A wonderful composition of one of Slonem's most iconic subjects, Birds. This piece depicts gestural figures of black Birds against a white background with thick black paint. The color white symbolizes safety, purity, and cleanliness. This magnificent color is delicate and precious, representing positivity and perfection. Slonem traces these 15 birds with thick black paint over a white background in quick gestural strokes. The horizontal bird wires, also painted in thick, black paint, create additional movement in this wonderfully whimsical work. Inspired by nature and a genuine love for animals, Slonem's paintings encompass unique inspirations drawn from the world. While viewing this piece in person, it is as if we are surrounded by elegance effortlessly and enchanted with the charm of the birds. This painting invites us to celebrate nature and the simplicity of form from the inspiring world of the bird. The painting is signed and dated on verso and is presented in a vintage gold frame.
