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. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
