Naive Nautical Folk Art Painting With Narwhals And Steamship By Matt Rix

A charming folk art painting on board by British artist Matt Rix, this whimsical nautical scene is filled with warmth, colour, and character. Two creamy-white narwhals, their distinctive spiral horns carefully detailed, glide through a blue ocean flecked with white foam. Above them, an early steamship with sails crosses the horizon, releasing soft grey smoke from its tall funnel. A red flag flies at the stern, while small yellow pennants flutter from the mast tips, adding lively accents. The sky is washed in dusky pink tones, with two grey clouds and three stylised gulls in gentle flight. Measuring 54 cm x 42 cm, the painting is presented in a hand-painted wooden frame finished in brown with a gilt inner edge. The reverse is lined with a collage of antique papers, enhancing its crafted, tactile appeal. Beautifully presented and ready to hang, this work captures Rix’s distinctive folk art style and affection for maritime subjects.
