• Geometric Abstract in Cinammon

    Geometric Abstract in Cinammon

    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 grid consists of six distinct blocks in a mix of muted blues, whites, grays, and earthy reds, contrasting subtly against the warm, burnt sienna or rust-colored background. 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. The painting has a calm, meditative quality, inviting contemplation of form, texture, and colour relationships.

    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,

    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.

  • Sheep on Pasture

    Sheep on Pasture

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small and engaging animal composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.

    This painting features a black sheep standing on a grassy hill, with a softly textured sky in the background. The composition is simple and uncluttered, capturing the folk-art style with a focus on form and texture.

    The sheep’s woolly body is large and rounded, painted in a deep black hue with subtle variations in shading to suggest texture and depth. Its head and legs are slender in contrast to its thick fleece, giving it a distinctive and charming presence. The sheep’s eye is small and expressive, conveying a calm, slightly watchful demeanour.

    The background consists of a gentle green field beneath a soft greyish-blue sky, both painted with a slightly weathered, textured quality that adds to the rustic charm of the piece.

    The painting is presented in a cream frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage 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.
