Paper Abstract Diptych

Raw, geometric forms and layered textures define Dan Hobday's sophisticated Paper Abstract Diptych. A compelling choice for a contemporary study or minimalist living space, the composition balances warm sandy neutrals with sharp charcoal accents for a grounded, artisanal feel. The interplay of torn-edge effects and translucent washes creates a sense of tactile depth that feels both modern and timeless. To ground the bold black elements and provide a sharp, gallery-worthy finish, a black frame would be a standout choice.

Dan Hobday produces original, hand-painted artwork from his home studio. Dan has a passion for minimal, contemporary art; working in inks, acrylics, digital and mixed media, his diverse style spans a broad spectrum of subjects.

Artwork description: This horizontal set features two vertical designs centred on a collage-like arrangement of various textures and shapes. The first panel showcases a large central section of warm tan overlaid with translucent white washes and intersected by several sharp, horizontal black bars and fine vertical pinstripes. The second panel mirrors this aesthetic with a large, off-white triangular form layered over a tan background, punctuated by gestural dark brown swoops and a heavy black rectangular block. Both pieces utilise subtle sketched lines and a muted palette to suggest the appearance of layered, torn paper.
