating a moment of pause amid the flow.

    There is an emphasis on mood and gesture over precise detail. Forms are simplified and slightly abstracted, lending the scene an introspective, almost existential quality reminiscent of post-war European figurative painting.

    The colour palette is restrained and atmospheric, dominated by warm creams, sand, soft browns, and muted greys, with gentle accents of pale blue and hints of earthy green. These tones enhance the painting’s sense of light and space, while maintaining a calm, contemplative mood.

    Brushstrokes are loose, layered, and expressive, with visible textures that give the figures a transient presence. The paint is applied with a dry, feathered touch in places, allowing the background to breathe through the forms, reinforcing the impression of movement and impermanence.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary warm, off-white tone frame that echoes the painting’s palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Calm Coast

    Calm Coast

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing mid-century coastal landscape that captures a quiet shoreline moment where 2 boats rest on pale sand as the tide gently recedes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    The coastline curves softly into the distance, leading the eye toward low hills and a scattering of seaside buildings that dissolve into the hazy horizon. The composition balances stillness and movement: the grounded boats anchoring the foreground while the waterline sweeps gracefully along the shore.

    Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the work favours simplification over detail. Forms are reduced to broad planes and subtle contours, lending the scene a calm, contemplative rhythm. The palette is restrained and harmonious, with soft sands, muted sage and olive greens, and cool coastal blues, all gently warmed by blush and sandy undertones.

    Brushstrokes are loose and expressive, applied in layered, painterly passages that create texture without heaviness. The surface retains a light, airy quality, with visible strokes lending a sense of immediacy and atmosphere. Overall, the painting evokes a serene coastal pause – timeless, understated, and deeply evocative of mid-century European seaside sensibilities.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in  excellent vintage condition.

  • After the Rain

    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 Piano

    The Piano

    Sold

    SOLD

    A contemplative painting dated 1978 that presents an upright piano reduced to its essential forms, transforming a familiar domestic object into a study of mood and structure, and executed in oil onto canvas.

    The instrument is shown front-on, its keyboard stretching horizontally across the composition, with an open book of sheet music hovering at the centre like a quiet focal point. Subtle hints of pedals below ground the piano in space, while the surrounding fields of colour dissolve the setting into something more psychological than literal.

    The work favours simplification over detail and atmosphere over realism. The piano’s solid mass is rendered in broad, blocky shapes, lending it a sculptural presence, while the perspective is gently skewed, adding a sense of introspection and stillness rather than strict accuracy.

    The colour palette is both restrained and expressive. Deep blacks and charcoal browns of the piano are softened by surrounding planes of olive green, moss, muted yellow, and a warm rust-red edge, creating a subtle tension between cool and warm tones. The white of the keys and sheet music emerges softly from the darker body, glowing rather than sharply contrasting.

    Brushstrokes are visible and deliberate, applied in layered, matte passages that flatten the surface while retaining texture. Edges are softened and slightly blurred, allowing forms to bleed gently into one another. This painterly handling enhances the quiet, contemplative mood of the piece, suggesting not sound or performance, but the pause before music begins – a moment of silence filled with potential.

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

  • House Beyond the Green

    House Beyond the Green

    Sold

    SOLD

    A quiet and serene mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting presents a small white house that sits partially hidden within dense, verdant foliage. Set back from the viewer and framed by trees, the dwelling feels both secluded and gently anchored to its surroundings. A band of water runs horizontally through the middle ground, separating the lush greens above from the warmer, earth-toned foreground, creating a subtle sense of depth and balance.

    The style is distinctly mid-century in its simplification of forms and emphasis on mood over detail. Architectural elements are reduced to essential shapes, while the landscape is expressed through broad planes of colour rather than precise delineation. The composition feels calm and introspective, inviting the viewer to linger in the stillness of the scene.

    The palette is rich yet harmonious: layered greens dominate the canvas, ranging from deep forest tones to lighter, almost luminous grassy hues. These are contrasted by a soft blue sky and water, which cool the composition, and a striking foreground of burnt orange and rust tones that adds warmth and visual weight.

    Brushstrokes are loose and painterly, with visible texture throughout. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest foliage and ground, allowing colours to blend organically at their edges. This tactile surface quality enhances the sense of atmosphere and reinforces the painting’s expressive, mid-century character.

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

  • Still Life with Mountain View

    Still Life with Mountain View

    £550

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative mid-century still life that presents a quiet interior moment set against a distant landscape,  painted in oil onto board.

    In the foreground, a tabletop arrangement of fruit: a crescent slice of watermelon, a rounded green melon, and a dark plum sits alongside a simple tumbler, all positioned before an open window with shuttered sides. Beyond the window, a sparse rural scene unfolds: whitewashed buildings, rolling fields, and softly contoured mountains receding into a muted horizon. The composition gently balances interior intimacy with exterior openness, inviting the viewer to linger between the domestic and the expansive.

    Stylistically, the work reflects classic mid-century modern sensibilities: simplified forms, flattened perspective, and a deliberate restraint in detail. The palette is calm and earthy – dusty greys, sage and olive greens, soft blues, and chalky whites – punctuated by the gentle blush pink of the watermelon flesh, which acts as a subtle focal point. Darker tones around the window frame and tabletop anchor the composition and create a sense of enclosure.

    The brushwork is expressive yet controlled. Broad, matte strokes define planes and objects, while visible brush marks lend the surface a tactile, painterly quality. Edges are softly articulated rather than sharply drawn, contributing to the work’s contemplative mood.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Green Apple with Glasses

    Green Apple with Glasses

    £720

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A refined mid-century still life that presents a quiet tabletop arrangement composed of a dark glass bottle, a delicate wine glass holding a small measure of red wine, and a vivid green apple,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a cool, muted background, the composition balances solidity and translucence, with the reflective tabletop subtly mirroring the forms above it. A secondary, shadowed bottle in the background adds depth and a sense of spatial calm, while loosely suggested vertical planes hint at an interior setting beyond the table’s edge.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist mid-century style, the painting favours simplified forms and tonal harmony over strict realism. The colour palette is restrained yet expressive: smoky blue-greys and slate tones dominate the background, offset by the rich emerald of the bottle, the jewel-like crimson of the wine, and the luminous, almost electric green of the apple. These carefully placed accents draw the eye and create a gentle visual rhythm across the surface.

    The brushwork is confident, with visible strokes lending texture and life to the painted surface. Broad, matte passages contrast with more fluid, translucent handling in the glassware, where light and reflection are suggested rather than meticulously detailed.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted wood frame with visible grain.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The White Doors

    The White Doors

    Sold

    SOLD

    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.

  • Sliced Lemons

    Sliced Lemons

    £765

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A cubist inspired still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The focal point is a pair of sliced lemons, painted in thick, creamy strokes of yellow, white, and peach, giving them a fresh, tactile presence. Beside the fruit is a green pear-like form, adding another organic shape and hue. These items rest on a dark surface, perhaps a tabletop, which is painted in large, angular blocks of navy and black.

    A small brown table or cabinet with short legs sits in the upper right quadrant. It appears simplified and stylised, reinforcing the abstracted, geometric quality of the whole scene.

    This piece is heavily influenced by Cubism and early modernism. Forms are reduced to flat planes and hard-edged shapes and the brushwork is confident but restrained. There is a visible grid-like structure as if the artist constructed the composition like a puzzle.

    The painting feels studied, measured, and designed, like an artist exploring how to deconstruct the familiar (fruit and furniture) into new visual language. It invites the viewer to slow down, observe form over realism, and enjoy the way light and space are broken into segments. The fractured composition gives it a slightly modern, mosaic-like effect, almost architectural in nature.

    The painting is housed in a light grey wood with a weathered patina and a gently bevelled design. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Dance the Night Away

    Dance the Night Away

    Sold

    SOLD

    A lively, cubist-inspired depiction of a dance scene, painted in oil onto board.
    Bursting with movement, music, and social energy, the artist has stylised the human figures into angular, geometric forms, using dynamic composition and vivid colour to capture the joy and motion of a moment frozen in time.

    The palette is warm and rich, dominated by reds, oranges, yellows, and earthy browns, contrasted with purples, greens, and soft greys. Movement is conveyed not just through the figures but through the background, which is fractured into diagonal planes, giving the scene energy and rhythm.

    The dance, the music, and the expressive poses suggest a night of uninhibited fun. This painting is a beautiful example of how modernist geometry and vibrant social scenes can merge into something timeless and full of spirit.

    This oil on board is housed in a wood frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some very light scuffing to the frame but it is  good condition overall.

  • Still Life Elements

    Still Life Elements

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

     A bold and stylised mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1955.
    Blending cubist and modernist influences, the composition is defined by strong, simplified shapes and vivid colour blocking, creating a playful yet structured visual experience. The painting features an arrangement of classic still life elements including a pitcher, a teapot, bottles, a cup, and several round red fruits. Bright green leaves sprawl across the foreground, adding organic curves against the sharper forms behind them.

    These pops of vibrant red in the fruit and rich green in the leaves create striking contrast. A triangular beam of yellow light or background wall shape adds dynamic energy and depth to the scene.

    The shadows are bold and geometric, not naturalistic, adding a graphic design-like quality that emphasises form over realism.

    This painting embraces a modernist abstraction of still life, similar in spirit to the work of Fernand Léger or early Picasso. It feels both playful and calculated, as if each shape is carefully placed like pieces in a visual puzzle. It also has a slightly theatrical feel, as if lit from stage lights, enhancing its sense of constructed drama.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a beautifully distressed vintage wood frame.  The painting has some areas of craquelure as shown in the photos but it is very stable overall. The frame has some scuffing, commensurate with age.

    The Open Window

    £490

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, serene and light-filled mid-century coastal scene viewed from an open window,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    This tranquil painting invites the viewer into a sunlit summer morning by the sea. The composition is framed by delicate, sheer curtains billowing gently inward, softening the transition between interior and exterior. Beyond the window lies a lush garden bursting with violet blue delphiniums and pale pink blooms, leading the eye toward a sparkling expanse of ocean where the sun casts a gentle shimmer across the water.

    Rendered in a soft, lyrical mid-century style, the palette is dominated by airy whites, fresh greens, pastel blues, and gentle pinks, creating a sense of calm and effortless charm. The artist has used light, feathery brushstrokes to capture the translucency of the curtains and the movement of the foliage, while smoother, blended strokes describe the distant horizon and glowing sky. Subtle impasto in the floral areas adds texture and depth, enhancing the sense of a garden alive with colour and breeze.

    A peaceful and evocative work that beautifully captures the nostalgia of coastal summers and the quiet poetry of a room opening onto nature.

  • Old Town

    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.

  • The Seamstress

    The Seamstress

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tender and expressive mid-century figurative scene,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a woman seated on a wooden chair, bent gently over her sewing, with a classic black sewing machine resting on a sturdy wooden table before her. Her posture conveys concentration and routine – an everyday ritual rendered with warmth and familiarity.

    The style is expressive and loose. Forms are suggested rather than defined, allowing the viewer’s eye to fill in the narrative. Soft, hazy outlines and impressionistic strokes give the composition a spontaneous, lived-in quality.

    The colour palette is warm and muted: blush pinks in the woman’s blouse, soft greys and taupes in her skirt, browns and light neutrals in the surrounding interior. Hints of red in her shoes and subtle greens and yellows in the background bring gentle vibrancy to the scene.

    Brushstrokes are confident and gestural – broad sweeps for the furniture, short textured strokes for fabric and hair, and looser scumbles to build the diffused light of the room. Together, they create a beautifully atmospheric study of everyday work, captured with grace and sensitivity.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Riverside Boulevard (Very large)

    Riverside Boulevard (Very large)

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and lively cityscape bursting with movement and colour, dated 1974 and painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    The scene centres around a pair of ornate towers rising from a bustling square, their facades animated with bright decorative motifs. Surrounding them, saturated-toned buildings with warm red roofs line the horizon, while to the right a gentle river curves through the city, complete with moored boats and strolling figures. Cars, pedestrians and flowing pathways fill the foreground, giving the scene an energetic, almost theatrical rhythm.

    Rendered in a highly expressive and fauvist style, the work embraces bold contour lines and playful distortion to convey atmosphere rather than strict realism. The palette is vibrant and uplifting: lemon yellow, turquoise, sky blue, coral, and soft reds creating a sun-drenched glow across the composition. Brushstrokes are loose, gestural and almost calligraphic, with dashes, swirls and rhythmic marks animating every surface. The result is a joyful, kinetic interpretation of urban life, full of colour and charm.

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet impactful mid-century figurative scene capturing two figures seated side by side and absorbed in an activity,  painted in oil onto canvas.

    The figures’ forms are simplified into soft blocks of colour, giving the composition a lyrical stillness: one figure in a warm rose-brown dress, the other rendered in deeper charcoal tones. Both bend slightly forward, hands engaged over a table, suggesting companionship, focus, and the quiet rituals of everyday life.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist, reductionist style, the artist has distilled the scene into broad, confident shapes rather than fine detail. The palette is muted yet harmonious: pale greys, warm browns, sandy yellows, and touches of turquoise that lift the composition. The background is kept intentionally understated, allowing the figures to hold the emotional weight of the piece.

    Brushstrokes are loose, expressive, and opaque: applied in thick, purposeful patches that gradually build the forms. Edges are softened, merging figure and space in a way that feels intimate and contemplative.

    Arrangement by the Window

    Sold

    SOLD

    A refined mid-century interior still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This composition arranges everyday objects into a poised, almost architectural tableau. A bowl of brightly coloured fruit anchors the scene, set upon a warm brown tabletop alongside two citrus forms and a slender candlestick. Above, a dark mortar and pestle sits against a softly diffused window, where vertical strokes evoke sheer curtains and architectural buildings. Along the lower register, abstract floral or fruit-like motifs echo the colours above, creating a rhythmic visual balance.

    Rendered in a modernist, reductive style, the painting favours simplified shapes and carefully weighted blocks of colour over fine detail. Softly scumbled brushstrokes and visible edges give the work a textural, atmospheric quality, while the artist’s palette – dusty blues, muted greys, warm ochres, soft greens, and small bursts of orange and yellow lends calmness punctuated by subtle vibrancy. The overall effect is contemplative and elegant, transforming a quiet domestic moment into a study of harmony, form, and mood.

    Winter Light at Dusk

    Sold

    SOLD

    An evocative mid-century modernist landscape scene with figure, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting captures a solitary figure standing before a quiet winter landscape as an orange sun dips low against a muted sky. The composition is distilled into simplified geometric forms: angular rooftops, rounded treetops, and broad planes of snow – creating a serene yet contemplative atmosphere.

    Rendered in cool tones of slate blue, charcoal, dove grey and icy white, the palette is beautifully punctuated by the warm, amber glow of the setting sun. The artist has used confident, stylised brushstrokes, outlining forms with inky, expressive lines that lend the scene a graphic clarity. Areas of flat colour are softened by subtle modulation, giving depth to the snowy fields and the silhouetted figure.

    The overall effect is both still and cinematic: a quiet winter moment reduced to its essential shapes, colours and mood, with a strong sense of restraint and poetic minimalism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful frame with a grey-wash wood grain finish. The painting in good vintage condition overall – with some marks and warp to the canvas.

  • Quiet Readers

    Quiet Readers

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene and beautifully distilled mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ingvar Elén (1915–1973), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Museum in Sweden, and the Sörmlands Museum.

    This composition features three seated figures, their forms reduced to soft geometric shapes and gentle interlocking silhouettes. Arranged in a subtle diagonal rhythm, the trio appears absorbed in quiet, individual focus: one reading, the others seated nearby – capturing a moment of shared stillness without explicit interaction.

    The artist has relied on flattened planes of colour and carefully balanced tones to define each figure: warm peach, deep teal, olive green, charcoal grey, ochre, and soft clay-like browns. The palette is harmonious and understated, allowing the shapes and spatial arrangement to take centre stage. Their shadows and clothing become abstract colour blocks, lending the work a sculptural, almost collage-like quality.

    Brushwork is smooth, matte, and subtly textured, with edges that are softened rather than sharply drawn. This creates a calm, meditative surface where each figure is distinct yet integrated into the overall rhythm of the composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition overall: there is some craquelure visible on the central figure’s arm, however, the paint layer remains stable, and this does not detract from the overall presentation of the work.

    Rendered in a modernist style, the painting favours simplified forms, bold shapes, and confident, gestural brushwork over fine detail. The palette is uplifting and crisp: vivid turquoise skies, velvety greens, sandy browns, and touches of warm terracotta on the rooftops.

    Broad, sweeping strokes convey the foliage with speed and spontaneity, while the smooth, curved brushwork of the path introduces calmness and flow. The overall effect is fresh and  optimistic, and captures the simple pleasure of a hillside walk.

    In the foreground, a seated figure in a deep navy jacket and soft blue beret rests a hand on the edge of a round cafe table, their form simplified into warm, tonal blocks of colour. Behind them, another figure is absorbed in reading, rendered with the same softened anonymity. A bright window view opens out to terracotta rooftops and a leafy green tree, bathing the interior in a gentle, diffused glow.

    Painted in a restrained, modernist style, the composition favours suggestion over detail. Colours are muted yet fresh – powder blues, sage greens, clay reds, and chalky neutrals form a harmonious palette. The brushwork is tactile and deliberate, with thick, confident strokes that create a pleasing sense of texture and movement. Figures and objects are shaped through broad patches of pigment rather than fine modelling, giving the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary linen lined frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pathway to the Sea

    Pathway to the Sea

    Sold

    SOLD

    A sunlit mid-century modernist landscape composition that exudes calm, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This charming coastal scene captures a quiet path leading toward the shimmering shoreline. Tall, slender trees frame the composition, their canopies rendered in cool greens and muted teals, gently swaying above the sandy walkway. A pale house sits nestled in the background, its warm ochre tones subtly contrasting with the cool blues of the distant sea and sky.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist style, the work features broad, confident blocks of colour and simplified forms, allowing atmosphere and light to take centre stage. The artist has used thick, textured brushstrokes: especially in the foliage – creating lively movement and softness at once. The palette is refreshing and serene: sea-blues, grassy greens, soft lilacs, sandy neutrals, and warm earth tones blend harmoniously to evoke a breezy, coastal afternoon.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Grounded Figure

    Grounded Figure

    Sold

    SOLD

    A striking example of mid century abstract expressionism, composed with a powerful arrangement of dark, geometric blocks layered over a pale, neutral background. It evokes a sense of architectural form and emotional depth, blending both structure and mood.

    The painting is built from overlapping angular shapes, creating a central form that resembles a figure. There is a dominant vertical element that draws the eye upward, almost like a shadowy  figure in motion.

    Deep blacks, earthy browns, and muted purples form the core structure. Subtle highlights of white, grey, and a touch of greenish-yellow offer contrast without overpowering the dark tones. The background is a soft, slightly textured white-beige, creating negative space that lets the central form breathe.

    The brushwork varies, with some areas roughly textured and dry-brushed, and others smooth and solid. This contrast in technique gives the piece visual rhythm and a sense of movement, even though the composition is largely still.

    The mood of the painting is introspective, solemn, and grounded. It feels like a study in form and presence, hinting at emotional or symbolic weight beneath the abstraction.

    This oil on board is presented in an elegantly understated frame with a weathered silver finish and a linen lined border, reflecting its mid century feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffing but this is commensurate with age.

  • Geometric Collage in Magenta

    Geometric Collage in Magenta

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    At the heart of the artwork is a vertical grid of six alternating squares—three light cream/beige and three darker maroon/burgundy, forming a checkerboard column. The varying texture of these squares displays the woven materials wonderfully, contrasting with the flatness of the background.

    The entire surface is a deep, muted red, subtly distressed to reveal horizontal striations and small imperfections. These faint abrasions and vertical marks break the uniformity, suggesting time, wear, and process.

    The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Dave’s artistic practice focuses on the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural and the human experience of geometric forms, surfaces and materials. Paintings and collages often embody a built or constructed aesthetic and are strongly influenced by architecture and the built environment, with the aim of suggesting visual encounters with structures and landscapes. Utilising and repurposing materials,  with a focus on minimal composition, surface and colour, Dave’s work seek to utilise the subtle marks inherent in objects that have been used and handled over many years.

    Centred in the upper half is a soft pinkish-orange circle, and in the lower half, a deep maroon or burgundy circle, both crisply defined but softly textured. The background is a heavily textured rust-brown surface, almost like oxidized metal or aged earth.

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    The board is coated in a fabric with a soft terracotta tone, with a gentle patina of age, scored with faint horizontal lines and slight textural inconsistencies. These marks give the surface a worn, handmade feeling.

    The composition features a precisely placed rectangle made up of six vertical blocks, arranged in two rows. The blocks alternate between cool and warm reds, dusty pinks, and maroons. Each has a varied textile texture, inviting tactile interpretation.

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame.

    A vertical grid of nine rectangles is perfectly centred. The blocks are painted or stained in muted natural tones—sage green, forest green, golden yellow, off-white, slate blue, and pale grey-green. Each block has a slightly different surface texture, reminded us of its textile origins.

    The grid is precisely placed against a horizontal division line running through the middle of the board. This intersection anchors the composition, giving it a feeling of structural harmony. There’s a sense of order meeting time-worn imperfection—a modernist grid laid over a surface that tells a more ancient, weathered story.

  • Quiet Cottage

    Quiet Cottage

    Sold

    SOLD

    A soothing and restful mid-century landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting depicts a low, whitewashed cottage with a dark, sloping roof nestled beside a solitary, leafless tree. The setting is open and windswept, with soft fields stretching into the horizon beneath a broad turquoise sky. The composition feels peaceful and understated, evoking the simplicity of countryside life.

    Rendered in a distinctly mid-century modernist manner, the work blends representational forms with stylised simplicity. Shapes are reduced to their essentials, and the artist favours bold outlines, flattened perspectives, and a calm, contemplative mood.

    A harmonious palette of cool turquoise and sky blue dominates the scene, contrasted with muted greens and earthy browns. The cottage’s crisp white walls create a striking focal point within the otherwise subdued and natural colour story.

    Broad, gestural strokes shape the land and sky, giving the painting an expressive, textured feel. The roof and tree are defined with looser, more directional strokes that add movement. Subtle layering and visible brushwork reinforce the work’s handmade, painterly charm.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary hessian-lined frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating and expressive mid-century figurative painting depicting two stylised figures standing in quiet dialogue, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Their forms are abstracted yet expressive – one slender and upright, the other broader with a gently tilted head, creating an intimate sense of interaction without relying on facial detail. The figures feel sculptural, almost totemic, evoking mood through posture rather than realism.

    Rendered in a bold modernist style, the composition embraces simplified shapes and a strong graphic presence. The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by orange, rust, deep umber, charcoal, and muted mustard yellows. These tones are set against a pale, softly luminous background that enhances the painting’s sense of warmth and immediacy.

    The brushwork is confident and textural, with broad, gestural strokes that give the figures weight and movement. Layered passages of paint create subtle ridges and variations, while the looser background wash keeps the scene airy and light. There is a raw, expressive quality to the application – intentional yet spontaneous.

    A striking piece with strong presence, emotional ambiguity, and a wonderful interplay of colour and form.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary rich, dark wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has slight widening to the corners, some scuffs, as well as four small drill holes present  in each corner of the frame.

  • Shoreline Colour

    Shoreline Colour

    Sold

    SOLD

    A mid-century coastal landscape that captures a cluster of moored boats rendered through a beautifully abstracted, almost mosaic-like lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The shoreline is broken into faceted blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic, geometric energy. Tall, slender masts rise in delicate lines against a soft pastel sky, while the boats themselves are simplified into angular shapes that evoke both structure and movement.

    The palette is fresh and inviting – greens, cool aquas, deep cobalt blues, warm yellows, and touches of plum and lavender. These colours overlap in gently textured layers, creating a harmonious interplay between land, sea, and shore.

    Brushwork is subtle yet expressive, with short, blocky strokes and light scumbling that mimic the look of hand-pressed prints or coloured pastels. The surface feels lively and tactile, lending the coastal scene a sense of breezy spontaneity while remaining distinctly modernist in its composition and restraint.

    A charming and quintessentially mid-century piece that celebrates coastal life through shape, rhythm, and colour.

  • Sunset Mosaic Coastline

    Sunset Mosaic Coastline

    Sold

    SOLD

    A vibrant and playful mid-century coastal landscape capturing the sun as it dips toward the horizon, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

    This expressive work presents a joyful, almost rhythmic interpretation of a seaside scene. Two stylised birch-like trees frame the composition, their graphic black outlines and emerald foliage creating a lively archway that guides the viewer’s gaze toward the glowing red sun and shimmering water beyond. The shoreline curves gently into view, rendered in warm sandy yellows and soft greens that lend the scene a welcoming, idyllic quality.

    Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, this striking painting is characterised by its rich colours and playful repetition of marks and a mosaic-like scattering of forms across the sky and sea. The artist has used bold, looping linework and patchwork colour fields to create a sense of movement – waves ripple in textured dashes of white, coral, and blue, while the sky hums with pink and powder-blue strokes interspersed with touches of gold.

    The palette is delightfully energetic: fresh greens, sky blues, pastel pinks, bright whites, and vivid reds work in harmony to create a composition that feels both spontaneous and carefully orchestrated. Brushstrokes are short, layered, and expressive, giving the surface a highly tactile quality and echoing the lively energy of the natural world reimagined through a mid-century modern lens.

    A charming and dynamic coastal view that radiates warmth, optimism, and artistic personality.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with deep ridges and a slim black inner border which provides a wonderful contrast. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A charming mid-century landscape painting captures a tranquil outdoor scene featuring two female figures seated at a round table in a sunlit garden, executed in oil onto board.

    Set against the backdrop of a soft beige house with a deep, shadowed doorway, the figures appear engaged in quiet conversation or shared activity, lending the composition a gentle narrative intimacy. The garden around them is lush and alive, with tall grasses in yellow-green hues and trees whose canopies are rendered in cool greens, blues and touches of deep teal, creating a vibrant interplay of colour and light.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist has employed simplified forms and expressive, confident brushstrokes. The palette leans toward harmonious earth tones, punctuated by cool blues and greens that evoke dappled shade and warm Mediterranean air.

    A soothing and very pleasant mid-century modernist style still life that presents a luminous arrangement of flowers and fruit, executed in oil onto board.

    At the centre, a white ceramic vase holds a lively bouquet of blossoms: soft blue, deep red, vivid yellow and indigo – set against a dramatic background of shadowed navy and pale grey. The floral forms are loosely defined yet full of character, capturing the spontaneity and freshness of a moment observed.

    Below, an assortment of apples, plums and a single green pear are scattered casually across the tabletop. Their rounded forms and warm tones create a pleasing counterbalance to the vertical elegance of the vase. A patterned drape in soft blue with warm rust-orange accents adds depth and a gentle theatricality to the composition.

  • Intersecting Rhythm

    Intersecting Rhythm

    Sold

    SOLD

    A dynamic mid-century abstract painting characterised by bold shapes, layered textures, and a rhythmic interplay of form and colour, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The composition is built from intersecting blocks and curved segments, suggesting movement and an underlying figurative tension while remaining firmly non-representational.

    Executed in a robust modernist style, the work embraces the era’s embrace of spontaneity and materiality. The palette features earthy orange, muted greys, olive green, off-white, deep charcoal and small flashes of cobalt blue, brick red, and sunny yellow, creating a grounded yet energetic contrast. Thick, tactile impasto passages bring a sculptural quality to the surface, where dragged strokes, textured ridges, and deliberate scoring reveal the artist’s physical engagement with the medium.

    Overall, the painting exudes strength and mid-century sophistication – a striking statement piece that celebrates form, texture, and movement.

    A richly textured and uplifting abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970.

    The painting unfolds as a rhythmic interplay of geometric and organic forms, arranged in a loosely interlocking composition that suggests shifting landscapes or architectural fragments without ever settling into literal depiction. The artist has layered broad, rounded shapes against more angular blocks, creating a dynamic sense of balance and movement that keeps the eye travelling across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification, flat planes, and an intuitive arrangement of colour. The palette is warm and radiant: mustard yellow, ochre, amber, and soft olive green mingle with muted grey and off-white, giving the painting both energy and groundedness. These colours sit side by side in harmonious tension, guided by a thoughtful arrangement of stripes and subtle tonal shifts.

    The brushwork is expressive and tactile, with visible texture and confident strokes that bring a sculptural quality to the paint surface. Areas of impasto catch the light softly, revealing the artist’s hand and the physicality of the medium.

    Under the Desert Sky

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling abstract landscape with figure oil composition, painted in 1961 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

    The painting captures a quiet moment of communal gathering in what appears to be a sun-drenched desert setting. A group of robed figures, seated in a loose circle, are rendered in simplified forms that emphasise posture and gesture rather than facial detail – inviting the viewer to focus on atmosphere and collective presence over individual identity.

    The style is modernist and pared-back, with strong influences of mid-century abstraction. The artist distils the scene into broad planes of colour: a soft blue sky meeting a warm band of yellow horizon, and earthy tones of russet, sand and umber defining the ground. The figures themselves appear as sculptural blocks of white, cream, black and deep brown, forming a rhythmic arrangement across the composition.

    Brushstrokes are thick, confident, and deliberately visible, with the paint applied in textured swathes that give the work a grounded, tactile quality. The artist’s expressive technique conveys a sense of stillness and the intimate social rituals of desert life.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary ridged gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some wear to its corners as shown.

    Figure in Profile

    A striking mid-century modernist figurative painting, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Ingvar Elén (1915–1973), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the National Museum in Sweden, and the Sörmlands Museum.

    The composition presents a simplified female figure shown in profile, rendered with a serene and contemplative presence. The artist has reduced the form to sculptural planes and soft geometric shapes, creating a harmonious balance between abstraction and the human silhouette.

    Set against a warm terracotta-red background, the figure is built from earthy, muted tones: olive green, beige, soft cream, and gentle peach and browns – each colour block carefully placed to suggest light, shadow, and the natural curvature of the body. The palette feels both understated and bold.

    The brushstrokes are deliberate yet textured, with visible strokes that give the flat planes a subtle tactile depth. Edges are softly defined rather than rigid, lending the piece a graceful, contemplative rhythm. The overall effect is calm, refined, and deeply atmospheric – an elegant study of form and restraint.

    A beautiful example of mid-century modernist figurative art, perfect for collectors who appreciate minimalism, colour harmony, and sculptural silhouettes.

    This oil on board is presented in a very well-suited gilt frame with an inner moulding with visible wood grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    SOLD

    A  serene and atmospheric abstract landscape that captures the quiet poetry of an open horizon rendered through expressive texture and colour, executed in oil onto board and dated 1994.

    The composition is anchored by a band of deep browns, charcoals and soft whites that suggest distant landforms or shifting terrain, while the foreground dissolves into warm ochres, honeyed yellows and sandy neutrals. Above, a vast expanse of pale sky – softly blended in tones of white, cream and frosted blue evokes a sense of calm, openness, and gentle movement.

    Executed in an abstract, modernist style, the painting relies on suggestion rather than literal detail. Broad, confident brushstrokes move horizontally across the canvas, creating a sense of depth and natural flow.

    A small yet very effective charming landscape painting that captures a quiet outdoor terrace set against the gentle shimmer of a lakeside horizon, executed in oil onto board and dated 1981.

    At the centre, a white table and chairs sit bathed in warm afternoon light, their forms softened and abstracted by expressive painterly strokes. Surrounding them, lush trees and shrubs frame the scene, creating a sense of intimate seclusion with just a glimpse of the expansive water beyond.

    The composition blends representational elements with looser, gestural abstraction. The palette is harmonious and atmospheric – cool blues and greys of the sky and water contrast beautifully with the earthy greens and muted browns of the foliage and ground. Thick impasto brushstrokes bring exceptional texture and movement to the surface, particularly in the foliage where the paint is applied in layered, energetic swirls. The terrace furniture is rendered with creamy whites and pale yellows, catching the light and adding a striking focal point within the natural setting.

    Overall, this is a wonderfully evocative piece: capturing the tranquillity of a sunlit moment outdoors, conveyed through confident colour work and richly tactile brushwork.

    £505

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century modernist style painting that depicts a quiet, intimate interior moment, executed in oil onto board and dated 1953.

    A female figure is seated at a table, deeply focused on her hands as she works or writes. She wears a white headscarf and a pale blue dress, her posture soft and contemplative. To her right, a simple vase holds two vivid red-orange flowers, their petals dramatically fanned and adding a lively burst of colour to the otherwise serene setting. A closed book rests on the table, anchoring the composition with a sense of stillness and domestic quiet.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the work embraces simplified geometric forms, muted planes of colour, and a strong sense of design. The artist has reduced detail to essentials, relying on shape and tonal relationships to describe space and figure. The overall aesthetic is minimal, balanced, and quietly poetic.

    The palette is soft and harmonious: cool greys, pale blues, cream, soft yellow and muted greens form the foundation of the room and figure. These gentle tones are beautifully contrasted by the bold, saturated reds and oranges of the flowers, giving the composition a striking focal point without overwhelming its calm mood.

    Brushwork is smooth, controlled, and deliberate, with flat, even applications of paint that emphasise form over texture. Edges are clean and slightly softened, contributing to the painting’s gentle, contemplative atmosphere.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Harbour Promenade

    Harbour Promenade

    Sold

    SOLD

    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.

  • Birch Grove

    Birch Grove

    Sold

    SOLD

    A gentle and serene mid-century landscape that depicts a quiet stand of slender trees rising gracefully from a soft, sunlit meadow, executed in oil onto board and dated 1948.

    Their pale trunks stretch upward with an airy elegance, forming delicate vertical rhythms against a hazy sky. Behind them, gentle mounds of foliage in muted greens create a sense of depth and calm, while the distant horizon rests in a band of cool blue.

    Rendered in a distinctly mid-century modernist style, the composition favours simplification and harmony over strict naturalism. The artist reduces the scene into calming shapes and soft colour blocks, capturing the essence of place through atmosphere rather than detail.

    The colour palette is beautifully restrained: powdery sky blues, cool greys, sage greens, and warm straw-toned yellows. Together, they evoke the soft light of a quiet morning. The brushstrokes are tactile and expressive yet controlled, with gently layered textures that bring a subtle movement to the surface. Short, broken strokes define the grasses, while smoother, blended passages build the trees and sky, lending the piece a breezy, contemplative quality.

    This oil on board is housed in an elegant linen-lined wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Houses by the Rolling Hills

    Houses by the Rolling Hills

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and picturesque mid-century landscape that captures a quiet cluster of houses nestled within rolling green fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1963.

    The composition centres around a small hamlet, its simple geometric forms distilled into blocks of colour: red and blue rooftops, creamy white façades, and deep green foliage. A single tree rises from the village centre, its broad, dark crown creating a natural focal point amid the surrounding patchwork of shapes.

    Rendered in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces simplification and abstraction, reducing the landscape into harmonious, interlocking planes. The artist’s palette is earthy yet vivid: rich brick reds, moss greens, browns, and blues – all balanced by softer, muted tones in the distant hills. This juxtaposition of saturated and subdued colour adds depth and a rhythmic visual cadence.

    Brushstrokes are confident and textural, with layered applications of paint that create subtle variations across the surface. Edges are softly defined, allowing forms to merge slightly into one another, giving the work its characteristic mid-century warmth and painterly charm. The result is a beautifully composed village scene that feels at once grounded and gently abstracted.

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

    Size: 57.5 x 87 cm (including frame)

  • Emerging Blooms

    Emerging Blooms

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive and contemplative mid-century still life that presents a cluster of budding flowers rising against a softly textured ground,  executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

    The artist has captured the moment just before full bloom – tall stems stretching upward, their petals tightly furled, with hints of soft pinks and yellow-greens suggesting the promise of colour beneath the muted surface. The composition feels both organic and abstracted, with the flowers arranged in a rhythmic, almost sculptural formation.

    Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and suggestion rather than strict realism. The forms are distilled into elongated strokes and blocky shapes, creating an atmospheric impression rather than a literal depiction. The palette is beautifully restrained: cool greys, slate blues, muted greens, and gentle off-whites dominate, punctuated by occasional touches of pink and lemon yellow at the tips of the buds.

    The brushwork is thick, tactile, and deliberate, with impasto passages that give the surface a rich physical presence. Vertical strokes define the stems and buds, while broader, more textured swaths shape the surrounding foliage and background. The overall effect is both calming and quietly dramatic.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs.

  • Fading Horizon

    Fading Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD

    An atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a sweeping, almost abstracted view of land meeting sky,  executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is defined by a broad diagonal plane that draws the viewer’s eye into the distance, suggesting an open field or coastal terrain softened by mist. The forms are intentionally understated, allowing mood and atmosphere to take precedence over literal detail.

    Painterly and expressive in style, the work leans toward modernist abstraction while still conveying a sense of place. The artist uses minimal definition, instead relying on tonal shifts and layered colour to evoke depth and quiet movement. The result is a calm, contemplative image imbued with a quintessential mid-century sensibility.

    The palette is beautifully muted, composed of warm yellows, earthy browns, and deep moss greens that gradually transition into soft blue-greens, misty greys, and a luminous off-white sky. These colours blend seamlessly, creating the impression of early morning light or distant haze dissolving into the horizon.

    The brushwork is gentle and fluid, with broad, blended strokes that form natural gradients across the landscape. Softer applications near the top of the canvas create a diffused, atmospheric quality, while more textured strokes in the foreground add a grounded sense of terrain. The overall effect is meditative and serene, inviting the viewer into a quiet, expansive space.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. There is a small mark visible in the light section of the sky and some areas of craquelure present, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Vivid Blossoms

    Vivid Blossoms

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and expressive mid-century still life painting with wonderful texture, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts two flowering plants in terracotta pots, their bold red blooms bursting with energy against a softly lit interior backdrop. The composition centres on the lush, elongated green leaves and radiant flowers, capturing the vitality of the plants as they lean and unfurl with natural dynamism.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century expressionist style, the painting embraces thick, confident impasto throughout. Generous, sculptural brushstrokes build up the surface, giving the petals and foliage a textured, almost tactile presence. The palette is warm and uplifting: vivid red and coral for the blossoms, earthy greens for the foliage, deep browns for the pots, and a soft mixture of creams, yellows, and pale blues in the surrounding interior.

    The artist’s vigorous technique brings a sense of immediacy and movement, allowing the flowers to feel almost alive. Light dances across the textured paint, adding depth and a glowing warmth that enhances the overall charm of the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Violin & Flowers

    Violin & Flowers

    £425

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming and atmospheric mid-century still life depicting a beautifully balanced arrangement of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas.

    A richly toned violin lies gently across a tabletop, its warm reddish-brown body catching the light with a subtle sheen. Behind it, a patterned ceramic vase holds three full white chrysanthemums, their rounded petals captured with beautifully textured, expressive brushwork. The surrounding interior, rendered in soft muted tones, provides a calm and understated backdrop that allows the objects to take centre stage.

    The painting is executed in a refined realist-impressionist style, marked by a balance of clarity and softness. The earthy greens, warm browns, and creamy whites create a soothing, cohesive palette, while the contrast between the polished surface of the violin and the delicate, layered petals of the chrysanthemums adds visual richness. The brushstrokes shift thoughtfully throughout: crisp and tactile in the flowers, smooth and controlled along the violin, and gently blended in the background – giving the work depth and atmosphere without drawing attention away from the central arrangement.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame with an inner linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Intersecting Planes

    Intersecting Planes

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and very striking mid-century geometric abstract composition, painted in oil in 1955  by the established Swedish artist Bror Ingemar Fröberg (1921-1999), whose artworks have been represented in the Moderna Museum in Stockholm and the Sörmland Museum.

    The painting is built from a dynamic network of interlocking shapes and angled planes. Triangles, diamonds, and irregular quadrilaterals converge and diverge across the canvas, creating a sense of movement that feels architectural. Though non-representational, the arrangement evokes rhythm, structure, and balance.

    Executed in a geometric abstract style, the work relies on strong linear boundaries and clearly defined colour fields. The composition feels meticulously plotted, yet there is a softness to some of the edges that lends a human, hand-painted warmth. The overlapping forms create layers of depth and subtle spatial tension, typical of mid-century abstraction.

    The colour palette is earthy and muted, and these grounded tones harmonise beautifully together. The balance of darker masses against lighter areas adds contrast and energy.

    The brushwork is confident and deliberate, with solid blocks of colour applied in smooth, even strokes. Slight variations in texture and faint visible brush trails keep the surface engaging

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some light surface marks but overall, the surface still presents well, and these characteristics do not detract from the artwork’s visual impact.

    Size: 64 x 91.5 cm (including frame)

  • Lily of the Valley with Pears

    Lily of the Valley with Pears

    Sold

    SOLD

    A charming and characterful mid-century interior still life composition executed in tempera on board, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    This beautifully composed painting centres around a striking turquoise vase filled with lily-of-the-valley, their delicate white bells rising in elegant contrast against a backdrop of bold modernist colour blocks. Arranged on a vivid red tabletop, four stylised green pears add balance and rhythm.

    The interior behind the arrangement is rendered through geometric planes of earthy brown, charcoal, plum, and cerulean blue, evoking walls, textiles, and an arched doorway while maintaining a flattened, abstract sensibility.

    Executed in tempera, the work exhibits smooth, matte surfaces with crisp, clean edges. The artist embraces a distinctly modernist, slightly naïve style: simplifying forms, minimising perspective, and emphasising bold, graphic colour fields. The brushwork is controlled and even, lending a refined clarity to each element within the composition.

    This tempera on board is presented in an ornate, richly detailed gilt frame that elevates the work with a sense of classical elegance. The artwork is further enhanced by a deep burgundy velvet mount, which provides a luxurious contrast and subtly intensifies the colours within the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has tiny areas of wear the corners, consistent with age.

  • Still Life with Sardines

    Still Life with Sardines

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century still life painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1961.

    This composition brings together a humble yet vibrant assortment of fresh sardines, prawns, and sliced onions arranged across a softly rumpled cloth. The artist has captured the immediacy of a kitchen table moment: the silvery shimmer of fish, the warm glow of onions, and the deep coral tones of prawns – rendered with expressive confidence.

    The work sits firmly within the mid-century modernist tradition. It blends realism with painterly abstraction, allowing objects to remain recognisable while being interpreted through bold, gestural forms.

    A muted, earthy palette dominates the scene: soft greys, warm taupes, and sandy neutrals form the backdrop. These subtle tones are punctuated by sharper highlights: the metallic blues and whites of the fish, the pale yellows and greens of the onions, and the rich vermillion hues of the prawns. Together, they create a balanced and atmospheric harmony

    Broad, confident strokes shape the background and cloth, giving it a textured, almost sculptural feel. The food items themselves are rendered with more deliberate yet still loose brushwork – quick flicks and decisive marks bring out the glistening skin of the sardines and the curved forms of the prawns. The overall surface has an energetic, spontaneous quality that enhances the painting’s rustic charm and authenticity.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary wood frame with multiple profiles.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • By the Blue Horizon

    By the Blue Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD

    A serene and minimalist mid-century coastal landscape capturing the stillness of a solitary figure by the sea, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition is anchored by vast horizontal bands of sand, sea, and sky – the painter reducing the scene to its essential forms and tonal contrasts. A woman in a red sunhat and blue swimsuit sits under a teal umbrella, her figure small against the expansiveness of the beach and ocean, evoking both solitude and quiet contemplation.

    Rendered in a simplified modernist style, the artist has employed broad, smooth brushstrokes and a restrained palette – warm beige and brown tones for the sand, deep cobalt for the sea, and a luminous cerulean for the sky. The brushwork softens toward the horizon, creating a gentle gradient that enhances the feeling of distance and calm.

    The painting’s simplicity and geometric balance are characteristic of mid-century coastal modernism, where atmosphere and mood take precedence over detail.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a well-suited wood frame with a linen-lined border the complements the painting’s coastal tones. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Maternal Love

    Maternal Love

    Sold

    SOLD

    An outstanding mid-century modernist abstract figurative composition, painted in oil onto board by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.

    The composition depicts a female figure, presumably a mother, tenderly holding her child. Rendered in bold, abstracted forms, the artist has distilled the essence of human connection into simplified, interlocking shapes and planes of colour. The absence of defined facial features allows emotion to arise from posture, proportion, and palette rather than expression, giving the scene both universality and intimacy.

    Executed in a modernist idiom influenced by abstraction, the work blends figurative sensitivity with geometric reduction. The artist has employed thick, confident brushstrokes and layered impasto to create texture and rhythm across the surface. Areas of colour overlap subtly, suggesting depth and volume while maintaining a flattened, almost collage-like arrangement.

    A harmonious palette of teal, browns, forest green, ivory, deep burgundy, and blue anchors the composition. The dark halo of the mother’s hair contrasts with the child’s pale, luminous tones, drawing the viewer’s focus to their gentle bond. The background of layered turquoise blues adds calm and balance to the composition, enhancing its contemplative quality.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and areas of paint loss as shown.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene and contemplative modernist style painting that captures the tranquil beauty of a lake as seen through an open window, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1988.

    The composition draws the viewer’s gaze outward – from the soft shadows of the window frame to the vivid expanse of blue water and rolling green hills beyond.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist has simplified the forms into broad, confident planes of colour, creating a rhythmic interplay between interior and exterior light. The palette is dominated by cool tones of azure, teal, and pale green, balanced by creamy whites and muted beiges that evoke the warmth of sunlit stone.

    The brushstrokes are loose yet deliberate, laid down in short, directional strokes that convey texture and the quiet movement of light and air. This technique lends the work both structure and spontaneity.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary light wooden frame with a soft, natural finish. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Geometry in Grey

    £540

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mesmerising mid-century geometric abstract painting composed of layered angular forms that appear to float and overlap within a carefully balanced composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artist explores spatial tension through a series of intersecting planes – rectangles, trapezoids, and irregular polygons – that shift in opacity and tone, creating a rhythmic sense of movement and depth.

    Rendered in a restrained monochromatic palette of cool greys, whites, and deep charcoal, the work exudes a quiet architectural precision. The translucent layering of shapes introduces a sense of transparency and lightness, while the hard-edged forms retain a strong graphic clarity.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with even application of paint that emphasises the structural purity of the design rather than gestural expression. The artist’s refined control of tone and balance reflects the mid-century fascination with form, proportion, and visual harmony.

    This oil on canvas comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It is on stretched canvas so is ready to hang but if you would like us to help you with framing, you can contact us here.

  • Fields in Late Summer

    Fields in Late Summer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A serene and wonderfully textured modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1972.

    The painting captures the quiet rhythm of open landscape beneath a soft, pale sky. The composition unfolds in broad, horizontal sweeps of cultivated land – patches of green and yellow fields stretch toward the horizon, gently intersected by blue-tinged furrows and tree lines.

    Painted with a confident impasto technique, the artist has applied thick, expressive strokes that build texture and movement across the canvas. Each ridge of paint conveys the tactile feel of the earth and the shifting play of light on uneven terrain. The palette is harmonious and naturalistic: grassy greens, golden yellows, and cool hints of blue balance against a delicate, misty sky.

    The work’s modernist sensibility lies in its simplification of form and emphasis on gesture over detail. Rather than depicting a literal place, it evokes the essence of cultivated fields under summer light: quiet, spacious, and timeless.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight scuffing commensurate with age.

    SOLD

    A  poignant mid-century landscape capturing a solitary figure walking beneath a windswept tree, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene is stripped to its essentials: a single bare-limbed tree with sparse autumn leaves and a small red letterbox attached to its trunk, standing against a pale blue sky. Below, an elderly man dressed in a dark green overcoat and cap leans gently on his cane as he walks along a quiet path, evoking a tender sense of solitude and reflection.

    Rendered in a restrained, minimalist style, the artist has employed loose, confident brushstrokes and a limited, harmonious palette of muted blues and earthy browns. The tree’s branches, painted with gestural strokes, convey the movement of a cold breeze, while the man’s stillness contrasts with the rest of the composition’s subtle motion.

    There’s a poetic simplicity to the piece – both melancholic and peaceful.
