A young boy, standing at the edge of a stylized pool, is caught mid-gesture as he adjusts his goggles—readying himself for a nighttime swim under a full moon. The scene is set against a moody, atmospheric sky, with layered textures and soft grids evoking both memory and motion. Parry-Jones’s signature approach to mixed media is on full display: architectural lines, worn surfaces, and bold color fields contrast with the delicate presence of the lone figure. His process merges screen print, collage, and acrylic paint, creating a compelling interplay between abstraction and narrative. The pool’s cool blues and the sky’s inky blacks are punctuated by mid-century-inspired color blocks, infusing the work with a sense of vintage California modernism. Both nostalgic and fresh, Night Swimmer with Goggles resonates with collectors drawn to contemporary figurative work, coastal themes, and the visual poetry of youth and solitude. A striking piece for interiors that value texture, mood, and refined storytelling. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
