Wild times

Acrylic, pencil and spray paint on canvas.

This piece is from my 'wild' series, which are about nature wearing the colours of man like war paint, trying to adapt to man's intervention. The fluorescent paint also looks like energy radiating from the animal, as it is painted on the places I find most intense, usually around the eyes, radiating down the neck - wherever there is tension. Here their colours are rising up and out of the painting, as the situation they are in is so intense it is like their energy and aura almost goes beyond themselves. Stags bucking is also a powerful symbol of the male ego.
