This abstract work offers a bold interpretation of the everyday image of cows, where the recognisable shapes and lines lose themselves in the freedom of paint. Consequently, this is the most abstract work of mine.
Instead of realism, this painting is a journey through imagination, where the essence of the animal is only vaguely suggested by vague outlines and unusual colours. The cows' presence comes from the imagination of the viewer, who is challenged to look beyond abstraction and recognise something of the familiar. The shapes, which do not strictly adhere to the natural world, play with the boundaries of abstraction and give the viewer space to make their own meaning of the work. This is an artwork that stimulates the senses and invites one to play with the visual and emotional interpretation of nature, while highlighting the power of abstraction as a means of penetrating deeper into reality.
