50 × 60cm. Original oil painting on slim edge canvas, ready to hang.
Wild Kinship brings the human and animal worlds together in a dense, colourful composition of leopard, parrots, flowers and foliage.
The figures overlap and weave into their surroundings, while areas of detailed painting sit against looser marks and graphic botanical lines. Rather than presenting the woman and animals as separate subjects, the composition allows them to inhabit the same visual space, connected through colour, pattern and repeated forms.
At its heart, the painting grew from a fascination with our relationship with wildlife and the sense of recognition and curiosity that can exist when we encounter another living creature.
