Original Surreal Student-Style Painting, Watercolour and Ink

£145.00

A striking one-off find, this large watercolour and ink painting is full of raw energy and surreal character studies. Likely created as student exam work, the piece carries an expressive, almost theatrical style, with distorted faces, exaggerated features, and vivid colour contrasts.

Unattributed and unsigned, it remains an authentic piece of outsider-style art with plenty of atmosphere. The figures are rendered in a way that feels part grotesque, part playful, layered with detail and personality.

Medium: watercolour and ink on paper

Origin: found piece, no artist name

Condition: good vintage/student work condition, light handling marks consistent with storage

Dimensions: approx. 42 cm x 58 cm (16.5 x 22.8 in)

Era: likely late 20th or early 21st century, student practice or exam board work
