£0.00

Artist: Alan Davie (Scottish, 1920–2014)


Artwork:Exotic Table


Year: 1994


Edition: Original


Medium: Oil on canvas


Dimensions: 76 × 100 cm


Presentation: Framed

Alan Davie’s Exotic Table (1994) is a richly detailed original oil painting that embodies the artist’s unmistakable visual language of symbols, colour and spontaneous mark-making.

The composition is alive with cryptic signs, numbers, abstract forms and almost totemic imagery, surrounding a vivid blue table scattered with curious objects. Intense passages of orange, red, blue and purple give the work an extraordinary sense of energy, while its densely layered imagery invites continual discovery.

Davie drew inspiration from an eclectic range of sources, including mythology, ancient cultures, music and the subconscious. Exotic Table is a particularly compelling example of this approach, combining the freedom of abstraction with a fascinating, almost narrative world of symbols and imagined objects.

A substantial original work by one of Scotland’s most important post-war artists.
