Bengal Tiger Facing Right Original Folk Art Painting On Board by Matt Rix

This original folk art painting by Matt Rix depicts a Bengal tiger shown in calm side profile, facing right beneath a pale grey-blue sky. Standing firmly on rich green ground, the tiger’s form is defined by confident, simplified markings, rendered with a direct hand.

Painted on board using reclaimed household paints, the work has a strong sense of material honesty and quiet character. It is presented in a reclaimed wooden frame, painted black with a subtle gilt inner edge and lined with antique backing papers that add depth, texture, and history.

Signed by the artist, this piece balances strength and stillness, making it a striking standalone work. While it pairs beautifully with its companion tiger painting, it holds its own as a thoughtful original.

Matt Rix is an emerging British folk artist known for his timeless naïve paintings of animals, portraits, and nautical scenes, with work held in private collections worldwide.
