Watercolour monotype, 29.5 x 28cm
Robbie Fife’s paintings and prints are carefully constructed, featuring an intriguing array of subjects including toy-like towers that become rockets, mysterious figures, and sharks. A course in Indian miniature painting, and the architecture of the Spanish landscape have profoundly influenced Robbie’s practice resulting in gently surreal works that are rich in surface pattern and narrative.
This framed watercolour monotype is part of a larger body which continues to explore Robbie’s interest in the rural life and mysterious characters of his homeland in North Yorkshire. Snails, birds, rats, eggs and men in flat caps - under the watchful gaze of flowers - all feature in these gently surreal images. ‘On the Snail Trail’ is reminiscent of Robbie’s previous lunar-style landscapes, but here, a snail’s trail leads the way through the rocks.
This unique work is numbered 1/1 and signed on the front - please see example image. Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
