Artist: Alan Davie (Scottish, 1920–2014)
Artwork: Untitled
Year: 1977
Medium: Black & white gouache on paper
Dimensions: 47 × 65 cm
Presentation: Framed
Alan Davie’s Untitled (1977) is a striking work on paper that demonstrates the Scottish artist’s distinctive approach to spontaneous mark-making and symbolic abstraction.
Executed in a bold monochrome palette, the composition brings together geometric panels, mysterious symbols and playful graphic forms. Keys, circular motifs and patterned shapes emerge throughout the work, creating an enigmatic visual language characteristic of Davie’s practice.
Stripped of the vibrant colour often associated with his paintings, this black and white work places particular emphasis on line, form and contrast, revealing the confidence and immediacy of Davie’s draughtsmanship.
A distinctive original work from an important period in the career of one of Britain’s most celebrated post-war abstract artists.
