Figure in Dark Landscape
$1,109.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A large and very striking mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lovatt (1937-2018).

This vibrant gouache painting showcases an abstract, expressive portrait of a figure, executed with energetic, gestural lines and a vivid colour palette.

Dominated by electric blues, purples, reds, greens, and black, with accents of yellow, pink, and white. The intense use of colour creates a dynamic, almost chaotic atmosphere. The central figure is constructed with a loose, overlapping web of continuous, scribbled lines. The facial features—particularly the eyes—are more defined yet still fragmented, conveying a sense of complexity and introspection.

The painting exudes intensity and vulnerability, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional landscape behind the fragmented human figure.

The painting is presented within in a card mount and a ochre wooden frame with silver leaf detailing, and is protected behind perspex. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. The painting has very small losses to upper corners of paper as seen in the photos.

Enos Lovatt (1937–2018) studied at Burslem School of Art and the Royal College of Art (1959–1962) before becoming Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Staffordshire Polytechnic until 1992. A prolific artist, he worked in oils, gouache, acrylics, ceramics, and biro, leaving behind thousands of works. He exhibited sporadically, including solo shows in City Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, one man shows at the Paton and Woodstock Galleries in London and at Stafford Museum and Art Gallery.

Much of Enos’ work on paper from the 1950s to 1970s uses gouache, often in tandem with other media. Gouache allowed his joy and passion for colour to shine. Enos’ work straddled the worlds of figurative and abstracted art as he dipped into both with equal enthusiasm.

Size: 83 x 63 cm (including frame)

A large and vibrant mid century modernist composition in gouache, by British artist Enos Lvoatt (1937-2018).

A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board in 1965 by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a glass vase adorned with delicate white floral patterns, a collection of green pears—some resting on a blue dish and others scattered on the wooden surface—and a gracefully curved branch with a golden autumn leaf. The background includes an arched doorway leading to a softly lit room, with a checkered floor adding a geometric contrast to the organic shapes of the fruit and vase.

Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of surrealism and realism through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

The colour palette is rich, and the artist has skilfully used subtle gradations of tone to suggest volume, particularly in the glass vase and pears.

The brushstrokes are precise, smooth and clean – emphasising the flatness of the shapes and contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic of flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.

This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has water marks and wear across its inner border, and has some light scuffing present as well.

Rising Grey Green
$1,109.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An engaging and powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated 2024 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.

This oil on linen board is housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Size: 50 x 40 cm (including frame)

Surrealist Still Life
$1,705.00
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A brilliantly executed and characterful surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

The main focus is a still life arrangement, where the objects are flatly rendered, with strong outlines and solid colours, giving them a stylized, almost graphic appearance. The still life is set against a dramatic landscape featuring dark, jagged rock formations and a glowing yellow-orange sky. The horizon line is low, creating a sense of vastness and emphasizing the glowing sunset or sunrise. Two distant rocky outcrops are visible on the horizon, adding depth and a touch of realism.

This painting is a striking combination of still life and landscape, juxtaposing the intimate simplicity of fruit and household objects with the grandeur and drama of a glowing, otherworldly landscape. The bold use of colour and form creates a stylized and dynamic composition, blending realism with abstraction. It evokes a sense of harmony between the everyday and the sublime.

This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, but is in good condition overall.

Size: 29.5 x 34 cm (including frame)
