A very endearing and engaging canine composition of a Dachshund, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel by British artist Matt Rix.
The dog is shown in profile, standing proudly with its signature long body, short legs, and alert expression. Its smooth black coat is accented with warm reddish-brown markings on the muzzle, chest, and paws, giving it both character and charm.
The background sets the scene indoors: a mustard-yellow paneled wall, a simple white-trimmed window revealing green hills and blue sky outside, and a purple floor that provides a playful contrast to the dog’s dark coat. The composition is clean and geometric, with flat planes of color that emphasize shape and form rather than detail.
This oil on board is housed in a black frame with inner gilt detail. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.
