Artist: Alan Davie (Scottish, 1920–2014)
Artwork: Untitled
Medium: Mixed Media on Paper
Dimensions: 78 × 103 cm
This substantial work on paper is a compelling example of Alan Davie’s distinctive approach to colour, symbolism and intuitive image-making.
The composition brings together a series of enigmatic forms, letters and geometric motifs across softly worked fields of blue, pink, cream and violet. Individual elements appear almost like fragments of an unknown alphabet, creating a visual language that feels playful yet deliberately mysterious.
Davie’s fascination with ancient symbols, mythology and the subconscious informed much of his practice. Rather than assigning his imagery a fixed meaning, he allowed forms to emerge instinctively, encouraging the viewer to make their own associations and interpretations.
At over a metre wide, this Untitled work has significant presence while retaining the spontaneity and intimacy of Davie’s works on paper. It is a strong example of the artist’s instantly recognisable visual language.
Price: POA
