About the Item
Dan Parry-Jones – Diver with Night Sky
Custom white frame
A striking fusion of memory, place, and graphic abstraction, “Diver with Night Sky” is a standout piece by British artist Dan Parry-Jones. In this evocative composition, a solitary diver is captured in profile—poised at the brink—against the dramatic backdrop of a star-studded night sky and glowing full moon.
Set within a vibrant, collage-like grid of painterly blocks and color fields, the figure appears both grounded and suspended. The bold vertical bands of burnt orange, ochre, blush pink, and aqua contrast beautifully with the deep celestial black of the sky, lending the piece a strong mid-century modern sensibility. Parry-Jones’s characteristic use of layered texture, sgraffito lines, and softened geometric structure gives the work a distinctly tactile and emotional feel.
This painting speaks to the threshold moments of childhood and summer—the anticipation, hesitation, and thrill of the unknown. Its dreamlike quality, paired with strong architectural structure, makes it a powerful focal point for modern interiors.
Whether viewed through the lens of nostalgia, design, or symbolism, Diver with Night Sky offers an arresting narrative and compositional balance, making it an ideal acquisition for collectors of contemporary figurative abstraction and emotionally charged visual storytelling.

DAN PARRY-JONES (b. 1971, United Kingdom) A textured bright colour palette and sweet nostalgic figures brimming with images of palm trees, swimming pools and timeless Palm Springs-like mountainous scenery are all ingredients mixed media artist Dan Parry-Jones uses to create his memorable works of art. A graduate of University of Derby (1994, BA Hons in Graphic Design) and Winchester School of Art (1991), Parry-Jones is fascinated by the relationship between the manmade and nature. Parry-Jones experiments with a style of painting that continues to evolve after spending time in Europe, particularly southern Spain; these new paintings juxtapose elements both organic and artificial, as panoramic mountain ranges provide a backdrop to flat, still pools and brightly painted walls. His work bears the same stylistic hallmarks that draw influence from Richard Dierbenkorn and Robert Rauschenburg, with shapes of flat colour set against highly textured areas where paint and glued paper has been scraped back to reveal many layers beneath. In sharp contrast to this scarred and sanded background, are sharply focused areas of screen-printed detail featuring his distinctively nostalgic subject matter; kids, cars, buildings, that bring the viewer back to a bygone time on the fringes of our memory. Dan Parry-Jones is based in Bristol, United Kingdom and is represented by DECORAZONgallery.
