A striking folk art painting on board by british artist matt rix, depicting a large blue marlin in vivid, expressive detail. The marlin’s powerful form is captured with characteristic markings — deep dark blue fins and upper body, a vibrant yellow band running along its midsection, and bold vertical stripes that bring the fish to life. Its sharp, pointed nose and open mouth add a sense of motion and energy, as though the marlin is cutting through the deep sea.
set against a rich, textured blue background, the composition is both dramatic and decorative, showcasing rix’s distinctive folk art style. The painting is presented in a hand-painted wooden frame, finished in black with a gilt inner edge, adding a touch of classic elegance. The reverse is lined with a collage of antique backing papers, a thoughtful detail that reflects the artist’s craftsmanship.
signed by the artist, this unique piece is ready to hang and measures 61cm x 31cm. A superb decorative statement — especially appealing to fishing enthusiasts and lovers of coastal or nautical-themed art.
