Nicholas Byrne
The Cave, 2018
£6,800
Nicholas Byrne’s paintings often stage a transaction between the figure, design and abstraction. Reminiscent of an era of British painting in which the figure was somewhat brutalised or partly abstracted, as with the work of Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon and Leon Kossoff, This painting is typical of the artist's practice with the form of a head existing within a form of pattern and abstraction.
Finishing
Oil on gessoed panel in artist's frame
