Alfred Wallis, a self-taught artist and former mariner, is celebrated for his distinctive and evocative paintings that capture the essence of the sea and coastal life. One of his notable works, "Boat," exemplifies his unique approach to art, characterized by a raw, unpolished style that conveys a deep connection to his maritime experiences. Wallis began painting in his seventies, using materials he had at hand, such as cardboard and ship's paint, which contributed to the textured and often rough appearance of his works.

"Boat" is a quintessential example of Wallis's oeuvre, reflecting his intimate knowledge of boats and the sea. His paintings are often devoid of strict perspective, instead presenting a flattened, almost childlike view that emphasizes the subject's emotional resonance over technical accuracy. This approach allows viewers to engage with the work on a more instinctual level, feeling the movement of the waves and the sturdiness of the boat as if they were part of the scene themselves.

Wallis's use of color in "Boat" is both simplistic and striking, with bold, contrasting hues that bring the vessel and its surroundings to life. His palette typically includes deep blues, earthy browns, and stark whites, which together create a vivid maritime atmosphere. The simplicity of his compositions belies a sophisticated understanding of form and space, making his work accessible yet profoundly moving.

"Boat" and other works by Wallis gained recognition largely through the efforts of artists associated with the St Ives School, such as Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who discovered Wallis in the late 1920s. They admired his untrained yet deeply authentic style, which they saw as a refreshing departure from the more formal and academic approaches to art. Today, Wallis's paintings are celebrated for their originality and emotional depth, offering a unique window into the life and soul of a man who spent much of his life at sea.
