exemplifies Underwood’s unique contribution to Contemporary British Art, where dreamlike imagery and precise craftsmanship meet to create works that are both visually arresting and psychologically intriguing.
In Ruby Fish, Underwood presents a poised figure adorned with an extraordinary, fish like headdress — a motif that reflects his fascination with myth, identity and transformation. The muted background and controlled palette allow the bold red form to dominate the composition, drawing the viewer into a world that feels at once familiar and fantastical. His disciplined draughtsmanship and subtle handling of tone give the piece a quiet authority, reinforcing Underwood’s reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in British Art today.
Collectors of Contemporary Figurative Art will appreciate the painting’s balance of surreal invention and classical structure. Underwood’s work continues to resonate for its originality, emotional depth and unmistakable visual language.
