Artist: Alan Davie (Scottish, 1920–2014)
Artwork: Untitled
Medium: Gouache on Paper
Dimensions: 75 × 87 cm
This vibrant work on paper is a striking example of Alan Davie’s fascination with symbols, signs and invented visual languages.
Against a vivid yellow ground, Davie constructs a playful composition dominated by a large pink organic form filled with striped, curved and geometric motifs. Handwritten text runs across the upper section of the work, while two small figures appear below, giving the composition an intriguing sense of scale and narrative.
The visible drips, splashes and irregular painterly marks are integral to the work, retaining the spontaneity and physicality of Davie’s process. Rather than presenting a fixed meaning, the imagery encourages interpretation, reflecting the artist’s longstanding interest in mythology, ancient symbols and subconscious image-making.
Bold, humorous and enigmatic, this Untitled gouache is a highly characteristic example of Davie’s distinctive approach.
Price: POA
