About this painting
Painted for a competition with the theme of Moving, this depicts the precarious ecological position of the tiger. In this painting the tiger is moving to oblivion.
A tiger leaps, yet stays still. Made from rock but also alive, and yet leaping towards the sunset and the eclipse of extinction. A falling figure reinforces this message. The larger black arc and the black sphere divides the picture, making it the abstract shape of a tiger's head. The stripes hide a hidden falling man, which echo the falling man in the waterfall, falling into a red sea of blood and turmoil. A warning perhaps. Far away and long ago, a hunter, also cast in red, but perhaps this time the red ochre of a cave painting, a distant memory of a time when tigers hunter humans almost to the brink of extinction. Perhaps humanity is taking revenge? |
