Alan Davie

Cueva Negra; Sonik Sin and Haveth High (Three Prints)

This triptych of screenprints by Scottish artist Alan Davie showcases his characteristic abstract expressionist language, combining gestural mark making with symbolic imagery inspired by his interest in jazz, mythology, and ritual. Created in 2000-2001 and published by the respected Gresham Studios in Cambridge, the three large-scale works on wove paper demonstrate Davie's continued engagement with expressive colour and dynamic composition throughout his prolific career. The edition of 30 places these works within the artist's broader printmaking practice, which paralleled his celebrated paintings and drawings from the late 20th century.
