Rune Reader I and II (Two Prints)
Alan Davie's "Rune Reader I and II" comprises two large scale screenprints from 2001 that showcase the Scottish artist's characteristic fusion of abstraction, mysticism, and gestural mark making. The paired works, each measuring 800 by 875 millimeters, employ vibrant colour and dynamic compositions that reflect Davie's lifelong interest in primitive symbols, jazz music, and spontaneous creation. Published by Gresham Studios in Cambridge as part of an edition of 30, these signed and numbered prints represent Davie's continued exploration of visual language that transcends conventional representation.
