Totem, oil on canvas 101 x 120 x 3 cm
Totem, the spirit in me. I draw on your courage and strength. I will trust my instincts I will tread my own path… I follow a Tiger Totem.
Be fearless, face the day and roar. I follow a Tiger Totem and will not be broken. I look to the stars and know you walk with me. Totem
Totem is a contemporary painting using abstract expressionist techniques juxtaposed against fine art detail. The painting is full of dynamic energy and texture. Totem has been created using free movement of fluid paint to define the shape of the Tiger then enhanced with strong palette knifed areas of colour. Thickly applied strokes of oil paint represent the shaggy coat of the big cat whilst small gold flecks add depth and interest to the painting. The Tigers tail twitches in anticipation behind him.The painting is bold and vivid and captures the power and fearlessness in the Tigers pose. It is Hypnotic. Totem is ready to hang
