Geometric Collage in Magenta

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.

At the heart of the artwork is a vertical grid of six alternating squares—three light cream/beige and three darker maroon/burgundy, forming a checkerboard column. The varying texture of these squares displays the woven materials wonderfully, contrasting with the flatness of the background.

The entire surface is a deep, muted red, subtly distressed to reveal horizontal striations and small imperfections. These faint abrasions and vertical marks break the uniformity, suggesting time, wear, and process.

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.

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.
