FAQs

Naive art is characterised by a rejection of formal academic perspective and proportions, often created by self-taught artists with a focus on direct expression, flat planes of colour, and honest storytelling.

These works typically utilise oil or watercolour paint applied to canvas, wooden panels, or board, often housed within heavy, hand-crafted wooden or gilt frames characteristic of the period.

Authentication involves examining the ageing of the canvas or wood panel, craquelure in the paint surface, hand-cut nails or joinery in the frame, and the type of pigments used consistent with historical periods.

These pieces provide warmth and character when hung salon-style on neutral walls, paired with minimalist furnishings to highlight the raw, unpretentious qualities of the artwork.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity fluctuations. Clean only with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and avoid chemical solvents or moisture on the paint surface.
