• Patched

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas around the 1960s.

    The painting is full of textural detail, as the artist has added an aggregate to certain areas (possibly sand or bitumen), creating a gritty and three dimensional effect in those areas. In other areas, large swathes of smooth creamy paint have been applied, in a restricted colour palette. The artist has worked in deep, rich tones and has used a myriad of curved forms to create the composition. There appears to be two figures, with one perhaps embracing another. However, the artist has chosen to focus on the formal elements of the picture such as shape, form and line, resulting in this largely abstract picture.

    This oil on canvas  is presented in a very well suited gilt frame. The painting has some light craquelure to the areas of impasto but the paint layer is very stable as shown in the close photos. It is in very good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 82 x 71cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

    The composition sweeps across the canvas, presenting lush green fields dominating the foreground, while rolling hills and blue mountains stand in the background beneath a cloudy blue sky.

    Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and there is a strong focus on expressive brushstrokes and colour.

Swift, expressive brushstrokes infuse the scene with energy, capturing the essence of the landscape in a captivatingly semi-abstract manner.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner canvas lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

The artist plays with patterns and outlines in this bustling scene of people at a dining banquet, with a striking green ceiling with chandeliers above them.

    Painted with a modernist ethos, the artist has skilfully reduced the composition to blocks of contrasting colours that evoke a sense of simplicity and harmony. Gentle shades of soft orange add warmth to the painting, contrasting beautifully against earthy forest green tones.

  • Quay Cranes

    £580

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist seascape composition in oil, painted into board and dated 1945.

    This nautical piece depicts a winter harbourside scene, with boats docked by harbour cranes. In the distance beyond the boats, the composition is balanced by tall trees, creating depth within the picture. The painting is wonderfully textured with a matte effect and has a very painterly feel. The artist has used a range of gentle but diaphanous colours, capturing the beautiful light that is cast on this winter’s day. There are a series of juxtapositions evident, such as the way the softer curved forms of the boats contrast with the shaper harder angles of the cranes and the dock. The blues and mustard tones of the boats also contrast with the whites of the ice and the snow.

    Overall, this winter harbour scene has a very tranquil and restful feel to it. It captures the essence of a winter day beautifully, and would make a brilliant piece to rest tired eyes on.

    This large oil on board is housed in a deep profile mid century painted wood frame which suits the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing, commensurate for its age.

  • On the Red Chair

    £980

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas and dated 1962.

    In this study of a nude figure, the artist has painted in an expressionist style, using broad and sweeping brushstrokes. The nude figure rests on a seat with a red covering, and echoed behind her is the same red fabric, presumably a curtain. The artist has intentionally left out any realistic details, focusing instead on the formal elements of colour, shape and form. The composition is very well balanced, and lighter pastel colours of the nude figure juxtapose brilliantly with the deeper and richer colours that surround her.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a very effective silver frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Cat on a Couch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and very cleverly painted composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Simple but very effective in its composition, we see an interior scene of a cat curled up on a striped couch. The colours of the couch and background are pastel and gentle, thus focussing our attention on the red pillow and black and white cat. The artist has applied the paint in broad and gestural strokes, and in certain areas we see impasto where the paint has been applied thickly and stands proud from the surface. The cat has been very cleverly painted in a few simple strokes of thick creamy paint.

    For anyone who owns (or has owned) a cat, this painting would be such a lovely and poignant addition to an interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has scattered craquelure as shown in the close ups but the paint layer is stable overall.

    In this composition  we see a vase of flowers which have been painted in a semi-abstract modernist style. The artist has intentionally chosen now to focus on the realistic forms of the florals, and has instead drawn attention to the shapes, colours and lines of the bouquet. Its formal elements are echoed in the background which appears to be the framework of a window, creating a really fun and striking picture. The bright colours contrast against the bold, black outlines and the starkly white vase.

    This brilliantly executed oil on board is housed in a wide profile wood frame with decorative carvings. The painting is in good vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing as shown.

  • View in the Mirror

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and detailed mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Depicted in this composition is an interior scene. It is very cleverly executed – at first it appears to be a view out of a window, before we realise after further investigation that it is actually a mirror reflecting the outside view. This mirror is atop a table covered in objects which appear to be balls of yarn. Surrounding the mirror are figurative drawings and paintings. In the reflection of the mirror we see a window sill lined with little pots, and outside we can discern a winter view with figures and a red tram.

    This painting offers such a delightful myriad of details to explore. Painted in an expressionist style, the distinct brushstrokes give this piece its painterly feel, adding texture and tactile detail.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition, 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 depicts a pair of nuns, standing side by side, looking austere. The minimal colour palette emphasises this austerity, encouraging us viewers to focus on the angular shape and form of their habits.  Their pectoral cross acts as a focal point, leading our eyes upwards to their faces and veil, and then to the background behind. The contrast of their black habits against the brown background is beautifully stark, creating a very captivating image.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are gentle, soft and precise, reflecting a careful attention to detail and a desire to capture the quiet beauty of the moment.  The layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

The composition is highly balanced, with trees framing either side of the canvas and a tall building as a focal point. Behind the townscape we see rolling hills in deep shades of purple and brown. The painting has a very uplifting quality about it, and would certainly add character and a pop of colour to any interior space.

  • Winter Sun

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subdued and timeless minimalist landscape painting that captures the calm and serene beauty of winter, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

    The composition depicts two houses distantly nestled in the vast expanse of planes of snow. Above, the sky merges with the snowy landscape, painted in the same subdued tones.

    The artist’s gentle and flowing brushstrokes evoke a sense of serenity, capturing the stillness of the snow-covered plains and sky, and the limited and subdued colour palette contributes to the minimalist and soft aesthetic.

  • Lone

    £820

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well done mid century modernist portrait composition, executed in oil onto board.

    A single seated figure sits alone, looking out as us viewers. Her expression is gentle, yet there seems to be a sternness about her – her hands sit clasped atop a table. Her elongated figure is reminiscent of Modigliani, but overall composition also brings to mind the painting ‘Whistler’s Mother’. She has that same steady gaze as well as an air of infinite patience.

    Above her is a monochrome portrait of a male figure, which could be her late husband. Perhaps one of the most brilliant aspects of this painting is what is to her right – the netted voile curtains. The artist has captured the texture of it wonderfully, and we also see  little plant pot on the window sill which adds a homeliness to the painting.

    Overall, the painting is brilliantly executed and exudes such a distinctive character.

    This oil on board is housed in a dark gilt frame which suits it wonderfully. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition .

    The colour gradient technique employed by the artist adds depth and highlights the three-dimensional qualities of the petals and leaves of the rose.

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

  • Cradle

    £915

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours  against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

    There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

    This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

    SOLD.

    A small but very well executed mid century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

These ceramic tile  fireplaces are quintessentially Swedish, and date back to the Middle Ages although many were destroyed in the mid 20th century to make way for central heating.

    The artist has masterfully portrayed the scene through the use of a rich colour palette, in contrasting dark and moody as well as luminous shades.

    The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way the artist has expertly rendered the interplay of light and shadow. The dark background serves as a dramatic backdrop, allowing the vibrant hues of the tables and some of the objects to stand out. The expressive brushstrokes and skilful layering of colours add a dynamic quality to the composition as well as a light textural feel.

  • Under the Constellation

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and striking figurative oil composition, dated 2023 and titled ‘Orion, Lyra, Sirius, Andromeda’ on reverse.

    The painting presents 4 figures evenly spaced out, that appear to be in decorative costume. The facial features of the figure have been intentionally left out, focusing our attention on the qualities of colour, form, shape, and brushstrokes.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has reconstructed the figures in their costumes down to geometric blocks of contrasting lively colours. Layers of colours have also been skilfully mixed and applied to form a beautiful luminous green background that represents the sky with constellation.

    The portrait is brought to life through the delicate use of watercolour and gouache, creating a translucent and diaphanous effect.

    Swift and confident brushstrokes contribute to the dynamic atmosphere, suggesting a balance between careful consideration and the fleeting nature of the moment.

  • Balcony Sightings

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing and restful mid-century modern 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 depicts a female figure standing in a balcony. She is stylishly dressed in patterned clothing with intricate detailing, as well as a striking yellow hat. She stands elegantly, and is back-facing the viewer, lending an air of mystery to the composition. The home is well-decorated as we get a glimpse of a striped curtain as well as a striped cloth resting on the ledge of the balcony, and a pot resting on a table.

    The balcony overlooks rows of white buildings of differing heights, that stretch out into the distance. The artist has purposely simplified the architectural details of the buildings into blocks of contrasting shades of white and brown.

    The colour palette of the painting is limited to muted and earthy  shades of browns and white. These gentle colours create a subdued atmosphere, evoking a sense tranquility. The brushstrokes in the painting are soft and gentle, creating a sense of calmness throughout the artwork, and enhancing its overall soothing aesthetic.

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

  • Green Summer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    A row of farmhouses stretch across the middle of the painting, in between fields in the foreground as well as fields that pan out into the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.

    Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has reduced the scene down to planes of contrasting colours.  The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky.

    The gentle brushstrokes bring forth a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

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

  • By the Boats

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    In this scene we see a group of fishermen around their boats by the docks. They appear to be waiting for something, or perhaps have just come back from sea and are discussing their catch before they return home. The painting has been executed in an expressionist manner – the brushstrokes are visible, moving in a myriad of directions, imbuing the painting with a sense of energy and dynamism. The colour palette is calming and tranquil, with blues and browns contrasting against white areas. This painting would look perfect in a nautical themed interior, or perhaps in a setting that is close to the sea.

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

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Featuring a really lovely illustrative quality, this composition depicts the rooftops of houses, with a hill in the background and monument sitting atop the hill. The artist has used a range of really earthy colours such as rest red, burnt orange and mustard yellow, combined with dark outlines. The distinctive brushstrokes, particularly in the sky area and on some of the houses, gives the painting a raw quality and some insight into the artist’s process. The rich and earthy palette and the well balanced composition full of depth makes the picture a very attractive one.

  • Coalesce

    £450

    Available

    RESERVED until 19th Jan

    Free UK shipping only.

    A very large mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1959.

    In this large abstract composition we see a myriad of shapes coalescing and connecting to form a whole. The forms present seem to act on each other – putting pressure on each other, shrinking each other, enlarging another, as if the forms themselves were active participants. Each shape has a role in the total organism, each one is holding the other up, supporting the whole. As a result the picture has a palpable energy – the forms and shapes almost appear to be moving around the canvas, shapeshifting and amalgamating.

    This large abstract painting is presented in  a grey mount and a champagne frame. There are some minor marks on the painting and mount.

  • The Green Jetty

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed semi abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 63.

    Despite its semi abstract composition, we can just about make out the form of a jetty. Board and gestural swathes of creamy paint have been applied to the canvas, creating this textured and expressionist composition. The colours and brushstrokes blend beautifully into one another, creating a gentle but distinct gradient of shades as the composition shifts from sky to sea to land. The artist has reduced the structure of the jetty down to a seemingly simple but very effective series of brushstrokes in green, with outlines in black.

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

    Size: 60 x 75.5 cm (including frame)

    Semi-abstract in style, the artist has intentionally omitted all realistic details and has embraced simplicity by reducing the composition down to a vibrant display of contrasting colour.

    The varying hues of greens and blues complement each other very well, and the painting has an uplifting feel overall.

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

  • The Red Couch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed and striking mid-century modernist style composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

    The painting depicts an interior setting where a female figure is poised on a vibrant red couch beside a striking yellow table. She is holding a white napkin, and there is a bowl placed beside her on the table.

    The modernist style of the artwork manifests in the reduction of the composition to blocks of contrasting shades, accented by precise black outlines that highlight the respective forms.

    The artist has intentionally omitted the figure’s facial details, and the rich colour palette as well as expressive brushstrokes imbue the work with liveliness.

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

  • Houses in Abstract

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and richly textured modernist style composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully captured a street scene featuring a row of houses in varying sizes. The scene has been simplified and reduced down to blocks of contrasting colours, as well as bold, powerful, and distinct brushstrokes.

    The artist has deliberately used a restrained palette that allows for a balanced colour scheme, with muted hues of white, green, and orange, contrasting against punches of black to balance the composition.

    The masterful use of the impasto technique creates texture and depth to the painting – with thick, textured brushstrokes giving the artwork a tactile quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim black wood frame. The painting has an area of craquelure to its top left corner as shown in close ups, but the paint layer is stable overall and it is in good vintage condition.

The painterly composition features expressionist brushstrokes that are broad and distinct, while still capturing wonderful details like the varying shades within the grass and the clouds in the sky.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully textured mid century landscape composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1947.

    In this composition we see a masterful build up of layer of colour, each brushstroke adding depth and texture to the artwork. Creamy swathes of paint are carefully folded into each other, creating a myriad of detail and three dimensionality. We even see areas where the artist has used the back of his brush to mark the surface and convey the strata within the rock. The scene is quiet and restful, capturing the rural countryside landscape.

    This peaceful oil on board is housed in a lovely wood frame with multiple windows. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

The artist has omitted realistic detailing, opting instead to focus on the forms, shape and colour of the figures and their surroundings. The palette is muted, with the use of darker blues and purple set against areas of white. The vertical orientation of this painting makes it ideal for narrow spaces, and its distinctive modernist style of painting and frame will certainly make it a statement piece.

    The artist employs a painterly and expressive approach, utilising broad, confident brushstrokes that lend a sense of dynamism and rhythmic flow to the composition.

    The painting celebrates the simplicity and beauty found in still life, and the artist’s confident use of colour and brushstroke elevates the painting beyond its mere representation.

  • Lachlan

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully textured and emotive mid-century abstract figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting portrays a silhouette of a solitary male figure, bathed in a mix of orange, red, beige, and brown hues. The figure stands boldly against a subdued and soothing light-coloured backdrop.

    Painted in an abstract manner, all realistic details including facial features have been purposefully omitted, lending an air of mystery and ambiguity to the composition.

    The artist has used the power of brushstrokes and colour to highlight emotion. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been executed with vigour and confidence, adding a sense of dynamism to the piece. The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes – using the impasto technique to create a visually raw and tactile three-dimensional surface.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim silver frame. There is some surface craquelure as shown in close ups, due to the thickness of the paint but this is not obvious due to style of the piece. The paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some very minor scuffs

  • Metamorphosis

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and striking 20th century oil, painted onto canvas and dated ’98.

    Brightly coloured figures fill the scene, each one overlapping and layering onto another. There is incredible depth within the picture – the way the artist has layered the forms, some opaque and some translucent, gives us the sense of a very busy street scene with lots of people on their way to work. We can just about make out a figure in a suit, carrying a briefcase. Interestingly, as our eyes scan the canvas,  we notice that the figure’s heads morph from human ones to animal ones, perhaps an allusion to the herd mentality or the humdrum of working life.

    Whatever one’s interpretation, the painting is brilliantly executed, with a rich variety of colours and textures filling the surface. This statement piece would certainly make for some interesting conversation.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has an area of paint loss, revealing the red underlayer, as shown in photo.

    Size: 76.5 x 96 cm (including frame)

  • Priests in Greece

    £655

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid-century modernist painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents a charming street scene at Patmos in Greece. In the foreground, two priests in black robes first draw our attention. In the background of the painting, a figure and a donkey can be seen strolling on a pathway lined with white buildings with colourful arches.

    Painted in a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has flattened the respective forms, reducing them down to blocks of contrasting shades to demonstrate depth and a sense of space to the painting.

    A spectrum of uplifting colours have been used, and the brushstrokes are gentle, evoking a soothing and relaxing quality to the painting.

    Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct form.

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

  • Blue Ballerinas

    £1,175

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid-century figurative composition, 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 a scene of two ballerinas in striking blue tutus and ballet shoes, surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, the artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette, the artist has reduced the area around the ballerinas to angular planes in different gradients of brown. The layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting has a light surface mark at its lower central area of painting (as shown), but the painting is overall in good vintage condition. There is a small nick to inner border of the frame, as shown.

  • In the Shadows

    £750

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid-century abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto board.

    A figure standing in an interior setting, with one hand resting on a raised platform, punctuates the center of the composition.

    The figure, depicted in a fleeting silhouette, stands in the shadows, revealing only half of its form. Abstract in nature, all realistic details are deliberately omitted, allowing the viewer to focus on the expressive and powerful brushwork, as well as the rich and limited colour palette that evokes a sense of mystery and introspection.

    This masterpiece is a dance of contrasts, where the interplay of light and dark takes center stage and helps to demonstrate depth and balance to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing, in keeping with its overall vintage style.

  • Horse Riders

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed semi-abstract oil composition painted in 1963 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 presents 2 figures riding horses in a desert landscape. Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist’s deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on the overall atmospheric ambiance, as well as on the beauty of brushstroke and colour.

    The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting. And the clever use of a limited colour palette of rich browns, blue, and black tones in subtle variations not only helps to unify the composition and create depth and three-dimensionality, but also a warm and earthy atmosphere

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited silver frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some light scuffing and wear.

  • Set of 4 Oils

    £1,100

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but powerful set of abstract compositions by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil onto linen panel. Each one signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to these paintings are an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    All paintings and frames in excellent condition. Each one of these is a one-off unique hand painted piece, so the set of 4 will be available until any one of the pieces is purchased individually. If you prefer to buy an individual piece, you can do so here.

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • Desire Lines

    £300

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

  • Cairo

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very textured mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Depicted here is a large monument in Cairo, Egypt. This location has been inscribed on the reverse. We believe it could be the Ibn Tulun Mosque which is situated in the heart of Cairo, and has a similar architectural layout and form. The artist has focused on the geometric forms of the monument’s walls, abstracting it down to large white blocks with bold outlines. In the distance we also see the minaret, which is central to the overall composition and creates a focal point for our eyes. The artist has also added an aggregate to the surface, creating a very textured composition, with areas of thickly applied paint.

    The painting is dated to the bottom left, but the inscription is quite indistinct. From what we can see, it appears to be ’60.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with inner linen-lined windows. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight age wear but is in good condition overall.

    Size: 69 x 80 cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this artwork is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, please contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • Home Studio

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and brilliantly detailed mid-century composition of an interior setting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The setting takes place in a wonderfully ‘lived-in’ home studio, with an interesting array of objects, furniture and artist tools depicted within picture. Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist’s brushstrokes are short and swift, lending an energetic and spontaneous quality to the piece. The loose style of painting further emphasises the immediacy of the moment captured. Although no one is present in the scene, there is a sense the artist has only just left and will return shortly – his or her palette is still visible with paint on, a pot of brushstrokes on the table behind, and a chair immediately in the front of the table.  On the left, we also get a glimpse of a view outside the studio.

    The artist has used a rich and uplifting colour palette, adding a lively feel to the work. Each object is represented with a spectrum of colours, enhancing their three-dimensional forms and inviting the viewer to explore their detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed semi-abstract mid century modernist oil composition, painted in 1959 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.

    In this composition we can see two figures, each sitting on a donkey. There is an inscription on the reverse which locates the scene to Altea, in Spain. Morsing has abstracted the figures and animals, using a restrained palette of black, green, yellow and white, and omitting all realistic detail. Instead, multi-directional brushstrokes come together carefully and in  a very considered manner to create the forms we see.

    Characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork, this painting carries many elements of the ‘Fauvist’ style. Here we have bold, non-naturalistic colours, and wild loose dabs of paint which add a sense of abstraction to the landscape scene.  As we take in the scene, our eyes dance across the surface, following the different movements and colours that the artist has applied the canvas.

  • Green Sails

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist seascape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Distinctively modernist in style, the artist here has played with shape, form and colour to build up this composition of boats in a port. The long repetitive lines of the masts juxtapose against the rectangular and circular shapes on the boats, as well as the triangular shapes of the sails. These distinct shapes then contrast again with the more fluid forms of the reflection in the water. The artist applies broader, and more expressive strokes to the area of reflection, whereas the top half of the composition is more controlled and form focused.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs as shown in close ups.

The composition is also peppered with areas of green which have been carefully and seamlessly weaved into the areas of blue.

    The painting captures a scene of two ballerinas surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, rhe artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail.

    Sold

  • Geometric Still Life

    £995

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and playful mid century cubist modernist composition in oil, painted on board.

    With a focus on shape, colour and line, the artist has abstracted what appears to be a still life composition of drinking mugs and vessels, creating a fragmented effect. This stylisation and distortion is typical of the cubist ethos, rejecting the inherited concept that art should copy nature, and instead emphasising the two-dimensionality of the canvas. The artist has done this by reducing and fracturing objects into geometric forms, and then realigning these within a shallow, relief-like space, with multiple vantage points.

    This oil on board is housed in very unique and well-suited gilt frame with an inner blue and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has slight paint loss to its blue border but this is in keeping with its vintage look.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid-century landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette, beautifully contrasting planes of darker greys with lighter shades to create a sense of depth and width. As our eyes move from the foreground to the background, the brushstrokes transition from more expressive to gentler strokes, and the colours transition from more striking and darker shades to softer hues.

    There is a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim cream frame. The frame has some slight scuffing but the appearance is still very good. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • High Street

    Sold

    SOLD

    A very charming mid-century street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. Its ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek –  to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wide-profiled gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The artist has worked boldly in his medium of oil, confidently applying layers of rich colours in broad, gestural, and expressive brushstrokes that capture the energy and immediacy of his hand. These contrasting shades not only add a wonderfully textured surface and a sense of depth to the painting, but the muted hues imbue the work with an uplifting and soothing quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A visually striking and soothing mid-century modernist style oil composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The scene is set within an interior setting, where a female figure is seated by a table with a vase of beautiful blue flowers, and beside a window that reveals a glimpse of the outside world. The figure, who is the focal point of the composition, is dressed in a vibrant red and yellow attire, and has her gaze faced downwards and appears to be in thought.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist explores the use of contrasting colour and brushstrokes to create this wonderful composition. The colour palette is a skilful selection of hues that evoke positive emotions, enhancing the overall uplifting atmosphere of the painting, and the gentle brushstrokes add a sense of tranquillity to the scene.

    This oil on canvas is housed in distressed light wood frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age wear but this is in keeping with its vintage look.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A characterful and well executed mid century modernist oil on board, depicting a figurative street scene.

  • Orange Bouquet

    Sold

    SOLD.

    The composition presents a bouquet of orange flowers, placed atop a table and against a blue backdrop.

  • Figures in Abstraction

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    At the center of the composition stand two figures, stripped down to their fundamental essence. Painted in an abstract manner, the artist has deconstructed their forms into geometric blocks of contrasting colours, and overlaying distinct patterned lines that flow in various directions. These lines, created with confident brushstrokes, hint at movement and dynamism while simultaneously emphasising the flatness of the canvas. The deliberate absence of recognisable features encourages the viewer to focus on the energy and emotion conveyed through the interplay of shapes, lines, and colours.

    The background serves as a bold stage for the figures, also composed of blocks of rich colours that interact with each other. These colour blocks create a sense of depth and enhance the overall visual impact of the composition.

    This oil on board is housed in a slim wood frame with a black inner window. There is some very minor wear to the painting and frame, commensurate with age, but overall the appearance is still very good.

    Size: 54.5 x 29 cm (including frame)

  • Movement

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very well executed abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    This abstract composition draws our attention to the inherent beauty in mark making and colour. There is a wonderfully balanced tension between control and looseness in the brushwork of the composition -the colours seem to flow effortlessly and yet the placement of each section and its movement is controlled and intentional. Varying shades of brown, orange and beige bring to mind raw natural elements such as rock, stone, and earth, so the composition could perhaps be inspired by this.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in an original mid-century slim wooden frame which suits it perfectly. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    With its almost mosaic-like effect and an illustrative quality, this playful composition features bright colours and lots of detail – a very recognisable style within Vallman’s oeuvre. The artist plays with pattern and outlines in the scene of people in a large gallery with chandeliers above them.  The painting is very lively and uplifting, and has wonderful areas of texture where the artist has used thick dollops of paint in an impasto technique.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very attractive gilt frame with a slim linen window. There is some minor scuffing to the frame, but this does not detract from the overall appearance. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

Atop the window sill lies a fruit and some bottles, and beyond it lies a view of a snow-filled landscape with some trees.

    The painting has a soothing and homely feel, brought forth through the use of an uplifting muted colour palette, and the distinctive peach, as well as pink and blue shades, repeat themselves throughout the composition, creating a very harmonious and satisfying still-life picture.

    This oil on card is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner linen border and a silver window. The frame has some scuffs to the top edge, but this doesn’t detract from the overall appearance. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Grounded in Nature

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century modernist landscape composition, that wonderfully captures the beauty and harmony in nature. It has been executed in oil onto board, and signed by Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984) whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The use of a rich and earthy colour palette dominates this painting, as it features a brown terrain landscape with touches of lush greenery. Painted in a semi-abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted, and the artist’s painterly approach is evident in the textured and expressive brushstrokes that vary in thickness and direction. Shades of brown and green have been meticulously layered and strategically placed to create depth and add a tactile quality to the painting.

    An expansive blue cloudy sky fills the upper portion of the composition, juxtaposing the earthy tones of the terrain landscape beneath. The use of varying shades of blue creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, and the loose and unrestrained brushstrokes capture the transient conditions of the atmospheric conditions and add a dynamic quality to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a stunning wood frame with multiple windows, which suits the painting perfectly. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The work evokes a soothing and restful quality, brought forth through the use of a gentle muted palette as well as long sweeping and expressive brushstrokes that add a beautiful light textural quality.

    A large green tree punctuates the center of the composition, as it rests amidst a lush forest. Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has skillfully deconstructed the scene down to planes of contrasting rich colours as well as expressive and painterly brushstrokes.

    The artist’s use of the impasto technique adds a striking texture to the painting. The impasto technique involves applying thick layers of paint with visible brushstrokes, creating a three-dimensional effect that draws us in, as well as adding depth and tactility to the piece.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. There is some very light scuffing to the frame, but this doesn’t attract from the appearance. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

    The painting depicts a female figure seated on a sofa, with her legs casually lifted onto the cushion beside her.

  • Rising Harlequin

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    A restful and alluring mid-century modernist abstract landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Well-balanced in composition, the bottom half of the painting unveils a vast expanse of open green fields and in the distance, a hazy view of a dark green forest emerges. In the top half of the painting, a blue sky with delicate clouds fills the canvas.

    Executed in an abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has skilfully reconstructed and simplified the scene down to planes of contrasting colours and expressive brushstrokes. The use of loose and painterly brushwork breathes life into the landscape, evoking emotions of freedom and spontaneity, and wonderfully capturing the transient atmospheric conditions in that moment in time.

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

    Size:  34 x 40 cm (including frame)

  • Dame

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century portrait, 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 composition centers around a female figure stylishly dressed in a patterned clothing with intricate detailing, as well as a matching hat. She stands elegantly, holding an orange flower in her hand that matches her necklace, and her head is turned to the side. In the background, the artist has purposely simplified and reduced the architectural details of her surroundings into blocks of contrasting shades of brown.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail and a desire to capture the quiet beauty of the moment. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette comprising subdued muted shades of brown, orange, and taupe, the painting creates a nostalgic and mysterious atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged silver frame. There are some very light surface marks to the lower section of the painting (as shown) but otherwise, it is in good vintage condition. The frame has some wear to its edges.

    Size:  57 x 35 cm (including frame)

  • The Balcony

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet very captivating modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    The setting of the painting hints at a beautiful white balcony, overlooking a vast blue ocean. In the foreground, some oranges rest in a bowl as well as on the white grounds of the balcony floor.

    The balcony’s white surface accentuates the vivid orange tones of the fruits,  allowing them to command our attention.

    Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non-essentials – focusing our attention on the beautiful essence of colour may come across as limited but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms, as well as evoke a soothing and minimalist quality to the work.

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

  • Green Apples

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and beautifully textured mid-century still life oil composition, that revolves around a plate of 4 green apples resting on a dark green tabletop.

    The artist has thoughtfully used a restrained palette of dark moody shades with hints of lighter colours. Through the masterful use of the colour gradient technique employing contrasting shades, as well as expressive and textured brushstrokes, the three-dimensional qualities of the fruits are enhanced and the overall composition is full of character.

    This oil on board is housed in a really lovely wood frame with a gilt border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Italian Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing and brilliantly executed mid-century modernist style townscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts a town in Italy, featuring trees set amidst blocks of buildings.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has masterfully reduced the composition down to blocks and planes of contrasting colour, and explores the use of colour and brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space in this painting.

    The use of a gentle and muted colour palette adds an uplifting quality, and another striking aspect of this painting is the artist’s creative use of negative space. By leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the forms of the building and trees are accentuated, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The linen border of the frame has some minor age toning but this is in keeping with its age.

  • Guitar Player

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition of a guitar player, executed in oil onto board.

    Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed the painting down to distinct blocks and geometric forms that overlap and intersect with one another. Each element of the figure and guitar seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

    The artist has also skilfully used contrasting colours as well as thin black and red outlines to highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the forms yet maintain a sense of flatness throughout the artwork.

    This oil on board comes unframed. There is some slight wear and losses to the edges of the painting, but this would be hidden if framed.

  • By the Port

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing and brilliantly executed composition of a port, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1945 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 painting captures boats docked by a port, with several cargo containers in the background. The artist has worked under a largely modernist ethos, simplifying the scene down to blocks of colours, using contrasting tones to create depth within the picture.

    The predominant use of muted shades add a soothing quality to the painting, and through the use of short dabs of brushstrokes, the artist has skilfully captured the transient atmospheric conditions causing the rippling effects on the water’s surface.

    The combination of the use of gentle brushstrokes as well as uplifting colours in the painting create a calm and soothing atmosphere.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary grey ridged frame. There are some areas of abrasion and small paint losses to the top and lower edge of the painting, where a previous frame has sat. There are a few tiny areas of paint loss to the main body of the painting, predominantly on the tulips, as shown. However, these are not immediately noticeable and do not detract from its overall attractiveness. There is some minor wear to the frame edges.

  • Sway

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small yet very impactful modernist style semi-abstract landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    The composition depicts tall slender trees rising from the ground of open fields, swaying in the gentle breeze.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist explores the use of colour and brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space in this painting.

    The use of a limited and gentle colour palette comprising shades of green, teal, and yellow adds a subtle and soothing quality to the painting.

    Another striking aspect is the artist’s creative use of negative space. By leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the forms of the trees are accentuated, drawing our attention to their slender branches and overall intricate form.

    This oil on canvas is housed in hessian-lined frame. The painting has no issues but there are paint losses to the edges of the frame, as shown.

    The painting features a scenic neighbourhood setting lined with charming houses. Punctuating the middle of the composition, two figures are standing in the middle of the street, seemingly in conversation.

    The painting evokes a cool and relaxing quality, brought through the use of soft and precise brushstrokes, as well as a soothing and gentle palette of predominant cool blue and grey tones.

  • Lilac Tulips

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An exquisite mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1946.

    Characterised by a rich colouring and textured brushwork, this still life composition depicts a vase of lilac tulips on a dark wood table. The light and bright colours of the flowers, leaves and vase contrast wonderfully against the darker hues of the table and background. We see two deep navy blue pillows as well as a glimpse mahogany red one set behind the vase. There is a real sense of depth and richness to all aspects of the painting, from its composition to its texture and palette.

    This oil in board is beautifully presented in a really lovely distressed wood frame which suits it impeccably. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

  • Portside

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and very well executed mid century semi abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    We can just about make out what appears to be a view of a port – in the foreground we see the form of a docked boat, with several cargo containers in the background. However the artist has worked under a largely modernist ethos, abstracting the scene down to several block of colour, using the contrasting tones to create depth within the picture. The painting has a beautiful texture too – each brushstroke distinct and perceptible.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful gilt frame with a linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some wear in keeping with its age, and the linen border as some light age toning.

  • Grace

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intriguing and very confidently executed large oil on canvas, painted in 1987 by female Swedish artist Marianne Kanter, who monogram can be seen in the top left corner.

    On first glance the painting seems almost voyeuristic – we see the backs of two men staring at the undressed female figure. As we take the time to study the painting, in particular the female figure, we begin to notice her expression – she stares directly at us with an enigmatic gaze, completely aware of her position in the room and the attention she holds, both from us as well as the male figures we see. Her confidence is unmissable. Notably, the painting is by a female artist (Marianne Kanter). Could it be that this painting was a comment on the ‘male gaze’, a term coined a few years before in the 70s? We might never know the answer for sure, but it certainly makes the painting a beguiling and intriguing one.

    This large oil on canvas is presented in a very complementary slim frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The use of a spectrum of rich uplifting shades imbues the work with a lively feel, and the expressive use of rhythmic and horizontal brushstrokes further enhances the composition, infusing it with a dynamic sense of movement and flow.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited silver frame with a slight red tint. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Two Children

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and beautifully textured modernist style figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting captures a shared moment between 2 children, who are seated beside one another.  The absence of their facial details invites us to focus on the artist’s emotional use of rich colour and brushstrokes.

    The use of the impasto technique adds a striking texture to the painting, creating a three-dimensional effect that draws us in. The impasto technique involves applying thick layers of paint with visible brushstrokes, adding depth and vibrancy to the piece.

    The background complements the subjects perfectly, featuring a mix of warm and inviting colours. Shades of orange, green, and yellow intermingle to create a harmonious blend that exudes a sense of joy and energy..

    A striking mid-century figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed expressionist mid-century composition of an interior setting, painted in oil onto card.

    The painting centres around a woman seated at loom, engrossed in the act of weaving. She has her back towards us, and it is as if we have, unbeknownst to her, stepped into this room to watch her work.

    There is a homeliness to the pictured interior, which has various objects in it.  It also has a window where we get a glimpse of a beautiful nature landscape that the room looks out onto.

  • Picturesque

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and inviting modernist-style composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1969.

    The painting presents a scene by a window, overlooking a winter landscape. The artist’s masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture the intricate patterns of delicate white lace curtains that gently drape down the large window.  Resting on the window sill are a few small objects including a cat, a cup, as well as some flower pots, each contributing to the composition’s charm. Beyond it, a mix of brown barren trees as well as tall trees adorned with green leaves are growing proudly, providing a vibrant contrast against the white snow-filled grounds.

    The short, dab-like and expressive brushstrokes lend a transient and dynamic quality to the painting, as if capturing a fleeting moment in time. This technique enhances the scene’s ethereal atmosphere, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty of the scenery.

  • Seated

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The painting features an elongated figure seated on an orange and cream platform, set against a contrasting purple-grey backdrop. Containing elements of abstraction, the painting captures the essence of the human form through expressive brushstrokes, rich muted colours, and a reduction of realistic details.

    The figure, has been rendered in creamy tones with expressive hints of muted blue, purple, and pink, and its elongated and seated form suggests a contemplative state. Through skilfully layering of colours, the artist has exposed the underlying grey that delicately traces the silhouette of the figure, enhancing its presence and providing a subtle sense of structure amidst the abstract composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary purple frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. There is a very small area of craquelure to the figure, as shown in close up photos, but this is commensurate with age and does not detract from its overall attractiveness. The painting is otherwise in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Golfers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed semi-abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1973 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 of the painting draws our attention to three figures holding golf bags, set amidst a sprawling golf course with lush greenery. The artist’s deliberate omission of detailed features encourages viewers to focus on the overall atmospheric ambiance as opposed to their individual characteristics.

    Painted in a semi-abstract style, there is a strong focus on expressive and textured brushstrokes, as well as rich colours. The use of painterly and dynamic brushstrokes create a sense of energy and movement throughout the painting, and the clever use of a limited colour palette dominated by various shades of greens and browns helps to unify the composition and emphasise the beauty and lushness of the natural surroundings.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a fair amount of scuffing to the gilt, as shown in photos. Notably there is a vertical black mark to the right hand side of the frame as shown.

  • Boulders

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic modernist coastal and landscape study painted in oil onto canvas.

    In this composition there is a distinct emphasis on the forms within the landscape – the artist uses distinct outlines, and blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of three dimensionality. The artist reminds us that the picture is essentially a flat surface covered in colours and arranged in a certain order, where the repetitive blocks build up to form a complex field. Despite the lean into abstraction, we are still able to discern the view before us, where a large group of boulders surrounded by greenery look out towards a lake or sea, with more land in the distance.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a lovely wood frame with visible grain and an inner cream coloured window. There is a tiny pinhole to the top left corner of the painting, as shown in the close up, probably from previous framing. There is a slight ‘wrinkling’ to the upper left section of the canvas but this is more obvious in the photos than it is in real life. The painting and frame are otherwise in very good vintage condition.

    To highlight the forms in the composition, thin black outlines have been used. These outlines define the edges of the fruit, plate, and backdrop, distinguishing and enhancing each of their presence within the composition.

    Using a rich colour palette and expressive brushstrokes, the artist has masterfully used a colour gradient technique, subtly blending various hues to enhance the three-dimensional qualities of the fruit.

    This oil on panel is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. There is a light line across the picture, from previous framing. In our opinion it does not detract from the overall attractiveness and quality of the piece. It is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • White Horses

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and expressive mid-century landscape of 2 horses in nature, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In the foreground of the painting, our attention is immediately drawn to the 2 horses, as their white colours contrast starkly against the green meadow.

    As we move our gaze upwards, the painting subtlety reveals a dramatic sky that dominates the middle and background of the painting. The sky is painted in an outstanding shade of blue, and upon closer inspection, we can notice black undertones, that create a sense of intensity. There is also a spot of yellow which we can infer to be the setting sun, as well as an area of black, which we can infer to be the dark clouds emerging.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. There are scattered areas of craquelure, mainly to the centre of the painting, as shown, but paint layer is overall stable. There are also small areas of paint loss to the upper left corner of the painting, as shown. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

    Containing elements of fauvism, the artist has employed the expressive use of bold and vivid colour to evoke emotions and create visual impact. The nature of watercolour as a medium has been skillfully optimised, as the use of its pigments in concentrated form has produced the vibrant colours of bold orange, yellow and green.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large, beautiful and subtle abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the forms in the composition are not clearly defined but our interpretation discerns a standing male figure embracing a female figure.

There is a beautiful transition from darker shades of blue and grey to lighter shades of cream and grey. Distinct energetic brushstrokes fill the canvas, adding an expressive effect and a wonderful textural quality to the painting.

  • Figures in Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful and striking composition presenting 2 figures in a coloured backdrop, brilliantly executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    Painted with a modernist ethos and containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has reconstructed the scene down to flat geometric shapes in contrasting colours to demonstrate a sense of depth, as well as bold outlines to highlight and emphasise form.

    The painting is brimming with character as it contains a burst of lively colours, energetic brushstrokes, and the artist has interestingly used the reverse end of the brush handle to reveal areas of the canvas.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wide-profiled cream frame that has an intended distressed effect, as show in close ups. There are areas of ‘paint loss’ to the edges of the frame but we believe this to be part of the intended effect.  The lines to the left and right of the frame are where the joints of the frame meet, as shown on reverse. There is a small repair  to the top of the frame, as shown in close ups. However, it does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

    With its intense, linear powerful outlines, an elongated figure, as well as the use of sombre colours that imbue the painting with an almost melancholic atmosphere, the painting is reminiscent of the post-war French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet (1928-1999), who was also painting around this time.

  • Seated Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto canvas.

    A male figure in his workwear sits on stool, with his cap resting on his knee, and perhaps a box of cigarettes clasped in his hand, captured at a point where he is taking a break from work. With its solid patches of colour and clearly defined forms, this striking portrait contains elements of post-impressionism, with the artist seeking to express emotions rather than just simply optical impressions. The figure looks straight at us, but his expression is kind, and there is a sense of warmth and familiarity to him.

    We can just about see the view outside the window – a series of geometrical shapes alluding to houses and buildings. These geometry of angles and contrasting angles continues throughout the picture, with definitive forms and lines building up the picture.

    This oil on canvas is housed in complementary slim wood frame.  There is creasing to the canvas as shown, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Houses in Monochrome

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed cubist geometric mid century oil on board, painted in 1962.

    Featuring angled shapes with hard edges that slot together seamlessly to form a view of houses, this striking piece encourages us to take in a cityscape through a unique lens. Here we see an interplay between lines, angles, and shapes, where the artist has reduced the buildings down into their simplest forms.

    Although the palette is very restrained and almost monochrome, the juxtaposition of light and dark shapes creates the illusion of depth, making it seem as though the buildings in the composition are rising and falling, and receding into space.

    This masterful oil composition is framed in its original mid century dark wood frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very quaint and atmospheric lakeside composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1939 on the reverse.

    Broad, textural brushstrokes fill the canvas in an array of pastel colours, wonderfully capturing the effect of the sunlight on the lake landscape. A red and orange lake house punctuates the centre of the composition, its reflection cast on the still waters below. The house sits amidst a backdrop of mountains which have been painted in blues and purples. There is a beautiful harmony and cohesiveness in the palette of this composition, with several colours repeating in various areas of the canvas.

    This oil on canvas is housed a lovely nude painted distressed frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There appears to be an area of restoration to the sky area of the painting but this is only evident on the reverse – this restoration is not visible on the front.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A restful and atmospheric mid-century modernist coastal scape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Simple yet effective in its composition, this scenic work of art presents a panoramic view of a coast by the sea. The artist has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details and has thoughtfully reduced the forms down to planes of contrasting colours.

    Reminiscent of cubist works by Pablo Picasso, this painting also features fragmentation and abstraction. By breaking the figure and the interior scene down into distinct areas, the artist shows us different view points at the same time and within the same space which suggests their three dimensional form.  Yet there is also an emphasis on the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a textured champagne and gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and brilliantly executed geometric abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas in 1958.

    Rows of houses of different colours and sizes are neatly presented and aligned. Painted with a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has reconstructed this scene down using flat blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of space and depth, beautifully composing an almost puzzle-like composition with different sized geometric shapes fitting together.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some very light craquelure to its lower half (as shown in close ups), but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

  • Set of 4 Oils

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful set of abstract compositions by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil onto linen panel. Each one signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to these paintings are an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    All paintings and frames in excellent condition. Each one of these is a one-off unique hand painted piece, so the set of 4 will be available until any one of the pieces is purchased individually. If you prefer to buy an individual piece, you can do so here.

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

    Size: Each one measures 20 x 15 cm (including frame)

  • Pink District

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count. 

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 15 x 20 cm (including frame)

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner black and gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Boat in Port

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century semi abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Here we see a boat docked in front of a building, but the artist has chosen to focus on formal qualities such as form, shape, line and colour. Working under a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has very cleverly reduced the scene down to flat planes of colour, creating a cubist, geometric effect in the composition, bringing our attention to the fact that this is indeed a painting on a surface, shaped by the artist’s own view and perception, as opposed to a realistic depiction of a boat by a shed. Yet details like the stillness of the water, the reflection of the boat, and the structures involved are still so masterfully captured.

    This oil painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Portrait in Sepia

    £520

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.

    With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture.

The figures are surrounded by blocks of houses under a moonlit sky, and the artist has presented a unique angle for the viewer to get a glimpse of just the rooftops of the houses.

    The painting has a strong focus on geometric shapes, line and colour, and there is an aura of misery which the artist has achieved through the use of multiple elements such as the dark and moody earthy colour palette, as well as bold silhouettes of the respective forms. Furthermore, the artist displays his painterly abilities as he skilfully captures the illuminating glow from the moonlight, as well as the effects of light and shadow through creating an effective colour gradient.

    A small and poignant mid century figurative oil portrait by the well-establish 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.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the composition presents a seated figure who is at rest. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork, and there is an overall softness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very restrained warm colour palette, the artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

    This oil on canvas board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The frame corners have a few small losses, but overall the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner and with a strong focus on colour and brushwork, we can perhaps make out what appears to be three figures crossing a bridge over a body of water.

  • Abstract Coast

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and gentle coastal landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1953 on the reverse.

    The composition has been skilfully reconstructed down to blocks of contrasting colours and brushstrokes. Using a restrained palette comprising darker and lighter shades of blue, green and brown, a combination of short and gentle brushstrokes have been used to paint the lighter shades of the sky and sea, and swift and expressive brushstrokes have been used to paint the darker shades of the trees, boats and land in the foreground. These contrasting tones and brushstrokes have been thoughtfully executed to demonstrate depth to the painting. Overall, this restful composition has a very calming quality, and can add a soothing effect to any interior space.

  • Cubist Figures

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very unique mid century portrait, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Cubist in nature, the artist has taken an interesting perspective in the portrayal of two figures. Their forms have been flattened, and the painting has a strong focus on line, pattern, colour and angular shapes.

    Through the use of distinct and repeated brushstrokes in one particular direction, the artist has used flat angular shapes to represent the different sides of the figures to suggest their three-dimensional structures.

    Through the use of a monochromatic palette with unique hints of blue and brown, the tonal gradation from darker moody tones to lighter shades as well as the use of bold outlines also allows the figures to be more three dimensional.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a light blue painted distressed frame that suits the painting wonderfully. There is some scattered craquelure present as shown but the paint layer is stable overall. There are minor scuffs to the frame which is in keeping with the style. Overall the painting and frame are both in very good vintage condition.

  • The Swimmers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and very unique semi abstract mid century composition in oil, painted in 1962.

    The scene appears to be of two swimmers, captured from a very interesting angle. It is almost as if we, the viewers, are under the water looking up at them. The two figures have just dived in, and we see the swoosh of the water and bubbles all around them.

    The artist has left the composition very ‘open’, using broad and expressive brushstrokes to capture the effect of the moving water. The figures have also been paired right down, their bodies only partially visible.

    The way the artist has depicted this scene is very inspiring – it is certainly not an easy scene to paint, and yet he has managed to put across the essence of what is at play here – the way the light hits the water and the figures, and the resulting distortions, as well as the sense of movement and air within the water.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a light frame with linen border. There are some minor scuffs to the frame, and some very slight age toning to the linen border. Overall the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Portrait of a Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure study in oil, painted on to canvas laid to board, and dated 1956.

    Painted in a post impressionist manner, the artist has incorporated a highly personal use of colour and brushwork, directly expressing and capturing an emotional response. The male figure looks down, and not directly at us – the artist has captured him in a moment of thought and reflection. Using a minimal  yet very earthy palette of blues, browns and blacks, the artist has also chosen to focus on the angles of his hairline, facial features, coat and collar. The artist has also captured the way the light hits the figure brilliantly, creating this very well executed composition and showing off the artist’s mastery with his medium.

    This oil painting is housed in a slim frame that complements the painting well. There is some wear to the edges of the painting, and to the frame which has some small losses as shown, but this is all in keeping with the overall style. Overall the painting and frame are both in good vintage condition.

  • Village Market

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    The composition presents a bustling village scene where a group of female figures in the foreground are surrounding some tents, presumably shopping for fresh produce. In the background, we can see a facade of buildings in the village.

    The artist has reduced the scene down to its formal qualities, focusing on shape, line, pattern and colour. A very rich and wide spectrum of colours have been used, and the contrasting shades that have been layered upon one another harmonise wonderfully together. The silhouettes of the figures and village scape have been outlined in varying shades of blue – highlighting the three-dimensional qualities of their form whilst adding interest to the painting. Expressive and energetic brushstrokes have been thoughtfully applied and dabbed across the surface, leaving a beautiful textural quality.

    It almost appears that artist has painted this brilliant composition with a fisheye perspective as the scene is displayed with a wider viewing angle and slight curvature.

    This oil on board is housed in a wooden frame with a linen border and silver detail. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Afterglow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and panoramic mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Broad, textured and gestural brushstrokes fill the bottom half the painting, creating a rich quality in the painting and capturing our initial attention. 3 houses punctuate the centre of the composition, and to the right an orangey-yellow area adds a fiery quality to the piece, balancing out the composition and drawing our eyes upwards to the top half of the painting.  As we shift our focus, the brushstrokes too take on a different quality. Smoother and more delicate brushstrokes with a lighter texture fill the blue sky.

    There is a light and diaphanous quality to this very well executed painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a light wooden frame with white detail. There are some minor marks to the frame, otherwise both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Alabaster

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very visually pleasing mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Using a careful selection of pastel colours, the subtle palette is delightfully calming. The small size of the painting draws our eyes in, encouraging us to study the tonal gradations in the colours, as well as enjoy the various textures of the creamy paint.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a painted wooden frame, the colour of which complements the painting perfectly.

  • Early Morning

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist seascape composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1966.

    This calming, early morning scene of a fisherman out on his boat just exudes tranquillity. There is a gentle, delicate quality to the way the artist has applied his paint, with each stroke carefully done , some as short light strokes, some as little dots, and some as longer and drawn out. Through the composition we get the sense that the artist is trying to capture the atmosphere of morning at low tide, with the rocks peeking out above the water. His palette is subdued – light greys, whites and blues make up the majority of the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a lovely wooden frame with linen border that suits it very well.  There is some very light craquelure to the upper right, but the paint layer remains very stable. There is some minor scuffing to the frame, and an area of age toning to the lower edge of the linen border. However the overall appearance is very good.

  • Horseback

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really fun and striking mid century modernist landscape composition with cubist elements, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Here we see four figures on horseback by the coast, with an orange roof house to the left of the picture. The artist has very clearly focused attention on capturing the formal qualities (shape, form and colour) of the landscape and figures. We are made aware of the flatness of the canvas (a typically modernist ethos), as the picture is essentially a range of carefully placed coloured shapes, yet there is a still great depth to the composition. The colours are vibrant and striking, and the composition is balanced and very harmonious.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a slim wooden frame, which complements the painting very well.  The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

    Presenting a view of a street  in Portugal, two figures that are each carrying a basket of goods on their heads are depicted crossing each other in opposite directions through a small alleyway.

    Painted with a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has used flat blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of space and depth, beautifully composing an almost puzzle-like composition with different sized geometric shapes fitting together.

    A rich and saturated colour palette that has been executed with expressive brushstrokes imbues the painting with liveliness, and hints of striking red outlines have been used across the various forms, adding a very unique touch to the painting.

  • Outing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very lively and playful mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto board by the established female Swedish artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

    In this vivid and richly coloured composition, a group of figures are depicted gathered together, and are set against a brightly painted background. There is an area of blue in the background of the painting, which possibly alludes to a body of water, suggesting that the figures are by the beach.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has thoughtfully chosen not to reveal the details of the figures, and has instead simplified and abstracted them down to painterly and expressive brushstrokes as well as blocks of contrasting saturated colours.

    This oil is painted onto thick canvas paper laid to board and is housed in a gilt frame with linen border. There is some craquelure present, mainly to the left hand side as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is stable. There is some slight undulation to the surface, and the frame has some light scuffing. Overall the appearance is very good.

  • Poppet

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very striking modernist figurative oil portrait 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.

    This affectionate portrait depicts a silhouette of a young female figure with excited eyes, who is wearing a yellow and orange dress with blue undertones. The rich and vivid colours of the background in the painting interestingly pick up the colours of her dress in reverse.

    The silhouette of the figure has been highlighted by a bold black outline, and upon close inspection of the painting, one can notice how the artist has skilfully layered contrasting swathes of colours to reveal a light texture and interest to the painting.

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

  • Portrait in Yellow

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist figurative oil portrait 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 painting depicts a silhouette of a female figure in yellow clothing, set against a light coloured background.

    The facial features of the figure have been intentionally left out, focusing our appreciation on the qualities of colour, form, shape and brushstrokes.

    Large swathes of rich and vivid colours have been applied to the canvas, creating areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. The artist has also wonderfully layered contrasting colours to reveal  great depth within this striking painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a silver frame with linen border. There is some light craquelure to the lower half of the painting, and an area of paint loss along the lower section, as shown in the close ups. However this paint loss is fairly inconspicuous due to the colour blocking style of the piece.  The frame and inner border have some general age wear and marks.

  • Folks

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Depicted in this composition is a family of four semi-abstract figures. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, as the artist has chosen instead to focus on form, colours and pattern. Intricate layers of vivid colour have been applied in broad and gestural brushstrokes, created a wonderfully textured surface, with the multidirectional strokes creating a striking patterning within the picture and showing off areas of impasto. As we study the picture, the different layers of colour slowly reveal themselves,  adding a great sense of depth to the painting.

    A group of cottages with walnut brown roofs line the landscape, set amidst a rural landscape in rich and deep autumnal colours.

As we study the painting, we begin to notice finer details such as a pond, fence posts, and possibly a bridge.

    This large oil on canvas is housed in a wide profile frame with linen border and silver and black detail. The frame has some slight wear commensurate with age. Otherwise, both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. Please note that some glare is evident in the photographs.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intricately detailed mid century oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    A line of denuded trees tempt the viewer to look deeper into the painting, drawing our attention the little details that lay awaiting our notice. A row of farmhouses lay dotted along the horizon, giving the painting a wonderful sense of depth. As we move our eyes back toward the foreground of the painting, we notice the way the artist has painted the field, using his brush to delicately dab and stroke the canvas, portraying the tonal differences in the grass, without actually painting in any individual blades, showing off the artist’s technique and mastery with capturing the landscape with impressionistic quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with silver detail and linen lined border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    An expressive mid 20th century modernist landscape oil painting depicting a beaten path that leads up to 2 huts. Surrounding it is a snow-covered field and with lush forest greenery in the distance.

  • Cubist House

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very interesting and striking mid century cubist oil composition, painted onto board.

    With a focus on form, shape, line, pattern and colour, the artist has taken an interesting perspective of a building. The outer rim of the composition features expressive swathes of blue, perhaps indicative of water. The house could be situated along the coast, and the artist has captured the sea and its waves surrounding the structure. To the left are a set of steps, as well as green forms that appear to be trees.

    Here the landscape of a house by the sea has been transformed into a series of geometric shapes. All the elements in this picture seem to sit on the same level – on the flat surface of the picture, with no foreground or background, and no illusion of receding space.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century frame that has a sand like aggregate on its border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some age and slight widening to its corner joins. There are some losses to the inner textured border on the frame but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Sea Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun and exceptional mid century modernist composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

    Incorporating elements of geometric abstraction and cubism, this interesting composition depicts what appears to be a bridge across a sea, surrounded by water, sand and rocks.

    Using a restrained colour palette comprising shades of blue, grey and orange, the artist has fragmented the objects down to geometric angular shapes in contrasting colours to highlight their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has wear to its left corner but this is only visible from the side view (as shown in photos).

  • Swinging Acrobats

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very striking mid century composition of two acrobats swinging in action, executed in watercolour onto paper.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has skilfully reduced this composition down into shapes and lines using contrasting colour blocks.

    The figures, depicted long and slender with black outlines to highlight their form, are set against a well-coloured background comprising darker shades of teal, pink and grey. Bold and deliberate brushstrokes have been confidently executed, capturing the energy and dynamism of the swinging acrobats.

    This watercolour on paper is housed in a gilt frame with a mount card, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The mount card has very minor age toning present, and otherwise, the painting and frame are in good condition overall. Please note that there is some glare evident in the photographs due to the layer of glass.

    A poignant and beautifully executed mid century modernist cityscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    A muted and subdued colour palette including shades of blue, pink and beige have been used, instilling calm and gentleness to this painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a deep profile wood frame, with an inner cream coloured border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some ageing and paint loss to its inner border, but this is keeping in line with its overall style.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive an scenic modernist townscape oil composition dated 1933, presenting an aerial view of a townscape.

  • Houses by the Pines

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An exceptional mid century modernist landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this delightful landscape composition, pine trees are presented in an open forest, with rows of coloured houses behind them.

    As we explore the painting, the wide spectrum of rich and saturated colours used in this work draws the viewer in, and makes it a visual feast for the eyes.

    The artist displays an excellent understanding of colour relationship, as he layers and pairs contrasting shades using short and brisk brushstrokes, establishing a harmonious and well-balanced feel whilst adding a textural quality to the painting.

    As we pay close attention to the pine trees, we notice that the artist has also created an effective colour gradient transition from light shades of orange at the top to darker shades of brown towards the bottom. We can perhaps discern that artist was trying to capture sunlight hitting the top part of the trees, juxtaposed against the shadier interior of the woods.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt and linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Against the Light

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A poignant and very impressive mid century modernist oil portrait, painted on to canvas and dated 1962.

    A female figure sits against the light, on what appears to be a balcony. The artist has skilfully used the sitter’s position and the effect of shadows to his advantage, capturing the silhouette like quality of the figure as a result of the position of the light. An aura appears around her, optically separating her from her surroundings and creating a very striking effect. Deep and vivid colours of dark grey, jewel green and midnight blue contrast beautifully against the light area behind the figure. Despite the use of darker colours, there is a luminous quality to the painting which is testament to the artist’s skill.

    The frame in itself is impressive too, and brings out the qualities of the painting beautifully. It has an outer white frame and then a wider linen border, followed by a silver section and then another inner white window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • A Walk in Nature

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and restful mid century modernist landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This panoramic view of nature depicts a quiet path running through vast lands, almost inviting the viewer to take a walk. The path leads up to a large tree that punctuates the centre of the painting, and also goes on into the horizon.

    Painted in a beautifully vivid colour palette, this well-balanced painting with an equal distribution of sky and land is enriched with a meditative and calming aesthetic.

    Flat planes of contrasting colours painted in gentle sweeping brushstrokes help to create a sense of depth and width to the painting. These brushstrokes contrast against the swift and expressive brushstrokes that have been used to paint the path and tree.

    Running close to a metre in length, the painting’s size would make it the perfect addition above a bed or sofa.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful dark wood frame with an inner gilt and linen window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Farmhouse by the Sea

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very inviting and expressive modernist coastal landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This beautiful and scenic composition of nature has been separated into three distinct parts. In the foreground, a red farmhouse punctuates a lush green meadow. In the middle ground, a vast midnight blue ocean takes its space, and we can see a blue sky with clouds leading out into the horizon in the background.

    The painting invites us to pay close attention to colour, as the artist has used the richness and beauty of each shade to draw us in. The strong contrast in colours as well as the use of distinct multi-directional brushstrokes also help to demonstrate depth to the painting.

    This painting is housed in a complementary silver floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has light scuffs to its corners.

  • Ponder

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid century portrait, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting presents an interior setting, where a young female figure is sitting on a chair with her hands clasped together in front of her. Although the artist has intentionally chosen not to paint her facial details, there is sense of calm, and stillness. She sits quietly, comfortably, with a quality of timelessness.

    The palette is soft and tender, perfectly suited to the mood of the sitter and the scene.  We know not who the figure is, but there is a palpable sense of familiarity. The painting emits a warm glow, with its shades of mellow yellow, green and orange capturing the mood and homeliness of the setting.

    This painting is housed in a deep-profiled wood frame with visible grain. There are paint losses to the inner border of the frame as shown, but it matches the general look of the painting and frame. The artist has painted onto board, whose surface appears to have a sheet of very thin paper laid to it. There is very slight lift to the bottom left corner by the signature, but the paint layer is very stable overall.

  • Abstract Garden

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and serene abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Wholly abstract in nature, it is tempting to try to discern what it is in front of us. Wispy, expressionist brushstrokes in contrasting tones seems to denote the play of light and shadows, and could almost appear as though the artist has tried to capture a group of feathers. Yet there is also a loose sense of the natural landscape – perhaps a row of trees of a variety of species grouped together, swaying in the wind and with light bouncing off different parts of the leaves and branches.

    The beauty of the piece also lies in the way in which the artist draws our attention the medium. The oil has been thinned, creating a loose and free quality to the paint. In certain areas the artist has allowed the paint to drip down, emphasising the freedom of the medium and its composition.

    Although abstract in nature, we can just about discern a row of trees of different species growing together.

    This beautifully well balanced abstract painting has a palpable softness while still exuding energy and character.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary painted gold frame, including a lined lined border which has also been painted gold.  There is some general age toning to the painting, otherwise both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • The Island

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and highly textured mid-century abstract modernist composition, executed in oil onto board.

A series grooves and and lines have been etched into the thickly painted surface, which features an array of thoughtfully arranged geometric shapes in rich and lively colours. The grooves and lines almost resemble threads, almost as though the surface has been embroidered. The artist has clearly pushed the medium to its limits, experimenting with several textural effects.

  • Don Quixote

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Seemingly a nod to the Spanish novel Don Quixote, this delightful mid century narrative oil painting features a host of animals, people and objects, executed in a Naïve style.

It speaks of a freedom to paint whatever one chooses, in a style that relinquishes all constraint that comes with art created within the traditional system.

    It would make for a great statement piece, or even a playful piece for a child’s room.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and atmospheric mid-century modernist landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Depicting red houses on a hilly landscape, there is a beautiful colour contrast to the top and bottom half of the painting – with calm lighter shades of white and blue used to depict the sky at the top, and moody darker shades used to depict the houses and landscape at the bottom half of the painting. In each section, the artist has skilfully mixed and layered respective shades to form this stunning composition.

  • Prep

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very interesting composition of two figures in an interior, painted in oil onto board.

    We have not been able to quite put a finger on what the two figures are doing – they look like they could be drying out something, given the firewood in the picture, or perhaps they are weaving with a loom in front of the seated figure. A large bag of logs sits to the right of the picture, a pair of barrels can be seen to the left, and wooden beams run across the roof. The picture has a lovely homely feel, with an earthy palette of browns and greens. There is an array of detail, which makes it very interesting puzzle to try and work out. If anyone has a clear idea of what the scene is of, we’d be very grateful if you could drop us a message letting us know what you think it is and why!

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame which illuminates the picture wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    A warm and embracing mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Falling under the umbrella of ‘genre painting’ or ‘narrative art’, this wonderful painting tells us a story. A group of people sit around a fire, watching a man in a hat play the guitar. Our view point places us (the viewer) very much a within the scene, as if we too are sitting in this circle, listening to the musician. In the forefront we see a couple with the man’s arm around his partner. The figures facing are painted in golden light, emitting the warm glow from the crackling fire in front of them.  The colours of the fire can also be seen again the musician’s hat, face and guitar.  The background is an cobalt blue, capturing the essence of the night sky.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quirky and fun semi abstract mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto board in 1957.

  • Quirk

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A quirky mid century modernist still life oil composition, painted onto board in 1964.

    This still life features odd angles and skewed perspective, asking us to look and look again. The composition carries many little playful details that are fun to explore and discover. Everything about its layout is somewhat stilted and skewed, for example the table sits at an angle where technically everything should slide off it, and the table is not quite rectangular. The shadows of the objects don’t quite fit either. The floor boards that sit below the table are in a different colour at every section, representing the way the light hits the floor differently. The top edge of the window sits at an angle that is not in line with the curtain rod above. Very interestingly, out the window we see a wall that has a arched shape exit where we can see the view of the seascape beyond. There are more details to discover, but all in all this surreal still life carries so many interesting features that are a delight.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a winner linen lined  border.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    The painting is housed in a champagne gilt frame which illuminated the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Expressive, painterly and unrestrained brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist has added a wonderful textural element to focus our attention on the dramatic composition.

  • Through the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping.

    A very large and textured semi abstract mid century landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This modernist landscape features several areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been applied very generously, giving this painting a wonderful depth with several layers. Though the palette is fairly minimal, the artist has managed to capture the essence of this wintery wooded landscape, giving the impression of a very far reaching landscape. There is almost a mirror like effect, where the colours used for the sky are repeated on the trees and the ground, creating a very harmonious composition. The slim white birch trees stand vertically upright across the scene, juxtaposing the largely horizontal brushwork that has been used.

    The painting is house in a linen lined frame with an inner silver border, which suits the painting impeccably. The canvas has a small closed tear to the upper edge, as seen in photos. This has been restored from the reverse and as such is not obvious on the front. There is slight age toning to the top left corner of the frame.

Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.

    The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Kitty

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and very striking abstract modernist oil composition of a seated cat, painted onto canvas.

    This really well executed semi abstract painting of a cat has a heavy emphasis on line, shape and colour. The artist appears to have used one continues thick black outline to create the shape of the cat, and has added 4 large angular geometrical shapes presumably to signify the patches of colour on the cat. All this is set against a vivid red background, set within a gorgeous gilt frame.

    Given the size of the painting, it would make a brilliant statement piece in an interior. The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner grey border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Farmer’s House

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century cubist composition of an interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas in 1956.

    In this painting, the artist has played with angles, shapes, patterns and colours. The space has been flattened, and perspective skewed. As a result, we have a very unique and intriguing composition before us, that allows us to look at the everyday objects within it in a very different way and notice things that would otherwise go unnoticed. This fragmented and abstracted image of an interior emphasis the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame that complements it well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Siesta

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and powerful mid century modernist oil composition, painted on board.

    This painting is very striking – large flat planes of colour fit together to create this composition of two seated figures on a coastline, with boats and buildings in the distance. The artist has left out all realistic details, focusing instead on the formal qualities such as shape, form and colour.  The shapes are all very much rounded, creating a general softness to the piece that makes it very appealing to look at it.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Fishermen at Dawn

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed and distinctly mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto board.

    With cubist tendencies, the artist has fragmented the scene into a series of curved shapes and lines, almost as though we are looking at the scene through broken glass.  The structure of the nets that the fishermen are laying out continues into clothes of the men as well as the surrounding sea and sky. This modernist ethos focuses on formal qualities such as shape, line, form, colour and pattern. The recurring lines and patterns make it fun to spot particular details that could easily go unnoticed unless observed closely, such as  the birds in the sky as well as the boats to the left of the composition.

    The painting is housed in a lovely wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Waterfall

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very confidently executed mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1964.

    This distinctly expressionist piece is characterised by free, gestural brushwork, and the paint application is generous and highly textured. Each area of colour appears distinct but yet flows seamlessly into the next, creating this very harmonious composition. The painting has a lot of depth, with several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface.

    Although its subject appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that the natural landscape is the source of inspiration.

    The painting is housed in a very unique and textured grey frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid century abstract modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Broad, expressive brushwork fills the canvas, creating large areas of vivid, intense colour. A highly emotive painting, this abstract expressionist piece achieves a wonderful balance in layout and colour, and its textured painted surface creates layers of depth.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it perfectly and keeps the focus on the abstract subject. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Permeate

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An atmospheric mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1968.

    The artist has thinned his medium, allowing the oil paint to flow on the canvas, bleeding into different areas of colour, and creating a wonderful range of effects. The composition is non representational – the movement of the paint on the canvas speaks for itself. The colour palette is restrained, using a range of yellows and browns and greens that give it an autumnal feel.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

  • The Group

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist semi-abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Here we see a group of figures gathered together, seemingly in conversation. The artist has left out all realistic details, abstracting the figures down into a series of coloured shapes and patters, all set against a background of vivid yellow.

    This large painting would certainly make a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some surface marks to the linen border on the frame, as shown.

  • On the Metro

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and playful mid century  British modernist oil composition of several figures on the metro in Paris, painted onto artist’s board.

    The colourful composition has a fun, childlike quality to it that makes it  a joy to look at. Although seemingly simple and ‘naive’ at first glace, it is in fact a very well executed painting. The composition and use of colours is perfectly balanced, and very satisfying to look at. Despite the lack of realistic details or colouring, we very quickly understand what we’re looking at. The artist has captured an everyday scene of rush hour on the Metro, but has incorporated a wonderful expressionist style to the piece.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to its edges.

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting has small specks of surface paint loss to the top left, which can be seen in the close up photo. These losses are only noticeable upon very close inspection, and do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The paint surface is very stable overall.

  • The Open Door

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

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

    Flat planes of colour in a myriad of angles create this very distinctly modernist interior. The traditional method of using perspective to create depth has been intentionally ignored, with the artist focusing instead on using complementary colours and geometric shapes to create a sense of space. The artist has very interestingly concentrated these formal qualities on the surfaces of the interior and its background, but has painted the objects portrayed within the interior in a much more detailed manner. The vase of flowers on the table with the bottles as well a the chair carry a different and more detailed style, which contrasts very well with the more angular shapes of the floor, walls and the view that continues outside.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame and with an inner linen lined border. The painting has some small areas of paint loss, as shown in close ups, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame has some losses to its edges, as shown.

  • Dream State

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very unique and well executed mid century modernist portrait, painted in oil onto board in 1950.

    Drawing on the ethos of surrealism, this poetic painting asserts the power of the unconscious and dream. In this picture we see a side profile of a head, with an array of elements such as droplets, a butterfly, falling leaves and musical strings around the head. The background is a tile like mosaic of white and pink, which really draws attention to the profile.

    Here the artist creates a composition that is outside the realms of reality and rationality or reason. The picture emphasises the liberation of both the mind and of artistic expression.

    The painting is housed in multi aperture frame which suits the painting perfectly. There is some minor scattered craquelure to the painting but the paint layer is very stable overall. Both the painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Houses in the Woods

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed typically modernist mid-century composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The painting depicts a row of houses surrounded by trees in the woods. The artist has abstracted this scene down to flattened angular shapes that have almost been arranged on the board like a puzzle. 

    A highly contrasting colour palette has been used – with dark and moody tones of browns and greens used to depict the woods, and lighter shades of cream used to depict the houses. The striking contrast in colour not only helps to create depth to the painting, but is also a powerful way to bring our attention to the focal point (the houses). 

    The painting is housed in a well suited dark wood frame with an inner gilt and linen window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note that there is some glare to the photos (particularly to the right side) due to the dark palette of the painting. There is no fading to the painting.

  • Autumn Trail

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very long and narrow lively mid century mountain landscape, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition depicts a scenic and panoramic view of a cool blue lake being surrounded by mountains behind it. In the foreground, some trees with striking autumn-coloured leaves line a trail. 

    Leaning towards fauvism and also painted in a semi-abstract manner, the painting emphasises vibrant and rich colours as well as energetic and unrestrained brushstrokes. Although a very much subjective and emotional response to the landscape, it wonderfully captures the beauty of nature.

    Its long horizonal layout would make it the perfect piece for an above-the-bed hang.

    This painting is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining and another gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has minor areas of scuffing.

  • Sale!

    Along a Coast

    £385

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large, expressive and serene panoramic view of a coastal scape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    As our eyes shift from the top to the bottom of the painting, we can notice the colours intensifying – with lighter and calmer shades of blue and green filling the top half of the work, juxtaposed by rich and saturated colours in the bottom half. In addition to this, the brushstrokes similarly intensify – with softer sweeping stokes filling the top half, and short, swift and more textured brushstrokes at the bottom.

    Overall, the painting exudes tranquillity and would make a statement piece in any interior with its large size.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wide profile gilt frame with an inner linen lining.  There are very light and minor surface marks on the top half of the painting, but it is in good vintage condition overall.

    A vibrant and uplifting mid-century still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    On a table top sit a group of objects including some fruit,  tulips and daffodils in a vase, and a bottle.

    Executed in a post-impressionist manner, the painting is characterised by rich and vivid colours as well as the thick application of paint in certain areas to create a wonderful textural and three-dimensional quality to the artwork. In addition to this, distinctive and patterned brushstrokes have been used to create swirly curls in the background, imbuing the work with an energetic feel.

    This painting is housed in a stunning gilt frame with multiple inner windows that enhances the artwork, making it stand out. Both painting are frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Walking By

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and brilliantly executed modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Set against a soothing lighter coloured background, the composition of the painting is punctuated by a group of tall figures in bold and striking colours walking by.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures have been simplified and abstracted down to geometric shapes, painterly brushstrokes, and rich colours.

    Expressive gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist displays and an excellent use of colour. Although working with a limited palette including reds, yellow and orange, he has skilfully applied and layered lighter and darker hues of each colour to create a harmonious, lively and well-balanced painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is in stable condition overall.

  • Cottages on a Hill

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed and detailed mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    There is a wonderful sense of tenderness to the picture – the artist has used fairly subdued colour palette in this composition, carefully painting in the cottages that sit on top of a hill. We love the contrast between the larger more expressive swathes of colour that he has used on the hill versus the little cottages that sit on top of it that are far more delicate and detailed. They sit to the right of picture, punctuating the composition perfectly and providing balance to the overall layout of the scene.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A lively and emotive modernist style landscape painting, executed in oil onto board and painted in 1953.

    The artwork depicts a pathway surrounded by lush crops, that leads up to a red cottage. Leaning towards fauvism, the painting is characterised by an intricate arrangement of rich colours including blues and yellows. Although spontaneous and impulsive lines fill the canvas, each brushstroke has been thoughtfully executed and it imbues the work with a sense of dynamism.

    This painting is housed in a stunning deep-profiled and heavy wood frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Discovery

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed semi-abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1974 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 depicts two otherworldly figures walking through an open and uncultivated landscape. Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has left out realistic details and has used expressive and textured brushstrokes to capture this scene. 

    To add to the painting’s mysterious feel, the figures are not scaled proportionally to their surrounding and are larger in size. The artist has used a restrained palette of rich colours including blues and yellows – wonderfully intensifying each shade but also mixing and layering the colours to portray depth as well as the mood in this painting. 

    This oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining. There are scattered areas of craquelure to the painting and an area of paint loss to the lower left quadrant, as shown in close up photos.

    A striking and energetic mid-century street scene, executed in oil onto canvas. 

    The composition depicts a stylishly dressed crowd entering the Theatre Mogador in Paris, as a performance is about to begin. 

    Leaning towards abstraction, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details and has reduced the forms down to contrasting colours. 

    The artist has wonderfully captured the air of excitement by using a combination of bold and lively colours as well as energetic and rhythmic brushstrokes. 

    This painting is housed in a cream wood frame with an inner gilt lining that pairs perfectly with the artwork. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Windmill

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century oil composition of a windmill by a stream, painted onto canvas in an impressionist style.

    Reminiscent of artists like Monet, this painting features distinctively impressionist characteristics such as short, visible, textured brushstrokes, an open composition, and a beautiful depiction of light and its ever changing quality.

    Evident within this picture is the artist’s mastery of the medium – each brushstroke carries within it a myriad of blended and unblended colour, resulting in a textured composition that captures the diaphanous quality of the landscape.

    The painting carries a wonderful array of delicate detailing, from the birds in the sky, to the little fence approaching the stream, as well as the church in the distance.

    This Dutch landscape in oil is housed in a very attractive wide profile distressed frame with silver and gilt detailing. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some very minor scuffs that are commensurate with age.

  • Delight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and vibrant landscape composition, executed in oil onto board, and painted in 1957.

    This nature landscape composition depicts a lush meadow sitting amidst a forest in the foreground, with a cliff in the background and mountains in the horizon.

    Executed in a fauvist style, the artist has flattened the forms and has enhanced the colours of the natural world by using a plethora of vivid and saturated colours that harmonise wonderfully together. Distinct energetic and intuitive brushstrokes also fill the canvas, adding a light textural quality and imbuing the work with a sense of dynamism.

    This painting is housed in a complementary deep profile wood frame with visible grain. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Austere

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A seemingly simple yet very striking mid century modernist still life in oil, painted onto board.

    A group of unpretentious and unostentatious objects sit stoically atop a table.  The artist draws our attention to the simple, clean shapes, set against the angular lines of the placemats underneath them, as well as the restrained colour palette. These everyday objects that are usually given no notice, are given pride of place in this composition, forcing us to enjoy the beauty of their simplicity, from the curve of the body of the tall vessel, to the juxtaposition of the object’s colours.

    The painting is housed in a green wood frame with an inner linen lined border. The colours of the frame match perfectly with the colours of the painting, further enhancing it.

    There is a small surface paint loss to painting as shown in the images, but it is overall in a good vintage condition. The frame has some nicks and scuffs to its edges, and there is age toning to the linen border.

    Featuring a luscious landscape with horses grazing in nature by a barn, this composition explores the expressive potential of colour and brushstrokes.

  • Studio Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An excellently executed mid century nude composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist’s use of colour to create depth and contrast, his expressive and painterly brushwork, and the placement of each brushstroke and how it fits into the composition, are a showcase of his technical and artistic mastery. The composition is wonderfully balanced, with the perfect amount of negative space. A rich colour palette applied in long, broad brushstrokes draw our eye to the nude first. We explore the figure – angular and multidirectional brushstrokes that seem effortlessly applied have in fact been considered carefully, creating just the right amount of light and shade. The artist has left out realistic details of the figure’s body, and yet his allusions through the use of colour leave us perfectly content in knowing what we are looking at it – a fine example of his mastery with his medium and colour. The figure is set against rectangular blocks of colour which tease us into exploring the objects around the figure, while providing balance and harmony within the composition.

    The painting is in very good vintage condition and is unframed. It can be hung as is, or set in a new frame. There is a lining around the edges of the stretcher from the previous frame which has worn over time (as shown in close ups), but this can be easily removed.

  • The Quarry

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed mid century modernist semi-abstract landscape composition, painted in 1951.

    This large oil abounds with depth and texture. Layers of rich pigments have been applied in an array of multidirectional brushstrokes. Each stroke stands out from the other, and yet together they combine to make a perfectly harmonious composition.

    The painting is housed in a deep profile champagne coloured wood frame, which brings out the colours in the painting perfectly and has an illuminating effect without being at all overbearing.

  • Coastal Cliff

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and tranquil mid-century modernist coastal scape composition painted in 1957 and executed in oil onto canvas.

    In this picturesque scene of cliffs by a coast, the artist has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details and has reconstructed this composition by reducing the forms down to coloured angular shapes with dark lines as well as painterly brushstrokes.

    Darker muted colours of green, yellow and blue that have been used to depict the cliffs with lush greenery dominate the right side of the painting, and lighter pastel shades of blues and beige depicting the water, sky and sand fill the left side of the painting. The combination of the muted and pastel shades add a very calming and soothing effect to the painting.

    This large painting is housed in a stunning frame with visible grain, and has an inner gilt as well as linen lining. There are 2 tiny spots of paint loss to the left side of the work, but overall, the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Section

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful and emotive mid century modernist abstract composition painted in oil onto canvas.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An incredibly well executed semi abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1967 by the established artist Ivar Morsing.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    This moody, expressionist painting features an array of textured detailing, showing off the artist’s mastery of the medium.  Notwithstanding the dark and deep colour palette, the artist has skilfully created several layers of blended colour that give the painting an illumination from within that was hard to capture in the photos and is much more pertinent in real life.

  • Woman at Desk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and gentle mid-century modernist portrait, executed in oil.

    The composition depicts a female figure in a green dress who has a book placed on her lap. Set against a blueish-grey background, she is sitting on a chair and is beside a brown desk.

    Although an everyday scene, there is something alluring about the simplicity of the scene of which the artist has wonderfully captured.

    All realistic details have been omitted, and the artist has simplified the composition down to painterly elements such as shape, form and colour. In addition to using a restrained soft colour palette, he has also intentionally left the canvas surrounding the female’s silhouette unpainted, adding character to the piece.

    This oil on canvas laid on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are areas of scuff and paint loss across the frame, particularly at the right side.

  • Dockside

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully ambient and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    To the foreground of the composition, a set of railway tracks create a sense of depth and lead our eyes inwards into the picture, where we are met by a set of shipping cranes. To the left of the composition we see a ship docked, and figures underneath the crane. The artist has used a restrained colour palette, focusing on an array of blues, greens and greys to create this wonderfully misty and moody scene. He has used blocks of colours and bold outlines to create the forms and shapes within the picture that give the picture its depth. We get a sense that it is early morning by the harbourside, before the fog has lifted.

    This moody painting depicts a lone figure walking along the river, with a large bridge in front of him.

  • Lake Land

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1970.

    In this picture, two boats sit in shallow waters, and behind them we see a small cottage that is backed by mountains. The artist has painted in distinctly separate planes of colour, using a tiered effect of complementary colours that gives the composition its depth. The palette is restrained, dominated mainly by blues, yellows, greys and browns. The brushstrokes are visible, giving us a sense of the artist’s process of creation as well as giving the painting a textured effect. The painting has a very restful ambience to it, and would be such a fine addition to any interior.

    The painting is housed in a lovely mid century wood frame with an inner gilt border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. There is a small mark on the painting ( we have included a very close up photo of this) but this mark is quite inconspicuous when the painting is up hanging on the wall.

In the distance, a large cloud hangs over a ship, with streams of rain visible. The artist has used two thirds of the composition to paint the sky, yet there is real sense of the vastness of the coastal shoreline. The artist has carefully and delicately used the tip of his brush to paint in wonderful details – such as the little red bed sitting on the line between the poles, the horse drawn cart, the ship out at sea, as well as the lines showing the pouring rain in the distance. The artist has captured the essence of the coastal scene through his expressive yet considered brushwork, imbuing the painting with depth, movement, and tranquillity.

  • On the Fields

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very confidently executed modernist composition in oil, framed and ready to hang.

    Rich and saturated colours fill the canvas, composed in rectangular blocks of contrasting colours. A group of figures are seen seated in the field, presumably taking a rest from a hard day’s work in the field. Both the landscape as well as the figures have been reduced to an outline of forms – the artist has focused on the formal qualities of the scene, emphasising form, colour, shape and line over any realistic details. The result of this is an almost completely abstract composition in non realistic colours that captures the imagination.

    This excellent painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that illuminates the painting beautifully. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Bridge Crossing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but very charming modernist expressionist oil, painted in 1937.

    In this picture we see a figure crossing a stone bridge that leads towards a cottage, surrounded by lush greenery. This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible).

    This vibrant oil composition is housed in a dark wood and gilt frame that suits its homely look. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Jugs

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small yet very striking mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In this well-executed and detailed work of art, there is a strong focus on colours, shapes and form.

    Using a muted earthy colour palette, the artist has thoughtfully used contrasting blocks of colours to illustrate two jugs set against a similarly-coloured background. The differing shades help to create a sense of space as well as make the three-dimensionality of the objects more pronounced.

    Fine and smooth brushstrokes have been used, and in addition to the stunning colours, there is a sense of warmth and gentleness instilled in the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a  mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. There are some marks and minor paint loss at the top of the painting (as it might have been reframed), however the work is in very good vintage condition overall. There are some very minor age spots to the frame.

    Sold

    Measuring over a metre in both width and length, this very large abstract oil composition would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting features large planes of colour, in a very calming palette of blue, grey, brown, white and black. As you study the painting closely, you begin to notice pops of colour within and amongst the sections, such as green, orange and red. The painting is incredibly textured, and features several areas of impasto (where the paint is applied so thickly it stands proud from the surface).  We get a sense of the artist’s movement as he or she works her way across the canvas, moving left and right and up and down. The blocks of colour have been applied in a very considered way, resulting in a very well balanced composition that is very pleasing on the eye.

  • Holding Together

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A stunning abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. The painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.

    Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.

    In this piece, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.

    Her paintings evolve intuitively to find rather than make the work. She continues to build up and simplify until the composition settles cohesively.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK shipping only.

    Measuring over 1.2metres in heights is this sizeable mid century abstract oil composition, painted in 1956.

    Large swathes of brushstrokes in planes of juxtaposing colour create a composition full of depth and texture. The angle of the planes of colour seem to make the painting recede inwards, creating an almost tunnel like effect towards the centre of the composition. The artist has used a wide brush, leaving the strokes of the brush on the canvas visible. We get a sense of the artist moving his arms as he swashes colour over the canvas in a considered way, bring careful to give each colour its space and prominence.

    A skilfully executed mid century modernist style cityscape composition of Stockholm in Sweden, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is a visual feast to the eyes and filled with wonderful details.

In the middle of the painting, we see colourful buildings the stretch into the background of the work and into the horizon. There is also a river surrounding the city and a red bridge that connects across it.

    The artist has paid great attention to form, line and shape, and has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details.

    Using a muted earthy colour palette as well as lightly textured soft brushstrokes, he has reduced and flattened down the cityscape into blocks of contrasting colours to create a wonderful sense of depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century gilt frame which suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has very minor areas of scuffing that do not detract from its overall appeal.

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century still life composition in oil, painted in 1962.

    This still life features a beautifully textured surface, with the artist using very thickly applied layers of paint to create areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. In this composition, we are able to discern a group of lemons and limes in a white bowl, but the artist has left out realistic detailing, focusing instead on the texture and colour of the objects and background. There is a deliciousness and tactility to the creaminess of the thick paint, almost as if the artist is using the medium of paint itself to capture taste and texture of the pictured fruit.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    The painting is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. There is a small 3cm tear to the canvas along the right edge that has been restored from the back. The tear is only noticeable upon close inspection.

  • Three Graces

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century original coloured lithograph by the Italian artist Marino Marini, titled ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’, printed by the well known French printers studio Mourlot in Paris in 1973.

    ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’ (The Rite of Spring) is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was the source of inspiration for this artwork by Marini.

    One of Italy’s most celebrated sculptors of the 20th century, Marino Marini primarily produced figurative bronze sculptures, though his practice also included paintings, drawings and etchings. Marini drew on the tradition of Etruscan and northern European sculpture, reinterpreting classical themes such as the female nude, the portrait bust, and the equestrian figure, which he combined with aspects of modernism—in particular exaggerated and elongated forms. Towards the end of his career Marini’s sometimes-monumental sculptures became increasingly abstracted. On trips to Paris and New York, he associated with Giorgio de ChiricoJean ArpMax Beckmann, and Alexander Calder, among other major modernist artists.

    This coloured lithograph is housed in a simple gilt frame that suits it perfectly. The print is framed behind glass. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Size: 40.5 x 35.5 cm (including the frame)

  • The Look

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century modernist portrait in charcoal and pastel, drawn in 1955.

    The artist has worked boldly and confidently with his medium (charcoal and pastel), to create this striking image of a face. Hard, angular lines in deep black contrast against the pops of colour on the figure’s features. The portrait is set against a charcoal background with visible drawing marks, drawing attention to the medium and the hand drawn nature of the piece.

    This wonderful modernist portrait is framed behind glass, and is housed in a brown frame with visible grain that suits the piece perfectly. Please note that the second photo (where you can see us in the picture if you look closely!) is there to show the visibility of the glass.

  • Orange Road

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully executed mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Here the artist has played with colour, form and texture. A row of houses have been reduced to flat coloured shapes. Using a soothing colour palette, layers of paint have been applied to the canvas to create a textural effect that certainly adds depth and interest to the painting.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits its style. There is slight paint loss and a mark at the top right of the painting, but both painting and frame are in good vintage condition overall.

  • Quiet Evening

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A skilfully executed scenic road landscape composition, executed in oil in 1962.

    There is a charming contrast between the top and bottom half of the painting. In the background – we see lush forestry in the distance set against moody and darker tones.  On the other hand, the foreground of the painting has an array of colourful earthy shades and has more lively atmosphere.

    The artist has reduced and flattened down the road and surrounding landscape into blocks of contrasting colours to create a wonderful sense of depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner linen lining. Both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 39.5 x 89 cm (including frame)

  • Winter Blue

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A really striking abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1995.

    The artist has used broad, expressive and gestural brushwork to depict this composition, using a colour palette that captures the very essence of the cold icy landscape of winter. There is a palpable sense of movement and rhythm within the work – we can imagine the artist’s hand working back and forth, creating a myriad of marks and strokes on the paper. The colours used are also fascinating to explore – as we look closely at the work, a multitude of colours that appear through the layers of paint begin to show themselves.

    This oil is protected behind glass and as such, getting close up photos of the textures and depth proved tricky. The painting has wonderful areas of impasto (where the paint is applied so thickly that it stands proud from the surface), and a whole range of textural details.

    This oil is housed in a white frame and is protected behind glass. Please not that some reflection of the glass is evident in the photographs. The painting has a very small area of surface paint loss when viewed close up, but due to the expressive style and colours of the piece this loss is not very noticeable. It is otherwise in a good and stable condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

  • Seated in Orange

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A small but very striking and expressive portrait in oil, painted on board and mounted within a frame.

    The artist has used a vivid combination of orange, blue and red to compose this scene of a casually seated female figure. The artist has left out the figure’s facial details, focusing instead on the form of the body, and using broad and gestural brushstrokes to create the image. There is a timelessness to the piece that would make it very versatile for any interior. It’s small size would make it a good addition to a gallery wall.

    The painting is housed in a light box frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a mark to the lower right corner of the frame, as shown in photos.

  • Blue Road

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly done mid century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Here the artist has played with colour, form and texture. A row of houses have been reduced to flat coloured shapes, and the artist has used a sgraffito (scratching) technique, probably with the back of his paint brush, to create a textural effect that certainly adds depth and interest to the painting. The artist has used a very soothing, pastel colour palette which makes this painting a wonderful point to rest one’s eyes on.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits its style. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1960.

  • Autumn Wood (Very Large)

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

    A very large and very well executed mid century semi-abstract oil composition, painted onto board.

    This very large painting has much to offer. Spanning 1.13metres in length, it oozes details. Thick and gestural brush strokes of paint in a myriad of autumnal colours encourage our eyes to slowly peel away each layer, taking us on a journey into the depths of this wooded landscape.

    We love how the bottom half of the composition is abstract, yet perfectly captures the essence of the natural forest and its floor teeming with fallen leaves and wildlife.

    The painting is housed in a really robust distressed frame that has hints of red, green and black, bringing out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some general wear that is in keeping with its overall style.

    A stunning abstract composition in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. The painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.

    Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.

    In this piece, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.

  • Sale!

    Flux

    £470

    Available

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A wonderfully rhythmic mid century abstract composition, painted onto board.

    We get a distinct sense that the artist is painting a visual manifestation of a type of movement or motion. The artist has eliminated all naturalistic forms, concentrating instead on the trajectory and direction of the movements. The painting has a limited palette of white, black, grey and green, putting a stark emphasis on the synthesis that the artist achieves with the looped, flowing and intertwined curves. He is perhaps suggesting the passage of time as well as movement in space.

    This acrylic on board is housed in its original silver frame with red undertones. There are minor stains on the top left on the painting, but the piece is in very good vintage condition overall. There are minor scuffs to the frame.

    A large and visually pleasing semi-abstract coastal landscape composition, executed in oil.

    Long horizontal brushstrokes that have been executed in a rhythmic manner fill the canvas, adding an overall soothing effect to the painting. The artist has skilfully reduced what appears to be a coastal sea view and terrain down to planes of contrasting shades of blue, purple, green and brown that harmonise and blend effortlessly into each other.

    This very well executed painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good condition. There are some age spots present to the frame, particularly on the linen.

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

    A vibrant and expressive mid-century modernist style nature landscape painting, executed in oil in 1961.

    The artwork displays a landscape composition of Åmotsdal, a valley and small village in Norway, where 2 houses are depicted in nature with mountains in the background.

    The artist has successfully conveyed the lushness and vibrancy of this nature landscape – as rich and saturated colours in green, blue and brown have been applied to the board through the use of expressive and lively brushstrokes that add a nice texture overall.

    This oil on board is housed in a well-suited grey frame that has an inner linen lining. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are areas of chips and scuffs on the frame, particularly at the bottom (as shown in the images).

  • Forest

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and textured mid century abstract modernist oil composition, painted in 1964.

    Titled ‘Forest (Movement through Forest)’, it gives us wonderful insight into the artist’s source of inspiration. On the one hand, this piece is completely abstract and without its title, we might only see something non-representational. Here at The Discerning Palette, before translating the title, this piece reminded us of levels in an industrial building or something related to construction and the modern industrial world. The title added another layer of meaning to the piece, and opened our eyes to a different interpretation altogether. We were suddenly able to ‘see the wood through the trees’, pun intended.

    Dynamic strokes criss-cross across the canvas in a myriad of angles and levels. Areas of impasto have been created to the thick application of paint, resulting in a piece full of texture and layers of blended and unblended colour.

    This exceptional oil has been framed interestingly, with strips of  clear perspex fixed to the canvas edges. This gives a box like appearance to the piece, and adds to its ‘modern’ look. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame is missing a small corner to the lower right, as shown in the close ups. This missing corner is not obvious until looked at closely.

  • Lady in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun and playful cubist line portrait composition in oil, painted in 1975.

    The female figure’s form has been rapidly distilled into lines of dynamic shape and movement. A style of drawing /painting used by artists like Picasso and Matisse, line art is a tool for the artist to work out complicated ideas, crystallising them with brilliant virtuosity into linear form. Today the influence of line art is everywhere and can be regarded as one of the fundaments of an almost infinitely versatile graphic language. It can be seen not only in the works of countless artists, but also in graphic design, advertising, animation, and equally at home in a viral gif, on a billboard or in museums or galleries.

    Here the artist has also condensed his palette down very effectively into shades of one colour – blue. Beyond the black outline, the picture retains its sense of depth and space through the skilful use of the varying gradients of blue.

    This painting is housed in a simple silver frame that suits it very well, and is in very good vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to the frame which do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • The Seamstresses

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

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

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

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

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

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

    SOLD.

    The artist’s display his painterly skills – as he wonderfully layers contrasting colours upon one another to create this outstanding and lightly textured composition.

    The painting is housed in a light wood frame that has been bleached lightly, with the wood grain still visible. There is some general overall age wear to the piece, but this is in keeping with its vintage style and is commensurate with age.

  • Substance

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and wonderfully textured mid century abstract mixed media on canvas.

    Here the artist has used oil paint mixed with an aggregate to create a sand like texture on the surface of the painting, which has added another layer of depth to the work. The artist has applied large swathes of colour in an expressive manner. We can imagine his brush dancing across the surface of the canvas as it makes its long and gestural marks. The beauty of the abstract nature of this composition is that it can bring to mind several different things depending on the viewer and their experiences, and for us it evokes memories around cliffs and the oceans.

    The painting is housed in a thin wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Yellow Fields

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe & Singapore shipping.

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

    Rural fields of yellow sit underneath a light blue green sky, stretching out far into the distance. A white farmhouse sits quietly in the centre, punctuating the composition ad giving the layout its balance and harmony. Despite the majority of the composition being painted in yellow, the artist skilfully shows us how just one colour in varying tones and shades can still provide so much depth and interest. We see the broad, expressive brushstrokes marked across the canvas, capturing the movement an dynamism of the natural landscape.

    This striking painting is housed in an equally striking frame, which houses it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Ladies Lunch

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A striking and brilliantly mid century cubist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This painting depicts two female figures seated at a balcony table, with a jug and two glasses in front of them. Beyond the balcony is an ocean view with the setting sun.

    The artist has reduced the scene down to its formal qualities, focusing on shape, line, pattern and colour. The figures and the scene surrounding them have been painted from multiple angles under a cubist ethos, resulting in a composition that appears fragmented and abstracted. The artist has also restricted his colour palette, using a majority of vivid red, brown, white and orange in different tones. Notwithstanding the fragmentation and palette, the painting is wonderfully balanced and sings with harmony.

    This piece would make a very striking addition to any interior and would be a real statement piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some damage to the inner section of its lower right corner, as shown in the close up photos.

    Size: 50 x 86 cm (including frame)

  • Road Trip

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

  • Red Quarry

    Sold

    A very well executed and textured mid century modernist semi-abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

    Painted in shades of sanguine, the artist has reduced the landscape of the quarry down to the outline of forms, focusing on the shape, texture, and line of the rocks and the ground. Punctuating the centre of the composition is a green tree, which brings balance and a sense of depth to the landscape.

    Housed in its original mid century frame with a dark wood outer border and an inner linen lined window, this painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some minor scuffs to the frame but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Figures at a Pier

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist composition in oil, painted in 1957 by well known artist Ivar Morsing.

    In typical Morsing style, he has chosen to focus on formal qualities of line, shape, form and colour. He creates beautiful harmony on the canvas, applying contrasting blocks of saturated colour to the surface, illustrating his cubist influences which he is most known for. Strong, rich, and vivid colours of orange, red and white are set against a sky blue. The chosen palette and the was he has placed the complementary colours gives each shade and tone its own prominence.

  • Cadence

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A very large and distinctive mid century abstract oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The artist has not shied away from a dark and heavy palette, applying long and textured brushstrokes in varying shades of black, grey, and brown. The piece is filled with emotion – there is a sense of heaviness and moodiness to it which is just brilliant. We get a sense that the artist is painting in a cathartic manner, expressing his inner feelings onto the canvas. The way some areas of the paint has been allowed to drip down is particularly poignant too.

    This wonderful oil on canvas is housed in a simple wood frame.  There is some light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition overall.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed, pensive mid century modernist still life in oil, painted in 1935.

    Textured, expressionist brushstrokes fill the canvas, capturing a soft light that enters this interior scene. We see two paintbrushes sitting quietly in a ceramic jug on a table, with a window behind it to its right. The artist has beautifully captured the scene – the paintbrushes have seen a day’s work, with remnants of their paint still evident on their tips. The artist has taken these simple objects as his subject, and has shown us how delicate and poignant his tools are to him.

    This wonderful painting is housed in a robust frame which suits it very well. The oil painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs.

  • Dahlias

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very expressive mid century floral still life composition in oil, painted in 1941.

    Reminiscent of still lifes by the well known painter Vincent Van Gogh, this floral oil also features similar characteristics such as the vibrant contrasts of complementary colours, and short and swift expressive brushwork. In this picture, we see a bouquet of dahlias sitting in an aquamarine vase, and behind that sits a green leaved potted plant. On the bottom right, a small bowl punctuates and balances out the composition. Studying the painting up close, we can see how the artist has used criss-cross brushwork to create depth and three dimensionality, as well as capture the effects of light. There is a wonderful sense of movement and dynamism in the picture. and it would make a striking addition to an interior space.

    This large painting is housed in a robust light coloured frame that suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a loss to the top edge, as shown. It is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

  • Eglise

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

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

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

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

    Size: 86 x 105 cm (including frame)

  • Panorama

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A panoramic mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    This restful composition depicts a far reaching landscape sitting under blue skies. The artist has used long and expressive brushstrokes that have been gently but confidently applied, capturing the airy and diaphanous quality of the meadow before him. This simple yet very effective composition would make a perfect resting spot for our eyes, and would suit a bedroom or living room area very well.

    The painting is housed in wide profile frame with a linen-lined border and an inner silver window. The painting has some surface marks but nothing that detracts from its overall attractiveness.  The frame has some minor scuffs.

  • Triptych

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.

    This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.

    What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.

    The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Garden

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A brilliantly executed mid century cubist landscape in oil, painted in 1957.

    We can just about make out a group of houses or sheds with a garden in front of it, but this view has been reduced and flattened down into abstract blocks of colour. Rather than painting the view before him in realistic detail, the artist has chosen to focus instead on the formal qualities of the landscape, such as colour, line, shape, form and pattern. With expressive brushwork, the artist has skilfully used colour theory and has applied a myriad of colours that contrast but harmonise at the same time.

    This very well executed painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good condition. There is some age wear present to the frame.

  • Pots

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A simple but very effective mid century still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Depicted here are 4 pots painted in a rich, earthy colour palette. The artist has used expressive and textured brushstrokes, and has used the juxtaposition of light and dark tones to create a sense of depth and three dimensionality. The pots have been painted close up – their bodies filling the majority of the canvas. There is a wonderful harmony and balance to the composition overall.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that is very well crafted and shows off the grain of the wood. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

  • Iris

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An absolutely lovely mid century floral composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    There is an element of intrigue when it comes to decoding this picture. Just entering the left side of the composition is the edge of the back of an artist’s stretched canvas, with the long stem of the iris flower in the middle, and then to the right we have what looks like a wooden beam at an angle. Is the canvas leaning against the wall? And the beam perhaps the edge of a window? Or is the artist actually facing a mirror, painting the reflection of what he sees, including the back of his canvas?

    The blue that the artist has used is deep and rich. It draws you in and goes perfectly with the wood and gilt frame. The artist has painted the iris flower delicately and intricately, capturing its sumptuous colours and its tall, stout stem.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has a very small area of paint loss to the bottom left section (as seen in close up photo). The frame has some scuffs to its lower edge. Overall the painting and frame is in good vintage condition.

  • Chalk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet very effective mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted on to canvas.

    The artist has used a range of pastel colours, applied to the canvas in broad and expressive brushstrokes that fill the surface. Each mark is gentle, but considered. There is a wonderful harmony in the colours – each tone sits next to another beautifully. The picture has a very calming feel to it, and the texture and detail make it very interesting to explore.

    The painting is housed in a very well crafted wood frame, which suits the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Frosted Fields

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and very picturesque 20th century modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1999.

    The artist has captured the essence and feeling of the cold and wintery rural landscape. 3 solid blocks of brown that represent the farmhouses sit stoically in the field, with a frost covered field before them. The artist has created layers of earthy colours in short and expressive brushstrokes, and has possibly used a sponge like tool to dab out areas, giving this picture a very distinct texture and depth.  To the left a group of alpine trees create balance and structure in the composition.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it very well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scattered scuff marks and scratches, and some general age related wear to the corners.

  • Breeze

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and very beautifully painted mid century oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The artist has captured the soft pervading light over the coastline wonderfully, using a range of very soothing colours to create this composition. Gentle yet expressive brushwork has been used, resulting in lots of texture as well as paint detail for the viewer to explore. The way the artist has painted the diffused light in the water and sky is reminiscent of the way Impressionist painters like Turner captured the ephemeral nature of light.

    This very calm and soothing painting is housed in a stunning grey wood frame with visible grain.  Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Afar

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A long and picturesque mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Using a restricted palette of earthy colours, the artist has painted this rural landscape in an expressive style. Short vertical brushwork is visible over the landscape area, giving this painting a wonderful textural effect. The artist has used contrasting colours and layering to create a sense of depth and space within the picture.

    The painting has a very restful feel to it, and would be a very calming and soothing addition to any interior.

  • Coast Trail

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century coastalscape composition in oil, painted in 1948.

    Painted with broad, expressive brushwork in a semi abstract manner, this composition has a very distinctive feature – its red beach. Although the location is not specified, it could quite possibly be a depiction of the red sand beach in Santorini in Greece. The artist has used a deep and rich colour palette, with strokes that convey the ruggedness and vigour of the coastline. The area of red punctuates the centre of the composition, creating a focal point for the viewer’s eye.  As we shift our focus to the right, we begin to notice the layering and blending of all the various colours that the artist has used. The composition seems to go on far into the horizon, capturing the expanse of the natural landscape.

    The painting is housed in a stunning wood frame with visible grain, and with an inner and outer gilt window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Forage

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A rich and vivid mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Various objects sit on a drop leaf table, including two bottles, a pot of onions, a basket of vegetables, and two apples. This well balanced vertical composition features a rich and deep colour palette, as well as expressive brushwork that is remiscnent of painters like Paul Cezanne.

    The painting is housed in a very well suited light wood frame. The painting has some very small areas of paint loss, as shown in the close up photos. This paint loss doesn’t detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece and is in keeping with its vintage look.

    Please note that the photographs of the painting were taken under natural light and due to the dark colours of the paint, there is some glare evident in the photos.

  • Apples

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and vivid modernist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A group of rosy apples sit on a white plat, set against a cerulean blue background to the top half, and darker greenish-blue to the bottom half of the composition. The pink and yellow of the apples stand out beautifully against the blue, and the artist has captured the light on them skilfully. A diluted layer of paint has been applied to the composition, and the artist has let it naturally move down the painting, creating a drip effect that is most visible along the bottom edge of the composition. This intriguing effect is gives the painting an added layer of texture and depth which makes it very satisfying to look at. The artist is intentionally reminding us that this picture in front of us is indeed a painting, and that we are to notice the materiality of the paint itself.

    The painting is housed in a silver painted wood frame which suits it well and illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • The Hamlet

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

  • Terracotta

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

  • Blue Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very well executed mid century modernist mountain landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Broad, distinct and expressive brushstrokes make up this vivid landscape composition. The artist has skilfully captured the richness and ruggedness of the natural landscapes through his dynamic application of paint and choice of palette. Although the artist has not used an realistic details,  the painting has much to offer in terms of details to explore. The artist has used a myriad of brushwork, from long, broad strokes to smaller dabs and lines of paint. The layers have been built of very effectively to create great depth and space within this panoramic picture.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which complements it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

These elements excite the imagination – depending on the viewer various subjective interpretations can be made. Aside from any interpretation, the coloured forms are in themselves fascinating to look at due to the striking juxtaposition between them and the dark background.

    The frame is housed in a simple red frame which adds to its striking effect. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Black Waves

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid century abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

  • The Women

    Sold

    SOLD

    A large and excellently executed semi-abstract mid century oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    Depicted here are the outlines of several figures crowded together. The artist has applied a myriad of rich, saturated colours with confident and expressive brushwork. He has reduced the figured down to their formal elements – facial and physical details have been abstracted down to skilfully executed paint marks in various flattened shapes, forms and lines. There is wonderful movement, texture and dynamism to the piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which has multiple borders lined in different material. There is both a woven hessian section as well as a linen-lined section.

    Size: 82 x 62 cm (including frame)

  • Nude with Blue

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sensitively painted mid century oil, painted onto board.

    A female figure is depicted sitting on a wooden chair, her gaze turned away from us. Expressive and distinct brushwork has been skilfully used to paint this composition – the artist has successfully captured the form of the body, as well as the way the light hits the figure’s skin. Juxtaposed against the neutral and beige tones of the figure is ablue fabric that has been hung over the chair. This pop of colour not only creates a focal point for our eyes, but also brings a cohesiveness to the composition.

    There is a timelessness to this picture that will make it a fine addition to any interior.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile frame with silver highlights. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scattered areas of paint loss, as seen in the photos.

  • Sea Salt

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very calming and restful mid century coastal composition in oil, painted onto board.

    Using soft, subtle colours for most of the composition, this soothing coastal landscape depicts a sandy beach with a wooded landscape to the right and blue waters to the left. A green bush to the right punctuates the composition and gives our eyes a focal point to rest on. Two white lines that indicate a path lead our eyes far into the distance, giving us a wonderful sense of the expansiveness of the coastalscape, transporting our minds far away to this restful place.  Long, expressive brushwork creates this well balanced composition which has been cleverly split into two angled halves.

    The painting is housed a beautiful wide profile gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The painting has some very minor scuffing which does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Orange Tree

    Sold

    Free UK shipping only.

    A large and very textured mid century modernist landscape oil, painted onto board.

    The artist has used a range of tools that have created different types of marks on the surface. The artist has built up the layers of paint skilfully, creating a composition full of texture and impasto. Rich and saturated colours in orange, blue, yellow, green and black have been applied to the board in an expressive manner, incorporating the artist’s subjective response to the landscape before him. An umbrella like tree punctuates the left side of the picture creating a focus for our eyes. Rich blues span the sky above. and a long path leads our view further into the picture.

    This expressive painting is housed in a very complementary light wood frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the lower edge of the frame but it is in very good condition overall.

  • Winter Rooftops

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but stunning mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1959.

    This excellently proportioned composition features the snow covered rooftops of a group of houses, painted in a soothing and subtle colour palette. The artist guides us into appreciating the formal qualities of this scene, such as the angular lines and shapes of the roofs, doors and windows, the geometry of the houses stacked up against each other and the repeated patterns created by colour, shape and line. Contrasted against the very angular structures of the buildings are the more free flowing trees, whose branches peek out above the rooftops. The red and ochre walls of the houses and the blue of the sky stand out beautifully against the large planes of white snow.

    This painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame with a lighter inner window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very soothing and restful mid century landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.

    A winding river leads our eye deep into the picture, transporting us into this rural wintery landscape surrounded by nature, where pockets of snow rest quietly on the ground. In the distance we see a wooded landscape lining the horizon, with just the tops of the mountains peaking out from behind. The rising sun casts its pinkish – purple hue over the landscape, giving this picture its warm glow. The artist has skilfully captured the peaceful and tranquil feel of this rural landscape through the use of expressive brushwork and colour.

    The painting is housed in  a very complementary gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Viola

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto board.

    Here the artist has applied expressive brushstrokes in vivid colour to compose a semi-abstract mountain scene. Using non naturalistic colours, the artist has incorporated an expressive and emotional response to the landscape before him, capturing both the ruggedness and beauty of the natural landscape. His short and swift strokes applied with a brush in a myriad of colours create wonderful pockets full of colourful detail to look at and enjoy.

    The painting is housed in an excellent frame which has a a linen lined border and an inner gilt window which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is a small area of surface dirt along the top edge of the painting, as shown in the photos. This does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    Construction 2

    £300

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional work features cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials.  It is a fine example of technical mastery and the organisation of material. Here the role of the artist as ‘painter’ has been re-imagined – the artist is an engineer wielding tools instead of a painter holding a brush. The art has been ‘built’, rather than emerging from an expressive impulse or an academic tradition. As a result, the artwork is intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.

    Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

    Size: 38 x 48 cm (including frame)

    This painting matches perfectly with another piece by the same hand, and you can purchase them as a set here.

  • Mellow 1 & 2

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning pair of abstract compositions in oil, painted by British artist Marian Hyland. Each painting is housed in a handmade frame (by the artist) which has been crafted specifically for the painting that sits within it.

    Marian’s practice centres around the relationships of space, shape and colour, created by the interplay between drawing, painting and collage.

    In this pair, the process of mark making and layering, informed by observations of natural environmental processes (e.g. textures and marks left behind through decay/neglect, industrial architecture/landscapes and random associations of objects and surfaces) are important factors in the work.

    Her paintings evolve intuitively to find rather than make the work. She continues to build up and simplify until the composition settles cohesively.

  • Glory

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK shipping.

    A very large and very bold original mid century composition in oil, painted in 1967.

    In this striking painting, a figure stands with arms held high, carrying a fish. Three birds circle the figure and fish, and a round, shining yellow sun shines down from the top right corner. The painting has been painted in a distinctly modernist style, taking influence from the simplified, stylised and monumental figures of Iberian and African tribal art and sculpture. The celebratory way in which the figure holds up his catch imbues this painting with such joy and exultation.

    The large size, colour palette, texture and subject matter of this painting would make it a real statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in wide profile dark silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 95 x 79 cm (including frame)

  • Marmalade Landscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An exceptional mid century modernist composition in oil, painted on to board.

    Swathes of rich, saturated colour connect and intersect to create this striking landscape composition. Using a range of non naturalistic colours to depict the landscape, the artist reduces the scene before him down into shapes, forms and patterns, Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and traditional methods of perspective cast out. Instead, the artist focusses on formal qualities, and uses contrasting colour to create depth and space. Also incorporated into the composition are elements of cubism and abstract patterning.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. There is some craquelure (typical for an oil of this age) to the lower half of the painting but the paint surface on the entire composition is very stable. There is some surface wear to the inner edge of the right side of the painting, as shown in the close ups.

  • Country Fields

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.

    There is a striking contrast between the top half and the bottom half of the composition, which makes this painting very interesting to admire. To the top half of the composition we have much shorter, softer brushwork, which give us a sense of the light movement and airiness of the sky. Punctuating the composition just off centre, is a standing tree, giving our eyes a point of rest, before we work our way downwards to the bottom of the composition. To the lower half, we see the use of much stronger, bolder colours as well as thicker and more textured paint application. Rather than painting the field realistically, the artist has reduced the details down to abstracted forms – planes and brushstrokes of earthy colours that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, successfully giving this painting its sense of space and depth.

    The excellent landscape painting is housed in a stunning gilt frame. The paintings is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs commensurate with age, which certainly do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Country Path

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellent mid century expressionist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This expressive work features free brushwork as well as generous and textured paint application. Simple in composition yet complex in execution, the artist has swift and multi direction brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space. This use of non naturalistic colour and dynamic paint application charges this painting with emotion – the artist has incorporated his own response to what he sees, capturing the ‘feel’ of the landscape.

    The striking painting is housed in light wood frame with gilt highlights that complements the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sky

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliant modernist abstract composition in oil, painted in 1967.

    Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the surface to create this abstract composition. The subtle nuances in tones and shades create a rather satisfying composition, encouraging our eyes to follow the expressive brushwork around the canvas. The sweeping of the brushwork adds to the  impact of the painting and brings our attention to the materiality of the creamy paint and the physical movement of the artist’s hand. The areas of pronounced impasto add a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the painting.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Stockholm in Winter

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very pleasing and well executed mid century river & city scape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting has a beautifully gentle feel to it – the artist has used mostly soft colours in a pastel palette, with the exception of darker colours for the wood structures within the scene. The artist has successfully conveyed the softness of fresh snow that has covered the landscape. The cityscape of Stockholm under a pastel sky lines the back of the composition, while in the foreground we see a boat docked on the river Söderström. In the foreground, the artist has used richer, darker colours contrasted with the white snow to give our eyes a focus, and then lightening as we move further back into the composition. The movement of the brushwork is also interesting to notice, with areas of more distinct horizontal and vertical strokes contrasting against other areas with shorter, swifter strokes.

    The painting is housed in a beautifully rustic wood frame with an inner gilt border, as well as a cream coloured slip. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The inner border of the frame has some marks, as shown in the photos.

  • Vessel & Fruit

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A rather skilfully executed mid century still life in oil, painted onto board.

    Here we have a very balanced and visually pleasing composition of a vessel with fruit in front of it, including berries, figs and squash. Wide and expressive brushstrokes fill the canvas, giving this composition its vigour and dynamism. Despite the style of the painting being expressive rather than realistic, the composition very skilfully still conveys great detail – we get a palpable sense of the ripeness of the round berries and the cold, hard texture of the ceramic vessel.

    There is a timelessness to this picture that would make it an easy fit in most interiors. The painting is housed in a silver frame which complements it well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good condition overall.

  • Harbour Sunrise

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A really stunning mid century marina view composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has worked in a post-impressionist style, skilfully using non realistic colours that are more expressive and personal to convey the way the light touches the landscape and its resulting reflections. As a result, we see an almost kaleidoscope like array of colours in the composition. The composition is grounded by the deeper, darker colours along the bottom half, which also has larger areas of colours compared to the more horizontal brushwork we see in the upper half of the composition.

    This wonderful landscape is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blue Vase

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully striking mid century still life, painted in oil onto board.

    In this composition, a blue vase filled with white flowers sits alongside a smaller white vessel and a peach laying on its side. The artist has used a very vivid and rich colour palette, contrasting deep greens and oranges against the striking cobalt blue of the vase. There is a brilliant sense of harmony and balance within the picture, both in terms of colour as well as composition. The artist has used short, expressive brushstrokes for the background, giving the picture a sense of depth and space.

    There is a timelessness to this picture that would make it an easy fit in any interior.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame that suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a minor scuff top right (as shown), but is otherwise in very good condition.

  • Smile

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully fun and playful original artist’s proof lithograph, signed by Leif Sylvester and inscribed ‘E.A’ (épreuve d’artiste) to the bottom.

    An artist proof print has a connection to limited edition prints. These prints are used as a test print by the artist and kept for their personal collection. Traditionally the artist would take the proof straight off the printing press and amend the colours and quality. Then, once the artist was happy with the proof, they would then proceed with the limited edition print.

    Artist Proofs are generally valued higher than other prints in the edition, due to the rarity and small quantity of them. Oftentimes the Artist Proof are altered from the final edition, creating a uniqueness to them that is very desirable.

    This lithograph is housed behind glass in a complementary silver frame. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Trellis

    £350

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In the centre of the composition we see thickly applied layers of paint and this area of impasto in grey and rust brown creates an initial focal point. The composition has a grid like effect, with layers of paint contrasting against each other in a myriad of ways. The crossed angles in which the paint has been applied create a distinct sense of depth to the painting, drawing our eyes further and further inward to discover the various layers. The lighter colours sit underneath the darker, earthier colours, giving it a luminous effect.

    Although the picture does not depict anything identifiable, it is very expressive and emotional in its effect,  created both through the colour palette as well as the gestural way in which the paint has been applied.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a linen lined border.  There are some age spots on the top left of the painting, but it is overall in good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the frame, commensurate with its age.

  • The Wait

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very well executed 20th century modernist style oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    The artist has left out realistic details, reducing the landscape down to planes of colour that blend effortlessly into each other, while still creating a sense of depth and space on the canvas.  In the centre of the composition we see a group of farmhouses painted in vivid dark brown and white, creating a focal point and drawing our eyes inward initially. As we shift our focus to the lower half of the composition where the fields have been depicted, angular shapes in soft colours fit together seamlessly like a jigsaw puzzle. Despite the angled shapes,  there is a distinct softness to it that makes it very visually pleasing. As we move upwards, a woodland sits behind the farmhouses, giving the composition a wonderful balance and sense of harmony. The artist has used the colour palette very skilfully to full effect, giving the picture a wonderful luminosity.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it perfectly. The paining is in good condition. There is a light white vertical surface mark below the farmhouses, as shown in close up photos. The frame has some scuffing the left and top edges, but does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very striking mid century abstract modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1955.

    Blocks of colour skilfully contrasted against each other create a sense of depth and space. The artist has reduced what appears to be a mountainous landscape down to an abstract layout of coloured blocks, focussing on form, shape, pattern and line. We can almost feel the artist at work – creamy layers of paint applied with his brush, one stroke at a time, his wrist moving in a series of angles.  Punches of strong, deep colour juxtapose against lighter, creamier, areas. This painting is  indeed a very satisfying one to appreciate.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist oil composition, painted in 1959.

    Here the artist depicts 3 chickens, but has intentionally left out realistic details and has instead chosen to focus on the formal qualities of shape, line and colour. He has also incorporated lots of texture by using thick paint applied in quick successive motions. This playful picture has been skilfully executed and would make a wonderful addition to any interior.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame with a linen lined border. Both paining and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs to the left edge but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    Size: 45 x 54 cm (including frame)

  • Awash

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An elegant and textured mid century abstract composition in oil, painted in 1959.

    Abstract and non-representational in nature, the artist encourages us to focus instead on the materiality and motion of the paint and brushwork. Gestural marks have been applied in a considered manner, making sure to keep its balance and colour harmony.  Although very much subject to personal interpretation, we think the dynamism, textures and colours of this painting could be reminiscent of the sea and its reefs.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a linen border. The painting has some scattered craquelure, typical for a painting with thickly applied paint of this age. The paint layer is stable overall and both painting and frame are in good condition otherwise.

  • Lavender

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soothing and elegant abstract composition in oil, painted in 1969.

    This luxurious painting features soft, gentle colours, while still incorporating areas with great texture and depth. In the centre of the composition we have areas of impasto, where the paint has been thickly applied so its stands proud from the surface, creating an area of focus for the viewer. Our eyes are then gently led outwards towards to the more blended areas. Despite the composition not being of anything identifiable, this abstract piece has a very distinct emotional and aesthetic impact. We are encouraged to focus on the materiality of the paint, the colours, and the effect that has both visually and emotionally.

    This abstract painting would certainly elevate any interior space and add a touch of luxury.

    It is housed in a very complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Over the Fields

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and textured mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Expressionist and yet very detailed, textured brushwork creates the wonderfully balanced composition of a long farmhouse within a rural landscape. The farmhouse sits surrounded by fields and woodland, and the artist has used a very rich, earthy palette to create this composition. The textured way in which the paint has been applied conveys the rustic feel of the natural landscape.  The long composition gives us a sense of the expansiveness of this rural scene.

    This large painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which has a beautiful woven border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a small nick to the top edge (as seen in the close up photo), but this does not detract from the overall appearance of the frame which is otherwise in good condition.

  • Purple Skies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed mid century landscape composition in oil, painted in 1946.

    Here the artist has worked in a post impressionist style, emphasising symbolic content, formal order and structure. Using non naturalistic colours to paint the landscape before him, the artist has used colour to incorporate an emotional and aesthetic response. The artist has also emphasised the paint on the surface of the canvas, flattening the sense of perspective through a lack of tonal modelling, and using planes and blocks of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame that enhances the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life, Painted Objects

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful still life composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick, oil pastel and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.  

     

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • Essence Landscape, Bird, Fish

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage.

The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.  

     

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick, oil pastel and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

  • Greek Coast

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK shipping.

    A large and atmospheric mid century composition in oil, depicting a coastal sunset in Rhodes, Greece.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, gestural brushwork creates this picturesque composition of a coastal sunset. Two coastal rocks flank the left side and are painted in a reddish brown colour with orange highlights, signalling the beginning of the evening light. The sun can be seen in the middle of the composition, its rays reflecting off the calm water at low tide.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and surface marks to the inner gilt window, and the linen lined border has some age toning, as seen in photos.

    Size: 60.5 x 80.5 cm (including frame)

  • Winter Boats

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very atmospheric mid century oil composition, painted in 1967.

    Two boats sit quietly on the ice, a static but powerful image. The red and black of the boats contrast starkly against the white and light blue of the ice. Thickly applied layers of paint capture the robustness and depth of the winter ground. We can imagine the artist moving his paint brush in a dance across the surface, building up the layers slowly but surely.  Two thirds of the composition is dedicated purely to the white icy ground, giving us a sense of the expansiveness of the wintery landscape.

    The painting is housed in a stunning wide profile frame with an inner gilt border that further illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Horses on the Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed mid century composition in oil, painted in 1949.

    In this picture, we see a a group of animals including a horse grazing on the meadow. Long, gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas with thick paint, creating a wonderfully textured effect.  The artists skilful and expressive brushwork blends the paint beautifully to create the three dimensional forms of the animals. It is clear that the artist has incorporated more than just the visual scene before him – we get a sense of the way the light hits the meadow, the slight wind in the air, the movement of the sky above and the blades of the grass below.

    This excellent painting is housed in a solid wood frame which adds to its ‘country’ appeal. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Country in Colour

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

  • Spanish Evening

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed mid century semi abstract oil on board, painted in 1959 by well known  artist Ivar Morsing.

    Three figures working the land are depicted against an abstract background. A deep, rich and vivid palette of browns, orange, black and greens give this picture its punch. Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for. This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

    The painting is beautifully framed in deep blue frame with an ornate gilt inner section. The frame really enhances the piece and brings out the rich colours in the painting. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Pears

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed  mid century still life in oil, painted by the established artist Eric Cederberg.

    Thick swirls of creamy paint form the background of the top half of the composition, and then below this we have a darker brown area with outlines in thick strokes that mimic the appearance of wood grain. Contrasted against this earthy palette are three bright and vivid pears, still connected to their branches and their ochre leaves. There is a beautiful balance to the horizontal composition, which Cederberg is known to be adept at achieving.

    Cederberg was a Swedish artist who made his debut on the art world in Helsingborg in 1922.  Later he participated in the  Skåne Art Association Exhibition in 1926 and the  Swedish Public Art Society exhibition in Stockholm in 1941. He is represented in several public collections in Sweden.

    This painting is housed in an absolutely gorgeous champagne frame with a wide profile. The painting has some scattered craquelure but is stable overall and is in good condition otherwise. The frame is in good vintage condition.

  • Colour Composition

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and colourful mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

    This abstract expressionist composition features a myriad of gestural brushstrokes in a vivid array of colours. We get a sense of the artist’s brush and the vigour in the way it moves on the canvas, applying sections of colour in quick and swift strokes. Yet the composition and the overall balance of colours and the way they have been placed on the canvas is carefully considered, creating a picture that has a distinct harmony, balance and vividness.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    A large and very well executed 1959 limited edition (28/30) lithograph, signed by Waldemar Sjölander.

    The artist uses  tonal gradation, outlines, and shapes to create this playful composition. The figure is fragmented into several three dimensional forms, and plays on optical illusion.

  • The Boat

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small, mid century oil on board, painted in 1957.

    A seemingly simple yet very effective composition of a boat, painted in a semi abstract manner. The artist has  applied bold, broad and textured brushstrokes on the board, in deep, rich, vivid colours. Through the use of colour, the artist suggests to the viewer that this is a scene at sunset. The horizontal brushstrokes in the background  start off in a palette of blues, suggesting the sea, and then as we move upwards, the artist has incorporated reds, pinks, yellows, and orange tones to capture the sunset sky.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Village Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century street scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Executed in an expressionist style, the artist has used broad and expressive brushstrokes in an array of earthy colours to create this composition. Subtle tonal variations and a skilful use of complementary colours create a sense of depth as well as light and shadow. A group of figures can be seen in the foreground, and behind them sit several light coloured houses. At the top of the composition we see the rolling hills in deeper darker colours.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame with an outer dark border which complements the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Lane

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

  • Gentil

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing mid century lake landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Soft pastel colours have been applied in an expressive manner, creating a composition of a calming lake scene. There is almost a watercolour-like effect, where the artist has managed to very skilfully capture the reflective nature of the water. The artist has also captured the effect of light and movement in the landscape, giving us the sense that he has painted the picture ‘en plein air’ (the practice of painting a picture outdoors).

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Crossing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and beautifully textured mid century landscape with reindeer, painted in oil onto board.

    This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features thick, bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible). That being said, the artist has managed to strike a find balance between an emotional response and capturing the scene before him and how it looked. The combination of the texture and colouring of this painting makes it a stand out piece.

    The painting is also housed in an excellent castleton green frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some losses to the lower section of the inner white border of the frame that are only visible upon close inspection. These losses do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Vista

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

    This long and very restful landscape features short and expressive brushstrokes in an array of soft colours. A row of white stepping leads our eyes leftwards and upwards along the bottom edge of the composition, reaching the area of sloping layered greens. This then takes our view back downwards towards what appears to be a pond or lake on the right side of the composition.

    This painting has a very soothing effect and would suit a bedroom or above-the-bed wall perfectly.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fortify

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking mid century abstract composition painted in oil.

    Our eyes are initially drawn towards the right side of the composition, where darker, wider and more controlled brushstrokes mark the canvas vertically. As our eyes move leftwards, these strokes become looser, less controlled and more discordant. The composition is a skilful balance of spontaneity and tight control, and conveys strong emotion and perhaps the inner impulses of the artist.

    The painting is housed in a dark gilt frame which suits it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks, mainly to the lower edge, but these do not at all detract from the main painting.

    Size: 57 x 91 cm (including frame)

    Large and gestural sweeping brushstrokes contrast against thin, angular outlines in black. 2 bottles in the middle ground are discernible, alluding to the fact that the scene pictured before us is a still life of objects on a table. The artist employs some cubist elements too, flattening out the scene and incorporating multiple views to create this abstracted and fragmented scene.

    The painting is housed in a painted wood frame, with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Size: 59.5 x 78.5 cm (including frame)

  • Boys

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An excellently executed semi abstract mid century portrait, painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a vivid and bold colour palette, incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality. The features of the figures have been left out, focusing instead on the shape and form of them, giving this painting a timelessness. There is an innocence to the way the artist has painted the figures, capturing the youth of the figures.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame which has an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs which are only noticeable upon close inspection.

    Size: 37 x 62 cm (including frame)

  • Mauve

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but compelling mid century abstract, painted in oil onto board.

    There is a very satisfying sense of movement and rhythm within the composition, created through sweeping gestural brushstrokes. Areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and so stands proud from the surface) give the painting its texture and depth. The painting is reminiscent of vigorous waves of an ocean, or of a mountain landscape with wind and snow. Either way,  there is a palpable feeling of nature and its forces.

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

  • Beyond the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A luscious and striking semi-abstract mid century landscape in oil, painted in 1961 by well known Swedish artist Ivar Morsing.

    In this picture, deep, rich, vivid greens juxtapose beautifully against the yellows and creams of the foreground and sky.

    Though no realistic details are present, the artist skilfully conveys the forms of the landscape such that we are able to discern them. Thick swirls of green in a range of tones make up the forms of the trees, creating areas of impasto that add texture and three dimensionality to the painting. Morsing punctuates the composition with a light coloured building in the distance, giving our eyes a focal point as well as adding a distinct sense of depth that lead our eyes in and around the picture.

    There is a palpable ‘softness’ to the way Morsing has painted the landscape, which is distinctive of his style (to see other paintings by Morsing in our collection click here).

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame red undertones. The frame has some general wear and paint loss, commensurate with age.

  • Sunset View

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large, expressive and textured winter landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Confident, gestural brushstrokes fill the majority of the picture, giving the painting a wonderful sense of depth and complexity. The white layers over the tonal gradations of blue give the painting a luminosity – conveying the sense that certain areas of the snow are reflecting light from the sun above. To the right in the distance we see a set of farm houses, and to the left the picture is punctuated by 3 trees, painted in boldly.

    The painting is housed in a mid century wood frame. The painting has some craquelure present to the left side, but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some age toning and general wear commensurate with age, and is also stable.

  • Green Land

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid century oil, painted onto board.

    A row of farmhouses lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above that pan out in to the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky which mimics the lightest greens of the fields.

    There is a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life..

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame, that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of scuff on the frame.

  • Beach Day

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An original mid century semi-abstract coastal composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has added an aggregate to the paint, giving the painting a very textured effect. In addition to this, he has used thick swirls of paint creating areas of impasto which add to the three dimensionality of the painting. The gestural strokes give the painting a sense of movement, capturing the physicality of the wind and waves of the seaside.

    Vivid colours fill the composition, from the orangey yellows of the sand, to the blues and whites of the ocean, as well as the the blueish greys of the sky. The artist has painted an outline of a figure to the left side of the composition, and has used a very interesting technique by making the figure almost translucent, as if he or she is almost at one with the seascape.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general wear and scuff, commensurate with age.

    Expressive, gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, with textured strokes creating areas of impasto that have been layered over smoother swathes of colour. A rich, autumnal palette has been used, and although no realistic details of the trees have been depicted, we get a palpable sense of the lushness of the forest. Through the use of contrasting colour the artist has skilfully conveyed a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the forested landscape.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones, and the frame illuminates the painting. Please note that some glare is present in the photographs.

  • Girl with Pots

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and vibrant mid century semi-abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A myriad of patterns and colours have been applied to the canvas, creating a wonderful scene of a seated lady surrounded by pots and plants. To the top left we see the suggestion of trees, and then to the middle ground a range of leafy plants around the seated figure. The scene is punctuated by a large bowl, covered in a colourful pattern. The artist skilfully uses colour and shape to its full potential, combining a mix of both fluid expressive brushstrokes with more controlled, restrained angled shapes. The composition is such an expression of liveliness and playfulness, with all the individual elements bouncing off one another and yet harmonising wonderfully.

    This oil on canvas is housed in white wood frame with an inner silver window that pairs perfectly with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Soft Emerging Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.  

     

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work. 

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

     

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • The Quiet Season

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautiful and picturesque mid century landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A set of farmhouses line the middle of the composition, surrounded by a cold winter landscape. To the foreground is a wonderful layering and texturing of dark and white paint, perfectly capturing the essence of the snow covered ground. These bold, expressive brushstrokes contrast starkly with the winter trees, whose leafless branches have been painted with a much lighter hand. There is a stillness and quietness to this crisp, cold winter landscape painting that gives a lovely sense of calm.

  • Onlooker

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely mid century oil on board depicting a homely setting, with a standing female figure.

    We see only the back of the figure, who stands looking out the window, with a chair next to her that she is leaning on. There is a sense that she is waiting for something or someone, perhaps the safe arrival of someone close to her. Other than the greenery outside the window, we can’t see what she sees, giving the painting an air of mystery and intrigue. What has she seen? What is she waiting for?

    The artist has used a very earthy palette in the execution of this painting, giving it a very homely, warm feel. The paint has been applied in an expressive manner. with lots of texture and depth.

    This oil on board is housed in a lovely grainy wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in good vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

  • Red Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A well executed mid century oil on canvas depicting a standing figure.

    A simple yet very effective composition – the artist draws our attention to form, line and texture. We see a rust coloured silhouette of a figure, set against a similarly sanguine background. The surface is very much textured with areas of impasto as a result of the artist’s use of a palette knife. We can discern his technique and the way in which he has chosen to layer the paint, giving this painting quite a raw effect. The scale of the figure is striking, as is the colour in which it has been painted, which has a clay like quality to it.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones which draws out the colours of the painting well. The painting is in good vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

  • White Winter

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A semi abstract mid century oil on canvas of a winter landscape, painted in 1957.

    In this painting the artist immediately draws our attention to the expansiveness of the snowy fields by dedicating two thirds of the composition to white, snow covered pasture. In the horizon was see a spread of farmhouses, whose scale is tiny compared to the vastness of the fields. There is a quietness and stillness to the painted scene, which has a very calming and restful effect.

    This oil on canvas has light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame with red undertones that that has light wear and minor scuffs, but in keeping with its overall look.

  • Terrene

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    An excellently executed mid century abstract oil, framed in its original wood frame.

    Expressive brushwork is combined with areas of sgraffito (where the artist has used a tool to scratch into the paint) creating a range of textures as well as varying levels of depth. The restrained colour palette as well as discernible differences in methods of paint application give this painting its very raw, organic quality. Despite its abstract composition, we get a sense that the artist was inspired a connection to the natural landscape and terrain.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which complements it excellently. This oil painting has been executed on a canvas sheet, that has been laid on board.

  • Siesta

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A wonderfully simple yet very effective composition, executed in oil in 1947. The artist has painted a scene of a figure lying in bed, but has paired it down to large swathes of colour and broad brushstrokes. For example, the artist has painted the figure’s head with three simple strokes in non-realistic colours. Leaving out any realistic detail, the artist uses contrasting colour very effectively, even allowing parts of the canvas to show through. The combination of minimal use of paint and effective technical skill allows us to really take in and enjoy all the discernible details while having a timelessness that enables this picture to suit many interior settings.

  • Blue Landscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    An expressive and uniquely textured modernist style landscape composition, rendered in oil on canvas.

    An aggregate has been added to the surface – which wonderfully simulates the granular nature of sand, creating an almost three dimensional and sculptural effect to the painting.

  • Beneath

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully textured and expressive mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting is visually calming in appearance, as it is composed with a colour palette comprising various shades of grey as well as underlying darker shades of blue, black and brown.

    The artist has skilfully used the impasto technique – applying thick layers of paint to provide a textural dimension to the artwork. This thick accumulation of paint that lends a three-dimensional quality not only adds character to the piece, but a sense of dynamism too.

  • Fields of Gold

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking expressionist mid century landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Using a lively palette comprising shades of yellow, white, grey and touches of pink and green, the artist has used short and painterly brushstrokes to create this uplifting yet relaxing composition. A fence is depicted running through lush yellow fields, with a gate opening in the middle of the landscape.

    Upon having a close-up look at the painting, one can notice the artist’s display of painterly skills – as he wonderfully layers colours upon one another to create this outstanding and lightly textured composition.

  • Wetland

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An atmospheric and visually calming mid century landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist reconstructs this nature wetland with a foggy feel in a semi-abstract manner through the use of a restrained palette, flattened forms and painterly brushstrokes.

    The contrasting lighter and darker muted tones makes the painting very well balanced. The work has a thoroughly soothing effect, and there is a satisfying cohesiveness in the picture overall.

  • Gather

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and elegant mid century painting by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, executed in oil onto board.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has left out realistic details as he depicts a group of figures gathering together.

    Gentle yet expressive brushwork with precise strokes and a subtle blending of a rich palette comprising shades of yellow, white and brown fill the canvas.

    The artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

    This oil on board is housed in a beautiful gilt frame with an inner linen lining and gilt window.  Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Shift

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and lightly textured abstract oil painting, that has been reduced down to block of colours and expressive brushstrokes.

    Layers of horizontal planes of saturated colours fill the canvas, and this pattern instils a sense of orderliness in the painting.

    The artist has used a lively palette, and the plethora of colours used shift between shades so harmoniously. At the top of the painting, we see planes of varying shades of blues. As we look further down, darker shades of browns and reds fill the bottom left of the work whereas yellows and orange sit at the bottom right of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame. There are very minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age), but the painting is in very good vintage condition overall.

  • Offload

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

  • The Dancer

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A distinctly modernist oil portrait of an African female figure in tribal dress, painted in 1959.

    Deep and rich planes of colours fill the canvas, with angular forms and distinct lines building up into a semi abstract portrait. We see the figure in side profile, arms and legs in the midst of movement.  The artist teases our eye – we are unable to discern where her dress and legs end, and where the background begins. Angled planes of white surrounding the figure illuminate her  upper body, skilfully narrowing our eyes towards the main figure, before then dispersing as the body and background become indistinguishable.

    The surface of the painting has also been coated with a layer of varnish. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork. Do not that some glare is present in the photographs.

    This oil on board is housed in a wood frame that pairs perfectly with the painting. There are areas of light craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but is in good vintage condition overall.

  • Chartreuse

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century abstract modernist oil, painted onto canvas.

    Large gestural brushstrokes in rich earthy colours of green, brown and yellow have been applied to the canvas, creating a composition that takes its inspiration from the landscape. The sweeping of the brush work adds to the emotive impact of the painting and brings our attention to the materiality of the paint and the physical movement of the artist’s hand.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which plays off the colours of the painting brilliantly. There is an area of restoration to the top half of the painting, where surface paint loss appears to have been filled in (unless viewed closely, it looks like an area of impasto rather than a condition issue). There is light scattered craquelure present but the paint layer is stable overall.

  • The Vineyard

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly striking and large mid century oil landscape, painted onto canvas and framed in a simple wood frame.

    Reminiscent of compositions by the very well known Modernist painter Paul Cezanne, this painting features similar brushstrokes that are ever shifting, overlapping, and breaking apart before coming back together again. The artist has used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. He showcases his adept skills and proficiency with a palette knife, creating beautiful patterns and layers of blended and unblended colour with his tool.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Calla Lilies in the Moonlight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century still life in oil, painted in 1948.

    A group of fluted flowers sit within a simple cylindrical vase on a windowsill. The way in which the artist has painted the moonlight streaming in gives this painting its distinctly cinematic quality.  The glow of the flowers underneath the moonlight add to this dramatic effect. The colour palette has a hint of melancholia, where deep colours of blue and green repeat throughout the composition, from the flowers, to the vase they sit in , to the sill and to the window. With its richly romantic character and its delicately balanced composition, this mid century oil would definitely add something special and elevate the space it is hung in.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. The ornate decorative gilt frame within which it is housed suits the dramatic nature of this painting wonderfully.

  • Pastel Valley

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually striking and uplifting modernist landscape composition, executed in oil in 1956.

    This atmospheric painting presents a scenic view of a pathway winding through lush trees and houses in a valley.

    Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this landscape scene by reducing its forms down to coloured shapes and distinct brushstrokes.

    Blocks of contrasting muted pastel shades have been executed with expressive and painterly brushstrokes, imbuing the work with an energising feel whilst demonstrating depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a unique gilt and black frame that enhances the painting. There are minor areas of scuff and paint loss on the frame.

  • Winter Path

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet captivating mid-century winter landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A restrained palette of mellow tones have been used, capturing the solitude and cold of the season.

    Although the snow-filled pathway forms a large proportion of this picture, our eyes are drawn to the top right corner of the painting upon first glance. These darker shades of the trees first capture our attention, as our eyes then shift focus downwards of the painting as the colours transition to lighter shades.

    The artist has worked with the paint dynamically, as the textured painterly brushstrokes add a wonderful raw and textual quality to the overall composition.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which suits it very well.

  • Mountain Trail

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive modernist style oil painting, presenting a mountainous landscape with trees.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has simplified forms down to blocks of distinct colours and expressive brushstrokes.

    A playful selection of rich and lively colours harmonise wonderfully to form this panoramic landscape view, and the use of contrasting shades demonstrate depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful light wood frame with an inner silver window that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of paint loss to the painting and light scuffs to the frame. Nevertheless, this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and the work is good vintage condition.

  • Quiet Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calming mid-century modernist style landscape scene of a town, executed in oil.

    A row of white buildings sit in between 3 shrubs in the foreground, and a lush hill in the background.

    The artist has used a restrained muted earthy palette that consists primarily of green, brown and white shades to create this soothing atmospheric view.

    Painted in an expressive manner, we see bursts of swift painterly brushstrokes sweeping across the canvas in a confident manner, imbuing with work an uplifting feel.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The frame has some areas of scuff, and the linen lining on the frame has some age toning commensurate with age and in keeping with its style.

  • Home

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A  large and well executed mid century landscape in oil, painted on canvas.

    A large cottage centres the composition, with other outbuildings surrounding it, flanked by green trees. This cottage is probably located by the sea, as on the right side we can see the tops of masts of docked boats.

    This panoramic landscape is wonderfully calm and tranquil, with its expansive layout in deep blues and greens. Its long horizontal layout and restful composition would make it the perfect piece to hang above a bed. The painting has a thoroughly soothing effect.

    The painting is housed in its original light wood mid century frame with a wide linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some ageing commensurate with age and widening to corner joints.

    Summer Window

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and well executed semi-abstract still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The painting features fauvist elements, such as the unusual juxtaposition of colours as well as the highly gestural application of paint.

    A bowl and a candelabra sit along a windowsill with 3 large window panes that look out onto a plant filled view as well as  a gate and street line. The artist has skilfully used his paint and colours sparingly, yet has managed to convey such an array of elements within his abstract and gestural strokes.

    There is a wonderful diaphanous quality to this painting which makes it such a unique statement piece.

    The painting is housed in a simple oak frame which complements it brilliantly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The wood frame has some minor scuffs.

    Summer Walk

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bright and very well executed mid century oil, painted in canvas.

    We see a female figure en verso, her form reduced to a series of thin outlines in black. Wide and sweeping brushstrokes in pastel colours have been applied – vertical strokes for the figure, and horizontal strokes in the background. This seemingly simple composition has in fact been very skilfully executed, with the contrasting shades of non realistic colour creating depth and a sense of space, light and shadow.

    The painting is housed in a thin frame, which gives it a contemporary edge. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    An expressive mid 20th century modernist oil painting depicting a trawler out at sea, in the Karlshamn archipelago in Sweden.

    The artwork is characterised by painterly expressive brushstrokes, as well as a restrained and mellow colour palette that leaves an air of nostalgia.

    A tranquil and atmospheric mid-century landscape composition, painted in oil in an expressionist manner.

    Dedicate light pastel shades of green, yellow, blue and grey have been used, imbuing the work with softness and calm.

    The subtle colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.

    This oil on is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a thin white wooden frame. There are bits of wear to the corners of the frame, however this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    The Guitar Player

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century cubist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of works by cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso,  this painting has broken the figure and her instrument down into distinct planes, aiming to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space and so suggest their three dimensional form.  In doing so, this artist has emphasised the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and marks.

    A small but very well executed mid century oil, painted onto board and beautifully framed in its original mid century wide profile frame.

    In this quaint picture, we see a lone figure walking by a cottage. The artist has use wide and distinct brushstrokes painted an expressive style, but yet skilfully managing to depict this scene within a very small space. The colour palette of rich earthy browns and cream imbue this painting with a wonderfully subdued and mellow tone.

    This miniature oil painting is housed in a wide profile wood frame with an inner gilt window and a linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The linen lining on the frame has some age toning commensurate with age and in keeping with its style.

  • Pontoon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid century geometric painting in oil, dated 1954.

    Here the artist has captured an industrial marine structure, the pontoon crane. The artist has flattened the composition into sections of flat coloured planes, as well as dark angular lines. Through the use of these geometric shapes and lines, the artist has conveyed the ‘industrial’ sense of the scene through these formal qualities, rather than through a realistic depiction of the crane, pontoon and harbour buildings. This is very much a modernist ethos, where artists painting in this period were incorporating the aesthetic of the ‘machine’ and other industrialist activities into their art.

    This oil painting is housed in a robust solid wood frame, which suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The oak frame has some general scuffing and a small indent to the left and right edges (as seen in photos) but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Cedar

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and restful mid century oil landscape , painted onto board.

    A set of farmhouses sit within a large pastoral landscape with a wooded treeline in the distance, set under the golden light of the sun. The artist has captured a panoramic view of the landscape before him by dedicating a large proportion of the painted surface to the sky. The soft palette of cream and light blue set a wonderful contrast against the darker, earthier palette of the land below, where the artist has used rougher and more distinct brushstrokes to capture the effects of the elements on the pasture.

    The painting is housed within a simple thin gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting has a tiny area of surface paint loss (please refer to the close up photo) which is visible upon close inspection but does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Cornflowers

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quaint mid century still life in oil depicting a jug filled with cornflowers and a single lemon beside it.

    The style of the painting is reminiscent of the expressive still lifes by Modernist artist Vincent Van Gogh, particularly in the background where we see systematically arranged brushstrokes. Small, thoughtfully placed dashes of colour fill the composition, and the placement of complementary colours allow the blue of the cornflowers and the yellow of the lemon to really stand out.

  • Together

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An absolutely delightful mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted on to canvas. This seemingly simple yet very effective composition depicts figures on a beach. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork to capture the figures. There is a softness, and a tender-heartedness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very minimalist palette, the artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Daffodils

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking yet homely still life in oil, painted in a modernist manner.

    A blue vase filled with daffodils sits alongside a potted plant and some fruit.  The objects sit atop a table by a windowsill, with a patterned curtain to the right side of the composition. The artist has used deep, rich, and vivid colours which have been applied to the surface with broad, and distinct brushstrokes. The artist has captured the morning light beautifully, using an array of colours to depict the effect of light against the objects, the table, the wall and the window sill. The distinctive blues, greens and yellows repeat themselves throughout the composition, creating a very harmonious and satisfying still life picture.

    This oil painting is housed in a simple silver frame which suits it very well and complements its palette. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and earthy mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas, and framed in a very complementary gilt frame.

    Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the canvas to create this almost abstract landscape scene. There are elements of this painting that are very much reminiscent of the Modernist painter Paul Cezanne. Although this piece has moved closer towards abstraction, it carries the similar traits of repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes that Cezanne had in his pictures. Here the artist has also used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. There is also great vigour and energy in this painting.

    It is housed in a simple gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs mainly to the lower section. There is some wear to the bottom edge of the frame.

  • In the Woods

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully expressive mid century oil on canvas, depicting a lush wooded landscape.

    Bold, painterly brushstrokes capture the effects of the elements on the landscape – we get a sense of a light wind blowing through the trees, their branches swaying side to side, the leaves rustling as they go. The artist has used rich, vivid colours to capture the array of hues and shades of the woods. A lighter palette ahs been used for the top half of the picture, where the tree canopy is more exposed to the light of the sky. As we move further down the picture, a deeper, darker, earthier palette has  been used to depict lush depths of the woods and the forest floor.

    This oil painting is housed in a wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • A Rainy Evening

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

  • Twilight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and dramatic mid century coastal landscape composition, executed in oil in a semi-abstract manner.

    Upon first glance, our eyes are drawn to the left side of the painting, where we see a house set within a rocky landscape. This crescendo in the composition then eases downwards as our eyes shift across the landscape towards to the right, where we then catch a glimpse of the sea and the horizon beyond. Our eyes are then carried upwards, towards the lighter but still very moody sky.

    Expressive and painterly brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist has used a restrained palette, focusing our attention on the dramatic composition. There is something nostalgic and mysterious about the piece that we think really sets it apart.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century frame with very detailed borders that draw our eyes inwards towards the painting.

  • Trace

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically modernist abstract mid century oil painted in 1958 that would be a striking addition to any interior.

    With its hard edged lines and fragmented imagery, it is reminiscent of the cubist movement, as well as of the Vorticist works of Wyndham Lewis.

    Broad, angled white lines move in all directions filling the surface of the canvas. These lines are set against tan and light brown rectangular patterns. Although abstract in its imagery, the weaving and interlinked lines seem to trace a movement, and bring to mind a mechanical motion. The hard edges of the patterns juxtapose the more subtle, minimal colour palette, focusing our eyes on the more formal properties of the composition such as shape, form and line.

    There are some paint and surface losses to the corners and edges. It has been framed in an unconventional way – The painted board has been fixed to stretcher bard and then a black frame has been attached around the stretcher bars, so the board protrudes from the frame. Please also refer to the images of the reverse of the painting too.

  • In the Distance

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A gentle and panoramic seascape in oil, that captures the beauty and solitude of nature.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the artist has chosen not to paint in realistic details and instead has rendered a hazy impression of what appears to be a boat in the middle of a vast ocean.

    Using a restrained palette of cool blues, white and grey, the work captures a seamless transition of the sea and sky so wonderfully. And the quick and expressive brushstrokes create a blurry feel of that moment in time as well as add a lovely textural quality to the work.

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

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a simple wood frame that has minor scuffs.

  • Father

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this very large mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a standing figure painted in a modernist style.

    Large planes and blocks of colour in a deep and rich palette have been applied to the canvas, with a distinct focus on the formal qualities of shape, form and colour. The artist has used angled lines and geometric shapes to compose the figure. He has left out realistic details, and has  abstracted the portrait he has painted. He celebrates the medium of oil, leaving visible the strokes of his large paint brush, as well as creating textured areas of impasto that contrast with the smoother planes of painted areas.

    This large modernist portrait has been excellently executed, and would make a very prominent statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey wood frame with an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good condition overall. Due to the large size and heaviness of the board, the frame will need to be handled carefully when hanging. Please note that there is some glare in the photographs as the images were taken under natural light.

  • Mother & Baby Boy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a mother with a bowl, feeding a baby boy.

    A depiction of the wonderful (albeit sometimes frustrating) everyday scene of feeding a young child, which is familiar to anyone who has had a young baby. A mother sits close to her child, with the bowl of food set out and her baby in front of her.

    The artist has captured this everyday scene beautifully, using a vivid and bold colour palette, and incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality. The features of the figures have been left out, focusing instead on the shape and form of the figures and the bowl, giving this painting a timelessness, which coincides beautifully with the ‘timelessness’ of raising children and all that comes with it.

    This oil painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century frame that has some scuff and general wear, commensurate with age. However, this does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • Grandparents

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century piece has been painted in oil onto board and depicts two seated figures on chairs.

    Large swathes of bold and vivid colour have been unabashedly applied to the canvas, and the artist has also incorporated areas of thick impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface, creating a three dimensional effect. The artist’s painterly style celebrates the medium of oil, encouraging our eyes to soak in his rich and vivid palette.

    The figures don’t have facial features, and the background also does not to allude to any particular space. This gives the painting its timeless quality, and asks us instead to appreciate the qualities of form, shape and colour.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. There is some minor cracking to the thick impasto area (very normal due to age) but these areas are very stable. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some general wear and surface paint losses to the outermost edges of the frame, but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • The Tree Line

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very expressive but restful landscape scene in oil, painted in 1977.

    This piece is excellently executed, with skilful blending of post impressionist colour to create this landscape composition. Creamy, textured areas of paint have been layered and blended, encouraging our eyes to dance around the canvas and soak up the painterly details. The subject of the composition is wonderful to rest tired eyes on – a tree lined path in the rural countryside leads into the horizon, with clear skies up above. There is a sense that the artist might have been painting ‘en plein air’, capturing an emotional response to the landscape, as opposed to realistically depicting it.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with an inner gilt window that really brings out its colours. The painting would make a fabulous statement piece in a living room or bedroom. The painting is in very good condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • Above

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has used a bold, earthy palette of deep greens, black, dirty yellows and punctuations of white.  Although largely abstract and very much subjective in terms of what we can discern, this piece seems to allude to a topographical night time scene of a village. White houses are dotted around amongst valleys and plains, but this rolling landscape has been flattened out by the artist, distorting the sense of space and depth. Whatever one is able to discern, at the crux of it, we see a very satisfying modernist composition of shape, form and colour juxtaposed.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century dark gilt frame with an inner white window. Both painting and frame are in very good condition. Please note that there is slight glare in some of the photos as they were taken under natural light.

  • Alpine

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gorgeously expressive mid century landscape view in oil, painted in 1952 onto canvas.

    This painting succeeds wonderfully at bringing some of the outside in. The artist has used gestural, painterly brushstrokes to depict alpine trees standing tall with a blue sky beyond them.  The artist celebrates the medium of oil, using texture and movement to draw our attention to the physicality of the paint.

    This mid century piece would look wonderful in an interior space as a calming spot to rest one’s eyes on, reminding us of the cool and fresh air of the alpine forest.

    The painting is housed in a distressed off-white decorative frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some general wear but this is very much in keeping with its overall style.

  • The Mediterranean

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calming and atmospheric modernist style coastal view of the Mediterranean, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Upon first glance, our eye are drawn to the group of trees depicted towards the right of the painting, as its darker shade of forest green stand out in contrast.

    A mix of cool blues used to paint the sea, sky and mountains, as well as the use of light and soft brushstrokes lend the painting a gentle and tranquil feel.

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

  • Mirage

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subtle and lightly textured miniature landscape composition, executed in oil in 1980.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has left details of the landscape fairly obscure as he depicts vast open skies and a row of houses stretched across a rural land.

    A range of soothing neutral earth tones have been used, and the darker to lighter shades transition across the canvas so harmoniously and thoughtfully.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame with red undertones, that contains some minor scuffs. The painting’s small size would make it the perfect addition to a shelf, bookshelf or above a bed side table.

  • Expanse

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but impactful modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil onto board.

    All realistic details have been omitted in this semi-abstract painting, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as shape, form, brushstroke and colour.

    Trees and rolling terrains have been reduced down to flat planes of contrasting pastel shades of greens, blues and orange, that imbue the work with an overall sense of softness.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary grainy wood frame, that has some minor areas of paint marks.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A restful mid-century landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a panoramic view of an open agricultural field, with a row of houses surrounded by greenery situated in the distance.

    Expressive multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the strong contrast of darker shades of brown used to paint the earth and the lighter shades of white and blue used to paint the sky makes the work well balanced.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary dark wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Man with Pipe

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A monumental and brilliantly executed mid century portrait in oil, painted on to canvas.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist captures the sitter poignantly. A refined gentleman sits at a table smoking his pipe. His surroundings have been left abstract – there is no sense of time, space or context. Each brush stroke in this large piece has been carefully considered, applied to the canvas with purpose. Every contrasting tone has its role to play, creating a sense of depth within the picture. The composition is a feast for the eyes – our eyes are encouraged to flitter and dance across the canvas surface, taking in the colours, the sitters features, the background.

    This piece would be a stand out piece in any interior, due to both its size and its excellent execution.  The piece is housed in a silver frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • The Pairing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century modernist portrait painting, executed in oil onto board.

    Physically direct and emotionally charged, two vivid and richly coloured figures stare at us straight on, their faces elongated, demarcated by bold lines and angles.  The artist has kept his palette restrained, sticking to a range of contrasting tones of blue , black, orange and green. The way in which the faces have been composed are perhaps a nod to masks of tribal art, and therefore also to the same ‘primitive’ influences that interested modernist artists like Picasso and Gauguin.

    The painting is housed in a frame lined with a linen border.  There is some general wear to the painting surface (commensurate with age) – scattered surface marks and spots. There is some age toning and marks to the frame, and an area of age toning along the left edge of the frame.

  • In Nature

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully textured mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1962.

    The artist has used thick layers of blended colour to build up this expressive composition. Areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) can be seen across the surface of the canvas, giving it a three dimensional and sculptural effect. As we scan the picture, we can almost feel the artist working with his paint, applying thick viscous layers of oil with his brush and blending them together. This painterly style celebrates the medium of oil –  artist is revelling in the manipulation of the oil paint itself and making the fullest use of its sensuous properties.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary light wood frame with an inner white window. The painting has an area of light craquelure to the top left section (as shown in photos), but the paint is stable overall.

  • At the Table

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century composition of three figures, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has left much to the imagination – we are able to discern figures around what appears to be a table, including a figure with a very fancy hat. The artist has used a series of bold, expressive lines, in combination with large flat planes of colour, creating a semi abstract picture that does not reveal any notion of place or time. The picture carries a palpable sense of mystery, which makes it very intriguing.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile wood frame with an inner gilt window which illuminates the painting. The painting has scattered areas of craquelure (as shown), and there is a small area of paint loss ( as seen in the close up photo), but as the underlying area is a dark colour, the paint loss is fairly inconspicuous. Please note that in close ups of the painting, there is some photographic glare due to the layer of varnish over the painting. Please view the side-view photos to see the painting without any glare.

  • The Bookworm

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and very elegant mid century portrait of a young male figure reading a book, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist has left the background indiscernible, removing any notion of time, place or context. This abstraction of the background conveys the fact that the figure is fully absorbed in his book, unaware of his surroundings. Similarly, we as the viewers are also drawn into the picture, fixing our gaze on the figure. His hair neatly parted, he is dressed in a deep red sweater, his book rests on his crossed legs.

    This portrait has clearly taken great artistic skill, time and consideration to execute. The colours of the painting play off each other beautifully, yet there is great balance and harmony. The deep blue of his jeans and deep red of his sweater centre the picture, while a more muted palette radiates out towards the edges.

    The painting is housed in a distressed silver frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition overall. The painting has some light areas of craquelure, but is stable overall. There is some slight paint loss to the lower edge (as shown in the photos) due to the frame but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Swash

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but delightful abstract composition painted in mixed media including oil, gouache and acrylic.

    The artist has used a variety of paint application techniques to create this composition – the paint has been brushed on, pressed on (with a sponge like material), and also splattered. As a result there are non-uniform areas of pattern and texture, which gives this painting its unique appeal. Although there is an element of spontaneity to the way the paint has been applied, the choice of colours, the layering and harmony, and the combination of textures has been considered carefully.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame ,which has a linen lining and an inner gilt window. The painting has been done on card which has been laid to board. The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some very minor age toning to the linen on frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • After the Storm

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully emotive abstract oil on canvas, painted in 1983.

    This impressionist oil captures the misty, foggy feel of the landscape after a heavy storm. Reminiscent of later works by the impressionist artist JMW Turner, this artwork too dispenses the use of hard outlines and any artificial divisions of the visual field that we see in more traditional approaches of realistic painting. Instead, greater prominence is given to the effects of light and atmosphere. Instead of painting the landscape as is, the artist has captured the experience of how we might take in the landscape before us. Smooth. wide brushstrokes sweep across the canvas, in varying layers of blended colour. The sky softly falls upon the darker murkier landscape – we know that soon the heaviness of the post-storm air will dissipate and the light will come again.

    The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame that complements it and adds an illuminating effect. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Cubist Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic and well executed modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The artwork depicts a group of fruits, a bowl and a pitcher laid out on a surface. Bold and distinct dark lines have been used to create these shapes and form, and a restrained palette that primarily comprises shades of blue, as well as pops of orange, green and brown have been used.

    Cubist is nature, the artist has fragmented the objects down and represented them from several angles to highlight their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.

    This oil on canvas has has a very minor spot of paint loss. It is housed in a complementary beige frame that has some areas of scuff. Nevertheless, the painting is in overall very good vintage condition.

  • The Mill

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking modernist mid century oil on board, painting in 1945.

    In this painting, short and expressive brushstrokes have been applied in vivid and distinct colours. The artist has used a series of horizontal strokes in a layering of colour to create a sense of depth of space.  The panoramic city landscape beyond and the greener landscape to the foreground have been reduced down to short dabs of bold colours that create a beautiful sense of movement within the picture. There is a wonderful sense that the artist is very fond of the landscape he has depicted.

    This painting is also carries elements of the fauvist style of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element.

    This painting is housed in its original mid century linen lined frame. There is some general ageing to the frame that is commensurate with age, and also in keeping with its overall look. The painting is in good vintage condition.

  • Church

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beguiling and very elegant oil painting on canvas, painted in 1983.

    The artist has done an architectural, sketch -like  style painting of a church, using a series of angled lines to capture the structure of the building. The artist has condensed the form into an almost abstract depiction, leaving out all realistic details. He has created a distinctly raw and expressionist composition, through the use of a very minimalist palette as well as the unevenness of the medium. He has combined areas of impasto where thicker paint has been used, with areas which are much coarser and that leave the substrate showing through. What at first glance appears to be quick sketch like drawing, is in fact a very well executed and considered composition, whose colours create an illuminating and diaphanous effect.

    This gorgeous painting is housed in a simple white frame with an inner gilt window that draws out the colours in the painting further. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Through the Vines

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A bold and striking mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto board.

    Multi-directional planes of contrasting colour have been applied through the use of broad and expressive brushstrokes, imbuing the painting with synergy and movement.

    Despite its abstract nature,  this composition could allude to a nature landscape, with the pops of green resembling hanging vines.

    This oil on board is housed in its stunning mid century gilt and silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Bedrock

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An impressive mid century abstract painting with varying textural qualities, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Abstract in nature, the artwork focuses on stylistic features including form, line, colour and texture.

    Contrasting blocks of rich earthy colours including brown, yellow and blue have been applied to the surface, and the work is punctuated by bold gestural brushstrokes in the middle of the painting.

    In addition to smooth layers of oil, the artist has used an aggregate on top of oil to create a unique soil resembling textural feel to the surface in the middle section, imbuing the overall work with character.

    This oil on canvas has some very minor areas of paint loss, and is in overall very good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary silver floater frame that has markings around, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Snail

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and typically mid century 1960s abstract composition in oil, painted onto board.

    Featuring cubist influences and reminiscent of the style of works by modernist artists such as Pablo Picasso, this abstract in oil comprises a series of shapes and forms in a deep and earthy palette of green, black, brown and yellow and white. The beauty of a work like this is that is very much subject to personal interpretation – one may be able to discern the shape of a snail, but this may not be the case for everyone, some may see a pair of acorns perhaps. Alternatively, it may be a purely abstract composition altogether, and not representative of anything in reality. We are able to just enjoy the fact that the group of shapes in contrasting colours have been carefully laid out,  encouraging our eyes to move across the canvas and take in the different pieces making up the puzzle.

    This satisfying painting is housed in its original, and very unique, mid century frame with several windows that create a wonderful optical effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Black & Yellow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life in oil, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1956. A bold and vivid palette of black, yellow and green give this picture its punch. Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for. This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

    The painting is housed in a dark grey tray frame which suits the style and palette of the painting very well. The painting has some slight losses to the outer edges (as shown in photos), but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Seated Figure

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed oil portrait, painted onto canvas in 1966.

    Painted in an expressionist style, broad and painterly brushstrokes make up this striking composition of a seated figure. The artist has left out realistic details,  focusing instead on the shape, form and lines of the figure. He has captured the way the light falls on the figure, using an almost post-impressionist colour palette to depict the areas of shadow on light on the figure’s coat. The artist has left the background indistinct, but has used a palette that plays off the colours on the figure wonderfully. There is a very harmonious balance in the overall composition of this painting, making it a real pleasure to look at.

    The painting is housed in dark brown frame with a an inner linen lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition. Please note that the lighter looking areas in the photos are not to do with any issues in the painting, but due instead to glare from natural light when taking the photos.

  • Beyond the Willow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A really charming mid century landscape in oil, beautifully housed in a wide profile frame.

    In this quaint landscape scene, we see a white farmhouse beyond a lake. The composition is surrounded by willow trees, creating a window-like effect into the scene.  The artist has executed this piece in a painterly style – loose, impressionist brushstrokes capture the effect of the movement of the willow and the water in the lake.

    This lovely painting is housed in its original mid century wide profile wood and gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is a small surface abrasion to the left corner of the frame, as shown in photos.

  • Provence

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet characterful landscape painting depicting the Southern Alps in Provence , executed in oil in 1973.

    In this picturesque view, mountains in the background and greenery in the foreground have been lined in an almost symmetrical fashion, making this composition highly well-balanced.

    Semi-abstract in nature, this landscape scene has been simplified down to expressive broad brushstrokes and angular shapes. The artist has used a pastel colour palette to capture the peace and tranquillity of nature.

    This oil has been mounted on panel which is surrounded by a simple white wood frame. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition. Its small size would make it the perfect addition to a shelf, bookshelf or above a bed side table.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An endearing oil portrait depicting 3 friends gathered in conversation, rendered in an expressionist style.

  • Teal Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking semi-abstract landscape composition, executed in oil in 1950.

    The artist has used a restrained muted palette that consists primarily of blue and green shades to create this soothing atmospheric view of houses in an open landscape surrounded by trees.

    Painted in an expressive manner, we see swift and rhythmic brushstrokes dabbed and sweeping across the canvas in a confident manner, imbuing with work a lively feel.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century deep profile wood frame that has some areas of scuffs commensurate with its age.

  • Figure in Pastel

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed nude figure study in pastel, framed behind glass.

    This nude study captures the female form elegantly and expressively. The artist has used long, narrow lines to outline the form, and used hatching to capture the three dimensionality of the  form of the body, giving the drawing a sculptural quality. A different technique has been used to fill in the background – it seems the artist has used the pastel to colour over a textured surface to create a dappled effect.

    The pastel has been beautifully framed in a wood and gilt frame, and is set behind glass to protect the vulnerability of the medium. Both pastel and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Family

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A modernist oil on canvas depicting a family on a walk, painted in 1980.

    Painted with a typically modernist ethos, all realistic details have been condensed down into flat planes of colour that give the illusion of three dimensionality. Featuring elements of cubism, the artist has used blocks of colour that have been outlined distinctly to create this unique composition. We are still able to discern a group of figures (2 adults and three children) walking along a what appears to be a coastal landscape. The artist’s skilful use of formal elements such as colour, shape and line enable us to make sense of this scene despite the elimination of all realistic details. The way in which the artist has applied the layers of paint has created textured impasto, adding further depth to the composition.

    This oil painting is housed in its original gilt frame which complements it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Portrait in Purple

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A semi abstract mid century portrait in oil, painted in 1943.

    This unique portrait features an abstracted figure with his hands together, depicted in a painterly style. Loose and broad brushstrokes have been applied in several layers, created a wonderful depth, complexity and illumination to the painting. As we take the time to study the painting, the varying layers slowly reveal themselves, giving us an insight into the artist’s process.

    Just as unique as the painting is the frame in which it is housed in. Set in a purple-blue frame with decorative indents evenly spaced around the frame, it adds a real element of interest to the painting and also complements the colour palette of the painting beautifully.

    Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is some minor wear to the inner window of the frame but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Red Shoes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming mid century portrait painted in oil onto board, depicted a seated figure of a young boy.

    The artist has painted the figure in an expressionist style, using a very restrained palette and bold outlines to create the composition. This simple yet striking composition shows a young boy seated, reading a book. There is a particularly raw quality to this portrait – the artist has combined an earthy palette with broad and loose brushstrokes. There is a varied style to the application of paint, with some areas loose and thin, while others thicker and with layers of impasto. The artist appears to have painted the figure quickly and with vigour, yet it is clear that his expressive strokes remained controlled and intentional. Elements of the way this has been painted are reminiscent of the fluidity and expressiveness of the art of Chinese calligraphy.

    This oil on board is framed in a double window gilt frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Bloom

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and visually striking modernist style floral still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, the artwork is full of texture and character as it depicts a blooming pot of flowers placed against a blue coloured background.

    Our eyes are immediately drawn to the flowers as their lighter shades of white and orange are contrasted against the deep and rich colour palette of dark blues greens and browns.

    The artist displays his painterly skills, using the impasto technique by applying thick layers of paint such that it stands proud from the surface and adds a textural feel, as well as confidently executing long and bold brushstrokes to creating a composition full of dynamism.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a deep-profile frame with 2 linen-lined windows that pairs perfectly with the painting. There are some very small areas of paint loss on the painting but the work is otherwise in very good vintage condition.

  • Still Life with Bottle

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life composition, painted in oil and dated 1954.

    Featuring a wine bottle on a table top, the artist has flattened all the elements and has reconstructed this painting in an abstract manner through the use of distinct blocks of warm earthy colours as well as expressive brushstrokes.

    Contrasting rich shades of brown, yellow and blue fill the canvas, and the use of broad painterly multi-directional brushstrokes adds a wonderful texture and gives the illusion of depth to the painting.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age). Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. This painting is housed in a wooden frame that has a small chip at the bottom (as shown in the images).

  • Harmony

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An uplifting and richly textured mid-century abstract oil composition that explores the wonderful elements of colour and brushstrokes.

    What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique, as thick layers of paint have been applied using broad gestural brushstrokes onto the painting surface. With each pass of the brush adds a little more texture onto the dried paint beneath it, leaving to form an imprint of the artist’s brush as well as a raw textural and three-dimensional quality.

    What is clearly evident is the artist’s deep understanding of colour. Featuring a dance of elegant and lively shades of blue, green and yellow, the colours have been skilfully layered on top and beside one another, enriching the painting with a harmonious feel.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs and areas of paint residue on the frame.

  • Tree Grove

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and very striking mid century oil painted on canvas depicting a tree grove by a brook. A deep, rich, earth colour palette has been used – dark greens and browns and oranges are contrasted against the white of the brook and the sky, creating a wonderful sense of depth in the painting. Differing textures can be found across the large canvas, with some areas where the artist has allowed the canvas to show through, and other areas where thick layers of paint and impasto can be found. There is raw quality to the overall composition, and the artist has captured the essence of the natural landscape – the movement of the water in the brook, the light of the sky, and the earthiness of the grass and the trees.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which suits it very well and gives it a slightly more contemporary edge. The large size and expressive style of this painting would make it a real statement feature piece in any interior. Painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Pulse

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed  medium sized abstract composition, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1958. A bold and rich colour palette of deep greens, greys and black are accentuated by yellow and white,  giving this picture its depth and intensity. Rhythmic circular brushstrokes are juxtaposed against more angular and formal shapes, encouraging our eyes to move in and around the picture and back again. The artist has filled the canvas with an array of textures – we see smooth brushwork, as well as thicker areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. There are also areas where the artist has dabbed the brush repeatedly, creating small ripples in the paint. Despite the range of colours, shapes and brushwork, there is a beautiful rhythm within the picture, and a very satisfying harmony in its composition.

    The painting is housed in a very elegant smooth champagne gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame.

  • Farmland

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Dated 1944, this mid century oil on board features broad, expressive brushwork and a post impressionist style. Reminiscent of works by artists such as Van Gogh, this oil depicts the natural landscape but has a more personal use of colour and brushwork that express an emotional response to the landscape, rather than a  purely realistic response.  There is a real sense of light and movement within the picture, created through a wonderful harmony of colours.

    This large painting is housed within a  wide profile gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general scuffing which is commensurate with its age.

  • Urbanscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century townscape painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has eliminated all details and has reduced the forms of the buildings down into simple yet very effective planes of colour. Although the application of colour appears to be casual and loose at first glance, further observation reveals that this composition has indeed been very carefully and thoughtfully structured and put together. Loose strokes of vertical and horizontal planes of colour come together seamlessly to create this town view.

    The painting is housed in its gorgeous mid century frame, which has a really lovely woven border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Barge

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large mid century oil painting on canvas depicting a narrow boat and a rowing boat on a river in winter.

    There is a beautiful quietness to this scene – it captures the essence of  a cold, crisp winter morning.  The water is perfectly still, and quite possibly icy. We see the crisp reflection of the blue rowing boat in the water. Soft, white snow covers the banks of the river. A black barge is docked on the left side, with a blue rowing boat sitting quietly beside it, its tether hidden by the water.

    The artist has been brave in his painting approach and has not shied away from painting a large proportion of the composition (i.e. the river) in a dark colour. But this does not depress the mood of the painting. Rather, it skilfully directs our eyes’ journey. We are initially drawn to the dark river, where the paint is smooth and untextured, but our eyes are then directed up the river and towards the upper half of the picture, where we see the snow and sky. This area of the painting has been painted very differently – with areas of textured impasto and more movement (in contrast to the very still, smooth river). These differing painting techniques give it its unique character, and add depth and interest to the painting.

    The painting is housed in a wide profile frame that complements it perfectly. As shown in the photos, here are two small punctures to the left corner (where the black barge is) but this is not noticeable unless closely inspected.  There is a small loss to the middle section of the upper half (also shown in close up photo) but again this is not noticeable unless closely inspected. The colour palette of the painting hides these imperfections well. Please note that in close up of the river, there is some photographic glare due to dark palette. Please view the side-view photos to see the painting without any glare.

  • Horseman

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century geometric abstract is painted in oil onto board and presented within an off white slip and a gilt frame.

    Drawing on a distinctly modernist ethos, this painting is reminiscent of works by artists such as Pablo Picasso. We see a removal of ‘superfluous’ elements of both animal and human to reach a simple linear abstraction. The artist has intentionally chosen not to depict the figures realistically, and has instead reduced them down into shapes and lines. Simple yet effective outlines connect seamlessly, standing out against a vivid background of reds, greens, and whites to create this striking composition.

    The painting is housed in a excellent frame that suits the picture brilliantly. It has an off white slip and a gilt frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fairfield

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and visually calming mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes. The artist has intentionally left some areas of the substrate showing through, allowing us to see the materiality of the canvas surface, further emphasising the modernist ethos behind his brush.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame which illuminates the painting wonderfully. There is some age toning to the left edge of the surface. Otherwise, the painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Taupe

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A well executed mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This abstract composition features an earthy palette with lovely textures created by thick application of oil paint. The subtle nuances in tones and shades create a rather satisfying composition, encouraging our eyes to follow the expressive brushwork around the canvas. The areas of pronounced impasto add a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the painting.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a lovely hessian border and inner and outer windows in white. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor surface marks, commensurate with age ( as shown in photos). These marks are not obvious and do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Coast in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A spirited mid century semi abstract oil, painted onto canvas.

    Using a restrained palette, the artist has captured the ever changing nature of the coastal landscape and sky – broad, expressive brushstrokes capture the impression of its movement and its transience.

    We are able to discern a row of ships far into the distance, but these bend beautifully into the overall composition. There is a satisfying cohesiveness in the picture between the foreground, middle, and background – the coastal rocks, water, ships and sky unify through the brushwork and colour palette.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which complements it wonderfully. The inner gilt window illuminates the panting and brings out its palette and tone.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small mark to the top edge of the gilt section, as shown in the photos.

  • Evoke

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully textured and expressive mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    This painting is powerful and visually striking in appearance, as it is composed with saturated and fiery colours comprising shades of orange, red and yellow that evoke energy and warmth.

    The artist has skilfully used the impasto technique – applying thick layers of paint to provide a textural dimension to the artwork. This thick accumulation of paint that lends a three-dimensional quality not only adds character to the piece, but a sense of dynamism too.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century hessian frame with an inner gilt window. There is some general wear to the hessian lining on the frame but this is only noticeable upon close inspection.

  • Construct

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This large and very well executed mid century oil on canvas is particularly reminiscent of the St Ives school of Modern British art. Although Swedish in its provenance, it is likely that the artist was also inspired by the coastal areas of Sweden, just like the St Ives artists were by the British coastal town of St Ives. Although largely abstract in its composition, we can just about discern coastal elements – the lower half of the painting depicts the sandy shore, and in the middle section of blue we see the water as well as the triangular shape of the sail of boat, and finally the light greyish green of the sky. The artist has chosen to focus on the shape, forms,  and colours of the coast as his source of inspiration. Even the textural qualities of the painting which includes areas of sgraffito (the technique of scratching the painted surface to reveal the underlying colours and layers) captures the rough and raw quality of the sandy, rocky landscape. The painting also captures the ‘light’ of the coastal area and has a luminosity in its palette and overall appearance.

    The canvas is surrounded by slim wood slats, which then sit within an outer white floating box frame.  This unique framing suits the piece wonderfully.   There is scattered craquelure to the painting as shown in the photos, but the surface is very stable.

  • The Bond

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century gouache and watercolour figure composition, painted in 1955.

    A semi abstract depiction of a matador is the focus of this skilfully executed portrait. The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, focusing instead on the outlines, forms, shapes and colours. Behind the figure is an abstracted background – large sections of bright colours juxtapose the figure and give it its context and sense of space and depth.  The brushwork on the figure is much more free-form in comparison to the background which is far more structured, creating a striking contrast between them both.

    Painted in both gouache and watercolour onto paper, it is framed within a card mount and a solid oak wood frame. The card mount has some slight age toning and the frame has some minor scuffs typical for its age. The painting is in good vintage condition and sits behind glass, as shown.

  • Pink Apples

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and brilliantly executed still life oil, painted onto canvas.

    This mid century still life has been painted with very expressive brushstrokes, capturing the vitality of the apple branch wonderfully. Despite the broad brushwork, the artist has skilfully depicted the effect of the light on the apples and the leaves, creating a sense of movement within the picture. The apple branch is set against a reddish brown background that plays off the colours of the apples and draws attention to them.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame that complements it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Mountain Top

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

  • Coastal Houses

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and scenic mid century oil painting presenting a view of houses lined by a coastal front. As evening sets, hues of pink fill the sky and the shimmering blue water is beaming with serenity.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes and form to create a sense of depth and space.

    Lively colours and expressive multi-directional brushstrokes have been used extensively in this work, producing distinct forms and breathing life into this overall striking composition.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a rustic wood frame with an inner linen lining . There are some watermarks on the frame as shown in the images but does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Yellow Beads

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A stunning mid century portrait in oil, painted onto board in 1944.

    The artist has focused on the formal elements in this portrait, using shape and colour to create this distinctly modernist picture. Flat shapes interlock perfectly to create the headwear, body and clothes of the female figure. The artist intentionally leaves areas of the canvas showing through and makes his brushstrokes visible, reminding us that this portrait is one created out of formal elements of shape and colour painted on a two dimensional surface, as opposed to an imitation of reality. The bright and saturated colours give this painting a wonderful air of playfulness.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner off white section that has a mottled surface. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scattered areas of paint loss but this is in keeping with the overall look of the piece.

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large mid century still life in oil, beautifully presented in a very wide profile frame that has a carved ribbed section.

    A group of kitchen objects and edibles sit on a table Each object has been clearly defined by dark outlines, drawing attention to their individual forms and shapes, and how they weave in and out of one another. The artist has achieved a very balanced composition, making this still life a real pleasure to look at.

    This still life is extremely textured – the artist has added an aggregate to the surface, creating an almost three dimensional and sculptural effect.

    An expressionist mid century winter landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Swift and distinct brushstrokes fill the canvas, skilfully capturing the essence and character of the harsh winter landscape. Using a restrained palette of blues, brown, black and white, the artist has managed to convey both the harsh conditions as well as the peaceful nature of the landscape.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey frame, with an inner white window. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

  • Coast

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted on to canvas.

    Although largely abstract in style, we are still able to discern that the artist is depicting a landscape. We are able to make out a tree to the left most edge of the composition, as well as a house that sits behind it. Larges swathes of deep and saturated colour line the bottom half of the canvas, making up the foreground of the picture. Beyond that, different shades of blue indicate the sea and then the sky. The artist has used contrasting colours and texture to create a sense of depth and space.

    This large oil is housed in a very complementary rustic frame, which suits it wonderfully. This painting would fit well in both classic and contemporary interiors. Its large size and expressive use of colour make it a real statement piece. The painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There are some scattered areas of craquelure, but the paint layer is stable overall.

  • Before the Rain

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid century landscape motif painted in oil onto board, and framed in a very complementary light blue frame.

    A pair of cows rest on the rural pasture, and behind them sit two farm sheds. To the sky, brushstrokes have been applied in a very expressive manner – swirls of blue draw attention to the cloudy skies. The cows lie on the grass , also an ‘old wives” indication that rain might soon arrive. To the bottom half of the picture, short, repetitive and distinct strokes mark out the field.

    This wonderfully expressive and textured landscape is housed in a light blue frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Indefinite

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive and well-executed abstract composition, executed in oil in 1960.

    With its non-representational and spontaneous appearance, the work is composed with elements of colour, shape, line and form.

    Painterly fluid lines, swift brushstrokes and dabs as well as geometric and amorphous shapes have been repurposed to form this striking cohesive work of art.

    Using an array of warm and inviting earth-tone colours of brown, orange and red, the artist has skilfully distributed and layered the lighter and darker tones – making the overall work very well-balanced.

    The surface of the painting has also been coated with a layer of varnish. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on board is housed in a charcoal grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age) on the top left of the painting, as well as a scuff in the middle. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. As with the frame, there are minor scuffs and a small area of paint loss on the bottom left, as shown in the images.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • Houses on a Hill

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully textured mid-century landscape oil painting, depicting a row of houses on a hill top.

    Largely abstract in composition, the artist focuses on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space and has used blocks of muted subdued tones including shades of taupe and green to form this composition.

    Upon closer inspection of the painting,  we can notice how layers of colours have been skilfully and thoughtfully applied – using cobalt blue as the starting undertone colour on the right, and burnt orange on the left.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique, using broad and expressive brushstrokes to create thick and creamy layers of paint to form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original champagne gold frame that has areas of marks commensurate with its age.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • Lady in Waiting

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century vintage oil portrait, painted onto canvas and housed in a very complementary frame.

    An elegant female figure with her hair up in a bun and dressed in light blue sits patiently on a chair, with her arms folded. Her blue dress contrasts beautifully with the abstract background on red. Large, expressive swathes of red, orange and brown fill the canvas, and yet the artist has very skilfully used the background to draw attention to the figure, despite the strong colouring.

    This lovely textured oil is ready to hang. It is housed in a lovely light blue frame that suits it wonderfully. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Crossroad Conversation

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

  • Terrain

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and visually calming modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil in 1953.

    Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this nature landscape terrain in a semi-abstract manner through the used of soft colours, flattened forms and expressive brushstrokes.

    The painting demonstrates a subtle dance between colours, as planes of soft neutral shades including sand and green have been used to illustrate the distribution of crop across the terrain as well as to create a strong sense of depth and width in the painting.

    Short expressive brushstrokes have been confidently executed in a rapid manner, and its textural qualities adds character to the work.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with red undertones and with an inner linen lining. The frame has some very minor areas of marks commensurate with its age.

  • Harbour Boardwalk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing semi-abstract mid century oil painting depicting a coastal harbour. The painting is well balanced with equal visual weight as boats sit on the left on the artwork, and 2 figures strolling on a connecting boardwalk are painted on the right.

    The painting demonstrates great depth and width – brought forth by the long multi-directional brushstrokes that sweep across the painting gracefully, as well as through the use of contrasting lively colour that sit beside and layer upon one another beautifully.

    This oil on board is housed in a very complementary robust grainy wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fauvist Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large mid century oil on canvas of a semi abstract landscape, painted in 1955.

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

    The painting is housed in a very complementary dark blue floater frame. This frame allows the edges of the canvas to be in full view, with a small gap between the canvas and the frame, giving it a more contemporary look.  The painting and frame are in good vintage condition with no outstanding issues.

  • Ruby Cottage

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A compelling mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1937.

    The artist has used a wonderfully earthy and rich colour palette to depict this rural landscape, punctuated by rusty red cottages. A group of trees focus the eye to the centre of the picture, while melting snow on the ground encourages our yes to move around the painting and discover further details.  Expressive brushstrokes and a coarse texture add to the earthiness of the picture, and skilfully convey the character of the landscape and its rustic nature.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century distressed frame, with gilt outlining. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Size: 35 x 57 cm (including frame)

  • Still Life with Pots

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A flourishing and captivating mid century Swedish still life artwork, painted in oil onto board.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple yet effective composition of two plants in terracotta pots, sitting quietly against a restrained background.

    The muted earthy colour palette including shades of green and blue create a wonderful sense of harmony and balance within the picture, and also enriching the work with softness and a calming effect.  

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame and is in overall very good vintage condition. There is a small stain just by the leaf on the left pot as well as some minor marks on the frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    Size: 49 x 57 cm (including frame)

  • Looking On

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very large and striking mid century oil on canvas, housed within a gorgeous wide profile wood frame.

    Broad, loose brushstrokes, vibrant colours, and narrative elements are all features of this large composition.  There are several details to notice in this expressive painting  – an archipelago boat sails on the water, with a large white bird swooping towards it. A small figure in black stands to the lower central section, and to the right edge we see a the side profile of a larger figure, looking on towards the scene.

    It seems that this is a memory of a scene that the artist has painted, rather than something that is taking place before him. The emotive style of brushwork and colour denotes an expression of feeling, rather than reality. The artist has gone beyond the depiction of external nature and has instead given form to an inner vision.

    The raw, almost unfinished appearance, combined with the swirls of paint in rich colours bears influences of the Norwegian expressionist painter Edvard Munch, who was also known to paint subject matter which was symbolist in content, depicting a state of mind rather than an external reality.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which suits it perfectly. The frame shows off its wood grain beautifully, and is further enhanced by an inner gilt window. The painting is in good vintage condition, with some minor surface scuffs and marks typical for a piece of this age. The frame has some surface paint losses to the inner window.

    Size:  84 x 112 cm (including frame)

  • Idyll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully restful mid century oil on canvas, depicting a rural landscape with cottages.

    Through the use of a muted colour palette and smooth, even brushwork, the artist has captured this quiet and peaceful scene of a rural village. In front of a row of farm buildings lies a river, edged by cobbled banks, and behind it sit high mountains. This idyllic composition is punctuated by three simple trees, whose forms add a satisfying balance to the picture.

    The artist has used flat, even planes of colour that repeat throughout the picture, creating a sense of harmony and consonance.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to the lower edge, as shown in the photos.

  • Coastal Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and atmospheric mid century coastal landscape composition,  executed in oil on canvas.

    Rendered in a semi abstract and expressionist manner, the artist has skilfully layered planes of contrasting rich colour tones to create depth and interest within this panoramic coastal scape.

    Although the broad brushstrokes have been executed in a seemingly loose and rapid manner, they are thoughtful and precise. The lively colour hues give way to this uplifting and energising work.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition, with some very minor surface marks typical for an oil of this age. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame. The frame has some minor marks and scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Interlink

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large emotive and powerful acrylic on board, painted in 1975.

    Abstract in nature, the painting focuses our attention on non-objective artistic elements such as  colour, line, shape and form.

    Executed in bold primary colours of blue, red and yellow, expressive lines and geometric shapes interlink with one another to define this space on the canvas and form an aesthetically striking and well-balanced pattern.

    As the work does not represent visual reality, the artist has instead used the respective elements to emphasise his inner feelings and emotion. With its saturated colours and dynamic forms that add a highly energetic feel as well as being close to a meter in height, this painting will make a statement piece in any interior.

    This acrylic on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original wood frame that has some marks and scuffs (as shown in the images)

    Size:  92 x 62 cm (including frame)

  • The Mender

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful mid century modern gouache portrait, painted in 1959 and framed behind glass.

    This small but very well executed painting depicts a seated man, mending a net. There is a quiet sense of calm to this piece – the man sits casually on a simple box, focused on mending his net which he has propped on knee. There is something wholesome and comfortable about the scene, which the artist has captured beautifully.

    The artist has painted this in a typically modernist style, focusing on the forms and colours of the scene rather than realistic details. The sitters surroundings are undiscernible, drawing our attention instead toward the form of the man and his net, the geometric lines of the box,  the patterns and colours of his clothes.

    This gouache on paper is framed in its original wood frame, and is set behind glass. The gouache is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks and scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Abstract Pots

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large, mid century oil on canvas, painted in a modernist style.

    Depicted in a semi-abstract manner, a pair of potted plants sit by what appears to be window. The composition shows the artist’s interest in conveying the physicality of objects and surrounding space, and portrays cubist influences. If we focus our attention on the pots, we notice that they have been fragmented, flattened and abstracted, reduced down to geometric outlines. By breaking the objects and its surroundings down into distinct areas and planes, the artist shows us different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space, suggesting their three dimensional form rather than trying to create an illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century deep profile gilt frame with an inner black window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. However, the frame edges have suffered paint and surface losses (as shown in photos), some of which have been repaired and restored. There is some widening to the corner joints.

  • Houses in Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century abstract oil, painted onto jute canvas (also known as hessian or burlap) which has been laid down to board.

    The jute canvas on which the oil has been applied has an extra rough texture and a pronounced weave, imbuing the piece with a raw and unfinished quality that makes it very striking. The artist has intentionally incorporated the texture of the jute to its overall effect, even leaving the edges unpainted to allow it to show through. This is especially wonderful as it also gives us an insight into the artist’s process – we can feel every brush-drag, and view the base layers of paint he has used. Under the paint we are able to see the grid-like weave of the jute, as well as where the artist’s brush has skipped over its bumps, and the areas where layers of paint have built up on the high points of the weave.

    In addition to its raw quality, the painting has a luminosity that makes it very striking. Deep and rich colours have been set against the background of white, causing them to be even more pronounced. Bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes add a sense of dynamism, and geometric shapes layered one above the other give an unmistakable nod to the cubist movement.

    The painting is housed in a thin grey frame which suits it perfectly and adds to its modern effect. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some some paint marks to its edges but adds to its overall effect and certainly does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Passage

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

  • Lady in a Black Scarf

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century modernist portrait of a lady in a black headscarf, painted onto board in 1957.

    A restrained yet immensely well balanced colour palette has been used, drawing attention to the form of the subject.  Beautifully expressive brushstrokes sweep in and around the figure in pastel colours, creating a translucent, diaphanous effect. The black headscarf that wraps around the figure’s head acts as a focal point and draws the eye to the figure’s face first. Our attention is then drawn downwards  through the use of converging downward pointing brushwork in blue.

    The figure’s stern expression adds character and interest to the piece, and would make for a brilliant statement piece in any interior. The light, soothing colour palette and wood frame would blend in very well in both classic and modern interiors.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner white border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The corner joints of the frame have widened slightly but are stable and do no detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Evening Gathering

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vibrant and striking mid century oil painting depicting a group of bedouins gathering together and surrounded by lush greenery.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist has intentionally left out intricate details such as the facial features of the figures, and instead has chosen to focus on the harmony of colours, skilful brushstrokes as well as the balancing of shape and form.

    Through the use of swift and confident brushstrokes, rich and vivid colours layer upon one another to reveal the respective forms, whilst creating an outstanding textural and lively feel to the piece.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original hessian frame with an inner grainy wood as well as gilt window. There is minor surface paint loss to the lower edge of the gilt section of the frame, as shown in the images.

  • Surrealist Still Life

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed still life in pastel, beautifully presented in a black card mount and a silver frame.

    The style of the pastel drawing as well as the frame that it comes in are both typically ‘mid century modern’. Vibrant colours juxtapose against cast shadows, creating a sense of mystery within the picture. The objects pictured almost seem to carry personalities of their own that they have intentionally kept hidden. There is a cinematic and theatrical feel to this piece – a feeling that the objects have been grouped together on a stage, knowing that they are bring watched by us. The artist has chosen objects that have strong, clear, statement-like shapes, and has set them against a geometric background, drawing our attention to the lines and forms.

    This pastel is framed in its original light silvery-gold frame , and is set behind glass. The pastel is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Fish & Potatoes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1946.

    We have here a kitchen scene – a cook’s ingredients are laid out on a table, ready to be prepped. A real example of why still life can be such a joy, where ordinary objects are given pride of place, drawing our attention to them when they would normally have been overlooked.

    Expressionist brushstrokes are visible in this still life, reminiscent also of the still life paintings by Paul Cezanne, a renown French modernist painter.

    We particularly like the juxtaposition of the dark coloured cast iron pan against the white of the water jug.

    For us, this painting has a homely and sentimental feel – a reminder of a warm home cooked meal, and of loved ones that feed us and that are to be fed.

    This painting would look wonderful hanging in a kitchen or within a dining area.

    It is housed in a robust gilt frame with a dark border. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some very minor scuffs to its edges.

  • Seated in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very well executed mid century oil portrait, painted onto canvas and framed in its original mid century frame.

    A female figure in an azure blue dress sits on a bright yellow chair. All realistic details have been omitted, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as shape, form and colour. Some aspects of this painting are reminiscent of figurative works by Modgliani, such as the elongation of the figure. The artist lengthens her body, keeping her torso parallel with the back of the chair, which has also been elongated, drawing our eyes downwards and creating a lovely sense of rhythm, ease, and restfulness.  Behind the sitter we see a patchwork of colour, applied so effectively that it both harmonises and connects the picture, yet still allows the figure and chair to stand out. The combination of flattened space, underlying shapes and colour harmony make up this very well executed modernist portrait.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid century gilt wood frame which complements the painting brilliantly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Valley

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically mid century modernist oil on board, framed and ready to hang.

    Reminiscent of the landscapes of French painter Paul Cezanne, this large post-impressionist landscape of houses by the mountains carry those same distinctive repetitive and exploratory brushstrokes found in Cezanne’s work. The artist here reconstructs nature through purely painterly forms, flattening the space and using faceted brushstrokes. The planes of colour and small brushstrokes build up to form complex fields, creating a visual feast for the eyes.

    This well executed painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some very minor scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Cold Evening

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid century winter landscape, painted in oil onto board.

    This beautiful depiction of a farmhouse set amidst a cold crisp winter day exudes calm and serenity. The simple yet effective palette combination of white, dark brown and cool blues captures the feel of the scene wonderfully. The expressive brushwork adds an element of abstraction to the picture as well.

    This emotive landscape is framed in a robust mid century gilt frame with visible wood grain and a unique green border which sets the painting off beautifully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Bowls & Bottles

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A seemingly simple yet very effective still life in oil, painted onto board and dated 1986.

    This well-balanced still life is one that is very satisfying to look at. Two bottles and three terracotta pots sit on a table, casually and quietly. Yet their presence seems strong, solid, and unyielding.

    The whole physicality of the piece conveys this same sense of solid-ness. Painted onto thick heavy board and framed in a solid wood frame that has been painted off white, this weighty picture has a very even, matte finish that adds to its overall aesthetic.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Allies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century modernist portrait of two figures, painted in oil onto board.

    Angular lines, distinctive forms, contrasting tones, a restrained palette, and a matte finish are all features in this piece.

    Here we have two female figures, depicted in a powerful standing stance, one staring straight at us and another looking down. Both stand with their arms folded and feet firmly on the ground, conveying a message of strength, firmness, and solidarity.

    The artist has used a restrained palette, focusing instead on the juxtaposition of light and dark. Short and visible multidirectional brushmarks give this paintings its texture and depth. The artist has applied thin layers of oil to the hardboard, giving the painting an even matte finish.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Spring Garden

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and lively picturesque landscape composition, executed in oil in 1948.

    The painting depicts a partial view of a balcony overlooking a well-manicured garden filled with colourful blooms and lush trees, as well as views of the calm blue sea that lies beyond it. The white chair in the foreground as well as garden furniture in the middle of the painting are empty, almost inviting and tempting the viewer to take a seat and enjoy the charming spring view.

    Executed with expressive and painterly brushstrokes in vibrant and saturated colours including green and orange, this artwork is sure to brighten any interior setting and uplift one’s mood.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a beautifully patterned wood frame with carvings. There are light scattered areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age), as well as a small area of paint loss along the left edge of the work (as shown in the photos). Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

  • Silhouettes

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

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

  • The Boy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An endearing and outstandingly executed portrait, rendered in oil in 1968.

    Painted in an expressionist style, the artwork depicts a well-dressed young boy wearing a beret, in a seated position with his gaze facing the viewer. His silhouette has been uniquely painted with a mix of dark bold outlines as well as white strokes.

    The artist shows off his painterly talents, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife.

    Using a muted earthy colours including green, pink and yellow, he has skillfully applied layers of contrasting shades with a palette knife in swift manner to reveal depth, interest and a stunning raw and textural feel.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It housed in its original mid century wood frame that pairs very well with the painting. The frame has some areas of marks and scuffs commensurate with its age.

  • Colour Blocking

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An expressive and characterful abstract painting, executed in oil in 1973.

    This work of art explores the beauty of colour, line and brushstroke. Using a mix of earthy and rich colours, the artist has thoughtfully selected and painted the respective contrasting tones into blocks of varying shapes with bold outlines, to create this stunning abstract pattern.

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

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, that has some minor marks.

  • Vantage Point

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

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

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

    An abstract composition is created using a unique group of geometric shapes in earthy shades of red, blue and green.

    Personal expression, freedom, and spontaneity are valued in this painting. The artist’s excellent use of gestural and sweeping brushstrokes imbue the work with energy.

    This gouache on paper is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, and is protected behind thick glass. There are some areas of marks and paint loss on the frame particularly at the bottom, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • An Encounter

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and striking mid century oil painting of a standing figure, painted onto canvas in a distinctly modernist style.

    The artist has focussed in on a single figure – a man stands in an alley, looking straight on at us. What would normally be quite confronting is softened and made friendly – the man stands casually with his hands in his pockets. Although his expression is undiscernible, we get a sense that this is a friendly and familiar encounter, someone we know, a father, a grandfather, an uncle.

    The figure is painted against an abstract background, but we can just about make out buildings on either side. There seems to be a luminosity and reflection in the way the artist has painted the background, perhaps a suggestion that it has just rained.

    This large and beautiful semi-abstract portrait is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age toning to the fabric, as shown in the photos, but this is commensurate with its age.

  • Women at Work

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and very unique mid century oil, painted on to canvas.

Several groups of figures fill the canvas, punctuated by a row of red trees to the left hand side. The artist has used a wonderfully earthy palette of rusty red and browns, which gives the painting a lovely homely feel. Consciously leaving out specific realistic details, the artist plays with colour, shape and form. As a viewer are eyes are left to explore these formal elements, which come together effectively and harmoniously, giving us a very palpable sense of what is going on and the feel of the scene.

    At almost a metre in height, this large painting is housed in its original mid century frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Mother

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

    A large and very unique gouache painting of a mother feeding her baby, painted in a distinctly modernist style.

    The subject of the painting – a mother breastfeeding her child – is an intimate, personal one. Yet intriguingly, the style in which the artist had chosen to depict this scene seems to remove this element of intimacy, at least at first glance.  What we notice at first are the lines and shapes rather than the actual scene.  The artist has created a geometric effect within the picture, playing with shape, form, line, colour and pattern. Bold outlines in black demarcate each of the coloured sections, imbuing it with an architectural effect.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner fabric lined slip.  The painting is in good vintage condition. There is some age toning to the inner section of the frame, and some minor scuffing to the outer edges. The painting is set behind a thick pane of glass.

    Size: 76 x 66 cm (including frame)

    This oil on canvas is in overall good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) in the painting. It is housed in a thin grey frame, that has some minor marks and scuffs.

  • Chic

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A joyful and visually striking semi-abstract mid century oil portrait by Swedish painter Hans Osswald, whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm as well as the Malmö Museum.

    The painting depicts a silhouette of a stylishly dressed woman wearing tie, set against a well-coloured background.

    A myriad of rich and bold shades have been used to create this well-balanced composition; and the artist has skilfully used several layers as well as blocks of contrasting tones to reveal form, texture and interest.

    Broad and expressive brushstrokes that have been executed so confidently fill the canvas, adding a lovely texture and imbuing the work with liveliness. Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are scattered areas of craquelure, and also small areas of paint loss to the lower right corner of the painting. However, this is in line with its vintage feel and does not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

    SOLD.

    A delightful and highly scenic modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil in 1959.

    A rich selection of pastel colours harmonise brilliantly to form this panoramic view of a village set against a rural landscape and under vast blue skies, as well as to create great depth.

  • Abstract Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subtle yet characterful modernist style landscape painted in 1996, that contains elements of abstraction and minimalism.

    Upon first glance, this landscape composition of 2 trees may appear simple to the eye. However as we take time to explore the painting further, one can notice its complexity and distinct exploration on geometric shapes, lines and colours.

    Using a restrained palette of varying shades of white, beige and orange, the artist has embraced the layering technique – applying colours over one another in a swift yet thoughtful manner to form this wonderfully textured composition as well as to demonstrate depth to the painting.

    A playful range of brushstrokes including dots, shorts dabs and thin vertical strokes have been used, adding liveliness and character to the piece.

    This oil on board  is housed in an outstanding grey and brown frame; and the colours of the frame pair perfectly with the painting as they thoroughly complement one another. There is a slight bowing and unevenness to the board.

    The artist has used an array of contrasting colours and painterly multidirectional brushstrokes to create depth in the painting.

    There is a softness and aura of calm to this painting which the artist has achieved through the use of multiple elements such as the muted pastel colour palette,  as well as the smooth transition from the land, still waters to the sky.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary brown wood frame with a linen lining that has some minor age marks.

  • The Marina

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually pleasing and charming modernist oil painting depicting a scene of a marina with several boats, and a row of huts that lined by the waterfront promenade.

    The artist has used a beautiful restrained palette – selectively choosing similar shades of white, yellow, and brown to paint the huts and boats that seemingly reflective each other.  This not only makes the artwork very well-balanced, but it also creates a sense of depth to the painting.

    Expressive and painterly brushworks have been applied in a swift manner, breathing so much energy and vigour to the overall artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a highly complementary grainy wood frame with an inner gilt and linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed and whimsical oil painting depicting 3 extended human heads outlined in red, seemingly in conversation.

    The artist displays his artistic talents – playing around with form, geometric shapes, colour as well as the application of paint – to make this painting a visual feast for the eyes.

    Blocks of light pastel colours have been skilfully applied onto the canvas through the use of a palette knife. This not only creates a smooth and creamy texture, but the way the layering and blending of colours have been revealed adds an element of depth and charm.

    This striking oil on canvas is housed in a thin light grey frame that complements the work very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A muted darker pastel palette comprising shades of purple, blue and pink have been used, imbuing the work with both a soft yet dramatic feel that is aligned to its melodic qualities.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, that complements the work very well. The frame has slight markings and scuffs, but this is very minor.

    The colours and brushstrokes in this painting are a visual feast for the eyes. Energetic and swift brushstrokes have been executed so confidently as they sweep across the canvas, adding a light layer of texture as well as a dynamic touch to the painting; and the vibrant colour palette including green, pink, and blue hues imbue the work with a lively and uplifting feel.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills by not only managing to arrest motion and capture the atmospheric qualities of the sky, and also wonderfully captures the reflection of the colours from the boat and sky cast on the water’s surface.

    This oil on canvas painting is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones. There are some surface marks and scuffs (as shown in the images) on the frame, however this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and is in line with its vintage charm.

  • Plate with Pansies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.

    This painting emphasises the beauty of still life, where a group of everyday objects that are normally ignored are placed centre stage, forcing us to look and notice their shape, form and colour. Here the artist has juxtaposed contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space. The broad and expressive brushstrokes add an element of tactility to the painting as well. Overall, there is a wonderful luminous and diaphanous quality to the painting.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a cream coloured linen border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Tempest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons.  The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Mid Century Man

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping Only. 

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

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

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

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

    Size: 80.5 x 62.5cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • Sunshine Road

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully executed and framed mid century landscape scene, painted in oil on to canvas.

    The artist has mastered his medium (oil), applying layers of colour that are luminous and fluid.  There is a distinct sense of playfulness here, where non naturalistic colours have given the landscape scene life, vibrancy and expression. We are able to analyse the application of the paint, layer by layer, giving us a glimpse into the artist’s process.

    The painting is very uniquely framed in its original mid century frame, which has a lovely wide profile. The outer and inner gilt windows are separated by a beautiful deep blue fabric lined border. The frame complements the painting wonderfully and really makes it stand out.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it does not detract from the attractiveness of the painting.

  • Study of a Standing Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic modernist style portrait, painted in oil and dated 1964.

    A nude figure is depicted standing on a muted pink platform and against a calming blue background. With her gaze slightly turned, she is back-facing the viewer and caught unaware.

    The artist demonstrates a great aptitude for painting the female body, as he skillfully captures the curves and angles of the figure.

    He has also used artistic techniques of shading and shadowing. These not only add the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality to the painting, but to direct our eyes as the viewer to the focal point of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning grainy wood frame with a double silver window and an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    This artwork embodies the spirit of movement through the use of colours and dynamic brushstrokes.

    Beautiful muted pastel and earthy colours dance around the canvas, imbuing the work with passion and energy.

  • Rooftops

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK shipping.

    A large mid century oil on canvas, painted in a distinctly modernist style. The artist has painted a broad, panoramic view of the rooftops of a coastal town, with the view of the sea in the distance. Flat planes of colour in broad and distinct brushstrokes have been juxtaposed one next to the other, creating a sense of space and depth within the picture, leading our eyes from the foreground (the roofs) to the background (the sea). This has also created a geometric effect which gives the painting an element of abstraction.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which has a very wide profile. The inner section has been lined with a grey fabric. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Size: 67 x 77 cm  (including frame)

  • Forest after Rain

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic abstract landscape, painted in oil onto canvas. This expressive painting beautifully and effectively captures the ‘essence’ of a wooded landscape. The artist has chosen not to paint in realistic details, and instead chooses to convey the feel of walking through the woods on what seems to be a rainy day. He has captured the life and dynamism of the natural landscape – his quick and expressive brushstrokes create a hazy, blurry feel, capturing the effect of wind and rain on the trees, bushes and ground.

    The painting is housed in a painted gilt frame, which suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses around its edges, but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the picture, and if anything adds to its character.

  • The White Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping.

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

    A large, vibrant still life oil on board, painted in 1939. Painted in an expressionist style, the artist has used broad and distinct brushstrokes to create this well balanced composition.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor surface scuffs to its edges (as seen on photos), which are typical for a mid century frame of this age.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life oil composition, depicting a flower pot placed on a window sill, with a glimpse into the surroundings outside.

    Upon looking at the painting, our eyes are immediately drawn to the flower vase, as its bolder colours are in contrast to the light and gentle pastel shades of the remaining forms.

    Through the use of swift and straight brushstrokes, the artist displays his painterly skills by utilising bold outlines as well as qualities of the shading technique and smooth gradation of colour to not only give rise to the various forms in the composition, but also to give the illusion of depth and dimensionality.

    A striking and emotive large mid 20th century modernist style nude portrait, executed in oil on canvas.

    A seated nude is depicted against a wonderfully painted backdrop. With her head resting on her hand, she is in a pensive pose, deep in thought.

  • Forest Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and emotive mid-century oil landscape painting, that contains elements of fauvism and abstraction.

    In this forest town, rows of houses are presented in the midst of lush greenery; and we can see 2 figures taking a stroll in the foreground.

    The painting not only highlights the artistic beauty of colour and brushstroke, but also acts as a projection of the artist’s inner emotional state.

    There is an explosion of colours in the canvas – with bold and vibrant shades of green, blue, red and yellow dominating and imbuing the painting with liveliness.

    There is also a gestural application of paint – where swift and unrestrained brushstrokes have been executed to create the various forms, adding dynamism to the work.

    This oil on canvas is house in a lovely gilt frame with red undertones. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Boat Trip

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and energetic modernist style seascape, rendered in oil in 1958.

    On this pleasant day, 2 boats are docked by the harbour and seagulls are flying above in the cloudy blue sky.

    The artist not only displays a deep understanding of colour, but also shows off his artistic talents by using differing brushstroke styles.

    The background of the painting is composed of impressionist-like qualities – where swift and uncontrolled brushstrokes have been used to depict the cloudy sky – with the intention to capture the fleeting and atmospheric conditions of that moment in time. As our eyes shift down to the middle and foreground of the painting, we can notice a transition in style – where short, straight and visible brushstrokes in a plethora of contrasting pastel colour shades have been used to render this overall stunning composition.

    This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a lovely light oak grainy frame with a linen lining, which pairs perfectly well with the work, making it stand out. There is minor ageing to the frame which is commensurate with its age.

  • Still Life in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lively and visually striking still life composition, executed in oil on canvas.

    Depicting a group of objects including a pair of flower vases and apples set against an outstanding cobalt blue backdrop, this painting explores the expressive qualities of brushstrokes and colour.

    The colour scheme of this composition is bold and bright; and the artist has swiftly and confidently executed multi-directional straight lined brushstrokes to fill in all areas of the canvas, adding a sense of dynamism to the work.

    This painting on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is currently unframed but should you wish to have assistance with framing, feel free to contact us at info@discerningpalette.com.

  • The Couple

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

     

    This ink study on board is set within a wooden mount and a simple light wood frame. There are visible imperfections, such as age spots and surface discolouration and marks as shown in the photos. We think it is these imperfections that add to the charm of the piece and give it its character!

  • Line Portrait

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A cleverly executed, charming line portrait of a lady, draw in ink. Using the simple yet expressive power of the line, the artist has created this rather striking monochromatic, minimalist composition. Reminiscent of the line drawings of Pablo Picasso, this drawing reduces what would normally be a complicated image to powerful fluid lines.

    This ink study on paper is set within a white card mount, and in a black frame with a gilt inner lining. Both drawing and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Knitting

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful and atmospheric mid century oil portrait , painted onto canvas. An elderly lady sits on a chair on a balcony, with a wicker basket by her feet, quietly knitting away. The artist has used a calm, soft colour palette to create this tranquil picture, and distinct and broad brushstrokes give it depth and texture. The artist has intentionally left out realistic details, focusing instead on form, line, shape and colour.

    This oil on board is housed in its original cream and silver frame with an inner fabric lined border, which suits this painting perfectly and really brings out its palette. The painting has an area of craquelure to the top right section, but overall the paint layer is stable. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. Overall it is in good condition. There is a small loss to the upper left corner of the frame (as shown in photos) but again this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

  • Standing Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic modernist style portrait, painted in oil onto board. The artist has used smooth, distinct brushstrokes to compose the figure, leaving out realistic details and features. There is a sense of timeless-ness to this piece, where place, time and context are not present. One of the most attractive features of this piece is the way in which the artist has skilfully allowed the board to show through and has even incorporated it such that it adds to both depth and shade. We also get a sense of the ‘behind the scenes’ workings of the artist which certainly adds to the charm of the piece.

    This oil on board is housed in its original champagne gilt frame with an inner fabric lined border which suits the painting beautifully and really makes it a stand out further. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • French River

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large, bold and striking mid-century landscape view of a French river, executed in oil on board.

    It is a fine day in Autumn, and figures can be seen strolling along the promenade by the river.

    Executed in a fauvist style, the painting is characterised by energetic and unrestrained brushwork that imbue the work with dynamism. A vivid earthy colour palette with bold outlines around various forms adds to its striking nature.

    This oil on board is housed in a robust mid century dark gilt frame with red tints. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with some very minor scuffs around the edges of the frame which are commensurate for its age.

  • Petit Déjeuner

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and energetic mid-century still life composition, executed in oil on canvas.

    The focal colour in this painting is blue, and the artist has used a wide range of shades in this colour to paint the background and foreground.

    Placed atop a table are a group of objects including a plate of fish, fruit, a jug and some bottles.

    There is dynamism to this composition which can be strongly reflected through the urgent and powerful multi-directional brushstrokes.

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

  • Shapes

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This mid century oil painting shows distinct elements of cubist influences:  what appears to possibly be fishing nets drying along the coast have been reduced to simplified coloured shapes from different angles, resulting in a picture that appears fragmented and abstracted. Following the cubist ethos, the artist has broken down the landscape and the objects within it down into distinct areas, or planes. This has emphasised the two dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of realistic depth.

    This oil painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that brings out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Nuns

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely mid-century oil painting featuring a group of nuns walking through an alleyway between buildings, painted in 1955.

    Leaning towards abstraction, the artist has flattened and simplified the forms, reducing them down to planes of contrasting colour. Clearly working with a modernist ethos in mind, he has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and has played with shape, line, colour and form to create a sense of depth and space.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century wood frame with visible grain and an inner fabric lined window. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Modernist Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A typically modernist mid century portrait of a man, painted in oil onto canvas. Reminiscent of the colourist works of the Fauvist painter Henri Matisse,  this painting emphasises flattened and simplified forms, as well as expressive and non naturalistic colours. Planes of bright, contrasting colour have almost been ‘arranged’ on the canvas like a puzzle, creating the portrait that we see. This striking modernist portrait would make a real statement in any interior, but would also fit in with a ‘gallery wall’ style hang wonderfully.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a bronze inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 54 x 34cm (including frame)

  • Wander

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gentle and tranquil modernist style oil painting of a scenic coastal scape – presenting a row of huts laid in between the vast sea and a lush forest.

    Rhythmic and multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas; and there is a seamless transition of light texture from the left of the canvas to a smooth surface to paint the sky and sea on the right.

    A light and soft colour palette with a touch of muted pastel tones have been used, instilling a sense of calm in the work. There is an outstanding play of colours where the artist has skilfully used contrasting shades to create depth and width in this panoramic painting.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a linen lining that has some minor scuffing to the corners and age toning to the fabric but otherwise is in good and stable condition overall.

  • Passing Time

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    With a playful colour palette and a semi abstract composition, this vivid oil on board depicts two figures lazing on the grass, with what appears to be hills/meadows behind them. Both figures appear comfortable and relaxed, with the one on the left holding a flower in her hand, and the figure on the right lying down beside her caught up in his own thoughts. There is a sense of time passing slowly – neither figure is in a rush to leave, and yet it looks like they have been there for a while.

    This painting could almost be a reminder or keepsake of the memories of lockdown, when sitting in a park or field was the only outdoor activity one could do!

    The painting is housed in a hessian lined frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing to the edges.

  • Outland

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An earthy, rustic picture of a rural landscape painted in oil onto board. The artist shows off his painterly technique, using broad, expressive, and textured brushwork  to paint the rural landscape in all its glory. He has managed to capture the raw quality of the provincial scene through his use of colours, strokes and textures.

    Our eyes are at first drawn to the cottage, but are then directed upwards to the sky and then to the green trees on the left. Finally we are left to rest on the lower section of the picture, where the artist has softened the palette and loosened the sections, creating an almost abstract composition.

    The painting is housed in its original wide profile mid century frame, which is of as much character as the painting itself. It has a linen covered border and and inner gilt and wood window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The gilt edging on the frame has some minor scuffing but otherwise the frame is in good and stable condition overall.

  • The Wagon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

Although largely abstract in composition, the artist has still skilfully alluded to a calm coastal landscape, which adds to the sense of calm in this moody painting.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame, which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Green Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An abstracted landscape of trees, painted in oil onto board. The artist has used a rich and earthy palette of greens, blacks and browns to create this semi-abstract painting. He has focused on form, shapes, patterns and lines, and consciously ignored the reality of a tree filled landscape. Leaves, branches and trunks have been reduced to flat planes of coloured shapes and bold lines. The visible brushstrokes in a matte finish give this painting its distinct mid century modern style, and would stand out in any interior.

    The painting is housed in a simple dark brown wood frame. There are some minor surface marks to both frame and painting, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece, and if anything add to its charm.

    The painting gives us a glimpse into a decorated interior setting. Placed atop a wooden dining table sit 2 blossoming flower vases, plates as well as a glass carafe.

    Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist skilfully contorting reality, while using contrasting shades to create depth and a sense of space.

    The soft pastel hues as well as fine and delicate brushstrokes deeply complement one another, imbuing the work with a sense of calm and serenity.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills, as he wonderfully captures the translucent nature of the glass carafe and sheer window curtains.

    This oil on canvas is is housed in a thin wood frame that sits flush with the painting. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

    Size: 84 x 57 cm (including frame)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotive vintage mid-century of a nude figure seated on a chair by a bedside, executed in oil.

    The woman’s gaze is turned away from the us, and she seems to be deep in thought. There is a soft glow particularly to the background, alluding to candlelight.

    This classic, timeless oil features soft and painterly brushstrokes that have been thoughtfully executed. The artist has used a muted earthy colour palette that reflects the calm, tender mood of the setting.

  • Paint Pots

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and well executed still life in oil, painted in 1969. The artist has used an intense palette of dark colours as well as bold, expressionist brushstrokes to create this striking still life composition. The darker palette imbues the painting with an almost melancholic vibe, in many way reminiscent of the sombre colours, flattened spaces and overall mood of the paintings of French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet, who was also painting around this time.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century frame , with a gilt outer birder and an inner linen lined window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Yellow & Grey

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A skilfully executed mid century abstract painted in oil onto canvas. It features a combination of broad brushwork and fluid paint applied both thinly and thickly, creating differing textures and overlays. A soft palette of yellows, greys, blues and whites have been used, creating a calming composition of colours to rest our eyes on.

    This mid century oil is reminiscent of the abstract expressionist works by the artist William de Kooning, whose painting style came to be known as ‘action panting’.

    It is housed in its original mid century distressed gilt frame, which complements it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, and a small loss to the the upper right corner (as shown), but this is not obvious when looking at the painting front on.

  • The Lantern

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and typically modernist oil still life, painted onto board. The artist has used swathes of expressive brushstrokes and thick bold outlines in this composition. The background is indistinct, with flat planes of colour used to create a sense of depth. A yellow lantern sits in the centre of the composition, and a potted plant to the right. There is certainly an element of abstraction in this picture, with the artist focusing on forms, lines and shapes instead of realistic details to create this still life.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame, with an inner fabric lined border. The painting has a small area of surface paint loss to the upper right corner, and some light surface marks overall (as shown in photos), but these do not detract from its overall attractiveness and if anything adds to its vintage charm. The frame has some minor areas of discolouration and scuffs but again this is typical for its age.

  • Night Street

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An atmospheric mid century oil of a street scene at night time, painted in oil onto board. The artist has beautifully captured the atmosphere of the night – the lights from the street and shophouses emit a soft glow, and a figure cycles down the lane towards us. A cathedral, though monumental in size, sits quietly under the midnight blue of the sky. The artist has painted in an expressionist style, using quick and distinct brushstrokes to paint in this richly coloured night time scene.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century light wood frame which has a silver border, and an inner cream coloured slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a few minor scuffs along its silver edging.

  • By the Boats

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small yet striking mid century oil on board depicting a row of figures and two boats by the shore.  This simple yet intriguing composition has been beautifully executed in an expressive manner. The artist has used distinct brush strokes with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to create this well balanced composition in oil. He has focused on shape, form and line rather than realistic details of the scene. There is a calming, almost innocent like effect to this painting which makes it a pleasure to look art.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner fabric lined border, which suits it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The edges of the frame have a few minor scuffs, but this is typical for a frame of this age.

  • Mountain Lake

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A semi abstract landscape view of a mountainous lake scene, painted in oil in 1975. There is an almost sketch-like, unfinished feel to this painting, which adds to its abstract quality. Yet when we take our time to inspect the painting, it is evident that the artist was very intentional with his style. Large, expressive strokes fill the canvas with swathes of colour, with some several areas painted thinly, allowing the texture of the canvas to show through.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with reddish brown tints and an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • View of the Wharf

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and calming view of Stadsgården – the wharf on the shore of the Baltic Sea in Stockholm, Sweden. The artist has painted in an expressive manner – swift yet delicate strokes fill the canvas, creating this panoramic harbour scene. On the left side of the painting we can just see side wall and top edge of a balcony, where we can picture ourselves (or the artist) standing and looking out at the beautiful view before us.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which is a robust light wood frame with a wide profile and visible grain. There is a also a green edging to the frame (as shown), which adds a lovely effect. The painting has some overall scattered craquelure, typical for a painting of this age.

  • Evening Reading

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid century still life, painted in oil in 1946. Rich saturated colours in deep tones fill the canvas, with pops of yellow, red and green that draw our attention in ever closer. There is a loose sense of time, with the shadows and darkened tones suggesting an evening light and the closing of the day. A couple of art catalogues sit casually next to a slender vase, beckoning us to take a seat and have a browse. A lone apple lays separately from its group, adding a bold lime green punctuation to the overall composition. Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist cleverly using colours and shapes to create depth and a sense of space. Bold lines, distinct and painterly brush marks, and juxtaposing colours make this painting a statement picture.

    This oil is housed in its original mid century robust and heavy champagne gilt frame in a distressed style.  The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses to the inner slip and some general wear (as shown in the photos), but we think this adds to the overall charm of the piece.

  • By the River

    Sold

    SOLD

    A Swedish mid century riverscape scene, painted in oil on 1947. The painting is compositionally very well balanced and has a lovely depth to it, which the artist has created through capturing several elements of the landscape in layers. Branches and leaves of a tree peek in from the left, directing our eyes towards the river water, with its swirling ripples. Our eyes are then directed upwards by the tall tree that is just off centre, which then leads us to the row of colourful buildings that sit along the river edge. The light blue of the sky is reflected in the windows of the buildings, and again in the ripples of the water, creating a nice flow and harmony within the painting. There are several details that slowly reveal themselves as our eyes rest on the picture, making it a very satisfying picture to look at.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which has a red border with gilt tints, and and inner beige window. There are some marks to the lower section of the frame, but otherwise the painting is in good vintage condition with no losses.

  • Window View

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quirky, cheery mid century oil of flowers on a window sill, painted onto canvas. Delicate white flowers sit in a decorative blue and red vase that is perched on a window sill, framed by yellow curtains. We can just make out the view out the window, where we see the tops of  several colourful buildings. The artist has painted in an expressionist style, with distinct brush strokes in vivid saturated colours, imbuing the painting with a merry, playful feel.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame that suits it very well, and brings out the colours in the painting. There are small areas of paint loss and craquelure to the lower half of the painting (as shown in close ups), typical for an oil of this age, but these losses are fairly inconspicuous.

  • The Yard

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century Swedish landscape oil, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used bold, sweeping brushstrokes in the lower half of the picture, with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface), in rich earthy colours. This is juxtaposed with the softer, more delicate strokes he has used for the trees in the upper half of the picture, which skilfully conveys the movement of the leaves in the wind. A group of farm dwellings sit in the centre of the picture, balancing the overall composition. The artist has used the medium of oil to successfully convey the raw, weathered textures of the rural buildings.  The subtle, earthy colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.

    The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Alley

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid-century modernist style painting of a street scene in a quiet neighbourhood, executed in oil.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents of the use of a palette knife not only in the application of paint, but in mixing colours as well.

    Through the selection of naturalistic colours, as well as the use of a palette knife in a swift and sweeping motion, areas of smooth creamy paint fill the canvas, adding a lovely three-dimensional texture to the painted surface and also capturing the raw feel of the worn and weathered building surfaces.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary distressed silver frame. It has some minor scuffs but this is typical for a frame of this age and adds to the charm of the ‘distressed’ style of it.

  • The Vibrant Island

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and energetic modernist style oil painting of Riddarholmen, a small island in central Stockholm, Sweden.

    Rendered in a semi abstract manner, the artist displays his artistic talents by using contrasting blocks of rich colours to give rise to the various forms in this charming landscape, and to create depth within the composition.

    Swift and energetic brushstrokes have been confidently executed, and we can feel feel the liveliness of this vibrant island.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary robust gilt frame that has some scuffs (as shown in the images) but this is in keeping with its overall style.

  • Blue Hour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and wonderfully executed oil painting of boats docked at a harbour, right before the sun begins to rise during blue hour.

    The artist has worked with a saturated colour palette of blues, purples, reds and oranges, and has combined this with bold, angular lines, creating an architectural effect.

    The softness of the brushstrokes juxtapose well with the angular lines and saturated palette, alluding to the pleasant quietude on this calm morning.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne gilt frame.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Croft

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A calm, earthy mid century rural landscape oil, painted on to board in 1947. The artist has used expressive, painterly brushtrokes in earthy and warm tones of green, brown, beige and blue to create this tranquil landscape. He has included areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to create depth and texture within the painting. The way he has used expressive strokes lends an abstract quality  to this mid century oil.

    The painting is housed in a cream coloured wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition with no major losses.

  • Golden Light

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and beautifully textured mid century oil, painted onto canvas. This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features thick, bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible). That being said, the artist has managed to strike a find balance between an emotional response and capturing the scene before him and how it looked. The combination of the texture and colouring of this painting makes it a stand out piece.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century grey frame, and an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Still Waters

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and panoramic lake scene, painted in oil onto board. Confident, expressive brushstrokes in rich colours have been applied to create this painting of a lake by a forest. The water lies still and calm, allowing the reflection of the trees to be cast beautifully on the waters, creating a symmetrical effect. The artist has used several layers of colour as well as areas of impasto (where the paint is thickly applied such that it stands proud from the surface) to create texture and depth.

    The painting is housed in a simple white wooden frame, and is in very good vintage condition.

  • The Café

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

  • Nude Study

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large, richly coloured mid century nude study oil, painted in 1949.  There is a palpable sense of ‘ease’ to the nude figure, who sits relaxed in her chair – her face and body are relaxed, with no ounce of stiffness present. Her surroundings too are homely and warm – a flower pot sits by the window with the curtain drawn open, letting the natural light in.

    The artist has painted skilfully and confidently, using a rich, saturated colour palette to paint this expressive study, and has included areas of impasto (where the painted thickly such that it stands proud from the surface)  to add texture and depth.

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

  • Man in Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A pensive and thoughtful mid century portrait in oil, painted in an expressionist style. Depicted in this piece is a seated faceless figure, whose details have been intentionally left out.

  • Cocoa

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A typically modernist mid century large abstract oil, painted onto board in 1960. The artist has created a completely abstract picture, playing with form, line, shape and colour. He has used a fairly restrained palette, working mostly in brown, black and white. This painting is very remiscnent of the works by British Modern St Ives artist Ben Nicholson, whose abstract drawings and paintings featured flat shapes and lines and an absence of ornament.  Nicholson would also often use a razor blade to scrape back the paint so that the pictures look weather beaten and old, as if they have been eroded by time, much like the artist has done here in the white section of the painting, creating varied areas of both textured and flat surfaces.

    The painting is housed in a simple but very well suited black slip. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Autumn Street

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A dynamic mid century oil of an autumnal scene painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used large, expressive, multi-directional brushstrokes in a vibrant range of non-naturalistic colours to create the composition we see before us. Set under a blue and white sky with streaks of red, we see a row of houses surrounded by autumnal coloured trees. The artist has focused on the shape, form and line, intentionally leaving out realistic details. For example,  the trees have been paired down to brushstrokes of orange, red, yellow and brown, and no individual leaves can be seen. Flattened blocks of colours and thick bold lines have been used to create to a sense of space within the picture.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous mid century wood frame with visible grain, and both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Abstract Bridge

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and semi abstract mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1966.

    We can be forgiven for not being able to see the subject pictured here as the artist has simplified the forms into flattened shapes so dramatically that the painting looks almost fully abstract at first glance. He has used large blocks of juxtaposing colour in a multi-directional, expressive style to create this lively composition. As our eyes begin to get accustomed to the view before us, a river bridge slowly begins to reveal itself. This transitional effect between abstraction and reality and vice versa makes this painting wonderfully interesting to look at, and encourages us to move between different viewing modes.

    The painting is housed in a robust wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Holiday Town

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding and lively mid century cityscape by a Mediterranean coast, painted in oil in 1964.

    Lush tall palm trees and colourful buildings fill the streets, and the sun shines its rays on this scorching hot day.

    This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.

    Blocks of contrasting bold colours that harmonise  well together have been used to give rise to the various forms, and we can feel the strong energetic vibe of this town from the sweeping and confidently executed brushstrokes.

    This oil on board  has some light surface scratches (close ups are included in the photos above) but is in good condition overall. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a an inner gilt window

  • French Town

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully painted mid century oil painting of a French townscape, executed in oil.

    Depicting a quiet town situated in the hills, the work has been executed in a semi-abstract manner through the use of visible and painterly multi-directional brushstrokes.

    There is a haunting beauty and a sense of melancholy in this painting –  mainly brought forth from the black tones that contrast strongly against the bold earthy shades.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a wood frame with a linen lining that has seen a loss to the bottom left corner (as shown  clearly in the photos).

  • On Patrol

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

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

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

  • Fishing Huts

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fun, playful, mid century Swedish oil, painted on board in a Naïve style (Naïve art is characterised by childlike simplicity of execution and vision. As such it has been valued by modernists seeking to get away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system).

    A row of red fishing huts line the fishing lake, and behind them we see the forest, and mountains and the salmon pink sky. To the left stands a cheerful figure, adding a wonderful playfulness to the composition.

    The painting is currently unframed and is painted onto very sturdy board. It has surface wear around the outermost edges (as shown in photos) where it was previously framed. A new frame would cover these marks. You could also choose to display in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. Should you wish to have it framed and would like our assistance, you can contact us via email info@discerningpalette.com.

  • The Pick Up

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

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

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

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A tranquil and well executed mid century oil painting, rendered in an abstract and geometric style.

  • The Pantry

    Sold

    SOLD

    A skilfully executed mid century Swedish still life painted in oil on to board.  The artist has used a rich, earthy palette to create this still life composition, and has included areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud from the surface) which create texture. There is an element of mystery to this picture, as not all the objects are discernible. The artist has used bold, distinct lines to create these shapes and forms and has focused on these formal elements as opposed to trying to paint a realistic still life picture.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which is very unique. It has an off white, ridged outer border, followed by a grey fabric lined window and then a silver inner window. The silver window has some minor scuffing typical for a painting of this age. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

  • Winter Willow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A well balanced mid century Swedish oil of willow trees set within a winter landscape, painted onto canvas in 1984. The artist has worked in an expressionist style, using non naturalistic colours to create the composition we see. We are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skilfully used contrasting flat areas of colour to create depth and a sense of space within this semi-abstract picture.

    The picture is housed in a simple gilt frame, which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Ibiza

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping.

    A large and striking mid century oil on canvas, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has intentionally focused on the harmony of colours as well as balancing shape and form, as opposed to any intricate details. The figures have been paired right down to simple shapes, as have the details of the landscape. There is a great sense of rhythm and balance in this picture. The large size and rich, vivid colour palette in textured brushstrokes would make this painting stand out in any interior.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century hessian frame which suits it just wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some very light scuffing to the edges of the frame, which certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    Size: 62.5 x 82.5 cm (including frame)

  • The Chalet

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century fauvist style oil, painted in 1950. Reminiscent of works by artists such as Matisse, this painting emphasises flattened forms, intense colourism, and decorative pattern. Painterly qualities, fierce brushwork and strong colour have been favoured over representation or realistic values. Beyond the skilful execution, this painting has a wonderful playful feel to it. It would make a striking statement piece in any interior. The childlike nature of the colours could also make it very suitable for a child’s room or a nursery.

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

  • The Cook

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free UK Shipping.

    A very large and vivid mid century kitchen interior scene, painted in oil onto board. The artist has used large, expressive brushstrokes in this painting, adding lots of texture and movement. The scene that the artist has chosen to paint is a heart-warming, and homely one – I’m sure many of us have memories of our mothers or grandmothers busily cooking away at the stove, preparing meals for us that we can still remember the distinct taste of.

    This large, expressive oil is housed in its original mid century wood frame with a fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Fjords

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Painted in 1951, this gorgeous oil depicts the landscape of the fishing village of Reine in Lofoten, Norway. Lofoten is known for its breath-taking scenery, which has been captured by the artist in a very personal way. Rather than a realistic depiction of the Arctic ocean and its peaks, the artist has brought into focus the colourful fishing sheds that contrast wonderfully against the snowy landscape.  There is a wonderful playfulness to the palette, composition and brushstrokes, and the way in which the artist has abstracted the scenery.

    This large painting is housed in its original mid century distressed light grey frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses to its edges, as shown in the photos, which are typical for its age.

    A finely executed and well-balanced seascape with boats at a harbour, rendered in oil.

    Painted in an impressionist manner, the artist has not only used a wonderful palette of varying shades of blues, whites and yellows to render this stunning composition; but has also used a combination of brushwork from long and sweeping strokes, to gentle and short strokes that pervade the painting with an air of calm and tranquility.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner wood and red lined border. The red on the frame picks up on the palette of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Perspective

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subtle and soothing panoramic landscape, rendered in oil in 1964. Depicting vast open skies and rural land, the work has been executed in a semi-abstract manner with beautiful muted pastel colours.

    Long, gentle and sweeping horizontal brushstrokes fill the canvas, enriching it as it overflows with softness and calm.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents by using contrasting planes of colours to demonstrate a sense of depth in the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an elegant gilt frame which complements it very well. There are small spots of surface discolouration to the right side of the painting (as seen in photos), but these are visible only upon close inspection and do not detract from the overall beauty of the piece. The frame has some minor scuffing but again this is typical for its age and if anything these imperfections add an overall charm to the piece.

  • Cycling Along

    Sold

    SOLD.

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

    The painting is housed in a unique mid century hessian frame, with inner and outer borders in dark wood. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Through the Fields

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A vibrant and expressive mid century oil on board, painted in 1961. In the foreground the artist has used long thin strokes to depict a grassy landscape, which appears to have a lake. Beyond this, we see a row of houses and trees set under a light coloured sky. There is a wonderful dynamism to this painting, created through the use of energetic brushstrokes in bright, intense colours. The artist has skilfully used a myriad of layering techniques to give this panoramic panting depth and texture.

  • Jerez

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A small but brilliantly executed abstract cityscape in oil of the city of Jerez in Southern Spain, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1958. A deep, rich and earthy palette of browns, dark greys and greens give this picture its punch. Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for. This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century greyish-brown wood frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Coastal Memories

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This expressive and atmospheric mid century oil on board depicts an abstracted coastal scene with figures. There is a sketch-like quality to the painting, with the figures and structures outlined in thin black strokes, which were probably done free hand on the spot as the artist sketched ‘en plein air’.  A distinctly cool colour palette has been used, including blue, green and purple, imbuing the painting with a calming and relaxing feel. The abstracted, suffused nature of the painting gives us the sense that this is almost a hazy memory, perhaps of good times spent by the coast. There is also a rawness to the quality of the painting – we can see the distinct and coarse brush that the artist has used in many areas, where it has also created areas of impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud of the surface), creating a very textured surface.

    The painting is housed in a thin gilt frame, which suits the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and expressive abstract expressionist Swedish oil on canvas, painted in 1962.

  • Blue Soul

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This stunning mid century abstract in oil is not only a celebration of colour, but an excellent example of how simplicity can be magnetic.

    With an under layer of tiffany blue  and an over layer of ultra marine, the artist has used the richness and luminosity of these shades of blue to draw us in.  The painting invites us to pay rigorous attention to colour, as our eyes soak up its richness. Reminiscent of the iconic colour field paintings of Mark Rothko, its saturated colour glows meditatively and asks for our complete absorption.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame which enhances its mid century feel. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    SOLD.

    An outstanding mid century still life depicting a vase of dahlias set against a patterned backdrop, executed in oil.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautiful expressionist oil of the landscape of Varengeville, a commune in the Normandy region in northern France. Featuring prominently in this composition is the small church of Saint-Valery, which sits by the side of the cliff along the Alabaster coast, under the early morning light. Interestingly, the churchyard holds the tomb of the Cubist artist Georges Braque, who was inspired and mesmerised by Varengeville and lived there for many years. In this painting, the artist has used a wonderful array of light and pastel colours to capture the landscape, creating a post impressionist feel.

    The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame, which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both the painting and its frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some minor scuffing to the far corners of the frame.

    The painting is housed in a painted wooden slip. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Sale!

    The Long Road

    £270

    Available

    A wonderfully executed sombre oil painting depicting two figures walking down a long open road, dated 1938.

    The canvas is filled with expressive brushstrokes that have been executed confidently, in a restrained mellow colour palette.

    The figures could almost be missed at first glance – their size pales in comparison to the vast lands and gloomy skies above them.

    The painting could point to both the importance of human connection, as well as the insignificance of human life against the scale of the universe.

    The painting is housed in a robust, heavy silver painted distressed wood frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some losses to the edges which have been painted over in silver and are thus inconspicuous unless closely inspected.

  • Moonlit Winter

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An atmospheric and textured mid century oil on board of a rural winter landscape. The artist has used a restrained palette, keeping to fairly monochrome tones, with shades of white, cream, brown and black. The use of several areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) and the layering of the different colours give the painting depth and texture. The artist has managed to capture the sense of cold, frosty winds blowing the snow in different directions, burying the cottages that we see depicted. Sitting prominently in the sky is a full moon, adding to the atmospheric nature of the painting.

    The painting is housed in an elegant thin gold frame, which suits it very well and illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • One Fine Day

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding and vibrant scenic landscape with houses, rendered in oil and dated 1962.

    The artist shows off his painterly skills – displaying his talents of the use of a palette knife not only in the application of paint, but in mixing colours as well.

    Through the use of a palette knife in a swift and sweeping motion, areas of smooth creamy paint fill the canvas, adding a lovely three-dimensional texture to the lively painted surface.

    The artist also has a deep understanding of colour. Using a myriad of shades, not only has he been able to mix and layer the respective colours that harmonise brilliantly to give rise to the various forms, but has also used contrasting planes of colours to demonstrate depth in this painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a simple white wooden frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Abstract Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking miniature landscape oil painting, executed in an abstract manner, painted in 1987.

    Upon first glance we notice the broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes filling up the canvas of this lively composition.

    As our eyes rest on the composition, we begin to take in the way in which artist has skilfully managed to abstract what appears to be a pleasant landscape (blue and purple skies in the background, lush greenery in the foreground) through the use of contrasting colours.

    This oil on canvas housed in a white box frame would make a lovely statement piece that would suit a shelf or a gallery hang perfectly. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The pins that have been used to fix the canvas onto the frame are visible around the outside edges of the frame, as shown in photos.

  • Triple Threat

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking watercolour of three figures in watercolour, painted in a distinctly modernist style. The figures have been simplified down to shapes and lines – the artist has used simple forms such as circles, rectangles and triangles to render the figures, combined with bold outlines in black, and planes of coloured forms.  This painting is reminiscent of the style of work by modernist artists such as Pablo Picasso.

    The painting is housed in a  white cared mount and an oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Abstract Palette

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A skilfully executed mid century abstract painted in oil onto board. It features a combination of broad brushwork and fluid paint applied both thinly and thickly, creating differing textures and overlays.

    Despite its abstract nature, the colour palette and composition could allude to the natural landscape of a coastal scene. The top section of the painting, with its blues and whites, could represent the sea, and the sandy tones of brown, beige, white and black could also be an abstraction of the shoreline. Although we will never know the artist’s source of inspiration or whether or not he intended to represent anything tangible, it is a wonderful process of imagination and freedom to be able to draw our own conclusions and visualise our own personal connections to a particular composition.

    This mid century oil is reminiscent of the abstract expressionist works by the artist William de Kooning, whose painting style came to be known as ‘action panting’.

    It is housed in a light wood frame, which complements it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sorrow

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An emotional vintage nude oil portrait, painted in 1948. This mid century oil on board is a raw yet beautiful depiction of sadness and sorrow. A sole nude female figure sits with her head between her knees, with nothing around her except for the green stool she is seated on. Her face is concealed by her arm, adding to the idea that  sadness is a human condition experienced by many, and a reminder that we are not alone when we feel fragile or negative

    The painting is housed in a distressed gilt frame with an inner white window, which suits the painting very well. The painting has areas of paint loss and flaking (perhaps an uncanny reflection of the fragility and vulnerability of the portrait in the painting).

  • Craftsmanship

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking still life composition that has been painted onto board. The artist has used a variety of media, including oil and gouache, to render this detailed composition. The surface of the board has been painted over with a matte textured white, and on top of that the artist has used oil, gouache and watercolour to paint the objects, resulting in a very striking colour palette that really stands out from the surface, while at the same time achieving an incredible level of detail. The choice of tools and objects have created a very well balanced horizontal composition, while at the time drawing the viewer in and encouraging us to inspect all the details.

  • Seated Nude

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully painted modernist composition of a female nude figure, skilfully executed in oil in 1942. The model is portrayed in a home setting, seated on a bench  against a sanguine and green background. With her gaze facing away from the viewer, she is unaware and caught up in her own thoughts.

    Expressive and swift brushstrokes have been executed in a confident manner. The artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours, and also of the human body. Not only has he captured the curves of her anatomy wonderfully, but has also mixed and layered the various earthy tones to render the complex nature of skin perfectly and with great emotion.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame lined with linen and an inner white border. The mid century frame has signs of ageing that are typical for its age, but these imperfections add to the charm of the piece.

  • Coast in Colour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century coastal scape, painted in oil onto canvas. The artist appears to have taken inspiration from the modernist concept of fauvism, which is a style characterised by strong non-naturalistic colours and bold brushwork. The forms of the subjects (in this case the land, trees, sea and sky) have been simplified, making them appear quite abstract. The artist has also used complementary/opposing colours side by side, which make the painting look brighter.

  • Blocks

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and bold mid century abstract oil on canvas, painted in 1966. Distinct, expressionist brushstrokes have been used across this composition to create this lively and dynamic painting. The artist has played with a myriad of colours, abstracting what appears to be a cityscape down to contrasting colours in rectangular blocks. The top section of the canvas has a more restrained palette, with a blend of greys and greens, but the colours get increasingly rich as we move down from the canvas. In the middle section, we see the use of darker black outlines as well.

  • Horizon

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This minimalist mid century oil on board has a typically modernist feel.  Although it is possible to discern some features in what appears to be a landscape, the artist has abstracted the forms such that this can be open to interpretation. The painting has a lovely raw matte texture, and has a distinct focus on line, shape, form and colour. The artist has used features of the landscape as inspiration for abstraction.  This painting has a ‘St Ives School’ feel to it, and is certainly reminiscent of the works by modern British artists such as Ben Nicholson and Alfred Wallis.

The colourful flowers and apples have been set against a pastel blue and purple background, which really pulls the whole still life composition together.

  • The Tanker

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully monochromatic work of art presenting a ship sailing solo in the ocean. There is the sense of the quiet, but also of the vastness of the ocean. In this painting, the tanker appears tiny within the expansive ocean and sky.

    The artist has used a restrained palette comprising varying shades of grey, and it is this darkness of both the land and water that conveys a sense of power and strength, that envelopes the whole picture, including what would normally be an enormous tanker.  The artist has skilfully managed to convey the power and strength while still evoking an overall sense of visual calm and stillness in the painting.

    The oil painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame, which has a few minor nicks around the edges, but this does not detract from the overall beauty of the picture. The painting is in very good vintage condition with no losses.

    An outstanding mid century still life painting of pears, painted onto board. A group of 5 pears in varying colours, ranging from greens, to red-orange, to brown and white, are set against a striking blue glass plate.

  • Stockholm

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

  • Minimalist Sheep

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding oil painting that explores the concepts of minimalism and abstraction.

    The artwork depicts a group of sheep situated in between 2 large trees in an orangey yellow landscape setting, where all forms presented are spontaneously outlined in thin black lines.

    Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its childlike simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non essentials – focusing our attention to the beautiful essence of colour as well as the qualities of lines that may come across as simplistic but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame that complements the painting wonderfully. Both artwork and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Dream

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A bold and intriguing surrealist painting, executed in oil. Surrealism is an artistic movement that focuses on the exploration of the unconscious mind. This work heavily bears its elements, presenting a dream-like imagery of unexpected forms coming together. Apart from a mix of objects including a tomato, cup, and a moon floating around, we can spot an animal and a human form merging as one on the left, and a guitar and vase blending in on the right.

    Although peculiar, this work of art is nevertheless fascinating and reminds us that strange beauty can be found in the unexpected.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning mid century Swedish oil on board, painted in 1964. A group of 3 bedouins sit to the right, with a single standing figure forming the focus of the composition to the right. In a typically modernist style, the artist has abstracted both the figures and the landscapes, using blocks of contrasting colour to create depth and a sense of space. The striking blue of the figures’ headscarves and robes contrast beautifully against the sandy browns and greys of the desert landscape. There is a wonderful stillness to the piece which adds to its striking composition.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A quaint and lovely Swedish mid century still life, painted in oil. Potted floral pots sit on a kitchen window sill, with a backdrop of a snowy street scape with a vivid red building. The artist alludes to the fact that it is warm and cosy inside by including the thermometer that sits on the right side, juxtaposing this against the cold landscape outside of the window. There is a distinct homeliness and cosiness to this painting, created by both the subject matter as well as the colour palette.

    The painting is housed in a simple white grey frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Dressing Room

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An interior scene painted in a muted and earthy palette, showing a shadowy interior with a group of figures painted in a modernist style. The artist has used the medium of tempera to paint this picture, which is the technique of painting with pigments bound in a water-soluble emulsion, such as water and egg yolk, or an oil-in-water emulsion such as oil and egg. Tempera dries to a hard, fairly translucent film, which in this case enables us to see the drawing beneath the painting, giving us a rare view of the artist’s workings.

    The painting is very beautifully presented in a pine box frame, and is in good vintage condition. There are some minor surface paint losses to the right side but these do not detract from the overall charm of the picture.

  • Portrait in Blue

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking abstract figure painted in pastel tones in oil. Soft muted hues contrast starkly against the distinct sharp black outlines. The style of this figure is reminiscent of the figurative works by  the well known Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele whose works like this one, were often contorted, abstracted, unapologetic and emotionally charged.

    The painted is housed in a cream coloured wood frame and a white card mount. The frame has some general scuffing, but is in keeping with the general ‘rough and raw’ look of the portrait. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Sanctuary

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoroughly atmospheric landscape scene, depicting a man walking in solitude through a nature trail. He is disconnected from everything else, and is absorbed in the tranquility of his sanctuary.

    The artist has used a range of painterly and expressive brushstrokes, and a cool colour palette.

    The size of the man portrayed pales in comparison to his surrounding; perhaps serving as a reminder of the insignificance of human life against the scale of the universe, and how we should not hold on to our worries too deeply.

    Apart from some light stains on the canvas (as shown in the images), this oil painting is overall in good vintage condition.

    It is housed in a beautiful robust silver-grey wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking oil painting of a wine lodge in Ibiza, painted in 1952.  A neutral palette of  sandy brown, limestone white, blue and grey has been used, accurately capturing the landscape of Ibiza in Spain. The artist has painted in a modernist style, using geometric blocks, bold outlines and distinct brushstrokes to paint this detailed composition. The painting has a beautifully matte texture, which gives this painting a tactility and a raw quality which is typical for mid century modernist paintings. Figures can be seen scattered throughout the composition, adding a narrative element to this interesting picture.

    The painting is housed in a stunning and robust champagne coloured wood frame, with a an inner fabric lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This vibrant picturesque view of a forest lake draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including abstraction, cubism and fauvism.

    As we spend time to study its colours and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye. The artist has thoughtfully used blocks of contrasting rich colours to give rise to the various forms – as we can make out a lush forest being reflected on the clear waters in the lake, with 2 young bare trees growing in the foreground.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A blissful and serene painting executed in oil, depicting a flight of geese soaring across the sky at twilight, above blue oceans and grassland.

    Furthermore, the artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours. Not only has he been able to effortlessly mix and layer colours as they harmonise so well together; but he has also been able to displayed a strong sense of depth in the painting through the use of contrasting shades.

  • L’Homme

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic miniature still life portrait, executed in oil.

    Depicting a middle aged man dressed in a blue coat seated on a chair, the artist has consciously chosen not to represent his facial features. The power of faceless portraits allows one to shift focus to explore more within the frame such as the brushstrokes, colours and composition. In this case, the light and cool colours used as well as the smooth brushstrokes are reflective and well-aligned to the man’s calm and composed nature.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones, that is overall in good condition.

    Various shades are depicted converging towards one another, almost in slow motion as the respective colours flow.

  • Around Town

    Sold

    SOLD.

     A quaint and colourful evening street scene, set in Paris. Several figures roam the city streets, probably on their way to an evening meal.

  • Abstract Harbour

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and typically ‘mid century modern’ oil painting on canvas, painted around the 1960s. Bold, rich colours fill the canvas with lines and patterns, both straight and curved. Although an abstracted picture on the whole, we are just able to discern a harbour scene, with a line of boats docked one next to the other. The masts and sails are what form the majority of this composition – the artist has taken advantage the different shapes and patters formed by the masts and sails to create a painting with a largely modernist ethos, focusing on innovation and experimentation with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction.

    The painting is housed in a gold painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs to the edges which are typical for its age.

  • The Gaze

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming modernist painting in oil of a figure by a table. The artist has used large, flat planes of colour to create this composition. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and focus has instead been paid attention to form, shape and colour. Interestingly, the artist has chosen to paint the tulips in a much more realistic manner, creating a distinct contrast and pop of colour against the rest of the more angular, flat composition.

    A soulful abstract painted in oil onto canvas, featuring rich azure blues and a deep palette. Though largely abstract, we are able to discern elements of the natural landscape. The artist has used distinct and expressive brushstrokes, creating wonderful texture through the medium of oil. The painting has a very emotive effect, due to the colour palette used as well as the dynamism of the strokes. The artist has made a concerted effort to capture the spirit and essence of the landscape, as opposed to its realistic features.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary silvery grey frame with a very unique inner velvet lining in blue which picks up on the palette of the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Down by the Water

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lovely bright riverscape view, painted in oil in 1957. The artist has used distinct, expressive brushstrokes throughout, giving us the sense that this was painted ‘en plein air’ (the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view).

A set of steps can be seen to the right, encouraging us to imagine ourselves having just walked down, taking respite from the hustle and bustle of the busy city above.

  • Monument

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

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

  • Winter Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quaint, peaceful picture of winter trees, painted in oil onto board in 1936.  The palette is subtle – earthy browns, mellow yellows and pastel pinks and blues make up a soft composition. This quiet picture would sit beautifully on a shelf, adding interest to any spot without being too intrusive.

    This oil on board is in good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. The painting is housed in a deep silver frame with an outer green patina,  which picks up on the palette of the painting and illuminates it. The frame has some marks and scuffs as seen in photos.

  • Silhouette

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic semi-abstract modernist oil painted onto canvas. We see here a black silhouette of a figure, set against an abstracted background. The artist has played with shape, form and colour, juxtaposing the rounded curves of the dark figure with the more formal geometric angles of the lighter background. The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.

    This striking painting is in fine vintage condition.  There are some areas of paint loss and craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall.

  • Sailing Blue (very large)

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large, panoramic oil depicting a traditionally-rigged sailing vessel, painted in oil in 1947. This bold, expressive oil features rich colouring and distinct and dynamic brushstrokes. The artist’s confident and skilful painterly manner is certainly apparent, and the combination of the rich palette, dynamic strokes and large size would make this a statement piece in any interior.

    The painting is housed in a wide and robust gilt and green frame that suits it very well. The painting has areas of craquelure and some minor areas of surface paint loss which are visible upon close inspection and are typical for an oil painting of this age (as shown in photos), but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting. The frame is in good condition with some very minor scuffs to the inner window.

    Size: 80 x 95cm (including frame)

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • Golden Haze

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very large and elegant seascape in oil, painted onto canvas. A warm, golden hue blankets this oil painting, imbuing it with a palpably calming, soothing effect. This skilfully executed seascape features a soft colour palette, which when viewed closely reveals a complexity in its colour blending. The artist has captured the light of the evening sun, when the sky boasts pastel hues of pink, orange, yellow and blue. Below this large expansive sky, we see a boat docked by 3 warehouses that echo the colours of the subtle evening light. The large size of the painting accentuates the panoramic effect of the seascape and would make for a wonderful resting point for tired eyes.

    The painting is housed in an equally elegant large gilt frame which illuminates the painting further. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 63 x 93cm (including frame)

  • Skyline Colour

    Sold

    Free UK shipping.

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

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

    Size: 68 x 95cm (including frame)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly textured floral painting in oil featuring a warm, earthy palette. It depicts a tall vintage vase with purple tulips and other lilac and white flowers standing on a window sill. The artist has chosen to use a painterly, modernist style to compose this image – using thick, distinct layers of paint and expressive brushstrokes. The painting has several areas of impasto (areas where the paint has been applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) which give this painting a wonderful tactility.

    The painting is set within a decorative wood frame that has been painted and distressed in white, adding a uniqueness to the painting. The frame and painting have been fixed onto board, which can be seen on the reverse (refer to photos). Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Snow Day

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderful little narrative painting depicting a group of people having fun in the snow. The artist has used a mainly pastel colour palette for the majority of the picture, but has included a pop of red and green that invite us in to enjoy the picture. A group of 3 figures building what appears to be a snowman form the centre of the composition. Framing them are houses to the eft and right, and several other figures and trees. The artist has used soft but sweeping brushstrokes to create this expressive narrative painting which adds texture to this lovely painting.

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

  • Solitude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm, quiet and serene landscape painted in oil, dated 1960. It is early morning on a frosty morning, and rays of warmth have only just started to make their first appearance in the sky.  Three tall trees form the focus of the composition, drawing first attention. Traces of frost that have not yet been melted by the sun remain on the ground, but probably not for long. Forming a large proportion of this picture is the sky, where colours of blue, white and orange have been blended skilfully to capture the beginnings of morning light. We know this view that the artist has captured is only fleeting, as it won’t be long before the rising sun changes the light and landscape altogether.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous greyish-green frame and a fabric lined inner border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Frost

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large oil on board depicting a modernist take on a winter landscape, painted in 1946. Small and distinct blocks of paint have been applied in a restrained colour palette, creating this semi abstract composition. The artist has successfully and skilfully captured the ‘feel’ of the expansive wintery landscape – there is a palpable sense of the cold, crisp air and the stillness and quiet of the landscape that has been covered in snow.

    This large painting is housed in a distressed off while and grey frame which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • A Memory

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This distinctly mid century abstract composition features a childlike play of form and lines that appear to be entirely un-representational of reality, and are therefore perhaps are a nod to the subconscious or nonconscious mind. Abstract pictures like these remind us of freedom, imagination and creativity. The artist has chosen not to be bound by the limits of reality, and has instead turned to ‘automatism’, which in art speak refers to creating art without conscious thought, accessing material from the unconscious mind as part of the creative process. This painting is reminiscent of the works by Joan Miro, who was also an artist who delved into ‘automatism’ in his works.

    The wonderful thing about paintings like these is that we can have wholly subjective views on what we see. For instance, this painting could remind us of planets, comets and stars dotted across the universe, and yet on the other hand perhaps we could instead be reminded of more earth bound materials such as fossils and rock striations.

A combination of a pastel palette, a focus on form, and a matte surface texture in thin layers of oil emphasise a focus on materials, techniques and processes.

  • Quartet

    Sold

    SOLD.

This painting is full of details for us to pick out and notice – a picture that opens up to us slowly and steadily and continues to offer something new each time we decide to look.

    Double Sided Portrait II

    £165

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An intriguing double sided oil on board:  one side depicts a striking single portrait of a woman, and the other side depicts a pair of women looking into a book.

    Painted onto board, both paintings are in very good vintage condition and can be displayed on either side.

A further portrait painting and a circular object hang on the wall next to it. To the left, a curtain seems to lead into a corridor or separate room, adding an element of mystery to the painting. There is a nice balance to the composition, with each object depicted seeming to own its space. The palette that the artist used is fairly restrained, with similar colours repeated throughout the composition.

    The painting is housed in a white and silver frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and a small age mark to the left edge, but overall it is in good condition.

  • A Snowy Day

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An enchanting mid 20th century snowscape executed in oil.

  • Pointillist Path

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This calm and mellow landscape in oil is reminiscent of the pointillist works by George Seurat, where distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. Although not strictly pointillist, this painting certainly has elements of the technique. Short and distinct strokes that have been created with just the tip of the paint brush have been used to form this composition. However, there is an added complexity – each individual stroke, though small and short, has various colours mixed and blended within the one stroke. Each stroke of paint has been applied thickly, adding a wonderful textural effect and sculptural quality to the painting. The artist has also managed to convey a distinct sense of light and dark within the picture, capturing the shadows of the winter sun within the layered composition.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful distressed brown-beige wood frame with a deep profile and an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Beach Blue

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This stunning abstract in oil is an excellent example of how simplicity can be beautiful. Splitting the composition horizontally into three separate sections (four if you look closely), the artist has captured the serene panoramic landscape of the ocean and sky. Perhaps you see something entirely different, but that is the beauty of the abstract. Regardless of whether you draw a connection to landscape or seascape or anything else for that matter, it is the qualities of colour here that is of importance. The lower section of cobalt blue draws our eyes in immediately, soaking us up in its richness. As we move our eyes upwards, strokes of darker greys and blacks guide us up into the lighter section of the painting, where sweeping strokes of soft pastel blues and greys carry us and our minds away into somewhere clear and calm.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous light grey frame that has a inner gilt and linen border that really makes the illuminates the painting.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and nicks to the outermost edges upon close inspection, but they are quite minor and certainly do not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

  • Autumn Hare

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really unique semi-abstract oil painting of a hare in an autumnal landscape. One could be forgiven for missing the hare on first glance, as it almost blends into the grassy landscape. The artist has managed to convey the reality of catching a fleeting sight of a hare leaping through the grassy meadow – one blink and you’ll miss the little creature. Expressive brushstrokes in earthy colours of orange, rusty browns and reds, and greys and greens form the majority of the picture, with the stunningly painted hare starkly in the middle – its white ears and tail stand out from the background, drawing our attention lest we miss it.

On either side of the vase sit an orange and a bunch grapes.

The textural effect of the pastel medium gives this painting wonderful depth and three dimensionality.

    The pastel is housed in a fantastic deep gilt and red frame. The pastel is protected behind thick glass. Pastels never crack, yellow or darken over time and when protected behind glass, its vibrancy and richness lasts for centuries.

  • Cubist Kitchen

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic modernist still life rendered in oil in a cubist manner. Painted in 1962, the artist has used a vibrant palette and created areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) to create this striking composition.

    The painting is housed a a very complementary wood frame with a painted white order. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • White Lake

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic panoramic landscape painted in oil onto board, featuring a soft colour palette of mostly cool tones including blues, greens and yellows. There is a wonderful sense of depth and detail that has been achieved through the artist’s use of different paint application methods. In some areas the paint has been applied with a palette knife, while  in other areas a brush has been used, with short and long strokes moving in different directions. This has resulted in a myriad of different textures and consistencies within the picture, creating a very visually stimulating painting.

    The painting is housed in a simple white frame which gives it a contemporary feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a very minor scuff to the bottom right hand side but this certainly does not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

  • Moored

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking expressionist oil of a moored boat. Thick, bold, and unrefined brushstrokes imbue this painting with palpable energy and dynamism, and we are able to feel the artist’s spontaneity and energy coming through the canvas. It is quite likely that this artwork has been painted en plein air (where the artist works outdoors and has to therefore capture the landscape quickly). Areas of the canvas surface can be seen, and it is precisely this roughness and rawness that gives this painting its character.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

    The oil on board is in excellent condition. There are two small nicks to the frame (the top left and the far bottom right corner) but this is typical for an original frame of this age, and does not detract from the beauty of the piece.

  • Surreal

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This striking oil painting in a typically mid century cubist style and colour palette is reminiscent of the modernist works by artists such as Picasso and Braque. Here a series of objects atop a table have been depicted from multiple view points, resulting in a fragmented and abstracted composition. The artist has broken the objects down into distinct planes and shapes, emphasizing the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth, while at the same time suggesting their three dimensional forms.

  • A New Day

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subtle and calming panoramic view of a mountainous landscape scene. Soft brushstrokes in a mix of watercolour and gouache  imbue this painting with texture and a sense of three dimensionality. The areas painted in the more opaque medium of gouache draw the eye through the layers of contrasting tones created by the artist. The painting is a wonderful reminder of the calming and restoring effect of nature and its surroundings.

    The painting is housed in a washline off white card mount and a light wood frame, and is glazed, i.e. there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the artwork. There is some age toning to the card mount, typical for a picture of this age (1979). The frame and gouache are in good vintage condition.

  • Ikebana III

    Sold

    A delicate watercolour of a japanese ikebana arrangement. More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together.

    This sweet still life of blue and yellow asters in vase is full of texture and character.

  • Golden Hour

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautifully gentle woodland landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas. Tall slender trees in contrasting shades of dark green and amber make up the main composition, yet the artist has made sure not to overcrowd the picture. A soft light falls washes over the painting, creating a warmth that seems to emanate from it. The spaces between the slender trees allow us to see both into the distance, as well as down to the forest floor, where the artist has used an array of colours in a cooler palette to convey a sense of depth. Working in short, soft brushstrokes, the artist has created both areas of flatter well blended colour as well as areas of textured impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud from the surface).

    The painting is housed in a light cream and grey wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Black & Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A deep and soulful abstract composition rendered in oil. Swathes of colour in varying forms tease our imagination – do we see something recognisable? Angled forms peek out in different directions, reminiscent of the silhouette of an almost undiscernible city skyline at night time. For others perhaps the composition is a reminder of jazz music – with its careful balance of spirit, freedom and form.

    This oil on board is housed in a silver frame, and both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Afternoon Rest

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic mid century oil on canvas depicting seated farmers. Here the artist has used colour and form to its full extent – traditional perspective has replaced with swathes of contrasting colour to create depth and three dimensionality within the picture. Dark, bold outlines and vibrant saturated colour painted on with visible and distinct brushstrokes form this particularly modernist picture that carries elements of cubism.

    The painting is housed in its original deep profile wood and gilt frame with a linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • A Quiet Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and very textured street scene painted in oil, depicting a group of houses in a village. The colour palette used parallels the natural world, with a mix of neutral tones such as white, earthy orange, and variegated greens. It is a highly textured work, with several areas of distinct impasto (where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) creating a three dimensional effect.

    The painting is currently unframed, and is painted onto sturdy board. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. It is in very good vintage condition. There is some surface paint loss to the outermost edges but this does not detract from the main image.

The painting is awash with details, teasing us in and encouraging us to let out eyes explore all parts of the picture, and inviting us in to take part.

  • After the Rain

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This fantastic oil depicts a deep and moody street scene in Stockholm. The rain has cleared but the brooding skies suggest that there is perhaps more to come. 3 figures walk down the empty road, past the colourful townhouses.

    The brushstrokes and colour palette capture the melancholy poignantly in this 1950s painting.  Multi directional strokes in a blended palette create an intensity and depth that conveys the mood of the picture.

    The painting is housed in a wood frame with gilt highlights. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some areas of restoration (as seen in the photos) but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Railway Crossing

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Confident, expressionist brushstrokes in saturated colours and bold outlines depict this pensive picture of two figures standing at a railway crossing. We witness here an artist seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, mustard and white, while skilfully combining these extremes without losing harmony within the picture. Within this almost ‘dirty’ palette, the artist and his energy comes through wonderfully.

    The painting is housed in a distressed silver-grey wood frame with a deep profile, complementing the painting perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor areas of paint loss around the edges (as shown in photos) but because it is of a ‘distressed’ style these imperfections certainly do not harm the overall look of the framed picture.

  • Nude Model

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic life drawing in oil, painted on canvas which has then been laid down to board. The artist has managed to capture the complexity of the human body, while keeping to the impressionist style. The curves, lines, and subtle undulations of the female model, as well as her weight, balance and tension have been conveyed through the use of brush and colour.

    This well balanced, vertical composition has been framed beautifully in a silver wood frame. There is some very light craquelure to the figure’s upper torso, but the paint layer is very stable overall. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Drying the Nets

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully painted everyday scene of a lively fishing village in Skane, Sweden, painted in 1946.

    It is a cloudy day, and a group of fishermen have just returned from sea. As they are assessing their catch of the day, washing their fishing nets, and hanging it out to dry, a woman and and her child curiously come by to see what they’ve caught.

    Painted in rich pastel tones of purple, blue and pink, the colours are vibrant and welcoming, and harmonise well together. The expressionistic and forceful brushstrokes that have been executed confidently imbue the painting with much vigour and liveliness.

    Painted in oil on to board, it is housed in an ornate gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some staining to the bottom right edge, as shown in images.

  • Picnic in the Park

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A very pleasant mid 20th century oil on canvas presenting a magnificent panoramic view of a park and the city.

    The sky is blue, and the air is crisp; as 2 friends are enjoying their picnic in the park whilst admiring the stunning view that overlooks the city.

    The artist has used a vibrant colour palette, especially multiple shades of green, that imbues the work with so much life and vitality. The brushstrokes used are short and broad, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the composition is highly well-balanced – with the area of lush greenery and blue sky having equal visual weight.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

    The work housed in a robust sage green frame that complements the artwork very well. There are some marks on the frame; and as it is its original frame, its joints are slightly delicate, but nevertheless, holds the painting well.

  • The Way Home

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A sweet painting depicting two figures on a village lane, painted in oil onto board. A very pleasant array of pastel tones has been used to create this scene, and a pink-ish purple hue seems to wash over the painting. Long and wide painterly brushstrokes draw our eyes in towards the painting and onwards to the landscape beyond. Two figures appear to be having a conversation on a country lane, perhaps saying their hellos or goodbyes, we do not know.  There is a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality with this painting, created by a combination of factors including the dreamy colour palette as well as the way in which the figures have been painted. Modernist techniques of creating space within the picture can be seen, such as the use of contrasting planes of colour rather than traditional methods of perspective.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Trees

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A very large, striking modernist Swedish artwork painted in oil onto canvas. A minimalist composition of trees on either side of a path forms this picture, painted in a very restrained palette. This piece is perhaps a preparatory study for a final painting – there is a distinct rawness to the almost monochrome palette, where paint has been applied very thinly to the canvas.  Yet there remains a palpable beauty to this rawness – the distinct outlines and simplicity of the paint application allow us to focus our attention on the balance of the shapes and forms, including the way the branches of the trees weave in and out of each other, creating structure and pattern within the picture.

    This original oil is housed in a beautiful distressed greenish-grey frame, which has a rough and unrefined look to it which we think suits the painting very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame is in a ‘distressed’ style and so has imperfections that are intentional. The frame is slightly big for the canvas and so there is a slight gap between the canvas and the frame but this gap is very minimal.

  • Siblings

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic 1960s Swedish painting of 3 children, painted in an expressionist style. Layers of paint applied with a palette knife in a quick brisk manner create significant texture. A fairly muted palette of earthy colours have been used, but hints of bright greens, blues and yellow bring forth a three dimensionality to the painting. The composition is in itself unique – 2 children have their heads towards a third child in the forefront, whose side profile can be seen, and all 3 are set within an abstracted background.

    The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a green border and a linen slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs commensurate with its age.

  • Evening Stroll

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A thoroughly atmospheric evening landscape scene, with people on their daily amble. Evening light has begun to set in, as the last of the daylight slowly seeps away.  For so many of us, walks out in the fresh air were what got us through this difficult lockdown period. This painting perfectly captures that slightly mellow yet comfortable feeling of being alone with oneself, with not much else to do.

    The painting is housed is in a robust gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small crack to the top inner corner (as shown in the photos), but is otherwise in good vintage condition.

  • Purple Abstraction

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually striking abstract composition exploring form, shape, line and colour, rendered in oil. Painted on a sheet on canvas, it has been affixed to a purple backing card, providing a unique setting and accentuating the colours within the painting.  It is housed in very complementary light wood frame.

    Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing. The painting is glazed, i.e. there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the artwork.

  • Moonlit Night

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A night scene of a figure walking through a courtyard, painted in rich saturated colour. In the centre of the painting we see a brightly lit street lamp, which seems to illuminate the rest of the picture. The street and houses, painted in contrasting colour, are set against the blue night sky. The lone walking figure sets the mood of the painting beautifully.

    The painting reminds me of this poem by the poet Shalom Freedman:

    I am a quiet old man walking on a quiet night
    All is calm
    Light in my soul
    And outside
    The breeze fresh and cool
    Soothes my mind-

    I am a quiet man
    who has had much good in his life
    Walking home
    On a calm night
    When all is quiet
    And Peace in my soul

    The painting is housed in a dark grey frame with a linen slip. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Winter Wood

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning winter landscape painted in subtle and mellow tones of brown, grey, and white, punctuated by two figures in the foreground. A simple yet captivating composition, made possible by the almost monochrome colour palette.

    The figure on the left carries a pile of log in his arms, presumably retrieved from the shed he is walking out of, and a second figure next to him with her backs to us is about to do the same. They brave the stark, bitter cold (aptly conveyed by the colour palette that the artist has used) but we know they are soon to return home to a warm fire.

    The panting is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner silver window that illuminates the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is large and heavy, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    An endearing portrait of a mother and child, in an interior setting.

    This artwork captures a tender moment of a mother lovingly looking after her baby, who is placed on her lap.

    The selection of earthy colours imbues the work with a sense of warmth and a calming aesthetic, that further enhances the emotions in this scene.

    The artist has selected brown as the main colour of choice for this well-decorated home setting – whereby the floor, table, chair, and cupboards are of the same colour. Despite this restrained palette, by skilfully contrasting and layering a range of shades, as well as utilising diverse brushstrokes, the artist has managed to bring out the different forms beautifully in this picture.

    Just look at the way the fine close-grain pattern on the hardwood of the cupboards have been rendered with soft and precise brushstrokes – simply stunning!

    The artwork is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a beautiful gilt frame with greyish-green and linen linings, as well as ornate mouldings. There are visible hairline cracks on the ornate mouldings (as shown in the images). This is a common occurrence for a frame of this age, but all parts are well in place.

  • Figur

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A fantastic semi abstract oil depicting a figure within an abstracted background, painted in a cool palette of blue, white and yellow. The artist has intentionally focussed on the play of colour, choosing to leave out any realistic details or sense of perspective or context. A figure sits in the centre of the picture, and although distinct, he seems to almost be on the verge of merging into the curtain of colour behind him. This painting has a wonderful sense of playfulness and mystery about it.

    The painting is housed in a light champagne frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed modernist style painting of an abstracted interior setting, dated 1951.

    We are able to make out patio doors, a coat hanger with several coats hanging, and an assortment of objects placed on the ground. The artist has intentionally painted the objects in a very abstracted manner, focusing instead on shapes, forms, colours and outlines more than any realistic details.

    Broad and swift brushstrokes have been applied in a multi-directional and confident manner. The artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together to create a textured effect.

    The oil on canvas is housed in a gorgeous distressed frame wood, showing off its wood grain beautifully.

    Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Garden Party

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderful and delightful scene of a garden party.

    Two ladies are sat on a bench, chatting away and drinking tea from a table with a beautiful floral arrangement, as they watch their 2 young daughters play nearby. The artist has composed the scene in an impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

    Short and swift brushstrokes have been used to capture the dappled sunlight shining through the trees and the open field on this warm summer’s day; and the overall composition has calm qualities and distinct elegance to it.

    Th oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is is housed in a thin gilt frame, that has minor areas of paint loss.

  • Friends

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed oil on canvas depicting 3 good friends having a conversation in the outdoors on a winter’s day.

    What’s most striking is the use of the impasto technique – where the artist has confidently applied thick layers of paint on the canvas, giving it an outstanding three-dimensional appearance.

    Although a restrained colour palette with a predominance of blue, green, and orange can be seen, the way that the artist has skilfully layered and blended the colours together so harmoniously is simply stunning.

    Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal, whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary rattan-lined wood frame with an inner silver window. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • The Fishing Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding modernist style painting depicting a fishing village, dated 1955.

    In the background, rows of huts line the ocean front. In the foreground, fishing nets are placed over a wooden support, hanging up to dry by the sand.

    Muted tones of moss green, burnt sienna and blue-grey make up the palette, giving it a really lovely earthy feel, and a typical mid century vibe. The artist has skilfully managed to capture the malleable and translucent nature of the nets, but has retained a modernist ethos through the use of faceted brushstrokes and the flattening of space.

    The painting is housed in a stunning olive green frame with visible wood grain and a gilt lining. The colour of the frame complements and enhances the green in the painting.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Through the Terrain

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A soft and lovely work of art rendered in oil, dated 1954.

    A group of men are depicted carrying bags of sand on their head, as they transport the goods from one end of a terrain to the next.

    The artist has executed the work with gentle brushstrokes; and the selection of the neutral earthy colour palette consisting of green, purple blue and clay imbues the work with a subdued feel of lightness.

    The painting is in good condition overall. There are tiny pin holes and losses to the edges on both sides of the painting (as depicted in the images), but in our opinion this does not detract from the work.

    It is housed in a very complementary grainy wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Exhale

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This zen winter landscape rendered in a muted palette in oil is both simple and striking.  A snow covered field stretches into the distance, its horizon lined by a row of hazy trees. Mounds of seemingly barren land peak through the thin layer of snow. But barren it is not, merely taking its chance to rest through winter before the busier season of crops begin again. Its ploughed lines extend forward into the distance – here is the earth taking a long, much needed exhalation. A reminder that we all need to take a moment or two to rest, relax and breathe from time to time.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary silver wood frame with hits of red showing through.  Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Al Fresco

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delightful  oil painting depicting figures dining al fresco on a bright summer’s day with blue skies. Colourful blooms and brightly coloured parasols are featured in this vibrant and cheery picture. The background of buildings and greenery has also not been spared from colour, laying out an array of details for our visual pleasure. The thick and chalky paint texture creates a matte finish that adds a brightening effect,  inviting us in to take a seat, and perhaps order a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

    Housed in a robust greyish-purple frame with a linen lined wooden slip, the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. There is a nick to the top left edge of the frame which is not visible  from the front.

  • The Canal

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vibrant and energetic impressionist oil painting presenting a river canal flowing through lush greenery a summer’s day.

    The swift and expressive brushstrokes convey a painterly illusion of movement from the water currents and swaying trees in the wind; and the impressionistic style and layered brushstrokes create great texture and depth in this work.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with patterned moulding and a linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to frame edges and an abrasion to the bottom edge of the frame (as shown in photo).

  • Vision

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A sombre panoramic landscape presenting vast open lands of shrubs, with mountains fading into the distance.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette comprising mostly of various shades of blue, with some hints of green in the foreground.

    The brushstrokes, though soft and subtle, are thoughtful and precise, imbuing  the work with an overall sense of nostalgia and mystery.

    It is worth mentioned that the edges of the work remain visible, exposing the substrate beneath it. This vignette effect further draws our attention to and emphasises the subject matter.

    This oil on panel is housed in a complementary silver frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Boat Boy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and elegant oil painting of a young boy with his toy sailboat. Painted in broad and expressive brushstrokes, we can only just discern the main elements of the background which have been split into 3 main sections. The painting has a distinct feel of nostalgia; the way the background has been blurred out is similar to our memories of particular events. Here the moment in focus is of the boy playing with his boat – happy memories of days of youth. There is a wonderful sense of balance and harmony in this picture, the warm yellow and brown tones of the boat and the boys clothes are echoed in the sections of the background, and again in the frame of the picture.

    The artwork is housed in an elegant dark wood frame with a inner gilded border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A relaxing seascape, rendered in oil that radiates calm and serenity. This work of art that has hints of abstract qualities captures a seamless transition of the sand, sea and sky so beautifully; and one can almost hear the soft ocean waves and gentle wind blowing.

    Soft and sweeping brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of tranquility; and the way the selection of light pastel colours of yellow, blue and purple interact with one another is simply outstanding.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame that has some marks and areas of paint loss (as shown in photos).

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The objects are placed on a vibrant blue surface, and are set against a beautifully painted backdrop that picks up the colours of the flowers and the ornaments around it.

    Areas of thick impasto and the blending of contrasting colour imbue this painting with a distinct tactility and earthiness.

    This oil on panel is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a robust wooden frame that has a unique light silver coating at the front. The frame has some marks and discolouration commensurate for its age, but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

    A homely oil painting depicting a pot of flowers and stack of books on a table by a window, painted in 1937. This textured painting has several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface.

  • Chalk & Blue

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully textured coastal oil painting. The artist has used a palette knife to apply the paint, creating areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface). The artist has worked the paint dynamically, using quick and successive strokes to create this expressive and tactile piece. A soothing palette of blues, greens, whites, with orange and yellow details, imbues this painting with a thoroughly calming effect, and makes one think of lake holidays in the summertime.

  • Red House

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This striking modernist oil painting features bold earthy colours and confident, painterly brushwork. There is an expressiveness in the way in which the artist has painted the landscape –  reflecting the ruggedness of the landscape and the old red houses.  Flat planes of contrasting colour create a sense of depth, and areas of the substrate have been left uncoloured – a reminder of the distinctly modernist ethos that a painting, before it is a landscape of houses and mountains, is first and foremost a set of colours and forms arranged in a certain order on a flat surface.

    The painting is housed in a typically mid century wood frame, with a lined lined border and a gilded inner window. It has some scattered areas of paint loss, as well as at the top corners of the board, but due to the style of the work the paint losses are not remarkable. The painting is otherwise in good vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

  • Halcyon Garden

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A gorgeous impressionist oil painting depicting a lady in a hat seated out in a garden, reminiscent of the style of the French painter Auguste Renoir. This artwork has a sense of the romantic, and in its colour palette and brush work there is a soft-focus evocation of a halcyon day. The artist has used the same comma-like brushwork pattern for both sitter and background, creating a rather romantic effect where the dappled sunlight on the leaves of the trees has cast a similar light on the sitter’s body and chair, so she beautifully blends into her surroundings.

    It is housed in a very unique frame. Within the outer gilt frame there is a grey slip which has speckles of coloured paint lightly applied to it. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Misty Window

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple composition with a strikingly modernist ethos. Here the landscape has been reduced down to basic colour and paint markings. The artist is clearly not trying to mimic real life, and has chosen instead draw attention to the fact that this is his own rendition of the elements of the landscape. There is a distinct rawness to the painting – the artist has not hidden the strokes of the paint brush, or the background of the substrate he is working on, nor has he masked the way in which he has rendered the rocks and trees with his cross hatching technique.

    This fantastic painting is housed in a gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

    The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a farm situated in the the middle of a vast snow-covered landscape.

    The air is cold and still, trees are barren, and there is not a soul in sight.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A cool palette of purples, greens and yellows render this semi abstract painting in oil.

    There is a concerted focus on the effects of the natural light on the water, trees, and sky in this painting.

There is an overriding sense that here is a painting that is to be experienced, and not just looked at.

    The artwork is housed in a deep light brown painted wood frame. Painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor marks and discolouration commensurate for its age, but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

    A picturesque and panoramic view of a rural landscape, complete with cows, mountains and a lake.  A patchwork of green and golden fields rolls towards the pink and blue mountain.

    £285

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning impressionist style painting that captures a fleeting moment during sunset at a harbour.

    As the sun begins to set, its glistening rays have cast a faint glow on the ships and houses at are lined up by the harbour, and the blaze of pink and orange in the sky are slowly fading.

    The artist has used short and spontaneous brushstrokes to capture the sunset reflections cast on the river.

    The painting is housed in a painted wood frame with inner gilt detail. Painting and frame are in good vintage condition, with some minor scuffs to the edges of the frame.

  • Harbour Promenade

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very finely executed oil of a waterfront promenade in Stockholm. Painted in an impressionist manner, the artist has used a wonderful palette of cool blues and yellows to render this seascape. In the forefront a figure seats reading the paper – a simple, sensitive detail that sets the entire mood of the painting. An air of calm and tranquillity pervades this painting, created by a combination of the gentle brushwork, the colour palette, as well as the subject matter.

    The painting is housed in an light grey wood frame with a tint of gold, and an off white inner wood slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • By the Window

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A well-executed and detailed oil on canvas of a vase of beautiful red flowers placed by a window pane.

    The artist gives us a glimpse of the cold winter’s day outside, as we see a snow-filled ground through the clear glass window.

    Very soft and painterly brushstrokes have been used to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work; yet the artist has skilfully managed to evoke a strong sense of three-dimensionality – from the drapes of the curtains, to the roundness of the vase, and curves of the leaves that have all been splendidly painted.

    This artwork is housed in a thin cherry wood frame that complements the piece really well.

    There is a straight vertical tear the right side of the painting (refer to photos) that has been closed with tape on the reverse (refer to photo). Otherwise the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Boats on the Redden

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Painted in 1959, this seascape in oil has a typically mid century modern feel. Geometric shapes rendered in warm tones of red, blue, and grey form this compositionally balanced nautical seascape. Bold brushwork and palette make up the foreground of the piece, with the paint getting thinner and cooler in tone as it recedes into the background, even allowing the substrate to show through in areas. There is a real tactile quality to this almost abstract painting.

  • The Climb

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An absolutely stunning oil depicting two figures walking through vast landscape. Scale here has been stretched to its utmost, with the human figures so small it is easy to miss them. The vast landscape is what fills most of this painting, reminding us humans of our position in the universe. We are but a speck. We feel a calming sense of awe when looking at this piece – its focus on nature emphasises its separateness and indifference to our humanly desires and concerns.

    This mid century painting is appropriately housed in a wide off white wood frame with gilt detailing. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame is very stable and in good condition overall but has some minor bumps (refer to photos), but these do not detract from the painting.

  • Jug & Apples

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and striking still life that displays confidence in both colour and brushstrokes.

    A white jug is placed amongst apples on a table top, and is set against an eye-catching background painted in a mix of blues including turquoise and cerulean blue. The overall colours used in this painting are very uplifting, and can brighten one’s home and mood.

    Executed in oil pastel, and the artist has embraced various techniques of mixing, smudging and blending the colours with speed and vigour.

    This artwork in particular is reminiscent of still life scenes of fruits from Paul Cezanne.

    There is a fold that runs through the middle of this artwork on paper (as shown), which although visible, adds an ‘expressiveness’ to the work which is in line with the almost naïve style that the artist has used.

    It is housed in a white card mount and a unique blue and pewter frame; and comes glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the artwork).

    Size: 41 x 50 cm (including frame)

  • Equinox

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A bold and beautiful 20th century modernist abstract painting, that has been executed confidently with swift and intentional brushstrokes.

    The work possesses geometric qualities and is well decorated with a myriad of lines and shapes.

    Bright and vibrant primary and secondary colours of red, yellow, blue, and orange dominate the work; and the contrasting thin black lines that go across horizontally and vertically add a strong personality to the overall piece.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    An elegant and gentle still life painted in watercolour.

    A teapot, a pitcher, a plate of fruits, and a garlic glove are laid on a table setting against a corner of a wall.

    Off to School

    £225

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely and endearing miniature oil on canvas depicting a scene of a pedestrian walkway on a fine summer’s day.

    A woman in the foreground can be seen walking with her 2 children to drop them off at school. They are holding flowers in their hands, that they’ve picked along their journey.

    Rich and saturated colours fill this energetic painting; and the short and textured brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of liveliness and joy.

    What’s special too is that the artist has uniquely enhanced the greenery portion by adding graphite detailing in a ‘scribbled’ manner, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the trees.

    The painting is housed in a white card mount, and a green stained wood frame with a blue and gold inner wood border. The colours of the frame pick up on the colours within the painting beautifully, making it stand out even more.

  • Perk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and lighthearted still life portrayal of florals placed in a blue slender vase and brown pitcher respectively.

    The flowers – painted in soft yellow hues – have great angular edges and are looking cheery. The artist has chosen not to portray the full representation of the vases, adding  an element of mystery to the overall work.

    The objects are placed against a lightly textured background comprising of multiple shades of brown that have been painted with bold brushstrokes; and the earthy colour palette of this work would suit a wide array of interior settings.

    This work is well-presented in a slightly distressed off white wood frame, giving it a rustic feel.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A tranquil landscape scene of a lakeside, painted in 1955.

    A figure has walked through the woods and is taking a moment to sit down by the edge of a lake. In front of him stretches an open lake – a peaceful, serene open view where he can be alone with his thoughts.

  • The Beach

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A gorgeous coastal scape featuring 2 boats left ashore, amidst luscious plants by a secluded beach.

    The artist has used a light and muted colour palette; and what is most striking is the visible and energetic brushstrokes that have been executed with so much confidence and certainty in directional flow to give rise to the various forms.

  • Grandmother

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An endearing mid 20th century painting of an intimate and well-decorated home setting.

    An elderly lady sits on a small bench preparing food, as she waits for the pot to heat up in the large fire stove beside her.

    The plethora of colours used in this work is remarkable, as well as the intricate detailing of the objects lying around which include the flower pots by the window still, the white pitcher beyond the open door, as well as the pots and pans, and a colourful rug on the floor. The door that is ajar adds a sense of openness to this painting – we feel welcomed into the space, without feeling trapped or enclosed.

    It comes with a unique dark wood frame with evenly spaced divots, outlining the painting beautifully.

    The canvas appears to have been previously removed from a backing or stretchers and re-laid on to board, fixed down with staples. Puncture marks from the previous framing method are visible around the outer edges of the canvas, as shown. The painting itself is in excellent condition with no paint loss, and so is the frame that it is housed in.

  • Effervescence

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An effervescent and diaphanous oil depicting white flowers in a clay pot.

    Areas of thick impasto create areas of texture and three dimensionality. In this very ‘open’ composition, there are no distinct forms – we cannot make out any specific detailing of the flowers and leaves. Freely brushed colours are used instead of lines and contours, portraying the overall visual effect of the floral arrangement, rather than realistic details. As our eyes move around the picture, we can also notice the fabric of the canvas showing through along the bottom section of the painting, adding to the general ethos of this as a painting rather than a realistic depiction of flowers.

  • Coastline

    Sold

    SOLD

    An energetic oil on board depicting a scene of a coastline. What’s most captivating is the painterly brushstrokes, that have been executed with much gusto and confidence.

    Although the painting has a structured feel, the visible and expressive brushstrokes that have been painted in a horizontal, vertical and diagonal manner  balance the overall work, and imbue it with a sense of movement.

  • The Muse

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really unique semi-abstract painting in oil of a muse posing for an artist. In this piece emphasis has been placed on lines and forms as opposed to realistic details. For example, a triangular plane of saturated yellow has been used to represent the light streaming from the lamp shade above the head of the artist. But this plane of yellow is also what creates perspective and depth in this picture, establishing the space between the artist and the muse. Rich colours of green, yellow and gold give this painting a resplendence, emphasised further by the gilt frame surrounding the painting.

    Both painting and gilt frame are in excellent condition.

    Roosters

    £259

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A truly striking and vibrant scene of a pair of roosters set within an expressive landscape dotted with trees and other animals. This painting has an exceptional three dimensional quality to it, with very thickly applied brightly coloured oils on the canvas. The artist has caked on the paint and has then shaped it, not using a brush, but with a palette and fingers.  Here the artist has used the paint not simply to depict part of the picture, but to be part of the picture. These techniques are reminiscent of modernist artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, whose use of paint was often pronounced and dramatic, as is the case with this painting.

    The scene taking place has much to offer, with other animals appearing in unexpected places. Every aspect of this picture has been given a life of its own – the swirls of the trees, the dynamic strokes of the sky, the comma like stabs of the grass. Wonderful contrasts of colour and different forms of paint applications lend a sense of depth, and create such an array of interesting features to notice.

    This oil on stretched canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is unframed but can be hung as is.

  • Blue Waters

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really gorgeous seascape featuring cerulean blue waters flanked by a pink cliff face. Several boats of different kinds sit on the water, forming a very visually pleasing composition and creating a sense of depth within the picture. A pastel and more mellow palette has been used for the boats, pier and cliff face, therefore drawing our initial attention and focus to the striking blue of the water. As we then allow our eyes  to survey the rest of the picture, details on the boats and surrounding seascape then begin to reveal themselves.

    The oil painting, (dated 1942) is housed in its original gilt and black frame, with an inner linen-lined slip. Both frame and paintings are in very good vintage condition.

    Painted in 1973, this quintessentially modernist painting depicts three female figures seated by the sea. The figures are almost sculptural in form, their soft curves enhanced by the contrasting hard edges of the ledge they sit on and the  horizon beyond.

    The painted surface has scattered areas of small losses, and there is general surface wear and marks to the panel edges. The artwork is painted in oil, and the board upon which it is painted has been set within a thick wooden panel which can be hung on its own as is.

    An outstanding and delicate gouache on paper, painted in 1940.

    A young man is depicted standing on a bridge looking out to the calming view in front of him. He is back facing the viewer, and is caught up in his own world, watching the ships in the blue river sail past, with skyscrapers dominating the background.

  • Scarlet Trees

    Sold

    A row of bold scarlet red trees take centre stage – their fiery foliage attempt to obscure the landscape, but through their trunks we are given a glimpse of what is beyond. Colourful cottages dot the landscape, backed by green rich hills.

    This painting may not be large in size, but it certainly does not lack intensity and punch.

    The grey-green frame with hints of gold outlines the painting wonderfully – its evenly spaced divots draw our eyes in towards the picture.

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A thoroughly well-executed mid 20th century painting dated 1954. The artwork depicts two elderly women sitting beside each other on a bench. There is an air of nostalgia, and they appear to be deep in conversation, reminiscing about their life experiences.

    The artist has used a lovely neutral palette of grey, beige, green and blue that harmonises very well together. The use of very short and soft brushstrokes pair excellently with the subdued tones.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Counter

    Sold

    SOLD

    We have here a really unique piece that has been painted in oil on both front and back, both still lifes equally stunning.  The artist has applied the vibrant tones in an expressive and dynamic manner, accentuating the patterning to the wall and table cloth. This heightens the texture and form of the composition giving the painting an impressionistic and nostalgic feel. There is an additional study on the reverse, showing a breakfast spread complete with butter, rolled napkin and open book.

    This vintage painting has accrued patina and areas of losses and scuffing (as seen in the photos)  from its journey thus far, but we think it really adds character to the painting(s).

    The painting is unframed and is on board, and can be displayed without a frame (allowing you to be flexible about which side you choose to display), but should you wish assistance with framing we are always happy to help. You can drop us a message here or email us at info@discerningpalette.com

    A large and expressive modernist still life painting signed by Swedish artist A Nilsson.

    The work is well executed with short and swift brushstrokes, and painted with great confidence.

    Sailboats are docked in this lake, and stretches of ice forming on the surface can be seen. In the background, trees with bare branches are lined by rows of houses, and the cold sky is painted in a beautiful misty blue.

  • Scanian Landscape

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A delightful and energetic Scanian landscape painting, dated 1971.

    The warm and rich plethora of colours as well as textured and short brushstrokes used imbue the painting with liveliness and vitality; and as we scan our eyes across the painting from left to right, our eyes are treated to a feast with lots of detailing to take in and enjoy.

    It is a warm summer day with clouds floating in the clear blue sky, and ducks soaring in the air.

    A farmer in a tractor is depicted ploughing the fields, preparing the soil for seeding. We can also spot a cottage surrounded by trees and different well-grown agricultural crops. In the background, there is a row of trees lined up across the hills beyond.

    The painting is housed in a complementary brown frame. It comes in good vintage condition, but there are 2 pin holes visible on the left side of the painting.

  • Tea Time

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A simply calm and charming still life.

    Laid out on a tabletop is a yellow earthen clay water jug, a copper kettle, a glass water bottle, 3 fruits, a slice of bread, and a teacup filled with tea and placed on a saucer.

    Fine and detailed brushstrokes have been used to paint the objects so meticulously; and despite being laid out so smoothly on the canvas, one is still able to get a sense of the roundness and three dimensionality of the objects.

    The objects are placed against a monochrome grey background that further enhances their colours, allowing it to stand out more.

    The painting is housed in a robust frame, and is in excellent vintage condition. There are scattered areas of paint loss to the edges of the frame, but the uniformity of the losses have made us think this could be intentional, giving the frame that vintage ‘distressed’ effect.

  • Mi Casa

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding expressionist painting presenting a well decorated interior setting.

    A wide array of warm and bold colours as well as short and lightly textured brushstrokes have been used to create this homely atmosphere.

    The artist has creatively depicted a myriad of detail in this artwork – from the paintings hanging on a wall beside a bookshelf in the background, potted plants set on a window pane that overlook a garden filled with autumnal coloured trees, and most strikingly, the table in the foreground where a sewing activity was taking place, and a piece of fabric held down by a unique duck shaped planter.

    The painting is housed in a complementary beige and brown frame. The painting is in good vintage condition, with a an area of surface paint loss. The rest of the paint area remains stable. The top left inner section of the frame also has a minor loss.

  • Mauve Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning and richly textured painting of a mountainscape.  The brushwork and colour palette really convey a sense of power and strength within the natural landscape. Distinct blocks of colour and thickly applied paint with areas impasto show off the technical skill and confidence of the artist. The composition of the painting is punctuated by the double tree trunks which feature in the foregound, splitting the picture into 3 parts and thereby shifting our gaze from left to right. The sloping curve of the mountain simultaneously draws our eyes downward, encouraging us to move our attention from the mountain, to the sky, and then to the ground.

    The painting is housed in a really complementary gilt frame with hints of red. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 65 x 49cm (including frame)

  • Carmine

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A richly coloured, striking oil painting of red blooms (possibly Lilies or Amaryllis – let us know if you know which!) in a glass vase. The combination of ultramarine blue of the fabric, the carmine red of the flowers and the emerald green of the stems and leaves create a striking picture. Areas of impasto (where the thick paint stands proud on the surface) add wonderful texture to this painting.

  • Ashore

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This excellent semi-abstract modernist oil painting is rather unique. The colour palette is almost monochrome upon first glance, and would perfectly suit an interior with a modern décor. As we take the time to study the painting however, several other colours come to light, including purples, browns, blues, and greens. The artist has played with geometric shapes – using flat planes of colour to create a sense of depth and three dimensionality.

    The painting is housed in its original silver and black painted wood frame. It is in good vintage condition, with some scuffs to the frame and small areas of surface losses to the painting (as shown in photos).

    Size: 52 x 60cm (including frame)

  • The Dresser

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A fantastic still life oil painted in the impressionist style. Here the artist has rendered rich and intense colours,  seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, yellow and violet. Also evident is the artist’s use of the impressionist skill of the spontaneous brushstroke, each brush mark visible and distinct. Contrasting colours combined with multi directional strokes convey a sense of light and movement. There is a certain warmth and homeliness to this painting.

    The painting is housed in a robust frame, and is in good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. Cracks forming within the paint layer is natural as the paint starts to age. Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring.

    Size: 68 x 80 cm (including frame)

  • Prosper

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautiful and well-balanced still life that captured our hearts upon first sight.

    Presented atop a table draped with a cloth is a well-decorated pitcher filled with red tulips and pussy willows, surrounded by 7 oranges and a small green bowl.

    Very soft and precise brushstrokes have been used to create a delicate and realistic effect to the work, and there is calm fluency from one subject to the next.

    The artist has wonderfully managed to capture the creases and folds in the table cloth, and the great play of colours and reflective shadowy effects in the oranges and flowers create a sense of three dimensionality in the work.

    There is a strong focus of attention on the objects as its bold colours stand out in contrast to the background painted in beige with light pink undertones.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It comes well-presented in a thick gilt frame that has areas of paint loss.

    Size: 73 x 64 cm (including frame)

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellently executed 20th century landscape artwork depicting a house tucked behind a stone wall, partially hidden by lush greenery and set against a clear blue sky.

    In this work, the artist has skillfully used blocks of colours in contrasting shades to give rise to the various forms as such the trees and stone wall; and the selection of more than 8 different hues of vibrant green imbues the work with so much freshness.

    With the use of visible painterly brushstrokes, one is able to get a sense of the natural beauty and rough nature of the limestone wall; and through the use of expressive brushstrokes executed in a diagonal manner to paint the greenery, one can get a sense of movement and freedom in this work, of the strong wind blowing in the air, causing the leaves to sway.

    The work comes well-presented in a thin champagne gold frame, and is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 42.5 x 53 cm (including frame)

    A magnificent work of art presenting a row of houses lined by an ocean front with docked sailboats in sight.

    This coastal scape draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism, abstraction, and fauvism; and as we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.

    Blocks of contrasting bold colours have been use to give rise to the various forms, and the artist has wonderfully managed to capture reflections in the water through the use of short and swift brushstrokes.

    The work comes presented in a wood frame with a linen lining, and is in good vintage condition.

    A absolutely stunning oil painting of birds in flight across a coastal landscape.

    The forms of the two nudes are bold and well emphasised, as their silhouettes have been outlined by thick black lines .The artist has used quick and short brushstrokes, as well as heavy impasto to create a sense of three dimensionality in this work.

    This framed miniature is in very good vintage condition. There is very slight crevice along the lower section of the frame that is visible only upon close inspection. The structure of the wood frame remains very stable.

    Painting Size: 11.5 x 11.5 cm

    Overall Size: 25.5  x 25.5 cm (including frame)

    Note: The photos used are not meant to be an accurate size representation of the artwork. Please check dimensions before purchasing.

    Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.

  • Curio

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A really interesting and detailed oil painting of a selection of antiquities and collectables. The array of objects presented atop a white table reflect an interest in world culture and history, and perhaps even the particular interests of a scholar or explorer who might have picked up these objects on his travels. In the background hangs a patterned fabric, possibly of East Asian origin.

    The artist has taken great care in capturing the varying textures of each object. For example, we are able to surmise the polished stone of the head study on the left, whose surface texture stands in contrast to the rougher finish of the tall earthenware vessel in the middle.

    The painting is housed in a very unique textured wide profile frame with a mixture of finishes, included a moulded gilt inner window.

    Painted in 1959, it is in very good vintage condition overall. There are some cracks in the paint that are only visible if inspected very closely, but the paint surface stable. Cracks like these are very normal for a painting of this age as the paint medium contracts over time.

    Size: 45 x 58 cm (including frame)

  • The Village

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    With its sandy desert tones and visually pleasing composition, this small painting has a wonderful mellowness to it.  This scene of one of the White Villages in Spain shows off the region’s old white lime walls and brown tiled roofs. In this region the climate is known to be mild, and the tones and hues used in this painting capture that mildness of this quiet village perfectly. To add interest, the artist has included a donkey cart and driver strolling casually along, about to make their way back into the village after a long day’s work.

    This wonderful piece in oil is by Swedish artist Hans-Erik Öberg, painted in 1963. It is housed in a very well suited wood frame with a linen slip. The painting is in excellent condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

    Size: 37.5 x 45.5cm (including frame)

  • Morning Light

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    Rich creaming colouring, smooth yet confident brushwork, and a well balanced composition all come together in this visual delight. The way in which the artist has applied the coloured oil paints ignite all of our senses, beyond just the visual. We can imagine taking a bite into the fruit, it’s flesh juicy and sweet. The saturated orange and blue of the flowers in the vase tempt us to smell its fragrant aroma, and the terracotta water jug invites us to wrap our hands around it and feel its cool dry surface.

    There’s a freshness and light to this still life that is akin to the atmosphere of a crisp early spring morning. This painting goes beyond a depiction of a group of objects, and instead delights us with an unexpected sensory experience.

    Painted by Swedish artist Elsa Hansson Winnberg (1913-1987), it is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with hints of red, and is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 45 x 57cm (including frame)

  • Heaven

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This idyllic oil painting of a pastoral landscape is the epitome of tranquillity and calm. A group of birds soar overhead , leading our eyes over the expanse of warm yellow fields towards the silhouettes of trees and cottages, and then further into the mountains beyond. The composition is very well balanced, with the sky and land taking up equal proportions, adding to the sense of harmony and expansiveness within the picture. A tractor is seen in the foreground – its purple colouring contrasting wonderfully with the warmer hues of the yellow field.

    This painting, while delicate and tender, manages to capture both the beauty and vastness of the surrounding landscape. Housed in a gilt frame, it measures 40.5 x 48.5cm and is in very good vintage condition with only some light scuffing to the frame.

    Size: 40.5 x 48.5 cm (including frame)

  • Soar

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delicate oil on canvas depicting an eagle soaring in the sky, gliding through wheat fields with such poise.

    This composition is highly well-balanced, with the area of the sky and the land having equal visual weight.

    Although this bird of prey possesses impressive strength, and is known as one of the most powerful birds on the planet, the artist has chosen to capture its soft side – as there is so much lightness and grace is this composition. The use of fine and smooth brushstrokes imbue the work with a feel of gentleness; and the warm pastel colour palette create feelings of earthiness and calmness.

    The artwork comes with a light wood frame with a gilt inner window, which pairs extremely well with the painting, enhancing it further. Painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 52.5 x 60.5 cm (including frame)

  • Alicante

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An iconic and attractive scene of a promenade in the marina of Alicante, Spain. Here, magnificent palm trees line the waterfront promenade, and beautiful catamarans and sailboats are docked by marina in the Mediterranean Sea. Featuring a brilliantly bold and fauvist-like colour palette, this painting is characterised by its fierce brushwork and simplification of forms. Complementary colours have been used side by side, injecting a real vibrancy and energy to the painting.

    This oil on board was painted in 1951, and is by Swedish artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).  It is housed in an excellent vintage frame with several windows and a mix of different textures and colours. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some marks and scuffs as seen in photos.

    Size: 52 x 67 cm (including frame)

  • The Catch

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very large and vibrant oil painting on board with a wonderful array of details to notice. The painting almost ‘unfolds’ before  us as we look at it, with lots of individual areas of detailing becoming apparent as we let our eyes wander across the picture. At first glance we notice the main scene taking place in the foreground, where a group of fishermen surround their catch of the day. Then we start to notice the other activities taking place, such as the woman spinning yarn on the right, as well as the features of the cityscape beyond. Then, almost as if to surprise us, little animals along the lower border soon reveal themselves to us – the rabbit, frog, dog with bird in mouth, and duck. Even as the picture recedes, the artist has taken great care to paint in all the details, including the cranes and factories in the far distance.

    This wonderful painting with so much to offer measures 80.9 x 48.1cm. There are some areas of paint losses to the bottom of the painting but this would be easily covered by a frame.

    Size: 80.9 x 48.1cm

  • Unity

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An energetic still life of a busy table top filled with 4 flower pots, paintbrushes, a pitcher and cups, peeled oranges and a bag.

    The artwork is well executed with strong and confident brushstrokes; and the colours used are so vibrant and captivating, in particularly the pitcher painted in a beautiful shade of Azure blue.

    As a viewer, one is left with a sense of wonder, as the artist has depicted an unexpected and diverse choice of objects that each have their own unique character, yet are united so harmoniously together.

     

    This oil on board comes wonderfully presented in a well suited gilt frame, and is in excellent condition.

    Size: 48 x 38 cm (including frame)

  • Balance

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellent composition of a nude study in gouache, depicting a female figure perched on a stool. There is a palpable tension within this picture. With her legs raised, the muse grips the rear legs of the stool, balancing her slender figure on the equally slender wooden stool.  The simplicity of this picture is very effective – clean lines and a limited colour palette lend themselves well  to this very visually pleasing composition.

    Recently framed in a very complementary oak and maple frame with a white card mount, this gouache on paper is in excellent condition.

    Size: 61 x 46.5 cm (including frame)

  • Pastel Nude

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This large abstracted depiction of the female figure may seem simple at first glance, but as we spend the time to look at its forms, lines and colours, we soon realise its complexity. In some ways a reminder of the Nude Blue cut-outs series by Henri Matisse, the nude figure in this painting has been abstracted down to a group of shapes and colours. The artist has avoided any attempt to mimic reality and has instead used blocks of soft yet contrasting colours to create a sense of space and three dimensionality. Paint has been applied lightly and sparsely, allowing the raw canvas to show through.

    Painted by  in 1968, this wonderful oil is housed in a red and gilt wood frame with a linen slip, and is in excellent condition with some minor scuffs to the frame.

    Size: 71 x 59 cm (including frame)

  • Apples and Pears

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A charming miniature oil still life of unassuming apples and pears. This compact painting features rich colouring and texture, and is housed in a wonderful wood and gilt vintage effect frame.

    Miniature paintings are often overlooked treasures. Their small size means they can fit into an array of small spaces, adding interest to nooks and crannies. They can be displayed on a bookshelf or kitchen shelf, either standing on a mini easel or leant against other objects/books. If added to a group display, these small pieces act as a wonderful contrast to bigger pieces, and can add ‘punctuation’ to the group hang.

    This original miniature oil is in excellent condition.

    Size: 18.5 x 23.5 cm (including frame)

  • Tulips

    Sold

    SOLD

    This captivating still life in oil depicting tulips in a vase features bold colours, strong outlines, and lots of texture. Thick, creamy layers of oil paint have been applied generously by the artist, giving this painting a real tactility. Painted on a long vertical canvas with a very well balanced composition, our eyes are led from top to bottom. At first glace we notice the 6 upright blooms, but then our eyes are drawn downwards toward the one wilting flower, its soft stem forming a curved line that contrasts with the straighter angles of the other tulips and their leaves. The horseshoe reflection on the vase lead us down to the single pear that sits on the table –  the final punctuation in this wonderfully compositioned piece.

    This original oil was painted in 1959. It is housed in a deep gilt frame with an inner moulding that is stained green and highlights the painting perfectly. There is a slight widening to the top right joint of the frame, but otherwise the painting and frame are in very good condition.

    Size: 75 x 43 cm (including frame)

  • The Pianist

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This captivating expressionist oil is a fine example of the work by established artist Nathan Gutman. We cannot hear the tune that the pianist plays, but swirls of colour mimic the melody as it dances through the air, treating us to a visual experience in place of what would have been an aural one. Bright colours and dynamic brushstrokes fill the painting with a youthful energy.

    Born in 1914 in Poland and of Jewish descent, Nathan Gutman is a well established artist who exhibited widely throughout his life.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 61 x 53 cm (including frame)

  • Cottage in the Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A scenic view of a cottage in the meadow, surrounded by tracts of grassland and hay fields.

    The joy and serenity of nature is widely celebrated in this artwork; and its lush landscape is so inviting, as one yearns to roam in the vastness of its glory, to connect with nature and reconnect with themselves.

    The artist has chosen to work primarily with 3 colours – green, brown and blue. Although it may seem limited, multiple shades from each colour have been used to bring the forms in this work to life. For example, we can spot lovely shades of pear green, pickle green, and seaweed green.

    What is equally interesting is that for each shade, there is a similar directional use of brushstrokes – making this landscape painting so unique.

    This artwork painted in 1945 is an oil on canvas, and is well presented in a brown wood frame, with a white mount that further accentuates its beauty.

    It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 48 x 57 cm (including frame)

  • A Bond

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An endearing portrait of a mother braiding her child’s hair in a home setting.

    The frame of this work – a white canvas surrounded by inner and outer gold windows – pairs perfectly with this piece, as it acts like an open door, allowing viewers to peer inside a room, and witness this loving scene. Both mother and daughter’s gaze are not facing the viewer, and they are happily engaging their own conversation and activity, caught unaware.

    At first glance, this artwork may appear simple to one’s eye. However upon further observation, what is so remarkable is the intricate detailing of the plethora of colours used in every form in this painting – from the colourful rug, the mother’s skirt, to the child’s hair and even the walls.

    Another key component is the setting of this scene that allows one to get a good perspective into this home. We are presented with a view of a living room; and the open door in the background gives us a glimpse of a kitchen. Furthermore, there are many beautiful objects all around painted so very finely and carefully – including a lamp sat on a table top and placed beside a painting (which we are given a small view of), a pot and a kettle, and a coat hung up.

    This 20th century oil on panel is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 58 x 50 cm (including frame)

  • The Farmhouse

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This post impressionistic painting is a fine example of the way in which an artist can celebrate the material properties of the medium of oil. Urgent, rough and bold brushstrokes are accentuated by thick, short, colourful, blocky bursts that add a sense of youthful energy. Here the artist has banished preconceived notions about object and colour from his or her mind (such as grass being just green), and has instead painted the colour hues and tones as seen in that particular moment in the natural light.

    The ruggedness of the landscape is almost mimicked by the way the artist has applied the paint, where you can almost see the bristles of the brush and the heavy-handedness in the application, giving the painting a visual palpability.

    The strong colours and brushwork are complemented by the robust greyish-green  mottled frame, within which the painting is housed. The painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition, with only very minor scuffing to the frame.

    Size: 54 x 72 cm (including frame)

  • It’s Showtime

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A stunning and well-executed oil painting depicting a scene outside Theatre Mogador in Paris.

    The show is about to begin, and an audience can be seen streaming through the open doors leading in to the theatre.

    In true Parisian fashion, the crowd is stylishly dressed with flair and sartorial splendour.

    The air is buzzing with joy and excitement in anticipation for the performance; and the artist so wonderfully captures this charged emotions through the use of bold and lively colours, as well as an outstanding painterly pattern of sweeping and rhythmic brushstrokes.

    This artwork comes with a unique black and grey frame with a linen liner. In excellent vintage condition, with only very minor scuffing to the frame.

  • Break of Dawn

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This calming mid 20th century oil on canvas depicts a scene of a Spanish village with a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in the foreground.

    It is the break of dawn, and the lady has just completed her first round of transporting the freshly harvested crops from the highlands down to village below.

    Despite the hardships of her livelihood having to balance a heavy load on her head through rough terrains, her upright posture with her hands on her hips exudes strength and pride, and an impressive sense of balance.

    This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Tage Gavik (1914-1981); who has used distinct brushstrokes and contrasting earthy colours to give rise to the various forms in this painting.

    In good vintage condition, and comes unframed.

    Size: 70 x 30 cm

  • The Lookout

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    A very large and very vibrant oil that would definitely make for an eye-catching feature piece in any interior. The artist has explored the use of colour to its full effect, using bold and rhythmic brushstrokes that set your eyes dancing. Strong outlines and saturated colour in oil form wonderful patterns, reminiscent of the fauvist works by artists such as Henri Matisse.

    The subject matter too is thoroughly heart warming – a family of 3 walk to the end of a path, taking in the view of the open sea through a gap in the luscious trees, as the surrounding landscape wraps them in a colourful and playful embrace.

    This original mid century oil painting is by artist Hans Öllgard (1911-1969) and is housed in robust gilt frame. An engraved metal plate carrying the artist’s name and dates is affixed to the frame.

    The painting is in excellent vintage condition, with only very minor scuffs to the frame.

    Size: 81 x 102 cm (including frame)

  • Demoiselle

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    One of the most elegant pieces in our collection yet, this beautiful oil depicts a collection of intricately painted objects on what is most likely a lady’s dresser. It is painted such that the viewer is herself sitting at this very table, just about to catch herself in the reflection of the mirror.

    A lady’s dresser is more than just a place to beautify oneself – it is a private space where she can take a moment to pause, reflect and unwind. Her collection of precious sentimental objects lay neatly before her, reminders of bygone days.

    The mirror in the painting captures the reflection of the objects on the table, but stops short at the point where we would see our own reflection – a seemingly simple yet rather effective angle chosen by the artist.

    Painted by Britt Bräckis Rosén, the oil painting is housed in a tasteful thin rounded gold frame. It is in excellent vintage condition with only some very minor scuffing to the frame.

    Size: 70 x 43 cm (including frame)

  • Two for Joy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Painted in 1974, this joyful oil painting depicts two magpies perched within a luscious green tree. The artist has combined textured layers of paint and a playful colour palette to create this delightful painting. Swirls of pastel blue, orange and brown contrast beautifully with the much quicker and heavier dabs of green and yellow of the leaves on the tree.  As the well known nursery rhyme goes, sighting two magpies signifies the arrival of joy and good luck.

    This painting is housed within a vintage style box frame that has been painted black. The frame has minor scuffs and the painting is in excellent vintage condition.

    For those that may no longer remember, here’s the famous rhyme about magpies:

    “One for sorrow,
    Two for joy,
    Three for a girl,
    Four for a boy,
    Five for silver,
    Six for gold,
    Seven for a secret,
    Never to be told,
    Eight for a wish,
    Nine for a kiss
    Ten for a bird
    You must not miss.”

    Size: 38 x 34 cm (including frame)

  • Grandfather’s Music

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A heartwarming scene of a grandfather playing an accordian to his granddaughter as she sits in front of him listening in awe. The artist’s of colours and his soft strokes lends a sense of warmth and tenderness.

    Apart from the narrative, there is technical skill and expertise in the artist’s handling of brush and medium. Despite the use of heavy layers of paint, the artist has managed to capture the translucency and diaphanous quality of the light curtain that hangs from the window. He has also managed to tread a fine balance between quick expressionist strokes and areas of finer detailing

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original wood and painted gilt frame. It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 47.5 x 55.5 cm (including frame)

    This painting would pair nicely with another painting of a similar size and frame which is also available in our collection. View it here.

  • The Fishermen

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully dynamic expressionist piece by Swedish artist Arne Wallsten, depicting two fishermen who have just come back from the shore after a long day out at see.

    Wallsten’s quick and thick brushstrokes and contrasting colours convey intense movement within the picture. Large brushstrokes of dark blue and grey signify the inclement weather the fishermen have had to face all day while out at sea, and Wallsten has further extended this sense of blustery and rough weather into the land, where he has painted the ground almost as though it is itself a turbulent surface. Long vertical, expressionist strokes of yellow, brown and orange on the house to the right indicate that it has had to face the element – its roof and walls rough and rugged.

    Wallsten was born in 1932 in Lund. He is know for figures in interiors and exteriors, and his paintings always carry a narrative.

    This oil on canvas is housed in its original wood and painted gilt frame. It is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 39 x 47 cm (including frame)

    This painting would pair nicely with another Arne Wallsten painting of a similar size which is also available in our collection. View it here.

  • Moroccan Tales

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A captivating and expressive mid 20th century oil painting presenting an everyday scene of a lively local town in Morocco.

    The sky is beaming blue, and it is a scorching hot day, as the sun’s strong rays have illuminated the colourful line up of buildings and stalls, and the pathway.

    A group of Moroccan men can be seen passing through. They are dressed in turbans and djillabas, which is a long outer robe and is one of the most popular forms of traditional Moroccan clothing. Donkeys, which are an integral part of Moroccan life, are featured in this painting, as a man is depicted riding on one as his main mode of transportation.

    Moroccans are known for their warmth, openness and sociability, and this painting so wonderfully captures the essence of their nature- the rich and warm array of colours used in this painting is so vibrant and welcoming, and are harmonised extremely well together; and the expressionistic brushstrokes used imbue the painting with much vigor and liveliness.

    This oil on canvas comes in a unique vintage grey wooden frame with a linen slip.

    Size: 63.5 x 74.5 cm (including frame)

  • Pitchers

    Sold

    SOLD

    Through its exploration of lines and generating and defining of shapes such as the curve, circles, angles and arabesque, this painting picks up on the style and ideas of the Movement paintings of British St Ives School artist Sir Terry Frost, who explored concepts around creating rhythm, counterpoint, interruption and repetition.

    A wonderful visual vocabulary of bright primary colours, shapes, and movement transforms what would normally just be a group of mugs and pitchers, and has given them a life of their own.

    The magic in this is that the artist has taken ordinary objects, and has looked at them in a way that has removed all preconceived notions of visual experience in order to open up the possibility of recreating and reimagining that defies reality. There is an openness to serious play with colour and shape. This painting is simple and surprisingly subtle, but very satisfying to look at, and to enjoy.

    This lovely oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The complementary frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

    Size: 36 x 36cm (including frame)

  • The Port

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    This bright expressionist oil depicting a harbour scene is wonderfully dynamic. Quick brushstrokes, heavy impasto and a vibrant colour palette lend themselves well to capturing the hustle and bustle of the busy dock at daytime. Surrounding the picture stand tall warehouses that have been built to serve the harbour, smoke bellowing from their chimneys. In the foreground merchants trading their goods scurry along. A white sailing ship with its tall mast is docked in the middle of the picture – its sailor just about to to disembark down the ladder.

    This original oil is by Finish/Swedish artist Kurt Erik Heinonen was born in 1915 and died in 1983. This piece is typical in style and subject for Heinonen, who often used a palette knife with strong clear colouring, mainly painting the west coast region of Sweden with views of fishing harbours with boats.

    The painting is housed in a gorgeous distressed frame wood and cream frame, showing off its wood grain beautifully.

    Size: 68 x 59 cm (including frame)

  • The Surprise Visit

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lively and dynamic artwork of an interior setting featuring an elderly couple sitting by a window and a young child.

    It is a sunny day outside, and this little girl has come to surprise her grandparents living in the countryside with a visit. She has entered the living room in their cottage, and the air is filled with joy as they set sights on one another.

    The house is well decorated with paintings hanging on the walls, some flowers in a vase placed atop a side table, and the floor is adorned with a colourful rug.

    What is so captivating in this piece is the strong use of bold, distinct and linear brushstrokes, giving rise to the various forms in this picture.

    This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Ake Wickström (b. 1927), who’s works are also displayed at Vikingsberg Museum, Helsingborg, and Broby Museum.

    This mid 20th century oil painting is well preserved, and is in excellent vintage condition.

    It comes with a brown wooden frame with gold trimmings that complements the artwork beautifully.

    Size: 48 x 58 cm (including frame)

  • Chinoiserie

    Sold

    A beautiful and serene still life that captured our hearts upon first sight.

    Presented atop a mahogany wooden table is an arrangement of flowers in a vase, a sugar pot, and and 2 European vintage ceramic figurines of a boy and girl with animals around them.

    What is so captivating about this work is that it has elements of both East and West – the artist has painted a dutch Delft blue and white chinoiserie porcelain vase that has some yellow overtones that further enhances its beauty.

    The objects are set against a beautifully painted backdrop that picks up the colours of the flowers and the ornaments around it.

    Very fine and soft brushstrokes have been used to create a smooth and delicate effect to the work, and there is great fluency from one subject to the next.

    The artist has also skillfully captured the reflections of the objects cast against the wood grains of the table top.

    Housed in its original frame, this is one of our larger artworks, and measures 88 x 69cm including the frame.

  • The Piazza

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore

    A bustling and robust scene of a piazza set amidst buildings in an urban area.

    The beauty of such a town square is that it encourages sociability and acts as a centre point for cultural life in the city.

    The artist has managed to capture this essence so perfectly in this work, as this town square is so alive and buzzing with energy. Nightfall has set in, and a line-up of stalls are presented; people from all walks of life are coming together, socialising, checking out the interesting stalls, and taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    Although the artist has chosen to use a darker colour palette to exemplify this night time scene, hints of orange have been used extensively to accentuate and highlight the distinct forms throughout the painting.

    This mid 20th century painting is an original oil on canvas by female Swedish painter Gusty Olsson (1902 -1976), and is signed on the lower left.

    The painting is presented in its original frame, which has some slight signs of ageing, more so to the upper edge. It is in good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 57 x 66 cm (including frame)

  • By the Boardwalk

    Sold

    SOLD

    This charming artwork of a boardwalk set against a river by a coastal town brings so much lightness and serenity to one’s heart.

    It is a cloudy day, and thick clouds have filled the light blue sky. The wind is blowing strongly in the air – causing the lush greenery in the background to sway, and making the water’s surface uneven.

    This gouache painting is uniquely characterised by wonderful blocks of colours as well as broad and textured brushstrokes. Through this, the artist has been able to skilfully produce forms in a somewhat distinct yet abstract manner; and the sweeping motion in which the brushworks have been applied breathe so much life and vigour to the overall artwork.

    It is housed in white card mount and a blue stained wood frame which picks up on the colours within the painting beautifully. The painting is glazed (there is a layer of perspex between the frame and the painting) to ensure longevity.

  • The Tabletop Party

    Sold

    SOLD

    An expressive still life depicting 2 pears, a wooden spatula, and a Delft blue plate laid out on a tabletop.

    The artist has skilfully captured the three-dimensionality of the objects through the use of bold and distinct brushstrokes using the impasto technique.

    The overflowing use of colours as well as texture imbues this little painting with so much character and vigour – that it makes the objects come to live, and seem as if they are having a blast at their own little party together.

    The painting is housed in a new box frame that is painted white.

    Size: 27 x 30cm (including frame)

  • The Swans

    Sold

    A wonderful study of 2 white swans grazing in a lush garden, set against a historical building.

    On this fine morning in Spring, a graceful pair of swans have just emerged from the nearby lake, and have come to the lawn to nibble on grass. With no one else in sight, they are roaming freely in the area, with not a worry in the world.

    The artist has selected a beautiful naturalistic and earthy colour palette in this work; and has creatively dabbed a mix of clay, beige and sand colours to render the rough and granular nature of stone on the historical building.

    He has also painted the grass in a similar fashion – using different shades of green and some hints of beige to highlight its dense appearance.

    This mid 20th century painting is an oil on canvas, and is signed on the lower right.

    It is complemented by its gilt frame, and measures 73.5 x 62.5 cm (including frame)

  • The Street Fair

    Sold

    This enchanting scene of a street fair is such a whimsical piece of art.

    It’s a lovely day in Spring and the fair has just started. The street is lined with stalls selling an abundance of food, games and handicraft, as the crowd is slowly streaming in, and there is even a dog who wants to join the party.

    This work brings back such delightful memories of visiting a carnival with friends or family, having so much fun, and always returning home with something new.

    This oil on panel is done by Gerhard Karlmark (1905-1976), who works are displayed in museums across Sweden.

    It is signed on the lower right, and is complemented by its gilt frame.

    Size: 39 x 47 cm (including frame)

  • Lambs

    Sold

    SOLD

    An oil painting reminiscent of the famous expressionist works by Vincent Van Gogh, this Swedish oil bears striking colour, emphatic brushwork and contoured forms, telling a story with a paintbrush. The artist has used the impasto technique fervently, applying the paint thickly to the canvas so that it stands proud and creates a three-dimensional effect. Swirls of coloured paint lend a warm glow to this intimate night time scene.

    This striking oil is painted on canvas on stretchers, and is framed in its original box frame which shows off its wood grain.

    Painted in 1969, it remains in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 39 x 47.5 cm (including frame)

  • Lavender Fields

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A enchanting painting of a picturesque scene  in Provence of lavender fields with mountains in the background. Spring has arrived, and one can almost smell the scent of lavender permeating the air, as the vibrant purple crops are ready for harvest. Four farmers are depicting out in the fields, enjoying their day while they harvest the crops. The buds have formed on the plant, but the flowers have yet to burst into full bloom – as it is the best time to be harvested.

    The painting comes in lovely pastel tones, and the artist has managed to capture the delicate nature of flowers so effortlessly through the use of fine, short brushstrokes.

    This is a mixed media on paper, and the vintage gilded frame with red velvet lining that comes with the artwork adds so much character to it. The painting is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and artwork).

    The artwork and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some very minor scuffing.

    Size: 39 x 47.5 cm (including frame)

  • Off to Market

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    A really unique piece showing off a rich array of warm colours, depicting figures within a vibrant Latin American village. The artist has contrasted areas of small blocks of colour against larger swathes of more expressionistic brushstrokes. These different strokes moving in different directions imbue the painting with a liveliness and playfulness that you don’t often find in paintings. Our eyes are treated to a feast, with lots of detailing to take in and enjoy. We love the fact that the artist has included the little dog passing by, emphasising the fact that this is an everyday scene, part of the hustle and bustle of village life. After noticing the scene that is taking place in the foreground, our eyes are then drawn further into the background where we begin to take in the surrounding landscape, including the village houses and mountains beyond.

    This wonderful oil is is complemented by a very complementary double frame, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 73 x 42cm (including frame)

  • Recline

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An absolutely stunning mid 20th century oil painting of a female nude on a lounge chair in a reclined position.

    The female figure is well-composed and has an air of confidence. Her hair is styled in a bun, without a single strand out of place. At work, she is a woman of power, and she has just returned home after a long day of negotiating deals, wanting to unwind.

    The viewer is unable to make eye contact, as she is faced away gazing to the distance, and appears to be caught up in her thoughts, and not wishing to be interrupted.

    Her body recognises that it is time to unwind and leave one’s worries behind, as she is sat in a relaxed manner – with her slender legs stretched out, and her hands laid across the arm rests.

    It is signed and dated 1943 to the lower left, and is complemented by its gilt frame.

    Size: 33 x 56cm (including frame)

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    It is mid afternoon, the house is quiet, and the kitchen is in repose. The cook takes a moment to rest her tired legs and aching back. She knows it won’t be long before the afternoon passes and dinner preparations for the family need to get going.

    Many of us can relate to this simple scene of taking a moment to pause, and feeling the relief of having some time to breathe, before the hustle has to begin again.

  • Acres

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    The serenity of nature is widely celebrated in this artwork, as it presents a landscape scene taken in Österlen – a region in Sweden well known for its natural environment.

    What is striking is the horizontalness in the work – with the vertical plains drawn, almost stacked on one another – giving depth to the work.

    Despite being just a viewer to this painting, the stillness and calmness radiating from the work is so powerful, that one can be easily transported to zen state of mind.

    The painting comes in its original unique frame that suits the painting perfectly. There are minor scuffs to the frame, but this is in line with its age and vintage charm.

The brushwork is beautiful and textured, and the composition is very well balanced. The blocks of colour give it a structured feel, but the expressive brushwork imbue it with freedom and movement. The artist has executed the painting with flat planes of colour while still maintaining perspective within the picture – just stunning!

    The painting comes in its original painted wooden frame and suits the painting perfectly. There are minor scuffs to the frame, but this is in line with its age and vintage charm.

    Size: 40 x 52cm (including frame)

  • Desert Tales

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    Why imitate reality when you can imagine a new one?

    Here the most powerful resources of the artist – creativity, imagination and reinvention – have been harnessed. Such a delicate combination has been achieved: the celebration of the common things of everyday life without imitation. Instead, we have ‘visual music’, composed using the formal artistic elements of pattern, harmony, colour, and rhythm.

    In the foreground of this enchanting artwork, we see 2 red poppies in a vase, situated around a jug, an onion and 3 stones. What is captivating is the tribal patterns on the objects, and the striking colour palette comprising of black, white and purple being used.

    With these objects dominating the artwork, what can be quite missable to the eye is the unique location where this scene is taking place – the desert! In the background, the sun is glowing in the clear blue sky, watching over the vast land and sand dunes beneath it.

    This charming oil on board is in excellent vintage condition, and comes in a beautifully carved wooden frame.

    Size: 25.4 x 19.7cm (including frame)

    This work is a visual pleasure to any viewer, as there is so much harmony – from the balanced colours, forms, lines and texture presented. The transition of the crops and river in the foreground, to the wharf in the middle ground, and lastly to the forest and sky in the background is so well executed, it creates a sense of cohesion and wholeness to the painting.

  • The Conversation

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    This artwork captivated our hearts with its unique and interesting subject matter. Depicting a home setting that is well decorated with objects such as artworks and a grandfather clock hanging on the wall, one is immediately drawn to the male figures presented together in the middle.

    This group of 5 elderly gentlemen, appear to be long time friends and are engaged in a lively conversation. This artwork is certainly very inviting and as a viewer, one’s curiosity is piqued by the possible subject of the conversation taking place.

    The strong use of bold and distinct brushstrokes in this painting is immaculate as it gives rise to the various forms in the work. Another great beauty point is the sunlight streaming in from the open window, as it lights up the room, casting shadows and light on the flooring as well.

    This oil on canvas comes with a brown wooden frame with black accents, complementing the artwork beautifully.

    Size: 56 x 64 cm (including frame)

    Why imitate reality when you can imagine a new one?

    Here the most powerful resources of the artist – creativity, imagination and reinvention – have been harnessed. Such a delicate combination has been achieved: the celebration of the common things of everyday life without imitation. Instead, we have ‘visual music’, composed using the formal artistic elements of pattern, harmony, colour, and rhythm.

    We have abstract planes of strong colour, intensified by chromatic contrasts which cause each saturated hue to reverberate in the eye. This ‘no depth’ style might seem simple to achieve, but when examined further, the combination of different elements in fact take great skill. The objects have been deliberately flattened to bring them parallel to the picture surface, deployed on a table top that has been similarly brought up and forward by 90 degrees to align them with the canvas plane. These familiar objects acquire a new life of their own within the composed world of the painting, bounded by the rectangular surface itself and their own pictorial structure of shape and colour.

    This meticulous and vivacious oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The black complementary frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

    SOLD

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    There’s something wonderfully cosy and homely about this little painting titled ‘The Window’.

    Perhaps it is the fact that as we look out the window, we see the dark grey clouds beyond and therefore the impending rainfall. But we’re inside, looking out, protected. We’ve collected our wildflowers and now it’s time for a cup of tea and a nice book, while nature outside gets its much needed watering.⁠

    This cheerful and pleasant oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The white complementary frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

  • Percolate

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    Through its exploration of lines and generating and defining of shapes such as the curve, circles, angles and arabesque, this painting picks up on the style and ideas of the Movement paintings of British St Ives School artist Sir Terry Frost, who explored concepts around creating rhythm, counterpoint, interruption and repetition.

    A wonderful visual vocabulary of bright primary colours, shapes, and movement transforms what would normally just be a pair of espresso cups and a percolator, and has given them a life of their own.

    The magic in this is that the artist has taken ordinary objects, and has looked at them in a way that has removed all preconceived notions of visual experience in order to open up the possibility of recreating and reimagining that defies reality. There is an openness to serious play with colour and shape. This painting is simple and surprisingly subtle, but very satisfying to look at, and to enjoy.

    This lovely oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The complementary frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

  • Fleur Blanche

    Sold

    Free shipping to Europe, UK and Singapore.

    Imagine a friend has brought you a bunch of flowers and you’ve put them in a jug displayed on your dining room table. You’re having breakfast at your table the next morning, admiring the flowers. You observe the patterns, colours, edges and lines of the little flowers. You begin to notice the natural rhythm within this visual picture – the different heights and shapes of the flowers and leaves and their stems form a sweet harmonious composition.

    It is this very composition that the artist of this painting has explored. The artist has observed the formal elements of the jug of flowers, i.e. shape, line, form and colour, and has enhanced them by deliberately flattening and bringing them parallel to the picture surface, deployed on a table top that has been similarly brought up and forward by 90 degrees to align them with the canvas plane.

    Here we have art that accepts life’s visual and tactile pleasures, but represents them using the resources of the painter – colour and form, visual rhythm and rhyme.

    This lovely oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. The complementary vintage effect frame as seen in the photos is included with the painting.

    Why imitate reality when you can imagine a new one?

    Here the most powerful resources of the artist – creativity, imagination and reinvention – have been harnessed. Such a delicate combination has been achieved: the celebration of the common things of everyday life without imitation. Instead, we have ‘visual music’, composed using the formal artistic elements of pattern, harmony, colour, and rhythm.

    We might have in front of us a vase of flowers, a pair of pears, a couple of variegated pebbles and a jug of cherries. But there is more than meets the eye. We have abstract planes of strong colour, intensified by chromatic contrasts which cause each saturated hue to reverberate in the eye. Clear, clean, decorative shapes, schematically flattened into pure geometries: disc and circle, star, scallop-edged roundel, arch and curve, stripes and lines, the intensity of emerald green and ultramarine against pastels and white.

    This ‘no depth’ style might seem simple to achieve, but when examined further, the combination of different elements in fact take great skill. The objects have been deliberately flattened to bring them parallel to the picture surface, deployed on a table top that has been similarly brought up and forward by 90 degrees to align them with the canvas plane. These familiar objects acquire a new life of their own within the composed world of the painting, bounded by the rectangular surface itself and their own pictorial structure of shape and colour.

  • Autumn Village | Village de Moselle

    Sold

    SOLD

    This artwork is so unique as it is painted on not one, but two sides!

    On one front, a cheerful autumnal landscape scene that is painted in a fauvist manner is presented. One is captivated by the striking use of strong vivid colours, and the use of bold and distinctive brushwork that certainly enhances the work’s emotional power.

    On the other reverse, a stunning 1950s modernist painting of a French Village is presented. Using a wonderfully unique colour palette, it instills the pictured French village with so much life and character. The artist has chosen not to paint any figures in this picture, but the buildings have been painted in such an expressive, vibrant and textured manner that they almost double as people – the bold outlines and different coloured facades give each structure its own personality. Even the fencing in the forefront has been given close attention by the artist. The bold and gestural brushstrokes in the forefront of the painting contrast elegantly with the lighter and more muted palette of the sky.

    There is so much to look at and notice in the entirety of this artwork – a delightful array of colours, textures and structures on both sides.

    This 1950s oil on board is in good vintage condition for its age, and is well presented in wooden frame. The front is exposed, and the back has a UV-protected glass cover – and you can choose to display either side.

    Size: 44 x 56cm

  • Fields of Yellow

    Sold

    A striking and picturesque impressionist landscape scene of a field of rapeseed on a fine Spring day. The crops are presented in full bloom, and ready for harvest. Soft and sweeping brushstrokes capture the momentary effects of sunlight shining its rays down on the flowers, and the vibrant shades of yellow contrasted with the darker greens and browns create a wonderful striking effect.

    This oil on board comes framed, and is in excellent vintage condition.

    Size: 25.4 x 35.6 cm

  • The Troop

    Sold

    SOLD

    This 20th century oil on canvas presents a still life that is carefully composed and well-balanced.  The artist has used fine brushstrokes to portray a detailed array of tableware on a wooden top. We can detect the use of chiaroscuro, a technique in art that uses the contrast of light and shadow, giving the objects a sense of three-dimensionality and volume.

    The artist has chosen not to hide the age and wear of the objects, and has deliberately chosen to include the staining on the plate and the discolouration on the pitcher in the middle, highlighting the functional and practical use of these objects in everyday life. The silverware stand strong and proud, with a robust and determined manner.

    This painting provides a wonderful parallel to life’s journey – often filled with challenges and hardship, but a reminder that we should always persevere, and make the deliberate choice to to take pride in our scares and embrace it as part of our life story.

    This is painted in acrylic on stretched canvas, and  is in fine vintage condition.
    Size: 30.3 x 40.6 cm

  • Peach Blossom

    Sold

    A blue vase filled with lush pink peach blossoms in full bloom is presented on a table top, with light streaming in from the window behind. The pink tones stand out beautifully against the deeper blues of the vase and background, and the stems of the peach blossom branch out confidently in different directions, its strength and wildness on display, never to be subdued.

    Painted in oil on canvas board, it is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Summer Pasture

    Sold

    A small, stunning and very well balanced oil on board. We see cows resting under a tree in pasture, keeping themselves cool and shaded from the summer heat. The mix of contrasting green tones against the blue sky add depth to the picture. The two large trees are punctuated by the string of resting cows on the left, adding a wonderful sense of balance and harmony to the picture. The combination of the cows in repose, the rich green brushwork and the blue skies really lend a sense of tranquillity and calm to this small but confident picture.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition.

    This modernist style painting strikes a fine balance between realism and abstraction. We see a calming and dreamy riverscape on the one hand, but the combination of bold lines, subjective use of colour and  distinct forms and shapes adds an element of abstraction to the piece. We’re unable to tie the landscape to any particular place or moment in time, which lends a sense of mystery to the piece. It allows us to let our minds wander, transporting us to a distant place faraway, away from the stresses of everyday life. The post-impressionist elements of this painting would make it a good fit for a contemporary interior.

    This oil on board comes unframed, and has minor surface marks on the edges that would be easily hidden by a frame.

  • Roaring Mountains

    Sold

    SOLD.

    The beauty of the natural landscape is already wonderfully magnificent, but what the artist has done in this painting is to take a step further.

    He or she has managed to take a mountain – what is usually deemed to be strong, steady and stable in form – and has filled it with life and activity, so much so that it is as active as sky and water surrounding it. The vitality of the brushstrokes – so many of them large, strong and independent, forming patterns and textures all on their own – enlivens the mountains and its immediate surroundings. The artist’s has used his own personal vision and has transformed it into a part of the landscape of the mind.

    The painting in good vintage condition. There is a tiny hole on each of the 4 outermost corners  from the previous frame but these do not detract from the painting.

    It comes in a beautiful fabric-lined wood frame, and there are some marks around the outermost edges of frame.

  • Night at the Quayside

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Our director Shanti shares her thoughts on this painting in this video.

    This 20th century gouache painting presents a glimpse of a boat that has just docked at the quayside. Passengers have disembarked the boat, and a sailor from the boat beside can be seen peering down. The stillness from this calm composition brings back nostalgic memories of one returning back from an exciting trip out to sea, where fun for the day has come to an end as nightfall descends.

    Against the darkness of the midnight sky, the artist accurately captures nearby light being cast on water ripples through thick dabs of paint. Unlike most impressionist paintings, this work is unique as it is presents a night scene, instead of a usual daytime and vibrant scene one may mostly come across.

    This gouache on thick card comes framed. Overall, it is in good vintage condition that is typical for its age. There are some wears to the edges, of which are mostly covered by the frame.

  • The Teaparty

    Sold

    SOLD

    This wonderful and delightful early 20th Century garden scene depicts three ladies taking tea outside. The artist has composed the scene in the impressionist manner, reminiscent of the famous garden party works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The ladies perch on garden chairs, while one rests against a tree, drinking tea from a small table.

    Subtle dappled sunlight from the tree canopy above aids the picturesque, calm qualities of the setting, and the overall composition has a distinct and purposeful elegance.

    Painted in oil on canvas which has been laid down to board, this painting is in fine vintage condition with a very minor surface mark to the lower left corner.

    Sold

  • The Marina

    Sold

    ‘-SOLD-

    This lovely and bright early morning scene of a marina is a 20th century gouache and watercolour painting on paper.

  • Simple Mornings

    Sold

    This painting reminds us to appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life. Porter keeps a focus on the seemingly mundane – a jug of milk and three eggs.

  • Pasture

    Sold

    Many of us have fallen into a way of life that suffers from too much intensity, stimulation and distraction. Work is frantic, our email inboxes are clogged, and there is hardly time to reflect on anything.

    This beautifully calm and serene landscape with grazing sheep allows us the chance to resume contact with a more solitary, thoughtful self that otherwise eludes us. It draws out our peaceful side and encapsulates a value of gentleness. The unpretentious simplicity of sheep nestled within a cool autumnal meadow encourages a modest, tender hearted happiness, far away from the stresses of life.

    This confident yet sensitively hand-painted oil is wonderfully presented in a well suited gilt frame, and its classic style would fit in well with any interior. In excellent vintage condition.

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    The overall atmosphere and character of this piece imbues us with thoughts of bright summer days, when everything, including the landscape itself, is full of life and activity. The vitality of the brushstrokes, so many of them large, bold and strong, enlivens the cottages and their surroundings by conveying a sense of movement – the leaves on the trees and the blades on the grass flutter lightly in the summer air.

  • Summer Skies

    Sold

    ‘-SOLD-

    Despite its small size, this painting does not seem to be at all constrained by its borders. An expansive and panoramic view beckons us, and tiny details within the pastoral landscape invite us in to take a closer look. The artist has used swift and sweeping strokes of colour to paint the atmospheric sky, while maintaining a more restrained hand when painting the finer details of the tree-lined fields and sheep below.

    This beautiful composition is imbued with a sense of peace and tranquillity, while still conveying a sense of the passing of time. Its cool palette, well laid out composition and compact size make it a stunning yet practical addition to both classic and modern interiors.

    Size: 24 x 29cm (including frame)

  • By the Reeds

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    We have here a calm summer’s day, the water is still and the air is cool. To the left a boat is anchored, just beyond the reeds. It is easy to imagine the artist, painting this beautiful sight before them, en plein air. The impressionistic style and subtle impasto has created a highly textured effect, and the artist has left small bits of the board exposed.  The clear glassy water beautifully reflects the open skies above, while the richer green colours of the reeds in the forefront pair perfectly with the tree lined background.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with beaded moulding.

    Size: 49.5 x 61.5 cm (including frame)

    In excellent vintage condition.

  • The Fishing Boats

    Sold

    The painterly technique in this work effectively conveys the spirit and movement of the sea and sky. Vibrant colours, and swift thick brushstrokes are the key features in this dramatic coastal landscape of fishing boats and bouys.

    Size: 33 x 39cm (including frame)

    In good vintage condition.

  • The Holiday

    Sold

    SOLD

    This piece is most certainly one of our favourites. Delicately painted in creamy pastel tones, this textured piece is a holiday on canvas. Capturing a quiet back street in Continental Europe, the loose and painterly handling of the artist’s brush echoes the shifting colours and patterns of French Impressionism. A perfect mnemonic for a previous European vacation, or better still, a prompt to make the journey once again.

    This painting perfectly captures that moment we describe as ‘enjoying one’s own company’. We don’t see the sitter, as perhaps they have been called away, interrupted, but will return shortly to continue reading where they left off. This painting exudes charm and character, and is a reminder of the precious moments we allow ourselves in our busy lives, to have some time to relish peace and quiet, to read or write, and enjoy a period of calm.

  • The Clan

    Sold

    ‘-SOLD-

    This quotidien scene of simple objects is arranged as a still life of copper, bronze and silver vessels. There is no frippery to this picture, no gesture overplayed.

    Yet the physical solidarity and surety of the objects contrast starkly with the negative space and void beyond – the table and background seem to merge into an abstract hollow. This invites us to open our minds to wider meanings, and offers us the chance to think freely and more metaphorically.

    As opposed to just static receptacles, we could imagine this grouping as a family – perhaps as three siblings in a row. The two elder siblings perched on either end, standing tall and playing by the rules, while the youngest sibling in the middle, creative and seeking attention, playfully falls over, breaking the formal composition of the picture. Yet somehow the trio remain harmonious despite the disruption.

    As objects, they share similarities in their matter and purpose, but are still able to hold their own. Much like siblings, they are bonded by connections and similarities, but remain unique individuals with idiosyncratic characteristics worth discovering.

    Size: 34 x 41cm (including frame)

  • Table Setting

    Sold

    SOLD

    This bold and eye-catching still life presents a table setting of a flower pot set against oranges and onions. The bright and vibrant colour palette of red, orange and yellow hues that have been used is cheerful, and is sure to lift your spirits. The artist has skilfully captured the three-dimensionality of the objects through the use of fine and broad brushwork.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. There is some very minor wear to the outermost corners which would be covered by a frame.

  • Portrait by Moonlight

    £1,030

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliant mid-century figurative composition, 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 centres around a portrait of a female figure standing by a patterned translucent curtain, and with a view of a landscape setting and the moon shining behind her.

    With only the upper half of her showing, the figure is stylishly dressed in patterned clothing with intricate detailing, as well as a matching headpiece.

    The artist’s brushstrokes are gentle, soft, and precise, reflecting a careful attention to detail. The overall muted and earthy colours create a subdued and warmth atmosphere. The lady’s small and striking red lips as well as the play of flat geometric shapes in the composition are typical of the artist Lundqvist’s style.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary deep profile champagne frame with and inner linen lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very light scuffing.

    The sculpture seen in the photos is also available to purchase and details can be viewed here.

  • Abundance

    £585

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A vibrant and lively mid-century modernist-style landscape, executed in oil on canvas and dated 1957.

    The composition sweeps across the canvas, presenting lush green fields dominating the foreground, while rolling hills and blue mountains stand in the background beneath a cloudy blue sky.

    Semi-abstract in nature, all realistic details have been omitted and there is a strong focus on expressive brushstrokes and colour.

    The artist has reduced the composition down to blocks of contrasting colours, as rich and saturated shades of greens and blues interplay dynamically, invoking a sense of depth and movement. Swift, expressive brushstrokes infuse the scene with energy, capturing the essence of the landscape in a captivatingly semi-abstract manner.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner canvas lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a scuff to its top edge (as shown in the close up photo) but this is not visible from the front and does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    Size: 60 x 80 cm (including frame)

  • By the White Houses

    £795

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A subtle and outstanding mid-century modernist style composition, 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 silhouettes of three female figures punctuate the foreground of the painting. Depicted in dark brown attire, they are the focal point of the composition as their colours contrast starkly against the lighter tones of the surrounding environment which portrays white buildings of differing heights, stretching out into the distance.

    The artist has used gentle and muted blocks of cream, taupe, white, with hints of brown. These soft colours create a subdued atmosphere, evoking a sense of tranquillity. The brushstrokes in the painting are gentle and smooth, creating a sense of calmness throughout the artwork.

  • Pears & Grapes

    £665

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A brilliantly executed mid-century still life painting in tempera, painted in 1953 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    In this excellent composition, two ripe pears and a bunch of grapes in a white bag are laid out on a wooden surface and contrasting against a dark-dotted backdrop.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail.

    The use of rich tempera hues lends depth and warmth to the scene. Every brushstroke is executed with precision, especially the intricate grain of the wood, contributing to the overall illusion of depth and form.

    This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting has some marks and surface imperfections, and the frame has very minor scuffs. Please note that there is some glare evident in the photos, due to the glossy surface of the painting.

    £410

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully executed and textured mid-century portrait composition, painted in oil onto board.

    The focal point of the painting is a figure standing upright, hands casually tucked into pockets. The figure’s face is turned slightly away from the viewer, suggesting a sense of aloofness.

    The background of the painting is a light pastel backdrop, consisting of patches of green, blue, and yellow. These soft hues provide a serene atmosphere.

    The artist has skilfully layered contrasting shades within the overall composition, adding depth and visual interest as well as a beautiful textural quality to the composition.

  • Patched

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very striking mid century modernist abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas around the 1960s.

    The painting is full of textural detail, as the artist has added an aggregate to certain areas (possibly sand or bitumen), creating a gritty and three dimensional effect in those areas. In other areas, large swathes of smooth creamy paint have been applied, in a restricted colour palette. The artist has worked in deep, rich tones and has used a myriad of curved forms to create the composition. There appears to be two figures, with one perhaps embracing another. However, the artist has chosen to focus on the formal elements of the picture such as shape, form and line, resulting in this largely abstract picture.

    This oil on canvas  is presented in a very well suited gilt frame. The painting has some light craquelure to the areas of impasto but the paint layer is very stable as shown in the close photos. It is in very good vintage condition overall.

    Size: 82 x 71cm (including frame)

    Set against a backdrop filled with blocks of contrasting colours including shades of brown, orange, cream, and black – two figures, one black and one white, emerge in a dance-like embrace.

    Painted in an abstract manner, the figures are devoid of realistic details, yet their expressive forms convey a sense of fluidity.

    The warmth emanating from the rich colour palette infuses the composition with a sense of energy and radiance. Short and expressive brushstrokes animate the figures, imbuing them with a dynamic quality that contrasts with the static setting.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a small nick to the bottom edge, as shown in the close up photo. No issues otherwise.

  • Jug & Fruits

    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A visually striking geometric abstract mid-century still life composition, executed in oil onto board.

    The painting features a jug and some fruits placed across a red surface, and set against a dark muted green backdrop.

    Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed and fragmented the scene down to distinct blocks of contrasting colours and bold outlines that interact with one another. Each respective shape seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.

    The use of contrasting rich shades highlights the three-dimensional qualities of each object, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.

    Furthermore, the expressive and distinct brushstrokes add a beautiful textural quality to the painting.   

    This oil on board is housed in a stunning wide-profile  frame that further elevates the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor paint losses but this suits its overall vintage look.

    A minimalist abstract composition that captivates with its simplicity and subtle complexity, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970 on verso.

    In the lower section, a solid block of forest green grounds the composition, representing the earth. A faint black line hovers above, suggestive of a horizon. Above this line, a serene block of cream fills the top half of the canvas, evoking a vast expanse of sky. At the pinnacle, a luminous white circle glows softly, reminiscent of a sun.

    While abstract in nature, the painting subtly suggests a landscape bathed in the light of a radiant sun. Its minimalistic composition and gradients echo the emotive resonance often found in the works of American abstract painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970), inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of light, space, and colour.

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