Matt Rix
Contemporary Modernist Original Naïve Style Animal Oil Painting - White Cat

2020s

About the Item

WHITE CAT Size: 28 x 28 cm (including frame) 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 white cat sitting gracefully against a simple, flat background of earthy brown and muted green. The cat is the central figure, depicted in a front-facing pose with its body in profile and head turned toward the viewer. Its curled tail is tucked neatly around its body, adding a sense of balance and symmetry. The cat’s facial features are minimal but expressive, with light blue eyes, a small pink nose, and faint whiskers. The painting exudes a quiet elegance and calm, capturing the essence of a cat’s poised demeanor with minimalist charm. Its simplicity and balance make it visually striking and emotionally soothing. This oil on board is housed in a simple black wood frame which suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some light marks but is in very 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.
