OBVERSE PAINTINGS
by Fred Chuang
FLAMINGO
36" x 48"
For
a short while, I became obsessed with the idea of trying to paint
birds. While researching, I came upon an understanding of the
potential for abstraction that the Flamingo offers. It was a great
revelation to discover the flexibility of the long-necked beauty, not
to mention the beautiful folding of the wing into the funny, bulby body
we are so familiar with in its plastic incarnation as lawn icon. And
then there's the color! Oil pastels enhance this depiction.
