Naive and primitive art is characterised by a lack of formal academic training, resulting in flattened perspectives, simplified proportions, and a direct, unpretentious aesthetic that captures the authentic character of the subject.

These works typically utilise watercolour or gouache on paper or cardstock, housed behind glass within handcrafted wooden frames, often made from local timbers such as maple, pine, or burl wood.

Authenticity is determined by examining the age of the paper, the oxidation of the pigments, hand-cut framing elements, and historical backing materials such as old boards or handmade paper seals.

These pieces provide a focal point of historic character and can be hung on a gallery wall or placed on a narrow shelf to contrast cleanly with contemporary neutral walls.

Works on paper must be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of watercolours, maintained in stable humidity conditions, and ideally framed with acid-free conservation materials.
