A W Wallis
Geometry in Abstraction, gouache by A W Wallis

c.1945

About the Item

A W Wallis Geometry in Abstraction Gouache 21 x 26 cm Signed to reverse Provenance: The family of A. E. Halliwell Little is known about the artist A W Wallis, though the fact that his teacher A.E Halliwell collected this painting suggests that he thought highly of his student. This painting features a series of striking geometric shapes. Despite these shapes all being extremely irregular, they fit together perfectly like pieces in a puzzle. Wallis makes use of contrasting patterns: wavy next to straight lines, circles next to squares, checkered colours next to plain blocks of colour. The shapes consequently jump from the page, leaving a strong lasting impression.
