Oil on canvas with iridescent embellishment and gold leaf — 23 x 23 cm framed
"Painted intuitively rather than precisely — each piece is expressive and textured, with a raw, gestural quality that gives it life and energy over technical perfection."
Two peacocks, facing one another. There is a stillness to this composition that feels almost ceremonial — like a moment held just before something happens. The warm ochre ground and gold leaf beneath give the whole piece a sense of candlelight and theatre, while the textured oil work brings each bird fully to life. Whether this is rivalry or courtship is entirely up to you. Either way, it is a painting full of presence. A beautiful pairing with the others in The Golden Court, or a striking standalone piece in its own right.
This piece is currently in its final stages and will be ready for dispatch in June. By purchasing now, you are reserving this artwork ahead of its completion. Each piece is carefully finished, including professional varnishing, to ensure it reaches you in its highest quality. Thank you for your patience while I prepare your artwork with the attention it deserves.
✨ All three pieces are available as a collection for £400 — a special collector's price.
