A celebrated figure in post-war British abstraction, Davie’s work often explored themes of mythology, spirituality, and primal instincts. "Basket of Serpents" embodies these interests, with its vivid color palette and dynamic brushworkevoking a sense of tension and movement. The serpents, symbolic of transformation and danger, are rendered through an abstract lens, inviting the viewer to explore their own interpretations of the piece’s deeper meanings.

This original work offers collectors a unique opportunity to own an important piece from Davie’s later career, rich in symbolism and energy.
