About the Item
Dan Parry-Jones – Swimmer with Orange Armbands
Mixed Media on Panel 38.5 x 38.5 in (80 x 80 cm)
White custom frame included
"Swimmer with Orange Armbands" is a striking mixed-media painting by British contemporary artist Dan Parry-Jones, known for blending urban structure, nostalgic imagery, and painterly abstraction. In this vibrant square-format piece, Parry-Jones captures the fleeting essence of summer through a powerful contrast of graphic design and emotional resonance.
At the center of the work is a small, abstracted figure of a child in swimwear and bright orange armbands, carefully rendered in a stenciled blue silhouette. The child appears momentarily paused, set against a warm, sandy field edged by a crisp, geometric plane of pale aqua. The background explodes with bold pop references—oversized red and yellow polka dots, pastel pink textures, and vertical stripes—evoking memories of beach towels, ice cream wrappers, and sun-faded seaside signage.
This work encapsulates Parry-Jones’s signature aesthetic: a collision of memory, architecture, and vintage print culture, wrapped in rich surface textures and evocative color. Despite the abstract format, the subject remains accessible and emotionally charged—an intimate snapshot of innocence, movement, and sunlit freedom.
An ideal statement piece for collectors seeking playful yet sophisticated modern art, Swimmer with Orange Armbands brings together nostalgia, bold design, and narrative abstraction. A beautiful fit for contemporary interiors, mid-century palettes, and design-forward spaces.

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.
