Hungapangalow

mixed media on photo collage

An amalgamation of words the subject, the hero, meditates and wonders what to do next. It is blue, but that is its naturally colouring. In reality it is a starving pangolin that lives in a one storey dwelling.



Come back soon for more exhibition news add info on new artworks that are soon to be added to my site, there might even be a story if you are good...

Bent Pig

acrylic & chinagraph pencil

on canvas


The swine has dodged the bullet. Self-preservation and self-defence the pig avoids the bolt at the abattoir. Her and her kind are bred to be eaten, a victim of genetic manipulation going back to her grandparents and much further beyond that. If released from captivity would the domesticated pig eventually reach its wild original state? Would it become a boar? An abstracted representation of a beast.


Horse

Acrylic, oil pastel & conte crayon

on paper


The elements of a horse from the front, thick gestural lines of conte crayon on a brighter background. Large strokes of white acrylic paint to enhance the form of the horse. Abstracted animal.



Other artworks are of course on display on art4oka.com


D31 Art Gallery have web pages for the online version of the Autumn Open Exhibition:


Yaksad

Acrylic, conte crayon & ballpoint pen

on paper


Derived from a yak and musk ox. Heavy pen marks and balanced colours. The long, heavy coat of the beast protects it from most of the harsh weather. Is it hard to be happy when you are so cold?



Yaksad is being shown virtually. www.D31artgallery.com


....more news soon.
