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

At the centre rests a compact grid of sixteen coloured squares, arranged with quiet precision like a carefully balanced colour study. Deep crimson, burgundy, dusty rose, coral, warm brown, charcoal, soft ivory, and blush tones are thoughtfully interwoven, creating a rhythmic interplay of warm hues and subtle tonal contrasts. The symmetrical arrangement lends the work a sense of order, while the varied textures within each square preserve its handmade character.

The surrounding reclaimed materials lend the work remarkable depth and character, as it provides a tactile counterpoint to the crisp geometry of the coloured grids. The generous negative space lends the work a sense of calm, while the contrast between the orderly geometry and the organic imperfections of the reclaimed surface creates a quiet yet compelling tension.

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.

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

This Dave Boyd work is a refined meditation on balance, material memory, and geometry, crafted from objects that once held stories, now transformed into something more abstract and contemplative.

In it we have a vertical alignment of four softly rendered circles anchors the piece, each one subtly distinct in tone. hey sit in perfect balance, like a totemic sequence or visual rhythm, guiding the eye gently downward.

The background is richly textured. Faded ochres, worn browns, and chalky whites create a weathered, timeworn surface. Horizontal marks and abrasions hint at handling, storage, and history. A visible seam across the middle quietly reveals its constructed, layered origin.

You can almost feel the past life of the materials which have been handled, read, discarded, and reimagined.

The artwork is presented in wood frame that suits it very well. It has been constructed with professional grade adhesive and is shipped with robust fixings, ready to hang. Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

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.

Centred in the upper half is a soft pinkish-orange circle, and in the lower half, a deep maroon or burgundy circle, both crisply defined but softly textured. The background is a heavily textured rust-brown surface, almost like oxidized metal or aged earth. It’s speckled with natural-looking marks, scuffs, and tonal variation, creating a sense of history and  suggesting time, wear, and process.

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 board is coated in a fabric with a soft terracotta tone, with a gentle patina of age, scored with faint horizontal lines and slight textural inconsistencies. These marks give the surface a worn, handmade feeling.

The composition features a precisely placed rectangle made up of six vertical blocks, arranged in two rows. The blocks alternate between cool and warm reds, dusty pinks, and maroons. Each has a varied textile texture, inviting tactile interpretation.

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.

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 checkerboard design is asymmetrically positioned, drawing attention to its placement within the larger composition. The use of muted greens and neutral tones adds a natural, organic feel, bringing attention to the age of the fabric.

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.
