Artist: Alan Davie (Scottish, 1920–2014)
Artwork Title: Yoru No.2
Medium: Works on paper / Gouache on Paper
Dimensions: 101.5cm x 77cm
Description : Alan Davie’s Yoru No.2 is a vibrant work on paper that showcases the Scottish artist’s unmistakable visual language of colour, symbolism and spontaneous mark-making.
Executed in gouache, the composition brings together bold organic forms, rhythmic patterns and mysterious symbols, including the striking concentric target motif. Layers of vivid purple, yellow, blue, green and red give the work a powerful sense of movement, while expressive drips and gestural marks retain the immediacy of Davie’s creative process.
Influenced by mythology, ancient cultures, spirituality, jazz and the subconscious, Davie developed a deeply personal vocabulary of signs and symbols throughout his career. Yoru No.2 is a particularly energetic example of this approach, balancing controlled graphic imagery with the freedom and spontaneity for which his work became internationally recognised.
