Item Description:
An exceptional opportunity for fine art collectors to acquire a genuine, investment-grade original mixed-media piece by the collected British painter and ceramist, Mary Bourne BA (1949–2009).
Graduating with a Fine Art degree from the University of Hertfordshire in 1991, Bourne's distinct work is proudly represented by the prestigious McNeill Gallery of Contemporary Art. Her paintings are highly celebrated for their incredible depth, heavy textures, and unique integration of ceramic paint mediums. Notably, two of Bourne's prominent paintings hang in the permanent collection at the London Stock Exchange Building.
Art Style & Presentation:
Produced during her peak gallery era between 1991 and 2009, this piece is a textbook example of Mid-Century Inspired Abstract Expressionism with heavy Tactile Textural Art elements. Drawing stylistic inspiration from the whimsical geometry of Paul Klee and the cubist fragmentation of musical instruments, Bourne uses layered ceramic paints to create a striking, three-dimensional surface texture.
The masterwork features 4 miniature original mixed-media paintings, each measuring exactly 8cm x 8cm. They are beautifully unified and presented together in a single, professional multi-aperture window mount. Each window captures abstract representations of musical instruments, utilizing her signature play on rich, earthy tones and structural composition.
Housed in a premium gallery frame, this statement piece represents a beautiful, authenticated slice of late 20th-century British abstract art.
