Offered here is an exceptional, sequentially matched diptych pair of original mixed-media abstract works titled "MOAS I" and "MOAS II" by renowned British contemporary artist David Dodsworth.
Designed to be displayed alongside one another as a cohesive gallery statement, these mirroring compositions beautifully invert each other's layout. "MOAS I" features an upright triangle pointing skyward with a central turquoise diamond accent, while "MOAS II" features an inverted triangle pointing downward with a central turquoise circle. Both pieces are anchored by Dodsworth's signature horizontal relief band of polished metallic, calligraphic-style abstract embossing.
Collector’s Note on Condition and Provenance
This pair is a highly desirable acquisition for serious print collectors. Both sheets feature matching single-digit edition numbers, individually hand-inscribed by the artist as 3/150. In limited-edition printmaking, single-digit impressions represent the earliest pulls from the plates, yielding the crispest embossment lines, cleanest paper textures, and finest foil detailing. Both works are also hand-signed ("Dodsworth") and titled directly in gold ink on the margins of the sheets.
