OLD ENGLISH LONGHORN
Size: 12 x 12 inches
Oil on panel
A small and engaging animal composition , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix.
The painting features a black and white longhorn cow standing on a softly rolling green hill against a light, muted sky. The cow is shown in side profile, with a calm expression and simple, expressive eyes. Its large curved horns give it a distinctive presence, emphasizing its strength and elegance.
This painting is a charming, rustic folk-art piece that celebrates rural life with a focus on simple forms and earthy colours. The calm presence of the cow, combined with the soft landscape, creates a warm, nostalgic feel, making it a beautiful and timeless representation of pastoral life.
This oil is painted onto panel which although unframed, is meant to be hung as is. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.
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.
