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
