A W Wallis
Geometry in Abstraction

Gouache
21 x 26 cm
Signed to reverse
Provenance: The family of A. E. Halliwell

Little is known about the artist A W Wallis, though the fact that his teacher A.E Halliwell collected this painting suggests that he thought highly of his student. This painting features a series of striking geometric shapes. Despite these shapes all being extremely irregular, they fit together perfectly like pieces in a puzzle. Wallis makes use of contrasting patterns: wavy next to straight lines, circles next to squares, checkered colours next to plain blocks of colour. The shapes consequently jump from the page, leaving a strong lasting impression.

Condition: Generally very good.
