Alan Davie – Basket of Serpents

"Basket of Serpents" by Alan Davie is a striking oil on canvas painting, priced at £7,000. Created in 1996, this original piece measures 96 x 117 cm and comes framed.

A celebrated figure in post-war British abstraction, Davie’s work often explored themes of mythology, spirituality, and primal instincts. "Basket of Serpents" embodies these interests, with its vivid color palette and dynamic brushworkevoking a sense of tension and movement. The serpents, symbolic of transformation and danger, are rendered through an abstract lens, inviting the viewer to explore their own interpretations of the piece’s deeper meanings.

Davie’s art remains influential for its ability to convey emotion through abstract form, and "Basket of Serpents" is a powerful example of his mastery in balancing complexity and simplicity. This original work offers collectors a unique opportunity to own an important piece from Davie’s later career, rich in symbolism and energy.
