About the Item
“Two Divers Overcast Sky” is a captivating work by British contemporary artist Dan Parry-Jones, whose mixed-media paintings explore memory, landscape, and the emotive power of place. In this composition, Parry-Jones captures the tension and beauty of a fleeting summer moment—two small diver figures poised midair against a brooding, weather-washed sky.
The divers, stylized and semi-abstract, are suspended in motion above a layered backdrop of cool greys, dusky blues, and washed-out pastels. The sky dominates the composition with a moody elegance, suggesting the unpredictability of coastal weather and the thrill of freedom that comes with diving into the unknown. Beneath the figures, subtle architectural forms and painterly grids add structure to the space, creating a visual push and pull between the built world and nature.
Parry-Jones’s signature blend of graphic stenciling, scraped textures, and intuitive mark-making lends the piece a sense of both timelessness and modern design. The contrast between the lightness of the figures and the atmospheric palette creates a subtle narrative—one that hints at childhood, risk, and memory suspended in air.
A bold yet contemplative statement piece, Two Divers Overcast Sky is perfect for collectors who appreciate figurative abstraction, poetic storytelling, and a modernist aesthetic with emotional depth.

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.
