  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Off to the Theatre

    Sold

    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.

  • Radiate

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and dynamic mid century modernist abstract mixed media composition, painted onto board.

    Using a rich colour palette that consists primarily of shades of red as well as touches of green and orange, this abstract painting is composed of circular patterns. These circles of different sizes, appear to be enveloping outwards and it imbues the painting with a distinct energy, rhythm and movement.

    Thick layers of paint have been applied, and the painterly and expressive brushstrokes add a lovely textural quality to the work.

    This mixed media on board is housed in a white wood frame. There are scattered areas of paint loss across the painting (especially at the top left corner) as well as the frame (particularly to the right outside side).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Exterior (Very Large)

    Sold

    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.

    The painting is housed in a simple frame that suits its modern look. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The painting has some minor paint loss to the outer edges but these are very inconspicuous due to the style of the painting. The paint layer is very stable overall.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Winter Birch

    Sold

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An exceptionally executed and very detailed mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil in 1945.

    This painting is an absolute joy to look at, with a wonderful array of delicate details. There is a softness to the piece, created through the use of gentle, short intricate brushwork and a mellow palette.  A wooded landscape filled with silver birch trees leads our eyes inward to a river to the right side of the composition.  Little white flowers dot around the base of the trees, and a background of soft brown alludes to the woods going on far into the distance.

    This picturesque and beautifully painted picture is housed in an equally stunning frame. This robust frame has a very deep profile and lovely distressed effect. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • 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.

    A wonderfully painted everyday scene of a lively fishing village in Skane, Sweden, painted in 1946.

  • 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.

  • Mellow 1

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size: 27 x 32 cm (including frame)

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