Art Brut Mixed Media Canvas Doll Figure Assemblage

Updated August 23, 2026

Contemporary Art Brut / Outsider Art mixed media assemblage on stretched canvas, featuring heavy impasto paint in teal, metallic gold, blue, and brown surrounding a central miniature bisque doll figure. Unsigned. Artwork 16 x 20 in Collector's Note: This contemporary mixed media assemblage features a miniature doll figure suspended in a swirling, heavily textured impasto background. The piece contrasts delicate porcelain with bold, gestural brushwork. Symbolically, the composition explores themes of vulnerability, isolation, and spiritual reflection, utilizing a central, shrine-like layout that evokes traditional religious iconography and reliquaries while juxtaposing fluid energy against a rigid, immobile central subject.
