Bengal Tiger Facing Left Original Folk Art Painting On Board By Matt Rix

This original painting by Matt Rix depicts a Bengal tiger facing left, shown in side profile with a calm forward gaze that conveys quiet attentiveness and presence. Set against a soft pale grey-blue sky with lush green ground, the composition feels balanced and gently expressive. Painted in a distinctive naïve folk art style, the tiger’s markings are simplified yet instantly recognisable, celebrating character over realism. The work is created on board using reclaimed household paints and is presented in a black-painted reclaimed frame with a gilt inner edge. Antique backing papers add warmth and subtle texture. Signed by the artist, this painting works beautifully on its own and also complements the related tiger painting facing the opposite direction, together forming a harmonious pair. Matt Rix is an emerging British folk artist whose work is collected internationally.
