Study for BOYD

'Study for BOYD' is a graphic exploration inspired by the work of mid-century architect Robin Boyd. Drawing from the bold interior palette and compositional clarity of Boyd’s Walsh Street house, this piece uses flat planes of ochre, teal, and brick red to suggest structure, harmony, and grounded elegance.

The vertically stacked lettering anchors the work, echoing Boyd’s commitment to thoughtful, honest design. As a study, this painting is a starting point—an abstract response to Boyd’s architectural ethos, with the potential to evolve into larger, more expansive pieces.
