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

The composition consists of two muted circular forms, each placed centrally within the upper and lower halves of the piece. The circles—soft pinkish and earthy reddish tones—are made from swatches of book covers, creating a tactile contrast against the rich, golden-brown marbled background.

The background evokes a sense of aged parchment or worn leather, enhancing the artwork’s connection to its literary origins. The precise placement of the circles introduces a sense of symmetry and contemplation, while the visible grain and patina of the materials speak to time, reuse, and the quiet endurance of objects past.

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

Geometric Collage with 4 Circles
£380
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

It features a vertical alignment of four textured circles—each a slightly different hue of earthy reds, browns, and burgundy—centred against a richly layered, abstract background of burnt orange, yellow, and sienna tones. The tactile surface gives a weathered, organic feel, and the texture of the book bindings adds depth and history to the composition.

The visual symmetry of the circles contrasts with the expressive and imperfect background, inviting viewers to reflect on order within disorder or harmony within age and decay.

Geometric Collage in Raw Umber

Sold

SOLD

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

The background is composed of a richly textured, raw umber surface made from aged book cloth, divided horizontally at its midpoint, enhancing the piece’s sense of structure and symmetry. The material bears the worn, mottled patina of time, evoking a tactile warmth and nostalgic depth.

Centrally placed is a vertical arrangement of nine small rectangles, each made from a different swatch of book cloth. These blocks vary in hue—soft blues, warm reds, ochres, deep burgundy, and neutral beige—and are carefully aligned to form a grid-like column. Their tight geometry contrasts with the organic wear of the background, creating visual tension and balance.

Geometric Abstract Collage in Rose

Sold

SOLD.

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

The surface is covered in faded rose-hued cloth, visibly aged with subtle textures, creases, and discoloration that speak to its previous life as part of a book cover. A horizontal seam running across the midline subtly divides the work, adding a sense of structure and time-worn narrative.

At the centre is a vertically oriented, geometric element: a column of interlocking trapezoid-like shapes made from different tones of book cloth—warm creams, deep burgundies, and soft pinks. These shapes form a slightly curved band, suggesting movement or tension, and are carefully aligned to echo the handmade precision of textile patchwork or marquetry.

Geometric Abstract Collage with Dots

Sold

SOLD

A very unique original artwork by British artist Dave Boyd, constructed from discarded books (repurposed cloth covers, papers, cardboard, binding boards) mounted on a wooden panel in a solid wood float frame, showcasing a harmonious balance of geometry, texture, and earthy tones.

The design features six evenly spaced circles arranged in two vertical columns—three white on the left and three shades of red on the right—against a textured warm brown background. The surface of the panel retains the subtle wear, creases, and grain of the original book cloth, giving the piece a tactile, aged quality that suggests both history and reuse.

The division of the background into top and bottom halves by a horizontal seam adds structural interest and hints at the collage-like assembly of materials.

Geometric Abstract in White

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

This piece reflects influences from Bauhaus design, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and modernist abstraction, celebrating simplicity, balance, and the beauty of imperfection. Its quiet elegance makes it a contemplative and visually soothing work.

The grid arrangement is asymmetrical, giving the piece a sense of modernist abstraction while maintaining an organic, handmade feel.

The rough, textured background and carefully arranged geometric shapes suggest an aesthetic influenced by wabi-sabi, Bauhaus, or modernist minimalism, emphasizing simplicity, imperfection, and material presence.
