"Ideas for a Shaman’s Wall No.4" (1993) by Alan Davie is an original oil on canvas artwork that delves into themes of spirituality, mysticism, and the natural world. Measuring 76.2 x 96.52 cm, this striking piece combines bold brushwork and a vivid colour palette, hallmarks of Davie’s distinctive abstract style. The artwork is framed and evokes a sense of ritual and energy, exploring the intersection of shamanic symbolism and abstract expressionism.
Davie’s work often integrates his fascination with cultural and spiritual traditions, and Ideas for a Shaman’s Wall No.4 is no exception. With dynamic shapes, energetic lines, and a rich interplay of colours, the piece invites viewers into a world of myth and transcendence. It’s a striking example of Davie’s ability to merge modern abstraction with spiritual themes, offering a powerful addition to any collection of post-war British modernism and abstract expressionism.
