About the Item
BLACK CAT
Size: 35 x 29 cm
Oil on board
A small and engaging portrait composition, painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.
This painting features a black cat reclining in a relaxed position, set against a minimalist two-tone background. The work is framed in a round black frame, enhancing its folk-art charm and giving it a portrait-like quality.
The black cat is shown lying down with its front legs extended and tail curled around. It has a calm, observant expression. Vivid green eyes stand out against the black fur, giving the cat an alert and slightly mystical appearance.
The painting has a serene and slightly mysterious atmosphere. The strong color contrasts and centered composition make the cat the focal point, while the circular frame adds a unique, almost medallion-like quality. It’s both whimsical and elegant—perfectly capturing the quiet power and grace of a black cat.
This oil on board is housed in a black oval frame. The painting is in excellent condition, and the frame has some light marks but is in good condition overall.
British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.
Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.
