Naive Sockeye Salmon Painting Folk Art In Hand Painted Frame By Matt Rix

This charming folk art painting by British artist Matt Rix features a Sockeye Salmon, rendered in a naive, nostalgic style that harks back to the tradition of fishermen commissioning portraits of their most prized catches. Painted on board, the salmon is shown in classic side profile, with its distinctive salmon pink and green markings carefully depicted. A striking yellow eye adds character and life to the fish, while the muted grey background ensures the subject remains the clear focal point. Labelled “Sockeye Salmon” in black painted lettering along the lower portion of the painting, the work evokes a sense of bygone eras and heritage. It is presented in a hand-painted brown wooden frame with a gilt inner edge, lending a touch of understated elegance. The reverse is lined with antique papers and comes ready to hang. This piece is one of a pair currently on offer.
